It would be nice if the manager would come out and show some emotion after yet another defeat instead of churning out the usual dirge with his normal clueless expression!
Finally someone prepared to spell out a few home truths. More than “learn lessons” Potter has ever done (except when attacking the fans).

Sounds like the manager isn't.
Can I just add, when up against superior opposition in the ascendency, successful teams puts two sitters in front of the CB’s.
I’ve watched and read analysis of winning teams such as Chelsea. That’s what they unashamedly do, making it bloody hard for the opposition score. Sacrificing something in attack to achieve that.
Second half the LCFC midfield could almost drive straight at Dunk.
Our set up was awful.
I disagree. Adam Lallana is a premier league winner, a champions league winner, a world club winner, a super cup winner. He's probably the only player in the team who could do that interview. The players won't be able to turn to him and ask what makes him think he has a right to criticise them, because he is the one of them that's got the bona fides. People have noted in the past how the manager can't come out and criticise his players because of their delicate egos. Sometimes when a manger takes that approach, he needs his senior players to come out and say something.

I thought Tielemens was superb throughout. He gave Gross and Veltman a difficult first half and was really Leicester's only threat. Second half produced a perfect through ball and took a good booking. Not sure why he wasnt MOM as he was way better than the rest of their team.

Ranking “Proper” ahead of Alzate would have got you strung up on NSC a few months ago ... [emoji23]

His poor pass that led to their first goal wasn’t good enough. Decent enough performance apart from that but such an unnecessary and costly mistake
Lallana is a winner
Potter is a loser.
I wonder if Lallana is doing his coaching badges.

And its also interesting to note the one thing Lallana brings up nearly every interview, mentality not ability, mentality.
Maybe we should be asking how many of our squad have the right mentality to play in the premier league?
Desire, determination and focus for 90min?
One week ago you called Lallana a fragile pensioner who makes no difference.

Lallana knew that. As the ball hit the back of the net, you could see him shouting out in despair. He knew he had put us on the back foot with a tired and weak pass. It affected him for the rest of the game. He visibly sagged. He knows we are mentally weak at the end of games. He knew we were hanging on. He knew he probably should have been substituted by then. He was already running on empty. He is a very experienced pro and knew we allowed that game to drift away from us last night.
His interview showed his frustration. At himself, at his manager and at some of his players. It was very revealing.
He still is, and last week he made no difference. Clearly doesn't work well as an impact sub in the same way he does as a key component to a side.
YOu'd have thought the management team would have someone on board who can help with that, oh, hang on . . .
Maybe it's actually more of a 'together' thing - in that they are all allowed (encouraged?) to express their views and feelings as individuals within the squad?

Lallana totally correct in his comments. Not only is he very talented, he is mentally a very strong player, and a winner, and at the moment, the players he’s playing with look fragile. They need toughening up and to be told the truth.
And Lallana is quite right. It is mentality. To keep clutching defeat or draws from the jaws of victory can’t always be bad luck, it’s mentality. We’re too fragile at times. Not strong enough to see the win through.
