No Fofana was doing exactly the same

Kids today 🙄

3 defeats in 4 now, slide started already?

No comment.

Good but comfortable save from keeper

Will she how they do at weekend at Sheffield at least its an away game 🙄

claude puel tactics tonight. 2 defensive midfielders playing against a team derby co would not lose to.

Very few positives tonight; structured return of both Ricardo and Ndidi and the bright showing from Thomas probably the only things to enthuse about.
We got what we deserved tonight. Barnes with his worst game for ages and Iheanacho proving why we need something else when Vardy doesn't play. No threat in the opposition box from corners (been the same all season). Maddison's corners rarely get past the first defender.
All goes to show just how important Tielemans has become.
On the down side, Fofana needs to learn awareness of what's going on around him but he's still young and inexperienced and will improve significantly. Fuchs is no centre back!
Real shame for Soyuncu.

True enough True Blue. I should have included him as a positive.

It’s hard to point to any individual who had a bad game, it was more the coordination between everyone. Nobody could read what their teammates were going to do and everything was disjointed.

Hey Dubs and all. Sorry for missing the game and thread last night, looks like that was a good thing.

Thanks to Warwick for summarising the game - saves me having to ask. Sounds like Fulham where when we don’t start well and create problems for the opposition we just seem to stroll through games and can’t snap out of it. We really need a result at the weekend as our players seem to be ‘confidence’ players.

And to Dubs, I’m so sorry about Tara. It made me emotional reading about your loss. Having lost our dog 3 years ago we’re still not ready to go again. The hurt and grief is very hard. They are beautiful souls and you clearly found a special dog. I hope with time you find your next Tara. Thinking of you mate.

Thank you Mersey

So hopefully Soyuncu wasn't as bad a first feared but Ricardo was subbed at half time after a 'minor issue' he was due to play at least half way through the second half and won't feature against Sheff Utd at the weekend.

With hindsight and Rodgers blaming the playing conditions, it possibly wan't the right game to blood them back in?

The temperature certainly would have been helpful
