Given the quality I see in Kasper, I wonder why other clubs have not been in for him (or have they?)
He seems to be worth a few points a season to you but he is never talked about as a transfer target

Maybe I've got the wrong impression of him and you'll tell me he's not that good, but it surprises me

Probably the best shot stopper in the EPL, but doesn't command his area enough on set pieces. If he did this he'd be at a top club.

2-1 against struggling Bournemouth. 20 mins to go.

Another fine example of how to self destruct.

Very worrying as Bournemouth are awful. Until the goals they were lacking any fight like all their recent games.

Tactically, Rodgers is clueless. We were dominating and then he changes it, it's happened too many times.

The lack of effort stands out a mile too.

When that ball hit Evans on the head he made no effort to stop Bournemouth scoring again. It should have been their 5th.

It was a total collapse.

Didn't understand that at all, push for a 2nd and 3rd. Bournemouth were offering no threat whatsoever, why change so early.

Our players are bottlers too, was the same in the Villa semi final games, the mentality with some of this group is all wrong. Every new manager starts out well and then the players seem to just give up, it's been the same for four managers now.

Unless it was for injury, then I just don't understand it either. It's cost us the game, Bournemouth were gonna score even without that Kasper mistake, they were all over us.

Is it the same group of players over these four managers? Surely lots has changed?

How are none of them identifying the root of the problem?

It's bizarre how Leicester manage to swing in form so dramatically.

Sadly all part of the frustration of being a Foxes fan!
It seems as though they worked hard and reached a comfortable, if surprising 3rd.....and relaxed.....too much and for too long!
I said it then......and I say it again!

The same spine really. Schmeichel, Fuchs, Albrighton, Vardy, Gray. Probably one or two others who don't feature as much now too.

I've said for a while we're shot, it's mad that we're still in with a chance of top 4, but that second half tonight was the worst I've witnessed for years. The players should hang their heads in shame.

Still no accepting of responsibility by Rodgers, absolutely nothing. At least Kasper has come out and apologised for his mistake. I get the feeling Rodgers won't be here in 12 months time, which is something I never thought I'd have said last Christmas.

does no one else get annoyed with mid season contracts? take this year, we were doing great, we then rush to dish out new contracts to keep our players and manager with no doubt hefty new sums paid, since then theyve been pretty awful, can we now ask to pay them less because theyre doing crap? no, at worst they get sacked and get a hefty payout if its the manager or the players are still a millionaire by the time their contract ends.

I have felt more detached from football than after after covid and many players thinking they were being hard done by or barely willing to take any sort of a pay cut and I've seen very little effort since theyve come back, you look at the fight of Sheff utd for example and it really shows us up as a bunch of wet lettuces, too soft.

Their mindset has completely been obliterated since Christmas but I dont think I have seen such a woeful display since watching first hand our pathetic last game before being relegated to Lg1

I dont get angry or upset about it any more, but I dont feel how football serves me these days, its much harder to go see it with my dad unless we pay over the odds for memberships and think its all just getting rediculous with wages, VAR etc etc

If Leicester even make europe next season Ill be amazed, they need to take this like Southampton took our 9-0 battering of them and come back fighting or they will totally ruin what should have been a great season

I've said similar all season mate, I've never felt more disheartened watching football, it's just not the same. Obviously not going to the games and the day out mean it's a lot different, but all the VAR drama and the what seems to be corruption just leaves me with a sour taste.

I'll still renew my season ticket, but I dunno, I've been looking at non-league for a few weeks now, but the main attraction to LCFC is the day out with the lads. I think if that ever stopped I'd just give up following football completely.

That's where I'm at, my dad and I whikst weren't season ticket holders use to make several games a season no matter how we were playing. I've been to Wembley as a kid a few times, each time my dad would be camped out to get tickets and was a fantastic experience and I was there to see us relegated each time too.

Now that it's hard to get to any game where we can all sit together I'm losing the love of it.

To think that they are earning obscene amounts of money to do really what it is they enjoy, no matter how well they play, and realistically very few players really care about the club they play at unlike the fans.

Just doesn't sit right with me, I would say the bubble will burst eventually but it just keeps growing!

Better from Leicester. But Barnes and Justin were shocking.

I thought Justin played well tbh.

No-one really had a bad game, but Tielemans, Ndidi, Vardy and Thomas (on his debut too) were all class.

Barnes finishing is poor, it has been all season, he needs to work on it (although I'd imagine he already does), every shot seems to just go straight at the keeper. He's only young though, has time on his side to develop and become a class winger.

European football guaranteed, I just we're allowed to go and watch the games, otherwise it'll be a bit of a disappointment. Definitely gonna need 4 or 5 signings now too, we'll have a lot more games next season.

We're on our way, we're on our way, to Europa League, we're on our wayy.

Absolute bottle job considering we were 14 points ahead with 14 games to go, but hey ho, at least we'll get a European tour later on in the year. I best start putting some pennies away, wouldn't miss it for the world, even if away fans aren't allowed at the games.

Unlucky in the end, the last game could have gone either way. You really only lost due to injuries.
