As soon as Lallana came on that was it for me.  Dosen't offer anything anymore.

Yeah, the injuries have taken their toll. He shouldn’t play for us again. Keita should have stayed on. 

[halewood pete]

Crap on the night,but extended our lead over city.not all doom and gloom

[Daisy]

Don't think there is much point getting wound up from here on out. The players look like bottling it

[A_S]

Not ideal, but could've been worse. How about Liverpool only getting decisions their way though, eh? And Jim Beglin should be barred from Liverpool games, he's fucking atrocious. 

[KevieG]

First time this season that it looked like the pressure got to them.

 

Atkinson is bent.

[Strontium]

Players looked tired tonight, having no squad is going to hurt us.

Fabinho is one of our main men now. Looking forward to seeing him against West Ham. 

Completely agree. He's our most composed midfielder by a wide margin and doesn't tend to shit it when played elsewhere either. Needs to be starting more often than not.

Such a brilliant idea letting Clyne go on loan. If we don't do it, things like that will be the reason why. 

 

Ultimately though we could have lost that. They had plenty of chances. Ref is a pure cunt.

 

Hate to say it but the nerves have 100% set in. Last 2 games now have been poor. Please don't let a rot set in. 

Fortunately it had very little to do with that. Hendo did well I thought.

I’ve about given up on Keita

I want him to succeed, but he's just not showing any confidence, and his decision making is often poor.

[Pidge]

It was a pen and Mane was onside.  That said, pretty poor.  Felt Shaqiri was rightly hooked.  Team just got into far too casual a rhythm in the first half and there wasn't any real fire to go win the game.

I think he's our Juan Sebastien Veron

[Guest]

As the old saying goes...any hole's a goal. We opened a bigger lead.

the fans in the stadium arent helping matters here in my opinion.

 

The nervousness is creeping into the players performances. 

 

We nearly seem too desperate to win this league. 

 

If this was 1-1 in a European game, that crowd would be as loud as anything, but here you can hear a pin drop. 

People need to get a fucking grip!

I swear these fucking warm winter camps fuck us up every year 

Yes should train in siberia and stop experimenting with Keita, there is still something wrong with our midfield. But we got one point closer to the big trophy, not that bad.

fucking hell.  If Trent has played like that he'd be getting slaughtered on here tonight.

You're kidding right? He's got fleeced more times I could remember. All of Leicester's chances came from his side?

This sums it up pretty well. Unfortunately on the pen he didn't go down quickly enough - by getting even a scuffed shot away he gave Atkinson an excuse to say no. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

At about 7 o'clock yesterday, I'd have expected the points difference tonight to be 4 points. 

 

It's not. It's 5. 

 

On to the next one...

Result

[TheDrowningMan]

No-one can seriously argue that Henderson is a better option at RB than Clyne. To do so is simply counter-factual to the point of being Trumpian. I think City remain overwhelming favourites to win the league at this point - a much better squad and the experience of winning titles goes a long way.

Seriously?! They've just had a holiday in the sun!

[Dr Nowt]

Trying to read between the lines to work out if the BT commentary team thought England’s Harry Maguire had a good game or not.

He did in fairness. But that left us short of options in midfield. If we still had Clyne, Keita wouldn't have started and Lallana wouldn't have come on. We'd have been massively better for it.

I'm with aRdja on this one - a couple of great balls into their box in the first half and given he was  out of position I thought he was the least of our problems. 

[Elite]

We don't look like we're handling the pressure very well which is very worrying. Leicester are probably the trickiest fixture outside of the top 6 but tonight was the chance to establish our dominance and really dent City's hopes but we bottled it.

 

Shaqiri is an an impact player and should not be a regular starter.

 

Keita is fucking wank, i've thought it for weeks and hoped he'd adapt but he's not going to, if we can swap him for Werner in the summer we really need to.
