I missed my last line ... Gracia OUT. I really believe we'd be better off without him than with, as strange as that may sound.

We are now relying on 3 teams being worse than us but I honestly don’t there are.Leicester showed they can play a bit and were far too good to us. Maddison is an annoying twat but he’s streets ahead of Roca and Vardy at 52 years old is simply a better striker than Bamford will ever be.Yes, first half we gave them a game, mainly through effort rather than intelligent play. McKennie and Rodrigo in particular upped their effort and really made a difference and we harried Leicester into making mistakes and scored a good goal.So going in ahead at half-time , the mood in the stands was fairly positive but that soon changed when you realised that we couldn’t keep that up and Leicester realised that with their midfield they could take us apart at will, and they did. It was wave after wave of blue shirts moving forward into our box and we couldn’t stop it. Gracia dithered with his subs - he was having a conference with his staff for 10 mins before he finally made a decision and that was eventually forced as Rodrigo was out on his feet and running the risk of getting sent off. Gracie’s answer wasn’t Willy or 35 million pound Rutter but Aaronson. I thought the bloke near me was going to have a fit - he was livid and so we’re a lot of fans. I was hoping Aaronson could have more of an impact as a sub against tired legs but like his whole season, he was unable to make an impact.Roca, who had been poor throughout, was out on his feet from 60 mins but Gracia kept him on as Maddison and co danced around him. At least Marsch used to replace Roca regularly in the 2nd half, I actually think Gracia doesn’t know his players (that’s not altogether surprising) but he also doesn’t look like he knows a system that will suit them. We go from pushing on to being ultra defensive and sitting back. It’s awful to watch. To be fair, the crowd stayed with the team and I only heard a few Orta out chants from the Kop after the final whistle but if truth be told Leicester should have walked this and it could have been another Palace if Meslier hadn’t made a couple of top class saves and Leicester hadn’t been unlucky with 2 off side goals.I think the writing is on the wall. Meslier - 8 Kept is in the game Ayling - 6. Barnes was subbed and scored so you could argue he did his job, but like all the defence he really struggled 2nd half Firpo - 3 Offered nothing going forward and struggled in defence. Summerville did a better job at left back Cooper - 6. Battled hard but couldn’t cope with the blue wave once out midfield had collapsed Koch - 5. Ditto Roca - 3. I’ve said all there is to say, he’s not good enough. He gave the ball away repeatedly and even his half decent looking passes rarely reach their intended target. Has to be dropped. I’d play Forshaw and any of the U-21s in his place. Total liability. McKennie- 6. Great first half, stepped it up but ran out of steam 2nd half. Harrison- 7. Probably our best player on the night. Tried constantly to make things happen but his final ball at times is lacking. Rodrigo- 8. All for effort. He was like a raging bull and the crowd appreciated that. Ran out of steam 2nd half but he’d fine his bit. Bamford -3. Poor. Missed the sitter at the end and nobody was surprised. He’s a confidence player and he’s got none. Compare to Vardy - he was always going to score, his body language is positive- Bamford is the total opposite. Sinistera- 6. Great goal but then got injured which seems to be the story of his Leeds career. Subs Summerville- 5. Played as an extra left back. Never seen him make so many tackles. Criminal. Gnonto - just sat on the bench stroking his massive cock

We almost scored at the end, but their keeper made a hell of a save. Bamford’s miss. But we needed to win that. So we bring Aaronson on. And leave Gnonto & Rutter on the bench. It’s going to be a case of who is shitter, isn’t it?
