On what planet is a draw against a team 2 points off top spot a “huge set back”

Its a what could of been game

 

[Jadubsee]

Disappointed but a draw is a reasonable result against a good team and with our makeshift midfield.

Carlo at this point is clearly too stubborn to remove Pickford properly.

I honestly don't get why Ancelotti has an obsession with sitting back for an entire half. We did with with Fulham, we did it here. We were missing 2 first team players. TWO! And we played like we were against Pep's Barcelona.

Just a terrible performance in the second half. Really really poor.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Rubbish, well defended but apart that rubbish. Didn’t deserve the win, why let a team play like that against us for the whole game

Does my head in playing like this. Leicester ain’t that good.

 

[Leylo]

Pickford not good enough, let his defence down ,all they're hard work to be let down by knobhead

Something about that game was so so intense. In the end lucky to get a draw based on performance - but Pickford yet again to blame for points lost. Beat Newcastle on Saturday and it makes this result pretty good.

Pickford mistake aside, Carlo's plan would've worked tbf.

 

[jonnyboy316]

They are very good so not a bad point. Need our first choice Midfield back. Pickford needs dropping

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Good point that with both Allan and Doucoure out.

Think we were too negative to be honest because when we needed to go forward we looked like we had a goal in us.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Great point there as long as we beat Newcastle.

[blue to the bone]

A point is a point. We were poor. But all there pressure it was a goalie error cost us ultimately. We need now to beat Newcastle. Strange results and a strange season.
But we are still in the mix. But will need to play a lot better .

 

[okellypj]

Don't get why we were so negative for so long. Still we basically used last year's midfield and drew with one of the in form teams.
