A second successive Shakespearesque performance. Lame tactically, and sloppy all over the pitch.

I was fine with the changes for the game. The first half looked good but we didn't create a lot. Second half we were terrible and totally lacking in ideas and inventiveness. Withdrawing two of the three players that appeared to have a brain out there didn't help either. Bringing on James and Gray, wow.

Anthony Taylor was stoned through that match. There is no other logical explanation for his disinterest in the whole affair. Both in terms of lacking interest in speaking to any Swansea player for their time wasting or fouling, and his inexplicable lack of added time in both halves. There should have been at least five minutes in each.

Coming away from the match, I did think to myself - well that's City without Mahrez for you. Irrespective of your attitude to him and his behaviour, we've sure missed him this week.

All of this. The second half was abominable and taking off Iheanacho who was the only player who looked capable of producing something creative was bonkers. I don't know how the team that went in after the first half became the team that came out for the second but Puel needs to find the answer to that question pretty quickly and deal with it. As for Gray, there's no point in even bothering to try and assess his performances anymore - they've all become tediously predictable.
 
Have to agree about the poor substitutions. Bringing on James to change a game in any way is never going to be logical. How he is seemingly ahead of Iborra in the pecking order is baffling.
 
We absolutely murdered them in that first half. Men against boys, and we should have been up by three or four

Second half we started poorly, and gave away a quite ridiculous goal

And then Puel effectively killed the whole game by making two utterly stupid substitutions and destroying our whole rhythm. It was just plain awful from that point onwards. Our two best, and most creative, players sitting on the bench watching Matty James and Demarai Gray play like complete turd.

Pathetic

Two points down the shitter
 
I'm also getting a bit tired of the fact we should be beating teams convincingly but haven't got the ruthlessness or ability to take our chances.

If our goalkeeper had learnt how to come and catch balls at some point in his fairly lengthy career we would be better off.
 
Worked so hard for just one goal in the first half. Then waved them through (started with Silva fannying around and missing his tackle which led to the corner) for a gifted equaliser.

7th place still looks on ... At this rate 50 points may do it. Embarrassing.
 
Anyone who says Maguire isn’t a good defender is watching someone different to me.

His touch is superb and his distribution is better than all the other defenders we have put together.

Vardy worked his nuts off and was very good. Nacho was very good too. Diabate had a good home debut and will learn game management with experience.

Silva was great first half but still needs game time too to become sharp.

I am baffled as to what Schmeichel did wrong ?

Ndidi was very good and is very tidy.

We should have won it by half time but I kinda knew we would need two and that’s how it turned out.

Silva has his own Portuguese fan club there today which was nice.

The last paragraph is the conundrum we find ourselves in as Leicester fans,where do we find the creative guile to not only open up the opposition,but to also create space for others to exploit.Mahrez is a void that cannot be filled by any other Leicester player.I think this has shook Puel more than he lets on.Gray needs to step it up

Missed chances, sloppy mistakes and forgetting to turn up for the first 15 minutes of the second half. I do fear we’ve seen the best of gray and generally there’s still work to do to improve the squad particularly as we prepare for life post Mahrez. Fuchs was at fault for their goal and defending at set pieces is simply an embarrassment.

We as a Team are the worst statically dealing with Dead ball situations in the Premier League,my opinion on this is we have a back 4 that is in transition and will need time on the training pitch to iron out the problems.Dragovic is building a nice rapport with the Future Captain of England Maguire,Fuchs is a liability as he switches off to players behind him,Chilwell is a young player who will learn under Puel.Neither Fuchs or Chilwell are getting any help from the player on the wing in front of them and that needs to be sorted.
 
There were countless times today that we over passed the ball as there was little effective movement or an effective ball to be played to expose their defence.

Having said that we are still in transition and are doing well in this phase and I am happy for the rest of this season to ‘amble’ and allow Puel to build for next season.

The above excludes the FA Cup which we should go all out to win.

I agree but i thimk 7th place will need 55 points, that will still be probably 10 points short of 6th.
So can we do it? yes of course we can if we can iron out our defensive frailulties and sort the midfield creativity out.
I think only Burnley and Everton can pip us should we slip up on what is a relative easy run in after the Man C game.
Hopefully in the bag before we take revenge against Spurs on the final day.
 
Sitting here on the last bus home, reading through some of the after match comments, I have come to a conclusion
You are all just a bunch of ****s that don' know what you are feckin talkin about and I'm pissed (Just a little)
Also, tomorrow the sun will come up and he doesn't give a shit either :)
 
One other thing....


You can't play a ****ing passing game without movement, and I don't count every player running away from the man in possession as movement.

A complete lack of players dropping into space centrally.
 
I think Puel got it wrong with his subs today, Nacho should have stayed on, James should have stayed off (Iborra should have come on) and I'm not sure Shinji offers much when coming off the bench
 
the thing with that goal is I can imagine the abuse Chilwell would have got yet Fuchs is skating again, he's a liability
