Thought we were pretty well beaten tonight; in some respects our own mistakes contributed to our downfall but Leicester were excellent going forward and looked pretty solid defensively despite missing a few key players. Overall a bit of a reality check for us - still think a mid-table finish will represent a very good outcome this season....

Agreed. 4-1 was perhaps a bit harsh but they were the better team for most of the match.We looked to be lacking quality in their half once Pablo went off.
The first half was the worst 45 mins of football I can remember under Bielsa (Derby game never happened in my head..)
AWFUL - lost count of the number of hospital balls we played, everyone forgot how to pass.
Koch was asleep the whole half, Vardy took the piss out of him and Championship Bamford was back.
Strange bench as well, I think Gelhardt could have taken one of the defenders spots.

I know we were hard done by with a disallowed goal today but we're shipping far too many at the other end for my liking at the moment. That's the third time in eight games we've conceded four and in one of the others we conceded three; very difficult to keep amassing points when you're letting in as many as that....

Nearly. Played well but not enough shots on target.
One point better than none.
The ball didn't run for us tonight but it was a decent performance and I thought we were the better team even when they had 11 on the pitch; feels like 2 points dropped but at least we kept a clean sheet! One point better than none.
Having slept on it, thoughts below.
We absolutely battered them, even before the red card.
Commentators said that was the most chances in a first half for any side this season.
I am tired of hearing how good we are when we are barely averaging over a point of game, need wins out of these performances, absolutely profligate finishing.
Cooper was bloody rash twice towards the end, Llorente is apparently close, wonder if he will get a run?
Koch seemed to think he was Baresi second half.
Harrison needs to shoot more.
Rodrigo needs to start, even looking a bit rusty last night, he is so obviously a class act.
KP is crucial, I know he stayed on, hope the knock is nothing that will keep him out.
2 more tough games to come, although Everton are wobbling a little, would love get one over the fraud Lampard after them.
Cannot wait for the scum game!

Sadly, I think Cooper is out of his depth at this level.
Yes, I think you're right. Before Bielsa arrived I thought he was out of his depth in the Championship but to be fair he's improved significantly over the last couple of seasons; however, hard work only takes you so far and, while he's an honest enough pro - and perhaps a good personality to have around the squad - I'm not sure he's good enough for the Premier League. He made a couple of poor and unnecessary challenges that gave away free kicks in dangerous positions yesterday and if you keep doing that eventually good teams will punish you...
