Prediction League - Leicester City

Hate to criticise the man but I think Lopetegui got his subs terribly wrong today.

Taking off Costa (and wasn't he pissed off about it) lost our focal point and we owned that midfield in the first half with Lemina and Gomes bossing it . Was Lemina injured? If not it ain't broke, don't need fixing.

Poor result against a side in freefall but worse, a Dean Smith side.

Lemina was injured, according to the BBC website.

As for the Costa decision, I applaud his spirit but I’m not sure he’s got 90 mins in him any more?

Once again the curse of Leicester strikes, I think it was something like 2007 when we last beat them. We started well, playing some neat football and an early goal was needed. it duly arrived and we were well on top.

Then it all changed, poor defensive work let Vardy through and Sa in his attempt to shepherd him away from goal seemed to slip and tread on the strikers ankle. Our keeper was slated in the media for this but i felt he was unlucky and certainly kept us in the game with several crucial saves. An slight injury to Lemina saw a change at half time with Ruben coming on and was soon involved in the play.

Leicester had grown in confidence and took a well earned lead before Neves twice came close from free kicks. Once again VAR did not help us out when there was a clear hand ball by Wout Faes that went unpunished.

With the other results over the weekend our loss was not a total disaster, but a win on Tuesday has now become a must to see us safe.
