Aluko killed that sadly by taking 10 slow touches before he passed when he could have done it first time.  Alves is getting into a lot of space, it works when they find him quickly.

It didn't help that Page played the ball behind him, if it was in front of him he had space to run into

[coolhandfox]

Over playng, should  be out of sight.

[hejammy]

How is this still only 1-0

[Stopharage]

For anyone enduring the Barnsley commentators, this game is also on Sky Sports +2.

Thomas falling over cos the ball was stronger than him

Send the ball off. Barnsley don’t seem to need it anyway 

[Fazzer 7]

Really should be 3 in front.

We've been worse since the red.

I agree. It’s like we are shutting up shop rather than putting them to the sword. More urgency would be good. 

[Shane]

Gale has done well against Alves. Looks like a good player

[Rubbersoul]

The decision making and over playing drives me insane. 
 

Should be way out of sight though.

Incoming goal

[TheGoldenGod]

Continue to play at this tempo and I'd be seriously concerned! You can see why we arent rated in this league.

Aluko great physicality, but he struggles with decision-making on the ball and holding on to it to long.

[Gav_LCFC14]

Making this much harder then it needs to be. Crazy complacency.

Why are they trying the high press when down to 10 men?

Because any opposition coach can see we absolutely cack it when pressed. Best chance for them

As much as I don't like Faes, he is passing forwards into space and trying to push Thomas higher up, rather than the slow square ball.

[Jattdogg]

Really need to get 2 quick goals 2nd half, no excuses. Finish them.

[Clever Fox]

I watch the Utd v Brighton midweek, We're better than Utd.

[plinchiestincture]

It's funny how Alves developed a second syllable when generally in Leicester speak syllable numbers are reduced.  You c'u'nt make it up, mi duck.

 

[mozartfox]

Aluko off please.  This Ref is under pressure to level things up.  

[Claudio Fannieri]

Decent 1st half some of the football when it clicked was sublime but need to finish off these good chances we are creating and kill the game off. 

[Dan]

Honestly think if it's 11 v 11 we've probably got another. It's forced them back a bit which they needed to do.

 

There's no excuse for not sailing through this one. I'd never put it past us though.

[trabuch]

The captain has played well

It's like we've been told on receiving the ball, I want to see at least 4 or 5 touches before you play a pass.

Infuriating .

[James_lcfc]

Played some decent stuff, and actually look like scoring when we go forward. Decent.

 

Not perfect obviously, and a few are struggling a bit, but pretty pleased with that!
