Not sure if this has been said but there were a few times when it cut to Rudkin and top in the stands.  
 

it looked very frosty and uneasy. Hopefully top grows a spine and holds Rudkin to account to the shower of shite that’s on the pitch

If a double relegation isn’t a sackable offence for a DoF then I don’t know what is.

 

Total shambles from top to bottom this club  

[old koppite]

I was fairly happy with the first half , apart from them having a lot of possession, but can’t understand what happened to us 2nd half and why subs weren’t made earlier- all the commentators saying what a strong bench we had.

Did we even have a clear chance second half, apart from the Daka tumble with their keeper, which the luckless Daka couldn’t work out where the ball was! 

[Sunbury Fox]

Knew I shouldn't have got my hopes up. Won't make that mistake again. Against a huge amount of competition, I genuinely think that was as bad a performance as we've delivered all season. Shockingly bad. The kind of defeat that you look back on later as the moment you knew relegation was a certainty.

Not denying second half was very poor…..only silver lining is everyone else lost and we are no worse off, and that’s despite some being in front at some point, can’t see anything from Ipswich next week, gets easier after that we can do this, encouraged by James return, think DCR can’t play where he did today….Begovic sounds like a twisted ankle, and Lascelles to replace Okoli…we haven’t had a centre forward all season…..can see Mukasa & James playing through the middle…..be nice to have Ramsay back……keep believing…..

Don't do this to yourself.

[em9999]

It's irrelevant others around us losing

 

When we couldn't beat our way out of a wet paper bag with a penknife 

 

 

[ozleicester]

Just to be clear... we have played shitty football for 4+ years. The ownership, management/s and players have been shit for half a decade. Tthe question is why?

[Chrysalis]

From my observation of first half it was still too slow over technical laboured passing, not direct enough, no dribbling forward.  Didnt watch second half as we were so bad in the first.
Norwich managing simple passes, us failing at it.
Norwich pressing us in our own 3rd, whilst we didnt press them enough.

Gary needs to go more radical, and if needs be tell Top it is what it is, the football he wants cant be played.

Wrote a paragraph but actually cba, we are shite, relegated and going out of business

I’m where Jake is, sorry, but I actually want them to get relegated. 
 

I ****ing hate them. 

[LCFC_JAY]

Everyone needs to calm down. We have 11 games left to save ourselves. Yes we’re in a terrible situation but we’re not down yet with any stretch of the imagination. Still well within reach of survival so let’s back the lads and get ourselves out this mess of this season

Honestly, just don't do it to yourself. Yesterday proved they can't. Yesterday showed it's not the manager. The players have failed us. The club said they wanted the fans behind them, they were yesterday, and the stadium was more full than I thought it would be. The fans were loud, but the players gave us nothing. They failed. They are relegating us because mentally as a group they are weak with some brainless. 

 

I'm done. We're done, we are down. We are still relying on other fixtures and that isn't a comfortable place to be. We had the opportunity to build on the draws and had an opportunity to get out of the relegation zone and they failed. We go down, not promote. I genuinely believe there is high chance we could go bust, or we'll be Sheffield Wednesday next season. If we do have a points deduction due to going into administration, then league 2 is a possibility. 

 

Rudkin is a disaster of a DoF. Top is a disaster as an owner. The players are pathetic. This hasn't happened over night, this is years of bad decisions not just 1 bad season. Honest question, what is left to get behind now?

We were poor, but I actually thought they were a decent side certainly one of the best I’ve seen us play this season.

I thought, unluckily for us, they were comfortably the best side we’ve played this season, and apart from the Scottish international who I did recognise but couldn’t name, I hadn’t heard of any of them. And when it comes to shirt numbers, they had a number 8 and maybe one more but most were in the 20’s! New signings or kids? But far better than us, on a good day for them it could’ve been 6-0, apart from a Winks shot I can’t think of anything we did.

[Greg2607]

They are third in the form table over the last 10 games. Clement has them playing some decent stuff. 

 

Our problem, is that our team is worse than the sum of its parts because we are so unbalanced.  

 

We have to hope that we can scrape enough points to survive and that someone sensible is REALLY assessing the squad and trying to rebalance it. (I do realise that is a big ask)

 

Our season doesn't hinge on yesterday's result, we haven't lost ground on those around us, but we need a win soon.

Interesting you talk about slow over technical laboured passing because that is exactly how I saw it.

 

In the PL there is no doubt that professionals at the top of their game are able to move the ball and the opposition around but then , bang the space opens and play opens up.

 

What we see at LC is a group of players who have been coached to a league and that league isn’t the championship. Norwich on the other hand are pragmatic and they epitomise the phrase  “ play to your strengths “.

 

Was the two draws the height of the new manager bounce ? 
 

Norwich were a pragmatic middle of the table Championship team . Yes they are on a decent run but in terms of results this season save the last 3 or 4 games their results were actually worse than LC yet they looked far superior.

 

This really was a game where I thought we would see a change but it was the same. There is time to change things around but that window is slowly but surely closing.
 

If and a big if Oxford are able to get a win at PNE on Friday they will go above Leicester and does anyone think there will be a win at Ipswich?

 

 I wasn’t looking down I kept looking at the clubs that needed to be overtaken and that number is slowly reducing but now Oxford are looking up and clearly have LC in their sights.!

Look at Oxford !

 

You can’t get past that if we are looking at the form guide for any sort of indication as to what’s going on then LC have the second worse in the league. Only Sheffield Wednesday are worse!

Mate, we’re relegated, with got a bunch of players on loan, a bunch of players out of contract, who don’t give a shit (bar James probably), and the ones who do try are shit. So unfortunately it’s all over.

 

Yesterday was like when Wimbledon came to the old walkers back in 2003 I think it was…. They were just done as a team and as a club…. Yesterday felt like that. We looked done, in every sense of the word.

[kingpowerout]

Fullbacks - weak, offer nothing going forwards (aside from an occasional long throw - if you can call it that)

 

Centre Backs - slow and cumbersome who can’t play out from the back even though they are being coached to

 

CMs - Weak, slow and only comfortable on the ball when under no pressure - how may times did Skipp get caught on the ball yesterday!? Winks technically the best but only when he fancies it

 

Wingers - one trick ponies who can’t beat a fullback unless it’s kick and run around the outside (comes off occasionally with Abdul but don’t get me started on Mavididi)

 

Strikers - offer ZERO. Can’t control the ball, no strength, height or intelligence 

 

we have a sprinkling of quality with the likes of James and Mukasa but that means nothing when the rest are rotten.

 

We really need to accept our fate here and it’s going to take a long time to sort it out

It wasn't just that we lost it was how we lost that's so depressing 

True ... one thing that struck me is that on the rare occasion we were in their 18 yard box ... they had 3 or 4 players closing us down ... when they were in our box our players stood watching and admiring ... I have never seen such a poor defence in all my years of watching Leicester 

[FoxesTalker]

There won't be many other away wins over the weekend in the top two leagues which were as deserving as Norwich's yesterday.

Seriously cannot be arsed to check ... but as our striking options  how many goals have Daka, Mavadidi, Ayew and Fatawu managed to get between them 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Absolute delusional levels of optimism but at least it's a game week further on to getting James back with no ground lost. But that it like I say absolutely delusional.

 

Basically the future of the club hinges on getting a 21 year old loanee back from injury. Life under King Power.

I wanted to check, so I put Leicester City top goalscorers into Google and it just laughed.

For those who sit at the front of the kop, did you see that squirrel doing a runner yesterday?

It had seen enough!!!
