Ahh FFS oh well..... 1 point it is..hmmmm.

That's such a disappointment! If we want to win the league we need to fight for these points!!!!!!!

I felt we coasted in too many patches of the game.. We need to kill games off quick.

Waaaayyyy too pedestrian all over the pitch. No movement, no clever through balls. Very poor.
Can't think of one player who played well tonight. And wtf is going on with Keita!?!?

Martin Atkinson should never officiate another premier league game. He single handedly has kept City in the title, what a f**king disgrace.

I'm sat here waiting for Keita to burst into life.. but he never does. He looks so good when he makes runs through the middle, but then he gets scared and loses the ball. He needs to learn to drop the shoulder because he's so predictable with his body shape which way he's going to go everytime.

Why? I didn't see the whole game. Stream kept dying on me

f*ck sakes, lads still think they're in Dubai or what?

Well we all knew that we were going to drop points sooner or later but I would have rather have had them dropped later. And definitely not at home.

Thank god City lost, I'd be losing my Sh*t if they'd come to just 2 points difference.

Was a clean cut penalty for the foul on Keita...allowed some nasty hacking down the forwards when clean thru largely go unpunished while allowing some clear offside to play on that could be fatal, but condition was also not perfect which affected the rhythm

We were just not sharp enough the whole game..Salah was very poor..Shaq as well..Thought Naby shifted gear just to be subbed harshly..Hendo was ok on the attacking side but was exposed defensively...Robbo wasn't himself on both sides of the park..The Abu Dhabi trip seems redundant..Missed chance but I'll take the point.

I don't think i saw one cross from Robertson all day...curious as that is his best attacking weapon

Awful match. But we didn't lose and we extend our lead at the top.

That said:

VVD didn't look right to me, still ill?

Henderson isn't a right back. How we didn't lose due to him be out of position I don't know.

We didn't play well enough to win that, in fact Leicester probably created the better opportunities. We need to get Gomez and Trent back into the team as soon as possible because we look a bit vulnerable on the counter. We need to get pace back into our backline like we had earlier in the season.
Not a great night and definitely an opportunity missed but at the end of the day we increased our lead over City so as bad days go this is far from the worst.

I get that you get some decisions and some go against you..

But we got NOTHING and 3 decisions went against us.

I said at the start of the month, the only thing that will cost us winning the title is officials.

After the first fifteen minutes and a really bright start Leicester started to cause us problems. We can use lots of excuses but we simply didn’t do enough and Leicester to give them credit made our lives very difficult. Robbo’s naive tackle that lead to a goal didn’t actually help either !! The tackle on Keita which a lot of the time would have been a penalty and Maguire could have been sent off but let’s not forget that Maddison missed an easy header and should have been given the ball when he was free on goal. The result for me was about right given that we didn’t have a great night.

In truth I didn’t expect us to increase our title chasing lead with City playing Newcastle.

We move on.

For a team that had 9 days gap, we just didnt play with enough energy. VVD doesn't look right. It worries me that alot of times when we had to chop and change personnel our performance drops quite abit. Foul on keita was definite penalty.
