:crylaugh:What a joke. Pathetic. So arrogant, so inept. One hopes this is **** gigantic humiliating arse kick. Top 10 will be a tough enough achievement, thank God we already have 12 points. Just shows if we aren't on it bang on we'll be killed. We have no room for complacency. Such a disappointing result and performance. Out everything's tonight. Big learning curve. Full week off to r3cover, but that unbeaten aura has gone in the worst possible way. Back to reality and down with dreaming until this side grow up and realise they actually need to fight. Also further puts in context that Liverpool were super shit and we just capitalised.

There was a game early in Leicesters winning season where they were 2 down with about half an hour to go. They won 3-2 and it arguably gave them the belief they were unbeatable. 

Yes of course it was against us. No of course we didn't replicate that!

Like every team in the PL this season, we are going to see these type of results. We’ve been able to manage the excitement levels for the first 4 games but it was quite obvious that we weren’t up for the game tonight. Getting the physical and mental preparation balanced to perform is an art, be off by 1-2% in the current climate and you can be well beaten.

We were off the pace, hopefully it’s a one off.

Fun fact but Leicester lost by a 3 goal margin in a home game two weeks later (5-2 v Arsenal).

If we don't win next weekend we'd still at least equal Leicester's start after 6 games from 15/16.

The way I look at it is: we have 12 points from 5 games. We need another 28 from 33 remaining games to reach the normally-recognised comfort zone of 40 points. 

This season is going to be a lot easier than last because of the way we have started but, as last night showed, we are not quite the finished article yet.

Once we get to 40 points we can relax and start to focus on what comes next. But until we get there, any talk about titles is a touchette premature.

If you compare like for like results with last season:

Sheff u home: 19/20 draw 20/21 win

Fulham away (playoff winners matched with 20th placed in pl): 19/20 win   20/21 win

Plop home: 19/20 loss 20/21 win

Leic away: 19/20 loss 20/21 win

Leeds home: (1st in champ matched with 18th placed in PL): 19/20 loss 20/21 loss.

Overall we are 8 points better off. Nothing to worry about
