I tried to be positive after the reaction to the Forest defeat, but I have been sinking again. 4 sh*t results in a row is not a good look.

Manager doesn't seem to be improving the new players and the old ones look "lack lustre".

The players clearly look like they're on the beach already. Some of them probably already know their new clubs.

I trust TB, but if he did decide at some point to bin off his second choice FH, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

We've taken on the personality traits of our head coach.

As a fan, "Trust the process" is all too often.

Drab, predictable, boring, lightweight.

Hurzeler cannot put the ball in the back of the net, the players can and this is entirely on them. That was an absolutely shameful performance, absolutely embarrassing.
Quite so - we had plenty of chances (is that Fab's fault?), yet our individual finishing was shite.
Again, is that down to Fab or the actual players who can't hit the net?
I suggest it's the latter.

Who cares about XG anymore? We've had high XG vs the teams at the bottom of the table forever, doesn't mean anything when we never win
The act of scoring can be quite random. Their first goal came from a ball rebounding and putting someone clean through. It was lucky. XG demonstrates the quality of chances created. We created a load of chances that were very good. Had the tactics been EXACTLY the same but we scored some of the simple chances then Fab would not have caused anything different.

Twice now Minteh has missed far post chance by refusing to use his right foot. MOR has to score that header. Other finishes were also really poor. XG shows you are creating chances. The act of scoring can be weird.

In football you can batter a side but not win. Most famously that match palace when they touched the ball twice in our box. Both were wielding first touch finishes.

You look at the table and think fabs done an ok job. But I just wonder how an experienced manager would have done. Anyone , even someone like Moyes.

I think he's underachieved with this squad.

He will get another season. But if it's like this again he won't get another after that.

That's what's the most frustrating if we do end up bottling a golden chance and not making Europe.

The better players who may now be convinced, this is the time to leave (as they do want europe) and other potential signings with options, who also may prioritise European football.

I don't know what the solution is, but I'm also not the one being paid a princely sum to deliver it. FH is.

It's a consistent thing us vs the bottom sides. We would not take a single player out of their team to replace ours, our team is just flat out better and their manager has been coaching even less than ours!

We were all buzzing after the Chelsea win 3-0. We created far more today. We just finished like idiots. We created better chances today than forest did when they beat us 7-0. We created far more than when we beat spurs.

Freak result today.
Disagree with that. 2-2 is a completely normal result when we stop playing football both the times we take the lead.

If he continues this form into next season we will be relegated

You do realise Leicester haven’t scored for like ten games
So? We drew (not lost) simply because we didn't put multiple chances away. We didn't lose or draw to a better side. That's purely down to the players not scoring the opportunities they had. Shit happens, but we didn't lose....and there's still plenty of points to play for.
Who would have thought Forest would lose to Everton?

That doesn’t excuse the in game plan, Ayari stays on who is not up to it Matt O was probably our best player Minteh missed a few but was causing massive problems. Guy doesn’t understand football at this level. Outwitted by RvN twice.

Only one person from our squad should be in Europe next season and that should be Fabian. In the German second division or something
