What does Maddison offer? Poor at set pieces 9 times out of 10, misses the target often when given good chances. Fair enough he keeps hold of the ball, but honestly such little end product, and blows hot and cold too often. Get rid in the summer.

I mean he has been our best player since December? Maddison has papered over the cracks at times.

[The Bear]

Can't say we deserved that result but we have a knack of digging out results lately. Maybe we were due a bit of luck against you lot.

 

You were by far the better team in between our two goals, and our possession was absolute doggo today. We didn't press as much as we have recently either. Not sure the subs worked for you really, but our change to 3-4-3 helped nullify your constant direct attacks down our wings. Ultimately two good long strikes won it, but you could easily have scored more.

 

It was a decent if not stellar performance from you lot but your defending has become poor, understandably so given the disruption through injuries. I don't think changing the manager is the answer. Once you get a fully fit back line you'll be back to your old selves IMO.

They had less attacks but probably looked more likely when they got in those positions

I know what you mean. We rely on individual brilliance too much. The team doesn’t move fast enough and tend to hold on to the ball for too long before we attack, giving time to the opposition to settle. We must attack faster and the no. 1 blocker to that is having Ndidi in the team.

We didn’t really wipe the floor with them, we didn’t create a huge amount of good opportunities but that’s against a team that’s obviously good defensively so understandable. Actually managed to defend well ourselves for a change - mostly with the ball - apart from in two key moments.

 

You’re fighting an uphill battle on here trying to be objective and nuanced. The Rabid Brendan outers who make FBPE Twitter look normal will drown it out.

And those 2 ‘key moments’ were shots from outside the box.

[SuperMike]

It looked like Wolves were playing against a kindergarten team.

Weak, pathetic, embarrassing.

 

We're not winning another PL game this season, are we??

They defended better than us and have a good goalkeeper.

 

We didn’t deserve to win it, only Richardo, Lookman, and KDH really come away with any credit.

 

7th away loss in a row.

Check the stats.

Same sh*t different week. But as long as we were the better side that’s what matters most, right? 

Rubbish. Most often we deserve what we get as we have been poor. Today we were much better & didn’t deserve to lose. Typical Leicester negativity. 
This season has been a car crash regarding injuries, tactics & luck. Finish mid-table, rebuild & go again next season.

You happy then with no wins in how many games now? That's not an exaggeration. It's a fact. And a very worrying one. 

No course ain’t. 
 

I just happen to look at it a bit more nuanced. Take every game as it comes. Particularly given the opposition we’ve played in this run 

[trabuch]

Schmeicel has to save their 1st

Not sure what game you were watching - though we were the better team for large parts.

Yes. 

No we didn't our efforts were easily saved

[funkyrobot]

The better team by some distance lost that game today. We were let down by our finishing and beaten by two worldies, the latter of which should’ve been flagged as offside. Our attacking set pieces are every bit as bad as our defending of set pieces. The balls don’t beat the first man and we hardly put anyone in the box anyway. 

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Let's not have a bashing thread today, because we did not deserve to lose that. Much much improved and just need a hit of luck

 

 

[Philkeavo]

Played well today… going forward. Our defensive play however is just a f’ing mess. We all know we should have strengthened in the January window. I just hope and pray it does not come back to bite us at the end of the season. 

[Webbo]

I don't know how anyone can blame the manager for that (but I know they will) 2shots from outside the area that any team could concede after we dominated the game away to a team chasing the champions league places. 

[Preston Fox]

I thought we played pretty well today overall. Our set piece delivery was horrendous though and our defending is a bomb scare. Going forwards we’re still a very good side. Luck is going against us-I think 1 win will spark a turnaround

If we go by stats we wouldn't have won the league would we

[RowlattsFox]

Set piece delivery was the worst I've seen today. Whoever took them.

[chapero82]

The worrying part for me is that I can't see where our next win in the league is coming from

You'd think we were prime peak Barcelona today looking at some comments on here. We were toothless and conceded two crap goals outside our box. At the end of the day, another defeat and nil points.

i dont think we'll see a solid backline under rodgers tbh. even when they do come back they seem to immediately get injured again 

[enmac]

2 draws, 3 defeats. No Vardy. Without him in the first half of the season we'd be close to relegation.

Better yes - but so easily brushed aside.

[RowlattsFox]

In isolation I think most would be pretty happy the performance. But it's not going to be enough when we've been shit for months.

We do not want goals like that being flagged for offside. No way.
