Agree 👍 but I can also see the point made that we aren't a team put together to fight relegation.  Bit like Tielemans who can win you a game but gives missing when you're in a scrap. 

Fair points. 

[Leicesterpool]

This time next year, we will be league champions of league one. At the moment even that sounds unbelievable.

London.

First game of the season too, I would guess.

I’ve had a feeling it will be Cambridge at home but Bromley is a recurring suggestion and would sum up where we’re at in a nut shell. And we’ll lose!

[Chelmofox]

Our defending for their goal:

 

 

Why are we more concerned with cuddling the opposition. Hamza getting his Saturday thrills in there and Begovic is reliving his time at Uni. Jannik looking for some friends and Mavadidi taking a sh1t.

So I guess that’s pretty much it then. We really are getting relegated. Just as it looks like Spurs might be relegated and I can’t really gloat!

Actually, Thomas and Winks were pretty good in their positions today. That’s all.

Winks???

 

Are you new to football?? He was atrocious

Did we test their keeper? One header. Beyond the realms of shiteness. One huge positive, Daka has 3 games to go then gone.
 

Oh well Bromley at home it is. A new squad, play the youth & remove the poison from the open wound. Winks can do one too. 

The shit Daka missed a sitter 2nd half when he run onto the short back pass and tried to play it thru the keepers closed legs when all he had to do was take it round him for a tap in.

 

Can't wait until this c*u*n*t leaves.

No idea what the set piece coach does on the training ground. Was gobsmacked to see DCR and Thomas trying to mark their 2 tallest players from corners. Watching DCR trying to stop his bloke was painful. Literally trying with all his might to stand his ground as the chap just walked forwards without any aggression at all. Was like watching a 5 year old trying to push over an adult. Who comes up with these ideas?

So poor wasn’t it, and Abdul was part of that huddle but wasn’t facing the corner taker and instead was looking in the opposite direction at one of their big lads!

How so? I watched the whole match; he did what was required of him. I understand how hated he is by some fans, but I try to be objective. He had a pretty decent game today, and fought, unlike some other players.

 

Yeah, we lost, but their player scored a goal with his hand; in the first half Daka was clearly knocked down and no pk given. VAR would’ve been on top of that.

We are still atrocious, no doubt.

[filbertway]

My favourite thing was seeing Bobby Reid marking colby bishop on the first corner

 

Dno if that changed after but that was genius, if we have a set piece coach still either him or Bobby need to be told their services are no longer required 

[ClaphamNorthFox]

Last time we went down to league one, we didn’t have a load of players on premier league money wages. 
This is absolutely the worst Leicester team in history in every aspect.

Winks was his usual swaggering self, a half decent technique that’s seldom used other than within 4 yards of Vestergaard,  as his movement is severely restricted by towing his caravan full of ego.

This illustrates exactly what I said - hatred for him is blinding. He had a good game yesterday and completed some well-placed forward long passes. One of the dear few players in yesterday's match who did what was right.

[Number 6]

"Had a good game" 😂😂😂

 

Come on.

Do most teams have player on the line?

How many times do we have a shot blocked on the line.

I didn’t notice him having a good game. Are there any stats to check? His terrible free kick in the 2nd half sticks in my mind- I think it was after we were 1 down and when we needed players like him with his reputed great technique to deliver  but again he failed. 
As to his shooting for one with so much talent, jeez 🙄 

[PAULCFC]

Been said so many times before.......why don't we leave Daka at least on the half way line for opposition corners?He's not going to do much in our box and makes the opposition leave at least 2 men back.

That and him screaming and visibly getting annoyed at Fatawu I'm assuming not making himself available for a pass

Not Leicester-related, but I'm still bemused about Atletico not having players on the line in the last minute of the 2014 Champions League final.

If you look at the goal Richardo is facing the wrong way and difficult to clear.

That's 3 recent goals that could have been cleared of the line.

Should have played Hamza he always clears off the line 🙄 

Remember 3 against wba

It’s so basic.

 

You leave one with pace near the halfway line and one or two outside the box.

 

We pay Hughes for this. It’s tragic.

I'd always have players on the posts, no doubt. Especially when we always lose the first header anyway.
