We were second best to a very good team, good job Heaton had a good game because it could have been a lot worse.

Lots of misplaced passes and Leicester's midfield dominated. We need to pick ourselves up now and put in a decent performance and soon.

Hard game, Leicester being a top 6 side, we've now completed our run of difficult games, pretty much what you would expect to happen has happened, exception being Man U, now the easier games and the pressure is on to turn this around and maximise points from these games and get us back to safety.

Got some real conundrums to sort out here, what the hell do you do about Wesley, he's just not at the races and we are desperate for a goal scorer.

They're better than us but we played like headless chickens and showed an almost total inability to get the basics right.  One or two decent attacking moves in the first half but that was about it.  To be honest, only conceding 4 flattered us.

I can't think of any genuine positives to take from the game; in fact there is a lot to be worried about.

Taught a lesson today and need to learn it quick.

Striker(s) in Jan, we knew that in August.
Another CB
Pick the best players every time.
The manager needs to be less stubborn.
Be more fuckin professional on and off the field. The Mings thing today was shocking.

It's December and it's the first time we've been dismantled so there is plenty to work with but  i feel that much of what has happened is bought upon ourselves.

Totally outclassed. Too many of our passes are hopeful rather than accurate. If Grealish wants to get in the England team ahead of Madison he's got some work to do. Wesley isn't doing well at all. McGinn also very poor. Merry Christmas.

Wesley will play in the next game. What does Kodjia need to do to at least be given a chance? That was simply dreadful and massive dumping on our fragile confidence and on our reasonable goal difference.

I’m fairness to Wesley he got absolutely nothing as well. They were all rubbish today.

I have to question anyone (including our manager) who thinks it’s a good idea to choose Elmohamady over Guilbert. Is that based on the former being judged to have done ok in Wednesday’s defeat?

Elmohamady is an average player and a poor defender. Guilbert is a good player and a good defender. He was available and fit today. What could poosibly justify not playing him?

I forgot about Heaton. He deserves a mention.

Vardy, striker who holds the ball up, offers himself, runs odf the shoulder and can finish. Wesley, none of the above.

You get what you give. Even when we do cross the ball in he's no where near it. He can't get around a defender off the dribble. He has terrible instinctual movement and can't hit a ball from distance.

He's good at one thing, trapping a ball off a goal kick and then promptly passing backwards.

God only knows but a few more baffling decisions like that will soon see the manager out of the door.

We are doing the hard work for the opposition. So many of the goals conceded are from sloppy passes or individual errors.

So frustrating.

A 1mil, non-leauge striker vs a 25mil Brazilian with Champions League experience. Who'd have thought..

If he starts Wes up front on his own in the next game, I’d happily see him sacked.
