Nightmare run of fixtures coming up

Absolutely expected today's performance - same against West Brom, Bournemouth etc. What worries me now is the fixtures coming up - they are horrendous and I expect little points return from -

Man United (H) no N'didi
Liverpool (A)
Huddersfield (H) - see today's game
Chelsea (A)
Everton (A)

Expect to be bottom half of the table come Jan and Puel will face the same problems as Shakey - not enough qualify in that defence.

What's important is that we all don't do a TB and just blame Puel for everything as Leicester fans have a tendency to do. I don't think we are a top 7 team yet - defence isn't good enough. Top 10 given our start would be good

I think Ndidi is banned for the Man City cup game, but anyway on today’s showing a few players need resting by the looks of it. Shame but like BS I thought this would happen, it’s the Leicester way!

Yes I meant to write a forward linking midfield and attack - apologies

Though Vardy was isolated and Gray poor today.

Bring back okazaki.

We’ll be fine without Ndidi BS - we’ve got our new signing Andy King...

In all seriousness, a bad day at the office. Poor defending as a team cost us again today. Personally, as you all know, I don’t see space for Gray and Mahrez against teams that can counter us. Palace did that today.

Frustrating but Puel has earned that with his results so far. Now we’ll see what he’s made of. Looking forward to finding out - genuinely. He’s full of surprises and I quite like that.

Every thing about today was bad.
Team selection,player performances,substitutions and of course Mr Atkinson.
Just don't know why , but we just didn't turn up.
Terrible day all round.

I thought Atkinson got most things right today, apart from the yellow for Simpson. He won the ball.

Atkinson had a great game for me.

My biggest concern is the Leicester fans turning on Puel the way the saints fans did. We are going to experience a very bad Christmas because we have a nightmare run and not enough quality

Fingers will be pointed at the manager once again and it will be back to square one if the owners do something really stupid

Cant blame the Ref this time Thorney if anything he missed a couple in our favor.
We where not at the races today i don't think playing Ozi from the start would of made any difference seven plus players out of sorts and you lose.

No complaints on Atkinson today. Probably the biggest decision he got wrong actually went in our favour, when Albrighton caught the player rather than the ball in the Leicester box near the end and got away with it. Bad day all round but hopefully CP will have learnt from what he saw and be able to apply the lessons. UTF

A little tongue in cheek over ref.
Subs were bit late though.

Even if we have a bad run I hope Claude gets the chance to put his ideas into practice.

It isn't just the defence that needs strengthening, the whole team needs to improve in playing with more possession. Are the players we have in midfield and up front capable of producing the necessary movement and accurate timely passing necessary to achieve that? Will Silva make a difference? Hopefully so but time will tell.

At least Claude has bought himself some time with a generally good start. Of some concern is that the owners have shown themselves quite capable of making poor decisions and being trigger happy with managers, so I hope we continue to progress towards the 40 point safety mark while the squad and team are being evolved.
