So Wilf's goal is not a bright bit? I thought I's struggle to enjoy watching us but is that goal does not bring a smile then I don't know what would

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

Hey what happened.. did Milo not get a booking today?? We were still poor, and touch control gets worse... Better with Tompkins reading the game.. the penalty just one of those things. I saw the hand ball at the time... they started talking about after the match.. Angle of the ball from head well done Mitchel and Clyne... WHEN can we start practicing throw ons?

I’m feeling a lot of frustration on this thread. But the fact is we aren’t that good and after having conceded 10-0 in the last 2 games be thankful for small mercies. Take the 1-1.

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 Agree 100%

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.
Probably true but Mitchell can hopefully only get better with experience whereas the alternative is Van Aanholt who can’t defend to save his life.

Better performance in the second half and pleased with the point .Thought Barnes took his chance well and I do not blame our defence for that one.Benteke is useless and takes his wages by false pretences.Great finish from Wilf but how come I don’t fancy him with one on ones with only the keeper to beat .Thought Schulop was our best player in the first poor first half.

I don’t disagree about PVA and hopefully TM can improve considerably. I just don’t see either of them being up to it at the moment and we need to recruit in the LB position in one of the next two transfer windows.

It was good to see him back. His performance however, was another thing. 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 He also needs a decent central defender alongside him and it would also help if the midfielders (especially central) weren’t cart horses

Prior to the game i would have been happy with a Draw. Leicester are capable of beating anybody on a good day.
