El Khannouss was the only one that looked like a Premier League player.

 

Coady and Vestergaard did well to keep Isak quiet for the first half.

 

Hermansen make some nice saves.

 

Other than that you're looking at 1s and 2s out of 10. It was every bit as hopeless as the Brentford debacle.

[LFEFox23]

Mads, Vestergaard & Bilal only ones that have any credibility after that dog mess! 
 

Disappointed in Ruuds team selection and tactics to be honest. Yes he doesn’t have a lot to pick from and injuries/suspensions but that defensive midfield pairing was up there was one of the worst!

I think 6.3 is a bit harsh on Mads, today could have been a calamity without him.

I think Ward is a bit of a scapegoat not sure he was wholly to blame for the first 3 goals. The worst players for me were Skipp, Hamza and Kristiansen who gave Murphy the freedom of the pitch as he popped over to give us 3 to 1 on Isak. But when you have 77% pass rate and only 63% in the final third there’s a real collective blame about this team.

He wasn't, but you could see the confidence drain from the outfield players after he conceded the first goal after coming on.

 

BTW I think you mean the 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals. 4th goal was defensively crap, but to get megged as a goalkeeper, shameful.

 

Mads was in goal for the first.

No I mean the first 3 the only one he should have saved easily was the one Murphy put between his legs. Mind you Kristiansen had just given Murphy a free run at goal. 
As for the confidence that’s down to the other players. If they know he’s a problem then they need to put in the extra effort to cover for him as you would expect for a rookie keeper.

I'd rate mads a 9 today considering what followed.

 

No better than a 5 for the rest I hate to say with quite a few on 3

Conor Coady’s Leicester City stats vs Newcastle United
The likes of Oliver Skipp and James Justin did not cover themselves in glory during the 90 minutes.

But Coady was by far and away the worst player on the pitch, especially when taking a closer look at his stats from the match.

As per Sofascore, the centre-back was given a team-low 5.6 rating, he won just one duel against Newcastle, lost possession eight times, made a key error leading to a goal, had 49 touches, was dribbled past once, and didn’t make a single interception.

Coady may have been looking forward to lining out against his ex-side next week, but there’s no way he should be in the eleven after that display.

[Sly]

Dreadful. 
 

Questions needs to be asked of Ruud to be honest. 
 

We can’t keep chopping managers though. 
 

That was every bit as bad as the worst of Cooper.

That's what I rated Mads... and pretty much how my vote went
