My God we are lucky to still have our lead! Mendy is an absolute fucking calamity. It must be hilarious for the neutrals. He should be last choice for that position. I thought we might be able to make do at LB. We've got no chance based on Mendy's first few performances. Our other problems are...

The signs were there in the Wolves game. We were just fortunate that Wolves failed to finish the number of golden goal-scoring opportunities that they had. We could easily have lost that game. Let's not forget that the same issues were apparent all last season. We just collapsed completely...

My goodness, I think there is going to be a lot of disappointment come the end of the season. No doubt Pep will be the misplaced target of that frustration. I don't think our squad is as good as some people think it is. I have seen very little to suggest that Torres will be everything we need in...

I’m almost speechless. Trump was incoherent for 90% of whatever that was. Couldn’t bring himself to condemn white supremacy, which should be astonishing but is somehow not. You really have to be a special kind of stupid to be enthused by him.

Comedy.

Don’t think it is.

Ha ha. It must have been close...

I’d rather wait until next season to sign a quality LB than rush in another mediocre player before the deadline. I think we can make do with Cancello and Ake. Like others have said, the thing that we are lacking the most is some pace and energy in the centre of that midfield. The single biggest...

Dias is probably better than Otamendi, but I don’t think he is what we needed. We saw yesterday how Vardy played off Garcia because he knew that he had him beaten for pace. A partnership of Laporte and Dias is going to be highly vulnerable to counterattacks if we play a high line. We should be...

Kevin for me. He tried like he tries every game. Deserves much better from the team than this. Ake is probably the only other player that can be content with their performance. I assume the votes for Mendy are sarcastic...

A lot of things went against us, but you can’t put this all down to unfortunate circumstances. It is very clear that we struggle to defend with our high line against quick attackers. This is not the first time that Vardy has embarrassed us and I don’t think it will be the last. Not unless we...

Recruitment has been poor for a long time, particularly when it comes to defenders and defensive midfielders. I lost all confidence in our defensive recruitment years ago. We have been desperately crying out for some pace at the back, yet we go and sign one slow centre-back to replace another...

But did he though? I’d be inclined to agree if our defensive recruitment was good under Pellegrini or Mancini, but it wasn’t. The one constant through these three periods was the people above him. Our defensive recruitment has been comical since Hughes.

This does feel like a pivotal moment. One that can see us regress to being a top-four/six side or get back to challenging for the title year after year. Unfortunately, as of this moment, I feel we are slipping towards the former due to successive years of poor recruitment. We’re not bringing in...

You know that Leicester are not the only team that can exploit our weaknesses in that way, right? This result should not come as a surprise.

We needed this. It should be a massive wake up call. Lack of pace at the centre of defence continues to be our achilles heel. It’s only made worse by insufficient pace and energy at the CDM position and a brainless left-back. Dias won’t solve anything. A pair of Laporte and Dias is more...

Top four scrap here we come. Shocking recruitment for a third year in a row.

It’s a great shame we didn’t get this wake up call against Wolves rather than today. Might have affected our thinking with regards to defensive targets.

I’m not at all happy. I just saw this coming. Same problems and absolutely nothing done to address them. We desperately needed an athletic midfielder and a quick centre-back.
