Justin’s lumps down the line to no one are doing my head in

Somebody needs to give him an option or he'll keep doing it.

Better energy, better fight in them but my God, you can drive a bus through our midfield and defence.

Haha did you see those final 3rd pass stats? Hahaha 

How we're not in the bottom 3 I'll never know

We're so much better tonight despite our limitations. NDiddi and Soumare have been excellent.

Are you having a laugh?

Winks is injured. It’ll be Skipp but he can’t replace both Ndidi and Soumare 

I meant Skipp, my bad

Al Khannouss is nowhere near up to speed with this game. Looks heavy on his feet. 

Probably our best player after Vardy

[don_danbury]

jj thinks he's playing for west ham.

[Bilo]

On the plus side, we look threatening going forward. Chuck a bit more pace and strength in and we'd be horrible to defend against. 

[Clever Fox]

VK getting no help from El Kanousse on the left side.

Skipp is surely better than Ndidi? It’s like playing with 10 men when he plays that position.

 

We look a lot better with Vestergaard in there though. He’s our best CB of the current crop.

Still criminal that Rodgers played Amartey when we had Vestergaard rotting away with the youth team 

[foxes_rule1978]

Got to find a way of holding on to the ball more, we just keep giving it them back, struggling with their press. We have scored, and had a couple of opportunities on the counter, apart from that we have looked poor 

[Tom12345]

There are so far 3 weak links in our team where when the ball gets to them, we will turn over possession pretty soon thereafter:

 

Kristiansen - tends to hoofs it up to the opposition

Justin - ditto

Ndidi - bounce passes to defenders and puts them under pressure before turning over the ball

 

Given unless we change shape we are not going to get rid of Justin or Kristiansen, we have to drop Ndidi

[FoxyPV]

We're so ponderous on the ball

[EastAnglianFox]

I swear the best football I’ve ever seen a Leicester side play really didn’t seem that long ago.

 

Has any club regressed like this in such time?

 

yet again just so so Leicester 

[Iwebema]

It's all just a bit flat now isn't it, going to take some time to bring some confidence back, you can see the structures and style are there, but the players are a bit hesitant sometimes.

 

Just need to get in at half time and regroup a bit.

No both have been our best players even if not perfect.

[Mike1983]

We've got 2 prem level players, desperately need to strengthen our squad.

Same with Justin, slows down the play allowing West Ham to press then sends it back into a dangerous area.  

Indeed. Justin, Kristiansen and Ndidi

 

But Ndidi is a midfielder! First off the pitch for me. But you are right too about Justin (and also Kristiansen).

[Finnegan]

The difference in possession between Ndidi-Soumare and Winks-Ricardo is immense haha. 

[StanSP]

That's not a booking for Coufal
