Bit negative for supporters of a team in a cup final and still in a good position in Europe cup.


If you were to lose the cup final to city do you still get a Europa cup place as runners up?

Think it goes to the league.

No chance. It'll be at least 6, probably 8.

I can't believe teams haven't figured Leicester out yet. They hit long balls into the channels, it's not rocket science and teams can't defend it.

Think they are a bit better than that.

I'm pretty sure that's an exception not the rule.

I'm not being critical, I love it! I'm just amazed that teams haven't figured it out yet!

Exactly. Solid defenders shielded by 2 disciplined midfielders with lots of pace in the side. It's direct & effective & much like we were doing when we had Suarez, Sterling & Sturridge but we didn't have the solid defenders.

I've said it before & I'll say it again, we have zero pace in attack. Lucas, Henderson, Milner, Can & Lalanna all seem to tread water when we attack. They take too many touches & often their passes are behind players stunting any momentum. I'd say we can only afford 2 of those 5 in the team at any time.

What is the point in yet another revolution? It will only mean another season of transition, players getting to know each other and the manager. Buy 3 or 4 quality players and it will lift the current team.

When we had Suarez, we didn't have a particularly good defence but we got to a whisker of winning the league, with players that had settled for at least a year.

Sturridge's perpetual injuries have killed 2 seasons now, that and not buying decent back up for him.

The one saving grace is that we might not qualify for Europe this season. Would ease the burden in the transitional season to come.

The only game I'm OK with losing this season. If it helps Leicester win the league then it's 3 points well spent.

However we looked poor. I've only seen the highlights from MoTD, but it looked like there was zero cover for the defence on their first goal from midfield. I think Lucas' form has dropped in recent weeks, not sure why Allen wasn't playing?

Also, granted he's been out for a while, but does anyone else feel Henderson is currently playing for his future?

Fair enough, misinterpreted your comments as negative.

Really? Never... Milner and Benteke wear our number 7 and number 9 shirts. How could we improve on talent like this?

No one in their right mind would want to build on this squad. What's the saying about polishing a turd?

Mings kept out two really good chances first half. Then goes and shows Vardy the goal gaping wide open for the first goal. Not sure he needs to be dancing around outside his area like that when there's no chance of the ball being passed back to him.

Madness. Vardy says he spotted him coming way off his line before hand. Planned to embarrass Mings, and did.

Are you joking? That was a stunning strike!

Poor old Mignolet, can't do anything right ha ha.

Exactly... It's not like they didn't deserve the 3 points either.... Unfortunately I think City will win it, not through being better but purely through attrition durning the rest of the season. Leicester have two huge, huge games coming up... Win against City & Arsenal & they have a real shot at the title. Good luck to them I say.

Liverpool however... We look a million Miles away, and I think we will see a bit of a summer bloodbath, as mooted most of our squad is distinctly average, maybe Coutiiho & Sturridge stand out? But that is about it, and Sturridge starts less games than our third kit....
