They look terrible. Couldn't believe it when they were 2-2. And that goalie is far from premier quality.

Defensively yes, they are shocking.

Players don't want to be there either. They remind me of us in 03/04.

Leicester have been walking a Jamie Vardy tightrope for years.

Defensively they are shite as well.

I always thought they'd get relegated once he retired. But he looks past his best now. Has he even scored this season?

Don't think so.

Guys 36 in a few months, cant go on forever and clearly his body is starting to give up on him.

Hence injuries last season and lack of minutes this.

So much depends on one player. But, yes, there defence is worse than ever. Terrible replacement of Kasper and Fofana

6-2

To think Leicester were on top at 3-2, two fantastic saves by Lloris from Maddison & Daka protected Spurs lead.

Indeed.

They have struggled without Vardy for ages.

There points per game without him was always borderline relegation level (can't remember the exact figure).

And as you say, Fofana and Kasper replacements aren't working.

Note to Radz. You can't keep selling your best players and expect to keep finding good replacements.

True but there is risk re reward with every player sale. Plan the development of the team and there can be continuity, that is the best you can do.
We knew KP and Raph were moving on months before they did and planned accordingly. Two out and three in to fit into Jesse's team shape.
That is about the best that you can do. But there are no guarantees, it is sport.

It seems Leicester are in that tricky place trying to hold back money for their promised Stadium expansion and could risk the whole project now due to not freshening up the squad.

But they have some bloody good players there and shouldn't be so reliant on Vardy.
I see they play Forest next.

0-0 to keep both managers in a job would be good.

Many a true word said in jest, we will no doubt give them a 2 goal start
