Theyve been clinical because our mistakes have been far worse but we had plenty of chances to punish their mistakes too. 
 

Before that goal we had more shots than them. 

Have you seen our powder puff shots?

Don't be silly, they are away from home and have been all over us.

This is it. They've ripped us apart on numerous occasions, same as Norwich did. At our gaff. Infront of our fans. And we've fucking spread our legs for them.  Fucked it.

This is hard to watch. Defensively crap. No defensive midfield. I still think we'll come good but my god we've had a couple of shit games that highlight where the issues are.

 

It is now on Martin to earn his money and sort it out.

Yet we could have scored 3 or 4 ourselves

We really couldn't, not with our level of finishing.  Leicester have won this at a canter.

Yeah apart from the bits where we’ve more possession and more shots. 
 

They haven’t outplayed us, we outshitted them.

We need Charles in midfield. Trouble is, at the moment, that means playing Holgate. But it that's the case, so be it. We are too open in midfield and at the back. We can't keep trying to outscore teams. (Albeit we have to now!)

Agree with this. Midfield without Charles hopelessly inadequate.

Fuck me, I thought we’d suffered enough last season. Obviously not. 
 

Time for players to look each other in the eye and say this is not fucking good enough.

It would be an insult to schoolboys to say we're making schoolboy errors. How many managerial fuck ups can this lot make?

I'm afraid to say I'm all for Martin leaving now. From what I have seen, this is the worst we have been in a very, very long time. He is absolutely tactically clueless.

Where do we go from here? Anyone got any ideas? It's frighteningly bad.

Martin has to go for a start.

This THB came here with a glowing reputation and we have managed to make him look fucking shit.

An absolute dogshit performance and just shows we haven’t learned a thing.

All any team has to do is break on us quickly and we are done.

If Martin was an ugly fucker and annoying like Jones, everyone would hate him. This is arguably even worse then that period.

More possession and more shots doesn't mean shit if we're not even testing their keeper.

Tapping it around in the final third and hitting tame long range shots straight at the keeper does not qualify as "outplaying them".

Doesn’t make Leicester any better. A good team would have beaten them tonight, they’ve been shocking for a team that’s top of the league. 
That’s how bad we are.

Knew that Leicester would be the toughest challenge.

They are clearly a better side, way more stable and well drilled. They deserve to be ahead but good grief we've made it easy for them.

Ridiculous tactics anyone can see that. After shipping 4 and 5, I'd have expected a dour gritty match.

First aim would be not to concede. Charles has to be in midfield. Holgate just has to cope. FBs need to stay in their proper position. Make Leicester play against two resilient walls of 4. Bluntly both man and ball should ever pass.

Once control has been established gradually let the flair players loose.

Be pretty grim to watch but neither would Saints be 4 1 down.

They are better than us by some distance.

People laughed at Leicester signing Winks. Pretty much head and shoulders above anything we have in midfield 

Agreed. I said I wanted him here and got laughed at. 

Vestergaard also better than any of our CBs.

They've made a few mistakes but they have kept a decent defensive shape to stop us getting through and been clinical on the counter. A perfect away performance really.

Anyone thinking Leicester won’t win this league by 10 points is a moron. We’ll be luckily to be top half. 

Smallbone is fucking terrible, just as we all knew.

Leicester haven’t broken sweat. They’re just sitting back now waiting for an easy counter. Preparing for a few seasons in this league.. if we’re lucky!
