There is no cohesion, no understanding or awareness.

This may sound like excuses but how do you utilise a player like Werner if no one passed to him when he's making runs?

We have neutered some of Europe's most promising and successful attacking talents.

We are clearly getting punished by not signing Alex Sandro and Bamba now. It's still not too late though!

Speechless ... body language is all wrong all over the park ... Zouma, Gilmour, Azpi and Giroud the big winners tonight. What does Gilmour have to do to get a game ? Our midfield is beyond dire ...

As long as their is breath in Alex Sandro's lungs, their is a chance of signing him.

it's the hope that kills you so probably a good thing that tonight killed off any hope for this season

I honestly thought when Mendy and Silva arrived and we were playing well up front that we might surprise a few people - seems the only surprise is how easily we've been undone

at least we're helping to make the title race interesting for followers of several other clubs

So sick and tired of how easy it is to attack against us. There is never any midfield protection, it';s a simple ball between our midfielders and all of a sudden they have acres of space running at our back 4. Tactically woeful.

Absolutely. Nothing will get better until we have a genuine strong, physical midfield presence. We are so lightweight it's embarrassing.

So we played 3 balls over the top in the first 5 minutes and caused them all sorts of issues and after that reverted to type.

And Bamba. It's true I'm making it a thing slowly but surely.

This cannot go on, players look dejected, I am afraid the board need to act now.

I’m not overreacting here.

lamps needs to go sadly. It just isn’t working and we have been found out.

with the money spent we should be top3 at a bare minimum.

Why are our players not passing through the centre ? Every time Reece gets the ball it goes straight back to Rudiger then Silva and repeat.

Truly frustrating.

Everyone knew a midfield of Kovacic, Mount and Havertz wont work. What in the hell was Lampard thinking ?

Must say Rodgers has got Leicester playing really well as a TEAM and we were largely outclassed tonight. 

That was the difference tonight, players all drilled, working for each other and always looking dangerous as opposed to us, slow, predictable & ponderous and lack of effort from most. You look at Leicesters players who many wouldn't have heard of before this season and then look at the way some of ours go strolling around. Pathetic, over paid, over hyped believing they are the "generational talents" that they've been made out to be by some when they need to achieve a bit more in the game before they can be deserving of such labels. 

Let’s be honest here in our next three fixtures does anybody see us getting anything out of any of those games?

Teams have learnt to close the options down and we have no onswer.

Oh well somethings never change,

Martin Tyler is still a massive c***!

That’s what depresses me the most. A few months a go we it looked like top 4 wouldn’t be difficult this season and we were a dark horse in the title race and now it’s looking like it will even be a mountain to get top 4. If we started the season bad it wouldn’t be this painful.

Bad result. 
 

But the boys gave it everything. Can’t fault the effort. A few players were under par. Breaks went against us though. 
 

need to bounce back against Wolves. I can see Lamps really firing the boys up with Wolves on the receiving end of a major walloping.

I reckon a dead Alex Sandro could do better than some of our defenders.

could we have Rodgers at the Bridge?? a few years ago I'd have said absolutely not but he knows how to put a team together

I know the match day thread can be a little crazy, but reading the comments there is a shift in support for Frank staying as manager.

We couldn't wallop our way out of a paper bag.

That actually looked like a team near the top of the table at home to a mid-table team.

To everyone born after the turn of the century on here having a good moan about league position. I well remember a time this was about right for us. Trust me it'll get better.

Last time all it took was for the owner to flog us for the price of half a dozen McDonald's chicken nuggets.

Go buy yourselves a happy meal and all will be ok
