People need to realise this lad is 21, he’s very much a work in progress 

Absolutely this, unfortunately he's the starter for a relegation battler and is going to be an instant scapegoat.

It happens, and its something we have to deal with in the short term and hope he evolves into the player he can be. Although by then Man City will probably want him back!

Had a face on him like a lad who's been riddled with bullets when Pereira won the ball and left a little bit on him at the end. Got up the minute we won it back. I don't like that. He's 21 yes, he's young but he keeps making the same mistakes. You'd wonder has anyone roasted him out of it since the Bournemouth game.

The pass from konsa was shit, should never have passed it to him in that area with players right on him

This, Konsa could've/should've clearly seen that Leicester's man was coming right up behind Luiz and he would've had no option anyway but to go straight back to Konsa. We did a few silly things from free kicks, like when we had one out wide and sent everyone up, then Jack and Conor just kinda fiddled around with it, lost it and got us caught on the break.

When the ball comes to you, however it's been delivered, the responsibility falls on the guy that has it to deal with it. He had to of known there was a man on. He's pretty culpable here.

I think people are shifting way too much of the blame on the pass after the free kick in an effort to defend Douglas. The pass wasn't good, but that's absolutely no excuse for losing the ball in his position. By all right he could've and should've gotten it away safely.

Poor for the goal and most of the night but he shouldn't have been given the ball from that free kick. Still we shouldn't be discouraging him wanting the ball! 

Him jack and El Ghazi are the only players really comfortable on the ball. Get another decent midfielder along side him will really help him out.

He had looked like he was getting a bit more up to the pace of English football over the last few games, but tonight was a total relapse.

Yep. I rate him, but tonight was a performance to forget.
