Agree. No one in the team is really more to blame than anyone else for the goal. Everyone including all the non-Burns and non-Waltons are ball watching. As I see it the goal is mainly Tielemans & Iheanachos "fault".
Blame game No 28.

Considering both the Polish lads are young and have come from a lower standard league , I thought both played really well and showed they will be good additions to our squad .

Pretty much agree but would lift Lallana, Walton and Burn's marks but not by much

Walton - 6- Perhaps he should have clamed the cross for their goal but we had 8 players in the box they had 2 !!!
Karbownik - 7 - If he is mostly a LWB him and Lamptey would be a great combination
White - 7 - Another very good game. Always looking for a forward pass when he brings the ball out of defence.
Dunk - 7 - Back to his best form.
Burn - 5- Looked shaky at times and not up to his usual standard. Lost the scorer for their goal and almost gifted them one earlier when he had no idea where the ball was.
Alzate - 7 - The problem with being so versatile is that he gets put all over the place and doesn't really get a chance to make a position his own. Unless we play 6 in midfield or someone is not available he won't get to play CM much which is where he would be best in my opinion.
Gross - 7 - I thought he wouldn't get much game time this season but he has and has played really well.
Moder - 6 - Quiet but kept it simple and I don't remember him doing anything wrong.
Lallana - 7- A coach on the pitch! Plays some great passes but did make a real hash of his shot.
Tau - 6- Worked very hard and links up well. Needs to finish better. (Sounds familiar!)
Zeqiri - 7 - I thought that was the best he has played for us and deserves more game time. Finished his "goal" well.
Subs Not really worth scoring as nothing much from them.
GP 7 Rested some key players although White and Dunk need a break too. Impressed with the new lads and pleased he was brave enough to give them a start.
I thought the subs were a bit late and would have liked to see another striker on.

Overall, a good performance against a strong team.
First 10 minutes it looked like we’d be overrun, but then came back into it strongly. Not a surprise it took some settling in seeing as there were 2 debutants and another 3 with fewer than 10 (?) appearances between them..
Walton – 6. Not a great deal to do, generally tidy. Perhaps a keeper with more confidence would have organised (i.e. shouted at) everyone so they didn’t switch off for the goal. It could be argued that Dunk should have too and that they should all take individual responsibility for not switching off, so I don’t hold him solely responsible by any means
Karbownik – 7. Great debut. Pacy and direct – very promising indeed.
White – 7. Solid.
Dunk – 7. Just shades MOM as it was a better defensive display from the team than in attack. Between them, they limited a good side to very few clear-cut chances.
Burn – 5. Not his best game, but not terrible
Alzate – 6. Pretty average
Gross – 7. Did what he does. Found space for himself and others with smart runs and passes.
Moder – 6.5. I like the look of him – brings height to the midfield. Good debut
Lallana – 6.5. Better first half than 2nd. His influence showed when he tired & then went off
Tau – 5. Disappointing. Showed a lot of effort, didn’t seem on the same wavelength as his teammates. That should improve with game time, if he gets it.
Zeqiri – 7. Real signs of promise here and a great finish – such a shame it was disallowed

Agree, Leicester fans were moaning that he was running the game.

Giving Burn a 10 to counter some of the stupid scores above
3s and 4s on here are usually a clear sign of the negative bias the poster has against the player, not a reflection of the actual performance IMO........
Performance to get a 3 or 4 would need to be shockingly bad in my book, no-one was near that last night.

I thought the 6 was a little naive at times, but so was Burn so no harm done to his development.

- very nearly scored an own goal, with a clumsy uncontrolled shank off his knee.
- somehow lost the ball under his own feet, then passed it straight to an unmarked opposition player, to score the winner (before being reprieved by an earlier marginal offside)
You did ask.

Zequiri looks a real find,... lovely finish...
Both Polish lads look like they just need some minutes, but look steady in terms of potential.
Tau needs to play,.. you can see his distribution is decent, but the pace of ball and thought is off at the moment, that will cone with a two or three game run.

6 - average
Walton 5 - Had nothing to do all game, then his decision in the 94th minute, choosing not to step forward and collect a simple uncontested catch, cost us the game.
White 7 - decent showing. His pace rescued us at least once.
Dunk 7 - Lewis Dunk
Burn 4 - what a contrast to Liverpool. Asleep for the goal. Tried to score a clumsy OG. Gifted them another goal, fortunately ruled out for an earlier offside.
Karbo 7.5 - very promising debut. Looks ready to start. Which is good, considering the above.
Gross 6 - looked tired. very surprised he played the whole game. Doubt we'll see him on Saturday.
Lallana 7.5 - Class. Lallana off / Madison on, completely shifted the balance of the game.
Moder 6.5 - unspectacular, but solid. Looks a decent addition.
Alzate 7 - very gifted young man. Does a good job anywhere. Great composure.
Tau 5.5 - oh, how we all wish Percy was amazing. He's not. Shame
Zeqiri 6.5 - not ready, but now showing some genuine promise. Works hard, and put in a good shift even ending the game at left wing back.

Burn's "Rabona" assist for their disallowed goal was a thing of beauty. I was still laughing when the ball hit the back of the net. I know he almost had another comedy own goal as well but he was alright other than that. He wasn't a 3
Percy Tau was a 3 though.

Spot on. Without Lallana we lost all control of the game that we had before. And Maddison was brilliant when he came on, the way he kept the ball in tight spaces and moved it forward, creating space for himself and others was really impressive. He won them the game in the last few minutes driving them forward.
Together with switching off at the end, you've highlighted how his actions could have led to THREE goals conceded, in a tight game.
'Alright other than that' is a bit irrelevant.

I always give Burn credit when due, he was my MOTM verses Liverpool. But negative scores are not completely unfair here. At least 3 huge mistakes from memory. 1) Switched off for the disallowed goal, had no idea where the ball was and had a massive ricochet of his boot to set up the chance, luckily it was just offside. 2) First half he played a pass under no pressure across the back line (bread and butter for a CB) and it was over hit and between both Dunk and White. 3) For the goal he does switch off, as do the whole team, but you have to be aware of players around you.

The situation with Burn is similar to where we were with Maty Ryan a few months ago.
In every one of the situations for which he is being criticised you can offer a plausible defence, but taken all together it's impossible to ignore the feeling that they can't all be bad luck. Both great people to have around, and some undeniable good performances, but not quite with the consistency needed to get us to the next level
