It's fine to vent frustration on here, as long as it's balanced when we're are doing well.
The we are xth in the table can only be called out so many times. Yeah it's looks good, we had terrible times (was part of that too), but it's OK to be p*ssed off that we've again thrown points away.
Terrible times are behind us, we look forward, its difficult as a fan not seeing us get over the line in these games. We know we are better than this.
That's on Fab today, going negative allowed the pressure, and that's something we can't deal with this season. We need to learn an approach to be more resilient and see out games. 🙏

A player fresh on will have had tactical instructions.

Good coaching would instruct players to not take unnecessary risk in dangerous positions when the game is in the balance with minutes remaining.

Very poor game management.
So you actually think he was told to dribble and try to beat players outside his penalty area.?Think you might be a bit biased.
Who do you want as coach?

We were poor defensively last season but we looked much better at playing the ball out under RDZs system. We don’t seem to be able to cope with an aggressive press anymore. And all that money on players and barely any reinforcements at the back.

Why do we f*** about with it at the back when 2-0 up with 10 minutes left? The ball should be out of our half, simple as that. The opposition can't score from there.

Vardy had f*** all space all game until we had three CB's
I said this after we gave away two soft goals against Southampton.
Stop faffing about from the back when we need to clear our lines.

It's literally the worst way to not get a result. I can take it on the chin when the other team were just better. But this lack of application, plan and focus is unacceptable at any level of professional football. Need to sort out where this rot comes from asap.

Read it again.

I wrote that good coaching would be to instruct Igor NOT to take unnecessary risks.

Professional footballers should be intelligent enough to realise how risky dribbling the ball like that on the edge of their area would be.

Of course, maybe he didn’t receive tactical instructions when brought on? Worrying if true.

I wouldn’t say “bottled it” but we clearly struggle with seeing out games.
Meanwhile playing out from the back all the time isn‘t high risk high rewards. It’s high risk, low/medium rewards.
Any fool can see our defenders/keeper can’t handle it well enough when pressurised in position.
We are gifting free opportunities every game these days.
Just left stadium. Thoroughly pissed off. It was so one sided it was laughable. Other than a single shot in first half they never threatened.

Ferguson was a waste of space imho, he's nearer the new Aaron Connolly than new Alan Shearer.

Wtf was Igor doing? It's unforgivable after the score on 87, to try and run/dribble across the box. Teams are not earning goals and points, we're gifting with our stupidity.

You work so hard to get in that position then f*** it up by over playing.

Only positive is Wieffer was good for his half.

We've got no chance at Europe repeating the same amateur hour mistakes.

I've slated him a lot on here, but Wieffer looked good. One of the few 'positives from today'.

Yep. Dunk smashed one in stands which is needed.

Igor should've launched it into corner with our fans let Minteh chase it down and Leicester build from there. Instead he thought he was Rivaldo and we threw away 2 points

That's what hurts so much isn't it. We do the business, working so hard, score great goals yet GIFT the opposition goals and points.

Not sure how you're measuring it, but we've had 12 leads this season which we've converted into 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.

That "loss" of 14 points from winning positions is the best/worst in the Premier League, tied with Brentford.
Ipswich, Wolves Southampton and Leicester 2 points each was my simple calculation.
