Appreciate this isn' a great source, but Merson was basically saying that on sky.
We were battering them apparently, but not for the first time, nothing fell for us.
Its not an excuse, but I dont feel weve had the rub of the green this year, probably used it all up in the previous promotion season. |  | | |

Even first, despite some bloody awful passing, we still had lots about us in that first half, oshea would have had nightmares about that header all night.
2nd half unreal, that is a town side under KM. | |

We did and we created enough to win that game. The narrative would be so different had we found the winner. |  | | |

with the players Leicester have, sitting on a 1-0 lead with everyone behind the ball wasn't the best tactic. They should have had chances to counter attack and quite possibly double their lead. Defended very well but deserved nothing. |  | | |

I would give credit to Leicester for their defending second half. The amount of last ditch blocks and clearances in the box was impressive. |  | | |

We did play well, but other than all the corners (which ultimately came to nothing despite O'Shea getting the first contact on almost every one), did we create enough?
The main chance that I remember is Akpom's, which was unlucky. Did we have many others? |  |

There were lots of half chances, needed to be more clinical with the final balls but also leicester were relentless with their defending at times, so many times we shot at goal inside the area, but leicester got a foot in. | |

Yeah there was no lack of effort from Leicester and for the most part they organised themselves well. Needed a little bit of luck on a few occasions but they were a tough nut. They've got some very good players, I can't see them going down. | | | |

I think they genuinely couldn't get out. | | | |

A Kipre header from about 5 yards would have been a pretty good chance. | | | |

We must have got the ball in behind the fullbacks and squared across the goal at least 5 times - with no-one on the end.
That was the most frustrating element for me on Saturday. |  | | |

OP: and that's the reason we're not promotion contenders, either automatically ( not a hope of that tbh) or via PO's. We just dont have that ability to win must win games let alone against relegation threatened ones.
Weve needed accomplished strikers for ages . The club messed up in.tye summer not getting in decent, ready to go, strikers.... Thats Mckenna and Ashtons fault. |  |

It’s the sort of game in 23/24 where we would have found a way to find a winner and probably would have played worse than we did in the 2nd half too. |  |

Akpon trying to place it when there were defenders galore around was brave. Might have been better off whacking it a good'un. | | | |

Our conversion from positions like that has been poor for ages now. | | | |

Most games at this level are very fine margins aren't they? Saturday could easily have been 4-1 on another day - O'Shea sitter, at least one penalty, defender knew nothing about that Akpom shot that diverted off the inside of his heel. Nothing really went for us. Appreciate some people will say 'if my auntie had b*llocks she would be my uncle' but it's true. | | | |

We didn’t take our chances.
Leicester had an xG of 0.18. O’Shea had an xG of 0.38 and an xA of 0.56. |  |

If we had Middlesbrough's luck for the first goal yesterday he'd have been better off missing the target, getting a rebound from an unwitting defender and then elbowing it in  | | | |

I was thinking that this morning. It just feels like we haven’t had the breaks, even if that’s a load of rubbish. It is what it is.
I am still disappointed with the result, but I have to say I thought we played as well as at any time this season second half. There are worse sides than Leicester out there and as has been pointed out, they just couldn’t get out.
Smart finish from Egeli too. | | | |

Yet we have won 18 matches, including home and away against the runaway leaders.
I'd say that it disproves the statement about not having the ability to win such games . . . | | | |
