A point doesn't feel like much when just a few weeks ago we were miles ahead of teams now breathing down our necks.

Any reason why Vardy doesn't take the pens for Leicester Mahrez pen was shocking if I remember rightly Vardy smashed one in against Newcastle.

Trying to take the pressure off himself, I'd rather watch paint dry than watch that lot play they're that dull.

All the money he's spent and they still are shite. I just hope we batter them tomorrow or I'll have to go into hiding

I dunno, the whole way Mahrez is played is strange gave his position. It worked at the start of the season when we played high intensity, high tempo, attacking football but he's look lost ever since Ranieri decided we needed to put the brakes on, honestly like a lot of the team has. From the Streak to something insane like thirty days since Vardy last scored?! Under Pearson too Leicester have always had this odd approach of changing tactics just when things are working out, and sticking far longer with something obviously not working, for reasons never made public.

February is a hard month and we've squandered games where there was really no reason for us at all to have not picked up a full three points, so I'll be interested in where we are come March. Our lifeline right now is the lack of consistency in the clubs around us, landing big wins on the back of big losses. If we can keep picking up draws during those times when they get their big losses, we can stay in the game.

Do you think the headlines he got has gone to his head with the links to bigger clubs. Really like the look of Kante in midfield him and Drinkwater do a good job for Leicester.

I don't know why at this stage of his career that now he wants to play cautious tactics and to do it at a club like United when it was never their style of play.

Hopefully he's stays with them or even better they give it to Giggs.

I can see them spending mega money again in the summer.

I dunno, he's always had a tendency to overplay a little. It just seemed like it was finally coming to something.

Our more "unsung" signings have been better for us, I think. Huth, Fuchs, Kante, can't imagine the side without them now.

Drinkwater creates some absolutely incredible chances and looks a real threat on goal. He struggled at first to transition to the Premier League but he's really come back into his own again recently.

C'mon Utd!!!!

I was in the Stretford End earlier on in the season when we beat Liverpool and Martial arrived with a great goal!

Cheers for that you Mancs (red ones), that keeps Liverpool below us. Not a bad set of results for Palace at all this weekend, we've still only dropped one place despite our hammering. The luck will run out against Tottingham though either way, you can't carry on not scoring for too long without it catching up with you. 5 games and counting...

I don't think Mr Bridges will be back to celebrate the win!

Hope Swansea get a good hiding tomorrow. If Newcastle pull away there aren't many teams who I hink we can catch. Maybe Norwich and Bournemouth and that's it.

Bridges got banned? He didn't post that picture all that long ago, what could they have done in such a small frame of time, while also watching the game?

In my opinion? Using a famous persons name and picture as his own. Just my opinion.

It only dawned on me a couple of days ago. I'm not huge on stand up comedians. This guy claimed to be from Belfast I think. The real one is from Clydebank lol.

[David LFC]

How the **** we came away from that game with no points I'll never know.

Surely Klopp sees we've no good Wide players and we don't have a top class striker when Sturridge is out which is 99% of the time with him.

Big rebuilding job in the summer and the UEFA Cup is our only hope of getting Champions League football.

Could be. Seems odd to use that name and avatar though IMO.
