Not good enough. 
 

 

You take a loss ??

[Dames]

Dont want to see anyone attempt to defend that. Absolutely disgusting. No fight, no effort, no desire. We had to win and we spent 90 minutes backs to the wall riding our luck for a draw. Heinous. They should all be ashamed.

[Ted Maul]

Well if we do our job against West Ham then Everton have to win. Changes the complex slightly. Also takes Leeds out of the equation.

 

Performances like that are how you stay up. Shame we've left it until we can only deal in wins.

[The Doctor]

needed that 2 games ago tbh. all out on Sunday, at least if we go ahead early then Everton will get restless and their fans can get pretty toxic

[kristianity77]

Disgusting.  No attempt whatsoever to try to avoid relegation.  Another absolutely shocking performance.

 

This is the worst Leicester team in terms of application and direction that I've ever seen 

[ACF]

I thought Timmy had scored, feels like a loss to me

[Finnegan]

So. 

 

We have to win and hope Everton don't. That "simple."

[Bob Weasel Fox]

A point when we needed to win

 

simply not good enough 

[leicesterisme]

Bizzare to willingly put our fate into another team’s hands

[foxes_rule1978]

A crap point, needed to win

I get the plan but we weren't all busting a gut at the end as Iversen farted about and Nidi sat on the floor.

 

Souttar immense.

 

The agony continues...

Thick as pig shit. Playing for a draw in a must win game. Relying on the gods and bloody Bournemouth now.

[foxfanazer]

Think we played a combined 3 minutes of football altogether. Good defensive performance from the woodwork and Souttar

[matty98]

Must win game and we have 1 shot all game. We fully deserve to go down. Cowardly performance

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Souttar was good and that's about it. Wouldn't have minded that result or performance if it was a few games back but it's not going to be enough.

 

Can't believe how many of our lot struggle with the basics these days.

[kingfox]

I’ve seen a lot of World Class centre backs in my time, Cannavaro, Nesta, Terry, Vidic, Amartey.

 

But after tonight, Big Harry Souttar is the greatest centre back I’ve ever seen.

[Benguin]

It was in our hands, it isn’t now. If Timmy scored then we’d be saying it was a masterclass but I will unashamedly say I am fuming that we didn’t go for all 3 from the off. 

[Kitchandro]

We chose to go down with a whimper then. It’s almost like the players think they’ll be spared the abuse against West Ham because it was ‘out of their hands’.

 

Shameful. 

[Swarles Barkley]

[Lionator]

Everton have done this before, no way do they blow it. 

[Maybes]

In a game we needed to win. A game they’ve been talking about winning all week. We had one shot, ONE and in the 93rd minute. Iversen time wasting. Wtf. Reliant on Everton ****ing up. Piss off man. 

[Ashdav86]

I'm actually OK with that

 

Clean sheet

 

Better position for final day

[StanSP]

Quite obviously the plan was to hold out as long as possible and have that golden chance to score, which Castagne actually did really well for.

 

It's out of our hands. Which is pathetic in itself based on things way before tonight.

 

Also quite clearly why we played like we did - if we open up to attack from the off, we just don't have the capacity to keep an attacking team out when we go to attack.

 

Souttar was brilliant.

[eastendfox]

So close. But far better than I expected.

[honeybradger]

Where was this fight all season? Poor offenvsively but we've kept a clean sheet against one of the best sides in the league through hard work and grit.

 

Play like this every week and we would be safe, sadly it might be too late.
