Taking Lunny who was playing very well and Burke who looked a threat whenever we stopped lumping it for

Norwood who was dogshit from minute 1 and Brewster who made no impact whatsoever do to aforementioned lumping the ball up top.

I know it doesn't make up for Flecks error but we looked dangerous up until Norwood came on
 



I watched Norwood very closely and he had a reyt mare. Looked out of his depth and that fairy challenge on Iheanacho on edge of our box summed him up.

Also, anyone seen the real John Fleck?
 
Think no subbing Fleck cost us .
Was all down to his mistake nothing to do with the subs

Yeah if we're talking about that specific instance. How about the second Norwood comes on we have a dangerous free kick and he chips it to the keeper. Or he misplace 4 of his first 5 passes and gives 3 fouls away.

Agreed Norwood was bad and it's been a common theme this season.

God knows why we don't just play Berge in his preferred position with lunny on the right of him
 
Agree that bringing Norwood on was very strange. To be fair, Brewster didn’t really have enough time to make an impact.
 
Think we should play Ampadu at holding midfield and stick with him. Neither Norwood or Berge have been any good there.
 
I really dont understand why he brung norwood on instead of mcgoldrick

Our crossing throughout the game wavered between extremely bad and fucking awful

One good corner apart

Osborn was a must - Lowe was 1 badly timed tackle away from being sent off. Osborn played well when he came on.

Burke was bollocksed - correct decision.

Could have subbed any of the 3 midfielders for Norwood today. Neither were particularly good & Norwood wasn’t any better.

The substitutions didn’t cost us the game - 1 defensive lapse & Jamie Vardy getting a run at goal did.
 
You say Burke looked a threat.
Not exactly sure what he was threatening. He runs fast, once he decides to set off. He cannot control a ball, tackle or shoot.
He should have gone off at half time. Even a 34 year old Billy Sharp offers much more.

It would have stopped Fleck error if he'd been taken off instead?
 
I think it was more the fact that we had none of the ball, created no chances and generally just waited for Leicester to score that cost us. Not the subs.

There was only going to be one winner today.

Except we did create chances.... And scored one.

Leicester going to always have more of the ball but we were 100% in that game.
 
We looked a threat? sorry but we created fuck all just sat back and hoofed it
 
All 3 of the players who were taken off were the right decision in my opinion and Wilder would have been hailed a genius if Brewster’s lob had come off but the decision to bring Norwood on baffled me. We needed energy and control and he has neither this season. I’m not McGoldricks biggest fan at times but I would still have brought him on over Norwood.

We scored from a set piece that Leicester are bad at defending this season. How many other times did their keeper have to work?

The little possession we did have we either gave it away or hoofed it forward.

There were some positives but let’s be fair, they could’ve been leading at half time and comfortably. Would we have been different second half if so? I doubt it.

I didn’t think we’d get anything today so it’s not really a shock, but we look so horrendously out of our depth at the moment that championship football is looking like a blessing.

Blame who you like but the fact is we’re simply not good enough, and haven’t been for a while.
 
Burke was poor. Lost possession every time he had it. I think his legs are too quick for his brain.
 
Burke also puzzles me with his timing when jumping for headers. Always seems to be landing not leaping when the balls arrives. Not even close to connecting!
