so that wasn't again a performance we sought. the final third problems continue and defensive frailties continue to exist. but Jamie Vardy take a bow, i thought that's it he has run out of steam and the purple patch is over but he comes back again. what a story! wishing him and Leicester all the good luck for this season. Well done and much deserved.

{Ed001's Note - he was excellent fair play, suited perfectly to the way they play.}

Ed, I wish we find such a striker that suits our system like Vardy suits Leicester's in the coming summer window. Actually i believe Danny Ings could just be the guy. He has similar capability like Vardy and similar kind of attitude. Hope he gets fit soon and a has perfect pre- season.

{Ed001's Note - and Sturridge, but again injured. Origi was showing signs of growing into the position before he too got injured.}

Origi, yes Ed, but i think he is still young, he will come good in time, he can defo score 10-15 goals a season. Sorry Ed but i have lost faith in Sturridge. i think his issues are different. and he isn't ever going to give us a complete season. He is LFC's fans joy when he is fit. the kind of striker that will score when he plays but he is really struggling with his fitness. that scars you mentally too. takes away your freedom to give 100 % on the pitch in training and matches, i believe.

{Ed001's Note - he has plenty of time yet.}

Great goal by vardy. We need to improve in all areas but just suck it up at the moment . It's the cups for us I feel .

It was a great strike by Vardy, however our defending for both goals were complete rubbish. The first one Lovren allowed too much room for Vardy to strike in the first instance. There was an opportunity for Lovren to challenge for the ball but decided to back off. Vardys interview after the game explained how he had seen Mignolet off his line all game! Not sure you can blame Mig for that with the defenders he has in front of him. As for the second, Sakho yet again allowed the ball to bounce and then Moreno (who had yet another dreadful game) stuck out a pathetic leg to block the shot which then defelected into Vardys path. Hopefully it won't be long until Flanagan is in the starting in that back four to tighten up things, and then the arrival of Coutinho, Sturridge and Origi should bring us the goals. Concentrate on the cups now and play, Brannagan, Stewart, Teixeira and Smith more often.

{Ed001's Note - you can blame Migs on that one, as soon as he realised he was not getting it, he should have been getting back on his line, not stood watching.}

Lovren always gets beaten by pace, what's the surpirse there. He got beaten by vardy early on when Okazaki missed a header crossed by vardy.

Mignolet is such a poor keeper that players feel they have s chance if they shoot on sight, guarantee Vardy wouldn't have attempted that against De Gea, Courtois, Cech or even Butland. Mignolet in goal almost gives the opposition belief they can score. That's how bad he is.

Agree mignolet is a poor keeper positioning an distribution is shocking. For those of you who keep harping on about sakho he is shocking the sooner he goes the better. The only thing he's good for is throwing himself infront of shots.

Yes it's not the first time Migs has been caught off his line this season, I remember Oscar nearly catching him out at Chelsea. But I really thought Lovren had the chance to win that ball Ed, before Vardy could get a strike off. He could have shown a bit more desire and intent to win the ball and put it out of of play. Anyways let's hope Courtinho, Strurridge and Origi come back strong and stay fit for the rest of the season.

{Ed001's Note - Lovren was chasing the quickest player in the Prem, to be fair.}

As much as it's a disappointing result, for me, it's pretty easy to take it on the chin and move on. Vardy, fairplay to the lad, his pace is almost unplayable and such a composed finisher.

One of the main reasons at the mo for us these problems is a lack of a true striker that will make runs behind the last man and get into space. I agree with Ed1, I thought Origi was looking a much better player under Klopp and clearly has a really high workrate and desire to improve. I think Ings is going to be great for us and if Studge manages to sort his problems out even enough to play a portion of games I think we have a great potential frontline. Although Firmino can play upfront he needs someone able to spot his runs and for as hard as Milner for eg. works he's like one huge panic attack that constantly picks the wrong pass. Our midfield pretty much dominated those areas last night, just lacked productivity. Looking forward to having Coutinho back and fresh.

One thing I have noticed of late is a lack of spreading balls from side to side and switching play as well. Our play seemed fairly narrow and we're failing to spot players free in space. Hendo seems the only player trying to pick a pass. Can is definitely capable but of late he seems to be doing it less. All the people doubting Sakho, he often plays a great ball out too, sometimes it doesn't work but I'm glad he tries it because it's the only way to improve.

There were a couple of examples again last night again where we've got guys wide open at the opposite side of the box and we try and drive through a congested area as well. It's like panic mode stops them from having any peripheral awareness.
