Four things that leap out to me:
1. Refereeing. The new refereeing tactics have ruined Morgan and Huth's game, and adversely affected our ability to defend properly.
2. Danny Simpson. We've still got him and we needed a better RB.
3. Not trusting enough in Claudio. Look at what he has done, a winner at every level of the game, everywhere he's been. I believe in him and I hope most other fans still do.
4. Media snarking. The pundits, big teams, TV operators etc like Leicester doing well as a one off novelty, they don't want it to happen again due to the money the "big" teams generate from abroad. So they magnify any issues with our club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Huth
1) A quality defender is able to defend without using his arms etc. Its the same for all defenders in the PL and to be honest our defence have been the better performing part of the team all season so blaming the refereeing is rubbish.
2) Danny Simpson - Get over it. Simpson is better than Hernandez and is the best RB we have had at the club in many a year. He has been consistent this season and for me would be one of the first names on the team sheet.
3) I believe that all the fans DO believe in Claudio.
4) Media Snarking - really? The media will report any story with their own spin on it, last season it was Chelsea dismal showing and our amazing season and now this season its how close the chase for the PL title will be this season AND our PL performances compared to our CL performances.
As for the money the big teams bring in from abroad, I think you will find that the viewing figures and newspaper sales were higher last season due to the interest generated by our title run in so if money talks ( as you imply) then surely its in their interest for it to happen again.
Apart from that I agree with your points.
It was a poor performance, it's disappointing but it happens.
The players aren't robots and we can't expect the same level of performance as last season so let's not over react here.

I dont think any of us are expecting the same level of performance as last season apart from Huth and Silent Arro, who will both think we are going to make the Top 4.
What we can expect is our team to play to its strengths and for all of the players to look like they are putting in 100% on the pitch for our club.
At the start of the season their was a distinct lack of effort from the players, hangover from winning the league ? I dont know....
But this was addressed and we started to look like the LCFC of old and thats all we as supporters want to see, players sweating and putting their bodies on the line for our club.
But we have under performed more often than not this season, and going into the International Break its the ideal time too assess where we are at as a team and how we move forward.
As for over reacting, I would say if people were calling for CR to go, there were boo's or protests after games etc then that would be over reacting. But on here we are just voicing frustration that we have players that can perform a lot better, but due to rotation, CL diversion etc we havent got a steady run of results or a settled team.
And my opinion was and still is that if we resort to what we know worked and give it a crack then we might be better off, we arent going to be any worse off than Sunday lets be fair.....
I agree that we need to revert back to last season's team but a few below par performances are par for the course, it's going to happen.
We were spoilt by a level of consistency that isn't sustainable and now our performances are going to be a bit mixed, the same as every other team. We've been poor and brilliant this season not all poor.
If we continue to play like that then I'll really start to worry.

What a load of crap. You mean penalising fouls, doing their job?
