I think our defence has been correctly highlighted as an issue for weeks now. Theres no shame in that, they're still a very young prem team, but at the moment we are too open at the back and it does need to be addressed.
We don't want to rely on having to come back each week.
Oh and Arsenal have just scored again
But....having said that we've had a fantastic start, we now need to go again against Norwich. And stop conceding goals if we can...
Ok. The defeat is not an issue. It's how we come back from it and our performance against Norwich next week. COME ON LEICESTER
Absolutely
We've had a wonderful start. A defeat was always likely today but certainly not the end of the world.
We will win more than we lose this season. We are exciting to watch. Tap hats for sure.
3 winnable games coming up now.
Bring me on
Agreed Schlupp....this will be Ranieris first test as Leicester manager in my view.
I really can't believe that he didn't do something about the defence at half time, was his plan to outscore them or something?
They were always going to score more. I'm getting pretty sick of 4-4-2 now, it's alright against lesser opposition but Arsenal have been quality today and we've gifted them space to cut us open time and again.
When will he realise that this back five is never going to keep a clean sheet?
Good little cameo from Krammy.
BS RDL stopped us losing by more covering for others mistakes at least 5-6 key tackles and one off the line. Flappy bird in goal has had a poor game. not brave enough.
Norwich winning again at west spam. That will be a tough game against them.....mind you they are all tough aren't they
Conceding 5 at home is never ideal, even if it is against Arsenal.
If it hadnt have been for Vardy it would have gone down as a hammering.
We've had a great start but as I've been saying since we let 2 in against Sunderland, Ranieri has to do something about the defence.
We cannot keep relying on scoring 2-3 goals every single game!
But before Miami gets upset.......thats constructive criticism. I'm not expecting us to beat the likes of Arsenal, just be defensively better.
RDL was generally poor for me. He put in some good tackles and cleared one off the line but positionally was abysmal and was completely at fault for leaving Sanchez unmarked in the box for the second goal.
Schlupp proved once again that he shouldn't be anywhere near a LB role - we need to utilise his pace on the wing

BS second goal no your wrong and what about kasper poor punch attempt
Watch the tapes from the last 10 games at the end of last season again CR- Talking about tightening up in defence before the game today.Make f-ing changes and not requests!!!!
Nev - No i'm not
Agreed on Kasper
Good game. Second half we were the better team, but first half could have seen your lot ahead.
Big 3 points for us, you should take a few points off the 'big clubs'
Midfield need to take some blame how many times today did Kante give the ball away causing the defence problems
Let the tinkering begin..
