Vardy is really missed it seems! Have the team settled for a Mid to low table finish?

Looks like it.

Don't think we've got a lot of choice.

We were pretty toothless upfront but for once I'm not going to blame the manager, think he did the right thing resting players ready for the game on Thursday. We ain't finishing in the top 7, we ain't getting relegated, so we may aswell focus on the ECL and try to win it. It's annoying how VAR takes 5 minutes to come to a decision, didn't really think it was clear and obvious if it's taking that long, unless they were looking if it was a red card? Was at the game so don't know too much about it.

Daka is obviously new here and I'm confident he'll come good, but at the minute with his back to goal he looks really poor, can't hold the ball up at all.

2 goal advantage on Thursday, but if they score I'm fearful we'll collapse, we're definitely going to need at least 1 more goal. Was 50/50 on going over there but have got Cheltenham on the Friday at 9am so it was a bit of a hassle organising and sorting it all, in the end decided to put my eggs in the we're going through to the next round basket, and if so will book flights for the next round as soon as the draw is made.

Entertaining match.

Talking about Schmeichel playing into his 40's, how is he anywhere near that, doesn't seem 2 minutes ago that Schmeichel Snr was still in his 20's.

Knew we'd need a goal, dunno how we haven't drawn that game 3-3 though, clung on for dear life at the end.

Draw tomorrow afternoon, cash ready to go for flights, wherever it is I'll be going, what an adventure this season has been!

Interesting game against Man U.....Good to get a point, ( nearly 3 but for VAR....). lets see how our Euro adventure works out.

Got to stick my neck out and say we've been pretty good recently, fair play to Rodgers, long may it continue.

Huge game on Thursday, would snatch your hands off for a single goal win.

If that challenge had happened outside the area, it wouldn't even have been considered as a foul.

Well our Euro adventure has been made harder by the 0-0 draw against PSV, at home on Thursday!

The 2 - 1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday is a great way to start the week!

The seating at the KP seems really strange, why have the family section next to the away fans? Two of us managed to get tickets on general release for the Palace game and ended up in the closest seats to the away section, but we were surrounded by kids of 8 and under. A couple of lads - late teens/early 20s - behind us were giving the Palace fans the usual levels of grief and got warned by the stewards for the bad language as parents had complained?

I guess the away section needs to be at that end to get them onto the coaches as easily as possible but why not swap the Kop to that end too? Get the Union FS down that end too? From where we were sat Palace out-sang Leicester all match long. Did smile at "we're Palace, we clap with our hands"...

Disappointing to lose...yet again in extra time. It would be interesting to know how often that has happened to the Foxes!

What a blow. I thought Newcastle had settled for the point. So did the city.

Wrong.

Something to do with the cells being under the stadium, needed for the away fans. I can't remember the specific reason but the KOP and Family Stand can't be swapped around.


Back to earth with a bump today, Tielemans cost us a point, spineless on the halfway line, take the man out and take the yellow, earns us a point. He was shocking in the week at PSV aswell.

PSV away was the best away end I've been in and the best LCFC trip I've been involved in, absolutely fantastic couple of days, but loads of trouble out there.

LL did you go to the away Rome game? Felt like we went out with a bit of a whimper and the occasion/atmosphere may have got to a few of the players.

Oh dear. Things got a bit sticky with the toffees.
We didn't really wake up until 15 minutes before the end.
Tielemans didn't help, over hitting the ball on a couple of vital occasions.

Yeah I went, probably the best experience I’ve had following Leicester, the stadium and the atmosphere from the Roma fans was unreal. Set pieces are our undoing again sadly.

Today was shocking, and Rodgers post match comments were a disgrace in my eyes. I really hope we don’t give him the summer and money to spend, we’ll regret it massively if so.

Not often I’ll say this but I can’t face going on Wednesday, we’re laughably bad atm, cba to make the effort.
