I believe we are now the first team in the Premier League era to lose 5 home games in a row, without scoring a goal.

 

The lack of investment in an attacking player after we lost Fatawu is baffling at best, but Cliff says all is good, so what do I know.

No Norwich 2020

Are you hoping it will be six?

A lot aren’t going to like it, but game changed when we brought Ayew off for Mavididi.

Hes got to start now going forward. He was brilliant today.

No-one else in the position is there? Presumably JJ out for a while.

[RowlattsFox]

In isolation it was OK, but clearly not good enough to win games at this level. 

 

Defence generally played well but they aren't capable of seeing it through. 

 

Ruud too slow with the subs, clearly doesn't like his options and I have sympathy with that but he's got to be proactive.

Yup just needed some special from the manager in making better subs at the right time and we could have got a win

An Arsenal team missing their normal  front 4

Not much more to say really, other than we’re just not good enough. They were shite, but scored two and won comfortably in the end.

 

We cannot defend, and we can’t score. Put a fork in us.

[Iwebema]

Let's be honest Arsenal were really really poor. Normally a 2-0 loss to Arsenal is nothing to be annoyed about, but you will struggle to get a better opportunity to win considering how bad they were.

 

Ultimately our failure to improve in January will see us go. It's just the same every week, look OK at points, no goals in the side though, i refuse to believe there wasnt a single player out there even on the cheap who could improve us going forward and then after not scoring we just have to wait for the inevitable defender to lose concentration.

 

Sleepwalking into relegation part 2. Look forward to the new review in to where it went wrong. Pathetic attempt at being a proper club again.

Which unfortunately isn’t good enough. You need to be solid for 95. You can kind of understand their second goal we had to open up a bit and we were always going to be a bit more vulnerable. Not taking anything away from how well we defended but they’ve had two chances and scored both. We’ve yet again failed to score and we’ve been in decent positions to do so, but also seem reluctant to shoot at times. The annoying thing for me is that we won’t see this kind of solidness against Brentford. Most people expected us to lose but really we could’ve been coming away with a valuable point. They were there for the taking. 
 

Wasn’t surprised to see them dive around a lot, whinge to the ref and the clown kept on falling for it. 

[Jaspa]

Stick a CF on, get a goal. Meanwhile we have Patson Daka. Heinous lack of depth to the squad.

"Leicester are just the third English league side ever to lose five successive home league games without scoring."

 

What a season.

Imagine sitting through over 7 and a half hours of football, losing them all without even scoring! 
 

it’s indefensible 

[South Shire Fox]

Said it before and ill say it again.. Not signing any wingers or adding pace to the attacking options in january has relegated us. Absolutley zero pace or attacking threat in the team. Was absolutley critical they brought someone in to replace Fatawus threat and they did fck all

Edited 15 February by South Shire Fox

[adejo92]

We played better, yeah, but yet again far too easy for the opposition to score.

 

It's points that keep you up, not good performances, so it means fvck all really doesn't it.

[JonnyBoy]

We have lost to shit Man Utd team 3 times this season and lose to an Arsenal team who literally have no decent attacking players. This season and team can get in the bin 

[Foxdiamond]

So much pressure on the side not to concede when we know we can't score. All about when we first go behind and then how many follow. 

[MPH]

Leicester city. Always breaking records…

Why are Leicester fans protesting??? They’re so entitled

I’ll concentrate on a positive today…

 

Woyo Coulibaly 

13/14 successful passes

3 tackles(2nd most of Leicester players)

3/4 duels won

3/4 ground duels won
 

Thought his 1 vs 1 defending especially was very decent. 

He’s going to get many weeks of practice now …..

[The Doctor]

defensively better than we have been but there's only so long you can sit defending for before you tire, you need an attacking outlet and none of Ayew, BDCR and Vardy are that currently. swap those three for Mav, Daka and a n other for Friday and we can absolutely win

[ronnup]

Something something "better"

Something something "can see what hes trying to do"

Something something "Vardys 39"

Something something "not his fault"

 

 

Lose

 

Repeat

[trabuch]

It's unfathomable that Vardy is playing 90mins. 

[FrankieADZ]

Thought we sort of didn't deserve to lose

 

But all in all meh, nothing changes

But a game is 90 plus minutes.... so 10 plus minutes of not being solid ... there's the result
