Defense terrible - Harry and Wes far too slow and now on yellow cards - they'll be lucky to stay on in 2nd half if Bournemouth keep running at them. Kasper only 3 attempts to stop - and each one went in.
 
What a total and utter shambles that was. Absolutely dreadful

This manager is completely hopeless in every way

Still, onwards and upwards, eh...
 
“Give him a chance with his own team”.

He’s got his own team now and it’s still embarrassing beyond belief.
Yes but that will now shift to, “he needs to be given more time with his own team”.
 
Unsurprising the over reactions on here as this has been an unlucky half for us where the scoreline could easily be level or the other way round.

****ing well annoying but hardly the battering that the scoreline and many posts on here are suggesting.

Not really. Right from the start we've played an attacking game and created more chances than we were doing towards the end of last season.
But that's left us open at the back, and the defending has been awful.

Certainly more attacking intent and a higher press. The defensive errors and soft underbelly remain. We are a soft touch. A cardinal sin for a Leicester team.
 
The concern for me is that we're not conceding goals due to individual errors. The handball was unfortunate but was definitely a penalty.

The other two goals were entirely down to our defensive shape being totally wrong. I can only imagine someone like Hansen or Carragher trying to make sense of a back four that are in a massive zig-zig all the time. Vardy would have scored five in that first half if he'd been playing for Bournemouth.

Add to that the two holding midfielders are not protecting the defence. I don't know what they are doing but they were missing every time we needed them.

Add to that three powder puff attacking midfielders that flatter to deceive and it's a recipe for lots of defeats.

I said before the season that I didn't see us conceding less than last season and it's pretty obvious now that we're going to ship goals quite easily. The most worrying thing is that we don't have Mahrez to bail us out any more.

That makes everything better. So unlucky that we keep losing to shit teams. So unlucky that the players don’t look interested when they come out of the tunnel. So unlucky that whoever is in charge of transfers keep spunking money up the wall. So unlucky that we play mindnumbly boring football. So unlucky that we have been a defensive shambles for two years.
 
Called it absolutely bang on before the game.

The way he's set us up against Bournemouth at their place is criminal, it's like he's not even aware of who they are or how they play.

The defensive setup is completely suicidal.

Tactical nightmare

Yep. We need to concede less goals this year. I thought spending 40 odd million on the back four suggested we knew that and yet here we are.
