I am, i thought we'd give them a pasting today, they are brick.
Sadly we are very predictable - and lack any pace upfront.

We hit the bar twice which are fine margins and the difference between a solid 3-1 and a poor 1 all!!!
I don't know the answer but the players behind the striker need to pull their finger out ASAP
hitting the woodwork is still missing the target, I felt both attempts could have been better
completely agree on the second point, Son and Eriksen were far too deep today
Torpid is the new turgid.Indeed. Like a blimp stuck in a revolving door. Torpid and flaccid, as well.
I didn't see the game, was at work. How did we play?
Phucking terrible result, probably the first result I'm properly gutted with this season. Leicester have been battered by everyone away from home in the league. To mount a title challenge, we need to win most of our home games and dropping points against a side struggling away from home is really poor.
A key run of games coming up. We have a chance to make a mark, or we can watch the wheels come off. We need Harry back asap -- we defend well, but we need a player who can finish and who can win a match for us. Harry is the talisman.
Allis shot was first time and after a defection so was top drawer IMO
Didn't really see the header from my end
First half was played on the edge of their box, I genuinely don't think Hugo touched the ball with his hands, should have scored a few more and possibly had another penalty.
Second half we gave them a goal within 2 mins then spent the next half an hour playing passes across their box although in truth we didn't create much.
The last 10 they had a bit of poession in our half and a couple of high balls into the box were badly dealt with by our CB's.
A very frustrating afternoon.
Very nice of you to say. I won't feel bad as I can take him to loads now.Better late than never. That's not a criticism btw. I used to go with my Dad when I was young, until I was old enough to go on my own. Then I had a good number of years where I drifted away from going at all, due to finances mainly. By the time I started going again,my dad had moved away from London, was not very mobile nor in great health, so I never thought it would work out to take him. But it could have been done had I put my mind to it. He passed away a couple of years ago, and I really wish I had made more of an effort to get him back to the Lane.
So don't regret not having taken him before now, just enjoy the day with him.
And if we win, well, he'll be your lucky omen!
City, goons and now Liverpool all win, all scoring goals for fun. What a sh1t day of football.
But they get players forward and attack the box and ball
It's simple with good players and we have them
We do lack dribblers though. City have several players who can carry the ball at speed and go past people, Arsenal and Liverpool have a few too. For me, that's the big difference between our respective attacks.

Houston - we have a problem! Our back up players aren't good enough.
I exempt VJ from this as it is still too early to make a judgement. However, if you compare our rivals (especially Liverpool as was amply demonstrated on Tuesday) their back ups are far superior to ours. We got rid of Chadli, Pritchard, Bentaleb and Townsend. Are any of their replacements better? We needed some star quality in key positions. Have we got it - either in our purchases or our youngsters? Where is the pace? Where is the guile? Where are understudies for Dembele, Eriksen and Lamela?
I don't know what happened to our strategy in the buying department, but I can't begin to fathom the Sissoko purchase.
This is a team that will finish 3rd at best, and i'd bite your hand off if you offered me this now. When your top striker is out, it's up the rest of them to find goals and this lot have floundered against 3 mid to lower league teams who between them have conceded 44 goals this season. Janssen is more van Hooijdonk than van Nistelrooy.
