How’s everyone feeling then? For me it’s like waking up with a massive hangover - i keep getting flashbacks of last night. Maddison on the left. Chilwell struggling. Vardy touching the ball 6 times in 45 mins. Mark Albrighton coming on when we need a goal (we actually looked a bit better at that point)
That was a pretty big reality check and a sign if anything that we are very much leasing a spot in the top 4 currently. Comprehensively outplayed by Liverpool and City after struggling against Norwich at home
It’s been a fantastic season but there are signs that things are beginning to turn and Brendan needs to get Leicester back to what has brought them success all season. For me he’s starting to needlessly mess about tactically, trying to be Benitez, trying to overthink things. The diamond against Villa paid off but ever since that point he’s started to look like Ranieri in 2016, whatever he tries doesn’t work
We have a pivotal two games coming up which will define our season. Vardy is unlikely to start against West Ham apparently and if Rodgers doesn’t get 3 points from the next 2 games - things will start looking very ominous for our top 4 chances.
Yes I’d have taken this position at the start of the season, anyone would, but we also need to remember that playing like we are, we are very much on borrowed time in terms of our european ambitions
The morning after

Has the Leicester hype train derailed?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not while we’re 10 points clear of top 4 it hasn’t. Have you even got a hype train?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No we've been shiiite this year. I guess recent results have shown you were never really good enough for a title challenge, but if you make top 4 it will be a very good season for you.

We all knew we weren’t in a title challenge, no Leicester fans were talking about that. Hoping to capitalise on an off season for you guys - I would say it’s an off season for Arsenal but then again

I can’t tell what an off season for Arsenal even looks like right now. Their squad inspires nothing.

I’d ask the sycophantic pundits who think Leicester are doing well by reverting to ‘What we did in 2015/16’ - to quote Dion Dublin).
Ultimately - it’s a train we aren’t on, but I’d happily see those pundits on it derailed.
