Why has Tielemans been dropped recently? I always thought him and Maddison made you tick and they had a good partnership!

Any tips on the best places to park if coming from the M1? I don’t mind a bit of a walk if it means an easier getaway afterwards.

I’ll be going to an evening match next month.

Yes, jct 21 if from the south. Probably best to park (early) on/around Saffron Lane and walk a bit.

It sounds good but I wouldn’t want to take advantage at a medical centre (saint that I am).

You’re not taking advantage hehe , match day parking is one of our main fund raising activities and helps keep costs down for members. Oh, and it’s on a small industrial park smile

Sounds like you just don't want to shell out a few quid for a good cause.

I'm going to be shelling out whatever happens so I'm happy to use that car park if it's absolutely kosher, as has just been explained above.

How are we feeling then after the 'blip'

I think it's shown us a couple of key areas we do need to improve to move forward properly, gray for me is just not cutting it with the same issues he's always had, some moments of skill but not enough and often a poor or wrong ball at the end of it.

Barnes, looking like he may be really starting to get his confidence in the prem like he had at West brom, really hope he kicks on from here.

The 1 thing I can't get my head around though is the big games, from the start of the season we haven't really got them right, and I felt at Christmas we just completely went off the ball, the effort went and almost looked defeated before we even started.

I know this is being picky when we are sat 3rd in the prem and still in. Oth cups, but it's those big games we always use to rise to, those games we have potentially coming up at Wembley or the fa Cup and hopefully the champions league next season so really hope brendon gets that sorted out, he never did well with celtic in Europe and wonder if they were similar or just because they were abit crap.

Overall though who can't be happy, we know we are very much a work in progress, it's taken Liverpool 4 years and some serious signings to get to their (all be it annoying) team that I'm sure will be remembered for a long time and win plenty of trophies again.

Also, how do you feel and tielemans? Whenever I see him recently, he seems to be sitting that bit deeper but plays simple sideways or backwards balls, very few of those killer balls we know he can do (like praet at the weekend!)

Well I'm feeling happier, there certainly was a low period with the team, but a couple of good results and they seem to have regained their "spark"......bounce

Agree about Gray. Usually no end product/poor decision making.

Gray is massively st. Ok as a 5th choice winger, that's about it. If we are serious about being a top 6 club we need a world class winger, we have done since Mahrez left. I'm still sticking with 5 more wins gets us top 4, I would be shocked if it's anymore than that.

I'm not too confident tomorrow, got a feeling a single goal will decide the game, hopefully it's in our favour.

Although Cov at home would soften the blow of losing somewhat.

Well after the driving showcase from grelish in the previous games, their crowd on side and a st ref, it could be a bad game. If we send out full strength and play like we know we can we can st house them.

Never a dull moment being a Leicester fan lol

I'm not having fans saying we bottled it, it was just a good cup tie.

We went out guns blazing and if their keeper hadn't had 20 weetabix or the var guy had his glasses on it could have easily been a different game altogetger.

Gutted to lose though but fairbplay to villa, they really wanted it and stuck to their game plan.

It's just highlighted the wingers yet again though, perez left Ricardo abondoned time and time again and they took advantage, was annoyed to see no change of that at half time

As a neutral I thought that it was a great game. It would be gutting for any team to lose that late on though. Cruel.

Yep, I said to my dad who was on a plane whilst the match was on, it was a cracking cup tie, and it actually reminded me of supporting Leicester as a kid watching us scrap out last minute wins against higher opposition under O'Neil, unfortunately we were the higher opposition on the receiving end this time around!
