Saw we could get something and took a gamble making the early sub, it should have paid off far earlier than it did but that’s more down to bad finishing
 
Clueless! Played Allan (slow), Delph (mmm, what does he do) and Iwobi (sometimes runs around a lot and sometimes doesn't, but does nowt else) in midfiled. Did he seriously think we could control the game with that set up? I know that he hasn't got much choice but at least Doucoure has a bit of nuicase value. He also appears to belive the hype about Gordon. He's just not good enough and if we keep playing him, we'll go down! PS - bet he's not playing in the Premier League in 23/24

Name the starting XI you’d have picked tonight.

Iwobi was one of our best players tonight
 

Couldn't fo anything differently, I was happy with the team he picked, he can't play for them now .
I would brink Duke in for Gray on Sunday and try and battle to a win.
He could have done though.

You can't replace DCL with Richarlison up top and then compound it by having Gray in there

Gray is atrocious atm. Absolute liability defensively and Leicester just had the freedom of the park because Gray was staying so wide that Iwobi was pushing up and that left Allan and Delph covering 60 yards of space.

The set up was really, really poor. We were unfortunate to miss two good chances but the fact he then changed it to something even more bizarre was equally as worrying.

I've defended FL a lot because I don't put much of the issues down to him but today he got it wrong. Thankfully we got something from the game in the end.
 
Gambled with his subs but they paid off, when Alli came on with Iwobi dropping deeper I feared we were going to get pummelled to be honest. Leicester will be kicking themselves they didn't go for the second but that final spell 10 mins plus injury time where we were all over them doesn't happen if he hadn't made those changes.

The above said, he left Gray on for far too long. Kid was so lazy tonight that at times it was like playing with 10 men, I was spitting mad! Needs to have been hammered by the coaches and his team-mates in the dressing room afterwards.

Certain players have definitely improved under Frank and he's been unlucky with injuries (story of the season) but his game-management can be rather poor. Still willing give him lots of time, hopefully this relegation battle is helping him learn vital lessons for the future.
