Obviously we have watched a different game great pass from albrighton with no one at the back post, Simpsons shot, Maguire not gambling off another great cross, Mahrez missing a sitter in the second half.

We had one shot on target in the whole first half - from Simpson - and that fairly straight at the keeper

Quite how you think we should have scored three from that is beyond me

If you cherry pick the handful of moments we weren't absolute garbage then of course we weren't absolute garbage. Take away their goal and we've won one nil too. We were shite. I'm a stats person but no stats will convince me that was anything but utter shite.
 
Awful display, little invention and playing against a team with a keeper who was operating on one leg and we hardly made him break sweat, we are devoid of any attacking ideas or intent. Our play is laboured, lacks any tempo and is so one dimensional. That was on a par with the Levein years ....nothing football with little invention, full of negativity and focus on not getting beat rather than playing with energy and freedom.

Shakey release the shackles or feck off, we are hideous to watch.

That cross was tantalising, and going across the goal with no West Brom defender daring to go for it for as long time, was just asking for someone to have the confidence to gamble.
 
Personally. I thought the result was worse than the performance. Had Mahrez not missed that sitter, I think we would have looked increasingly more settled. As it happens, WBA played as we expected and frustrated us. It was a poor goal to concede and then we went wobbly. But, believe it not, I found myself feeling happy-ish with our performance.

I think WBA pushed up to protect their injured keeper and that made it difficult to test him. Well played Pulis.

I was actually quite impressed by Iborra, a huge improvement. A steadying influence. Iheanacho couldn't get into the game and I was surprised not to see Shinji come on, but he's showed enough touches and ability in the past for me to feel he was just having an off day.

We've got a ways to go, no doubt, but I saw enough to give CS a stay of execution.

Now I best log off for a few days in case I cause meltdown! ;)

Well that really showed the Big Six why it's absolutely right that TV rights money should continue to be evenly distributed across the league. Expect an unstoppable public demand for all Leicester City games to be broadcast live every Monday night.

On the specifics of the game , it's like this bloke Ludlow Fox says - it was just so unfair that WBA decided to field a keeper with only one leg to try to deter us from trying to score.

I assume that the Leicester strategy is to get relegated until the club reaches Shakey's level.
 
We have to change it up to give Chilwell a start - stay with the 3-5-2 and play Vardy with Okazaki. Midfield is a big problem as Iborra clearly is taking a long time to get up to speed. All will be OK but we really need to get 3 points soon to get some confidence.
 
****ing hell that was inept.

My poor eyes.
 
Oh and surely it's only fair that little Christian Fuchs gets an award for his performance tonight?

It was a thing of bewildering levels of inadequacy.
 
Boring, second rate garbage.

From Schmeichel through to Vardy, they were poor and gutless.

I could highlight some awful decisions again, in particular the inexplicable withdrawal of Iheanacho into midfield early on. But I can't be arsed any more.

Wake me up when we've got a real manager.

I felt sorry for Iborra from his first appearance. I realised he was a good and experienced player - in Spain. Obviously I wouldn't want to claim the expertise of our brilliant player recruitment people. But just for interest what do you think made them feel he was suited to the EPL high tempo game?
 
Also I think it's worth pointing out that Vardy was wank.

He made a couple of runs when he could be arsed but more often than not he was static and rarely pulled his defender.

Fed up with most of the old guard, it's a genuine shame but some of them are completely ineffective.

What are you doing man? Haven't you read the script? You're supposed to come om here and have a fit about how terrible we were and not draw any of the positives out of this game at all. You and your sensible, calm and reasonable posts are going to give this place a bad name.
