Last half hour a disgrace

Did anyone else think Mendy was awful?

Great minds TIM

Celtic fan in peace. My other half is from Leicester, so can totally sympathise with whatever the feck has happened to your team this season.

Enjoy Seville though, whatever the result. Was there for a week's hols a few years back. Great place. Big Irish bar in the square by the cathedral would be a good base ... if it's still there!

Cañas and tapas around the city centre is about as good as life gets.

I don't really want Mendy or Musa anywhere near our first team.

Thought our starting CBs looked decent, particularly Benalouane with some of his passing (I know he was part of the mess for the goal)

I thought Mendy was by some distance the worst player on the pitch for either side KTF. All he did was put his teammates under pressure with poor short passes and give the ball away in the middle of the park with poor long passes.

I wouldn't want to totally write off a guy who was so highly rated back in France just yet, but I've got to be honest at the moment I'm struggling to really understand what he contributes and frankly what the point of him is in terms of the wider team performance.

No idea what Mendy is supposed to offer, he literally does nothing. Can't pass, can't tackle. Musa had the worst first touch I've ever seen from a professional football, pure speed merchant. Both can fack off after were relegated to The Championship.

The shame with Musa and Mendy is that they have both proven themselves at top level. Look what Ranieri has done to them

That can't be right, I'm sure someone recently said he's the best passer in Europe??

Mendy and Musa are not awful players. They have become awful since joining Leicester. If the club sells them, they will regain their confidence and be able to hit the levels before we got hold of them

I don't think they are awful players but I also don't think Ranieri has made them awful. Mendy has been played in his position, bloody Musa has been played in a range of positions and still have both been average. I don't really care where else they have been good, they aren't 'yet' up to scratch but it is incredibly hard for a lot of players to come and play in the Premier league and it often a big step up or very different (I'm giving both the benefit of the doubt that today against lower opposition, their performances were just as a consequence of their struggles all season)

To try to be positive to them, I would say the rest of their season now should be about getting up to speed on the training pitch and really hitting the gym hard. I think both should consider themselves lucky to be making the bench now on in.

If we play our strongest team or potential strongest team I think we win that game - Millwall were awful. But that isn't the point, I don't mind us playing a reserve team and losing in the cup because we are prioritising the ECL or PL, but we haven't got the friggin' luxury to be resting a first team because it needs changing and we could have had game time trying out some of these !!!

I am just so deflated that exactly what I thought would happen has happened and we are left simply thinking 'what was the point in that? How has it helped prepare us for Liverpool?'

And I genuinely worry the players are staring to think it as well.

I wonder when it gets to the point where even if we do manage to turn it around and avoid relegation, it a) won't be enough to avoid damage to morale b) won't be enough for anyone to look back and not still think, what a waste of an opportunity to at least try to build on something.
