They were the worst side I've seen down here since we were promoted. The fact that they beat us tells you all you need to know about how wank we were

Couple of bad kicks other than that he was alright! Just a couple?! His handling was shit too, dropped a couple of simple takes only to be bailed out by the ref. Not the worst I've seen though to be fair mate! Gomes is up there I think

I'm not sure how you can judge us as the worst side to visit the Brit. Teams prove themselves good or bad over the course of a season. That's the first time I've seen Stoke live, and I was impressed by the energy and the control from midfield, especially in the first half. But next week or month or two months, you'll play someone else and (for whatever reason) be absolute sh!te. That won't make you a bad side - just a side that's had an off-day.
I've seen ever Leicester match this season and today was our worst performance, although I don't think, overall, it was that bad - after all, we didn't let in a goal, and our record signing scored a good one. Doubtless we will play better than that, and doubtless we will play worse than that. But for a team that has languished in the second tier for ten years (and the third tier for one year - thanks Stoke - I don't think we did too badly at all.

Possibly the worst side to take 3 points at the Brit but I'm not in the slightest suprised. I said after villa that teams will come here with 2 back lines of 4 and ask the question if we can break them down! The answe yet again no! Against teams that press us we will be fine as our pace on the break is electric and we can spread sides. At home where it's upto us find gaps then Hughes simply needs to do his work. Well done Leicester on a superb performance carried out to perfection I agree and Hull is another example. We are unable to build consistently from the back through midfield, N'Zonzi and Whelan have lots of touches but rarely break the lines, one run from N'Zonzi the exception today.

I'm struggling to remember a worse side we've played in the Premier League let alone lost to.
Wolves in the cup final season are the only team I can think of.

I think Pearson set you up well and for all our possession, you could count the genuine chances we had on one hand. I think Cambiasso brought some control in midfield for you as Whelan and N'Zonzi looked comfortable during the first half. He could be an important player for you this season. Thought Schlupp was pretty good too. As for us....sigh....I worry we've lost our only consistent goal threat, Odemwingie.

Leicester have drawn with Everton and Arsenal and made Chelsea work hard to win.
They are NOT a bad side but we dominated them and should have thrashed them only we didn't
Actually thought their keeper had a good game apart from his kicking

If you replayed that game 20 times, that'd be the only one where things fell that way. You could make a case for Villa doing a "good, professional" job, where as Leicester today were more on the plain lucky end of the spectrum. Haha, I've just made this exact point on another thread, almost word for word, including the 1 in 20 figure. I swear I hadn't seen your post!

As far I'm concerned, we deserved to lose.
Leicester did what needed to be done and we didn't.

As far I'm concerned, we deserved to lose. Leicester did what needed to be done and we didn't. Couldn't agree more. We've developed a billy big bollocks mentality over the last few years. We had four shots on target, two in the same move. They deserved it

If a team spends 90 minutes attacking, hitting the woodwork 50 times, having 30 shots saved by the keeper and the other team scores from one breakaway shot then the deserved winner is the team that scores.
