TB - If we lump the ball we still concede it. Playing out sensibly was the order of the day, and nobody else was playing the silly risks that Schmeichel was. The pass to Aguero was part scuffed, part telegraphed and - importantly - he himself has to read the situation better than that.

But this was one day and he doesn't usually make such mistakes to concede goals.

I completely agree, no hiding place for Kasper BUT he would normally pump those balls up field, better to concede it up there than giving it straight to the Opposition in your own end, so it can only be tactics that made him pass out all game and on numerous occasions put us in trouble.

Shame Puel didn't change that tactic instead of conceding the game with his tactical changes and substitutions.

apology to all,had a little wobble and needed the para medics

Going to 4 at the back whilst it seemed to work with Albrighton covering Didn't work when Simpson was on,

Then to weaken the midfield with silva off and require Albrighton to cover it may be ok in training but not against a top side.

Chilwell again age experience let him down
Diabate age experience lack of energy let him down
But too have to play them for 90 minutes against man city is a bit rough.
Kasper pass to aguire was duff he didn't see him in his peripheral vision and he should have launched it
But 3 of the goals
No one was going to stop

Bad day all around for to many people today

We missed oki
And we badly need another midfielder who can tackle!

"Diabate age experience lack of energy let him down"

I thought he had a good game especially considering the opposition, he will turn out to be fantastic in the future if he continues to settle and improve the way he is.

Yes Im not knocking
Diabate or chilwell
But against the top clubs chilwell has constantly come up short overall
His lack of experience really
And diabate seems to disappear after 30 minutes
May be hes not use to full games and definitely not at
This level it has to be mentality draining
As I say age and experience

Chilwell is very similar to Gray, all expectation but little end product, maybe he'll improve or maybe he won't.

Diabate is an exciting prospect, the only one we have apart from Silva at the moment.

Strange that Iborra is nowhere to be seen while wooden James gets a whole game?

Obviously a back room deal done for Mahrez, I'd be might p!ssed if I was a sub not used or didn't get a place on the bench.

Still, it's Football, they're all Liars, Cheats, Hypocrites and Prima Donna's but as long as they're ours we love them.

I had to sit and watch the game on tv in Spain with a load of Man City fans - a delight,

Haha I’m sure it was mate. Sure the Vardy equalizer gave you a few minutes of joy with them though at least

Puel says the scoreline was harsh and flattered Man City.
