we win that game. You can can blame the officials and VAR all you like, understandably in the heat of the moment, but we are the architects of our own downfall.

With eleven we would have done …..simple as that really .
You don't need eleven. 1 up, 5 minutes to go, 1 man down..... I'd take that every single game. Just do your job and manage the game better and you're more than likely end up the winner. That's in our hands even with a crooked ref.

In play I thought Morsy should have went for goal. It was on his right foot, Keeper well off his line, probably a 50/1 chance of scoring but no harm done if he missed.

Morsy looked like he was trying to buy a free-kick, but the ref wasn’t having it.
Should have just kept going or booted the ball towards the corner flag.
Morsy was absolutely spent, thought he was magnificent today.
While other posters are saying he should have booted it away, taken a shot etc He didn't have the legs to get to the corner flag and the other options give possession back to Leicester and the pressure continues to build.
Not sure what the hive mind thinks, but watching on TV that should have been a free kick for us. The inconsistency of the ref was nuts.
The Leicester wingers were losing their rag and giving him pelters yet when we were down to 10 men he was handing out yellows to the guys in blue like confetti!!!

Morsy kicks the ball out, they take a quick throw, Burns is beaten too easily and they score, Morsy should have held it up and bought a foul.
Morsy holds the ball up, wins a foul and we run time down in the corner, Morsy masterstroke.
Morsy loses the ball as he doesn't get the foul he was after, Burns is easily beaten and they score.
Hindsight, even scapegoating is easy.
If he boots the ball 60 yards out of play by the corner flag, how in the Usain Bolt is a Leicester player getting there quick enough to take a quick throw given they were all attacking in our half?
I don’t think Nike. Is necessarily making him a scapegoat, just pointing out things could’ve been different. I think he thought / assumed he had done enough to win a foul.

Calm down. Look at the facts. Against Villa Greaves makes a bad error that leads to a goal. . Against Brentford Muric drops a clanger and today Morsy should've booted it. Those errors alone have potentially cost us 5 points. You can't hide away from that. For all our good play individual errors are killing us.
We have got to learn to close a game out but it isn't helping when we are reduced to 10 men on a marginal call and when decisions in the box are going against us.
In this week’s TWTV Video Verdict former Town captain Carlos Edwards does reference that moment when Morsy takes the ball up field and out of danger, but allows the turnover that leads to the goal. Was it better to smash it into the stands or upfield?
Watch the show below, with some strong opinions from Phil and Kallum on the key moments in the game.
Easy to say that after the event really. Not like there was 30 seconds left, there was still 5 minutes to play. If he boots it into touch and they then come up the over end and score, it is "why did he just give them the ball back so cheaply". Can't win.

Yes we can blame them all you want, as it's f**king disgraceful. And Morsy wouldn't have been put in that desperate position. Any fans looking to put it on the players after that need to take a hard look at themselves, if they even are fans
Oh fck off 😂
Crying constantly over refs and VAR, now they are the fans that need to look at themselves. Do you think KM goes into training and says ‘Sam, Wes, we are ignoring your inability to firstly keep the ball, then be stronger/smarter in the tackle. Because I’m annoyed at the ref’
The ref was giving free kicks for that all game. Anyone digging out Morsy seems to have forgotten that, and is being wise after the event.
So he’s hoping for some help off the ref, when he/we know football doesn’t work like that. It’s poor from him. Really weird that people can’t just accept a Town player could be at fault.

Nobody's digging out anyone. Players make mistakes, it happens. Morsy made a mistake today which lead to their goal. He should've booted it. The old saying still exists... if in doubt boot it out.
I have been saying that a few games this season just hoof it out !

What a load of crap,you have to make your own luck in this world otherwise you fall away.
I mean fancy football fans moaning about a game of football on a football forum.

Weird that some seem to always want to blame the players. Weird that some can't seem to accept others saw it differently to them.
I haven't seen the highlights yet but in real time it looked like Morsy was shielding the ball and hoping to draw a foul to relieve the pressure... and I thought he'd done that. I doubt he literally thought "I'm hoping for some help off the ref here" but the ref had been giving fouls for stuff like that all game. All I want is consistency.
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I’ve watched the game a few times now,it looked a cracker of a game tbh.
Before a ball was kicked I said draw,but to concede in the 94th minute was a gut wrenching.
I can’t see why a penalty wasn’t given as it was a blatant shove.

No. If he kicks the ball out he gives possession back to them and they rebuild. Drawing the foul was the smart thing to do only…it wasn’t given.
It gives them possession ... and it knocks 30 seconds of the clock and, more importantly, allows us to re-group and get our defensive shape back. You talk about them rebuilding .... we needed to rebuild more as once possession changed hands they equalised in 10 seconds and went through us very easily.
Drawing a foul essentially means making yourselves weak and to go down at the first sign of contact. Maybe a referee knows this and looks out for that - especially when one side is trying to see the game out. It's tactically astute, but if it doesn't work - don't cry about it as its basically trying to con the ref.

I haven't read the forum, I watched the actual game.
So do you disagree with all those who said we didn't get anything from the ref all game?
That was my point. If the ref didn't give us anything all game which a large majority of the forum have said. Then why do you feel he'd have got something in that moment.

Its common sense hoof the fker. Get them as far back into their own half. You take 0 risk on losing the ball in your own half. Not even hindsight to know that. We lost the ball last week on halfway to which they then scored.
The desperation to not critique a player is baffling.
