We were terrible and lucky to get a point... 1. How many times did Andros put in poor crosses apart from the one for the goal 2. Jimmy Mac just plays us into trouble every time he touches the ball. 3. Milo hell bent on getting a card when he goes in for a challenge. 4. Tekkers failing to close defenders down. 5. Ayew his first touch is that of a clog dancer. The only bright bits were Tomkins back along with Michell

No idea what to make of that game. We were complete sh-t for the first 50 minutes. Zaha scores a ridiculous goal. We look somewhat better after that, but then concede at the end. If we had a plan, I have no idea what it was. I don't think there was anything to build on from this performance. No player played particularly well. I was glad to see Tomkins back. Mitchell was ok. That's about it. Regarding our terrible passing, I think it's because our players stand around so much, there is almost never anyone open and moving forward to pass the ball to. We win the ball, and everyone stops and stares at the ball carrier. So the ball goes backwards, or the other team easily intercepts it.

Gave away a needless pen and then ball watched for Leicester's equaliser. He needs game time to get himself back up to speed,and that can take a while

So we got a point against a Leicester side that made 7 changes and played their Carabao Cup side. Doesn't anyone find it in the slightest bit embarrassing that Brendan Rodgers thought that little of us that he could make 7 changes..!! Beyond that we were totally outplayed and woeful first half and but for a great penalty save from Guaita would have been 1 down at half time..!! Better first 20 second half and a moment of magic from Zaha..!! That aside same old, same old - conceded in the last 10 and then hanging on..!! If anyone thinks this is vindication for Roy to stay on as Manager they are sadly deluded - he's got to go..!! COYP Pretty much sums it up for me, however I would not be relieving Roy and Ray of their duties until we have a suitable replacement lined up. I would just add that the more I see of Mitchell the more I think he’s simply not up to it. Defensively, on the whole, we are either too old, too slow or just not good enough.

You could argue that when going forward, we played better against Liverpool. We looked a team low on confidence, especially at the start of the game. Second half was better. It's always disappointing to concede late goals, but Leicester deserved at least that. A point against an in form, second in the table team is a good building block going into the next match.

Townsend is not so much a poor crosser but rather crosses from the wrong areas of the pitch J Mac is always thankfully getting his foot in , the ball goes loose , hes probably thinking wheres the help. Milio like J Mac likes a challenge , its why they are in the cm positions . Teckers does the job on the defensive side , its the least of his problems Ayew I would agree , he is off the boil . Yep ,good to see Tomkin back though the head in the hands was an indication that he knew he could have done better with the Barnes goal . We will excuse that though along with the first half pen seeing as the lad is a bit rusty

If our players made more of a fuss, like Henderson, they would have had to look at it I agree, although I saw one of our players (Kouyate?) appealing for handball so I’m still bemused why they didn’t look at it?! And that can’t be true about the goal kick being taken quickly so they couldn’t look at it, otherwise teams would just use this as a ploy to prevent decisions being reviewed.
