Doesn't help matters when the other team get the ball back after every goal you score.

But we didn't have Vardy or Ayoze or Barnes or Chilwell or Maddison.

And I forgot to mention, Leicester played with two strikers and it didn't seem to affect the balance of the team.

The same Barnes who 'nearly' came on loan to us (like James too). Never mind at least we got the deals on Baker and Brown done.

We had bamford Hernandez Roberts klich abd riife, we played 2 up top for half the match.

One minute dabs saying all this possession we should score goals now fans making an argument for why with all this possession v 10 men we shouldn’t score goals!!!!

Have you ever just enjoyed something without turning into a reason to be negative? Ever?

This was the biggest away win in the history of top flight football. Not really a fair target.

Or have you just realised that sides are capable of beating others comfortably. Because that’s not news.

Youre like a vampire that just sucks the joy out of anything.

How on earth you interpret:

"What 73% possession can get you"

the way you have, is beyond me.

Just be honest about what you are saying.

Look at your comments.

Are you denying that this is about Leeds not being good enough?

It's about what 73% possession can get you.

It's not saying we should get that.

It's not saying we're bad because we don't get that.

It's saying what you can get with that.

The only one going on about negativity here is yourself.

You’re good at twisting things round on other people Jonty I’ll give you that........you know full well you were being negative

I think it's a fair enough point, in this instance Leicester managed to score nine goals, they dominated the game like we do week in week out yet we are struggling to score despite having the best manager in the country.
We pretty much know how most games will pan out and it's damn frustrating.
Jonty is right to flag up our deficiencies.

best manager in the country

You having a laugh.

Maybe not the best manager in the country but certainly one who is seen as one of the best coaches by the best managers in the country.

We also know what 73% possession looks like and know that occasionally it produces freak results like last night. However 99% of the time, when teams go down to ten men, they tend to frustrate the opposition.

That’s what teams look to do v us. Defend, frustrate and hit on the break.

That rhymes

Very good 😀

Are Leicester the only team in the Premiership that have had 73% of play against 10?..

If they are than great for them, if not than it shows how poor the Premiership is!..

Mind, against 10 it does play an advantage, but it could also be argued how often have we had 10 and why we've never been beaten 9v0?..

And seeing things that way than everybody having 73% of play should be hitting 6 or 7 every game!..
