1-2 then.

Despite all the doom and gloom on here we deserve a goal for the first 15 minutes. Corners, shots on goal, decent passing. Everything people were asking for pre match for Sir Ron and seemed to forget happened at 2 down.

Whole Mings injury and him deciding not to come off straight away messed up the next 20 minutes and possibly the result. We're still in it though.

Needed that goal, but fucking hell we’ve been poor.

The decision not to take Mings off straight away also cost us a goal. Dreadful.

Need to be so much better in the second half.

Still in it but two huge mistakes. The selection of Elmo (who I actually like) over the superior Guilbert and letting Mings hop around for 60 seconds leading to the concession of a goal.

Not good enough.

That's give us a lifeline back into the game, we really have to step this up in the second half, if we can, just maybe..

We spent 25mil on a Brazilian donkey. They spent 25mil and got James Maddison.

Fan-fookin-tastic!  Little bit of luck, just at the right time.  We're back in it, having not so much ridden our luck as flogged it into the ground.

At times in that half we looked like a plucky but crap lower league side - the whole Mings thing was farcical, borderline unprofessional.  But we did also look decent coming forward and carved out a few chances of our own.  The lack of quality in the side though is worrying; it's Jack playing by himself most of the time.

Good time to score, but 1-2 flatters is massively! Being super optimistic, the best we can hope for is a performance 2nd half and snatch a draw,  but I can still see Leicester scoring more- look like scoring every time they push forward.
We do look better with Engels in there mind

Yes, the first goal was definitely influenced by Mings immobility, but if you go back a phase Wes avoided a really easy pass to Jack, choosing instead to turn into trouble and gave the ball away for an easy counter.  His job is to win the ball up there and lay it - which he could have done and we'd have retained possession in the final third.  Mistakes like that annoy me more than a missed chance, because it's a simple thing and easy to do.

They definitely deserved the second though, we were under pressure for a long spell. I think 1-2 is a fair reflection of the first half, but if Anwar puts that chance 6 inches lower it would all look so different...

Not good enough.

In normal circumstances would get Freddie on but that would leave us only one of Trez, Kodj or Hourihane to being on then.

Think we'll leave AEM on and then use two of the above.

Always an indication things are not going well when our players rant at the officials.

Wesley is a donkey. Offers fuck all as a center forward. About as threatening as Kermit the Frog.
