The handball incident really does leave a bad taste; it kinda felt that we were just not going to win the game.
But good luck to Villa in the final.
I think their keeper may be even busier than last night though...

it is stupid to be fair, arms raised in an unatural position and 'saves' the shot. If that wasn't made for VAR I dont know what is!

but despite all that and the super keeper, we should be able to see out the last couple of minutes, well actually, we should have been able to take the momentum of the equaliser and go on to win it but we didn't, it was just one of those nights it seems

still not as sickening as going out to Chelsea in the FA cup to a diving penalty!

VAR is so pointless, it's just the same officials making the same incorrect decisions. I thought we were unlucky and should really have won, but we didn't take our chances. I think we need some leaders on the pitch, get 2 or 3 this summer to add some experience to the team like Pearson did when we won Championship, and also when we completed the Great Escape. Give Rodgers a voice on the pitch, a leader to speak to the team when we're under the cosh like last night. At the minute we only have Evans, all of the others are just young players.

Chilwell can fk off, in the tunnel before the semi final of a league cup against Midland rivals and he's shaking all the opposition players hands, smiling and joking with them. It reeks of bottlejob attitude, and that's exactly what happened last night. Hopefully the loss will spur some of them on in the future.

We now need 5 more wins out of 14 to guarantee top 4 (in my opinion). A point or three against Chelsea on Saturday would be a great start.

2 points dropped today I think. Barnes should have scored and I thought we had a half decent shout for a penalty for handball. Despite his goal still think Chilwell needs to up his game, some of his first touches were awful and he was well beaten for their second goal. Hopefully the ‘winter break’ will do them some good! Wolves and Man City up next and then a run of games against teams in the bottom half. Still think we’ll finish 3rd.

Meh, I'd have taken a draw before the start of the game. I'd take a draw against Wolves and Man City too tbh. We'd need probably 4 wins after that. Hopefully this 2 week break will give us a chance to recharge before the final run of games before the end of the season. On paper we have winnable games, Norwich away, Villa at home, Brighton at home, Watford away, Everton away, Arsenal away, Palace away, Bournemouth away. If we can't manage 4 or 5 wins against that lot then we don't deserve top 4!

Would have been very happy with a point before the game so still am, but that's one of the worst VAR decisions I've seen.

Surprised Maddison stayed on the pitch TBH.

Stand corrected laugh I thought they gave the offside for the player who passed it back to the corner taker.

Agree. Barmy VAR decision. There can't have been anybody in the ground or watching it on TV that thought there was even a suggestion of OS.

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.
Just thought I’d round this off by thanking Stuartmmcfc for the suggestion of the MS Centre car park.
Stuck £10 in the bag instead of the £6 charged especially so that I can tell BadBull to go and fk himself. hehe

We need a minimum of 8 points (worst case scenario) out of the next 18. We should be aiming for at least 10. 12+ would be a great return. If we don't get a win against Norwich I'll be seriously worried that we aren't gonna secure top 4.

Talks with Fuchs open about the posibility of a new deal. Great news if true, vital experience which will be needed next season.

Losing to Norwich now. Is that the pressure starting to ramp up on Rodgers?

One must entertain the notion that Leicester are not guaranteed a top 4 placing.

There can be no greater dread, no situation more horrifying than a Man Utd side chasing you from behind.

Can’t understand why he keeps dropping Tielemans. Him and Maddison are much better together!

It's not surprising to those that watch us regularly that we lost tonight. We've played well once or twice in almost 3 months. Perez is lightweight and doesn't offer enough. Chilwell is quite frankly a disgrace and should be dropped, the defending for their goal tonight was embarrassing, he should be in training early doors on Monday morning due to that alone. Maddison hasn't played well for a while either, we're carrying 4 or 5 players and this time we haven't got Vardy in the form of his life to get us out of the rut. We'll get some form of European football, but for the first time in a while I'm seriously thinking we won't finish in the top 4. I said at the start of the season we were overachieving, I didn't think we were good enough for top 4, but those around us seem just as poor and haven't took advantage of our form. Ndidi is also a big miss, we're much better with him, so hopefully with another weeks rest he's back to normal. Stll 4 wins needed, I'm confident that will be enough to see us over the line. We've still got some tough games coming up, we really blew it tonight, if that was a Puel performance the fans would be calling for his head.

Against Villa I'd go 532, use Bennett as a CB, put Fuchs LWB, bring Ndidi back into the fold and start Vardy and Iheanacho up top. If we lose there, I think the top 4 chance will be very low.
