We've got to be more direct now. Too much slow passing sideways and backwards

What happens when you bottle key games against more reasonable opposition. We shouldn't be needing to beat Leicester to keep in the race.....

Simply put, we ain't good enough.

Hard to see who the home team is, totally outplayed.

Leicester are everything we are not.
Quick, incisive and threatening up front.

Ah well. Still hope we pick some wins up and not embarrass ourselves but anyone remotely thinking of a great escape might be right, it'll be Sheffield if anyone.

Yeah, we have been outclassed in that first half. We look out of ideas. Leicester very comfortable shifting a cross whilst we pass sideways and backwards. We are going down I am sad to say.

I am so disappointed I have no words.

This game feels like Parker ball of old but in a different formation. I don't blame him as we do play nice football, but the complete lack of bite in final third is absolutely something Parkers tenure has been consistent on.

Its depressing to be honest.

No real shock that Leicester are better than us. What was a shock was that we beat them away. Let's just keep it the score respectable.

But this isn't even a decent Leicester side, we're just making a few of there very average players (Chowdry a prime example) look good. Its really, really poor.

Could this be Parkers last game as Fulham Manager.

Two nil down with no way back . Leicester are by far the better team. Or are we by far the worst team.

Yes. We are totally unbalanced up top compared to rest of the pitch. It's been like this since season start and it's so boring now. Why BDR is not starting is beyond me. RLC offers diddly squat as does Lookman tonight who imo has got progressively worse as season has gone on. It's a shame really because at one point we looked like we could actually compete in this division.

No combination now from Robinson with Lookman and RLC really is just a passenger

Choudhury and the absence of Vardy are the only real weaknesses I can see. I would kill to have some of their players.

They have like 6 injuries! But agreed, I'd take a large section of their squad, but I bet they'd take a handful of ours too.

I think Leicester would take from the following from our squad. Andersen, Lookman, Anguissa, Areola, Robinson and maybe Lemina. Positions they'e had injuries in and would need currently.
