    I've learnt this:

    Rooney is not a captain (how can you yell at your players, when you play like shite?);

    LvG needs to stop shitting about 'philosophy" and "tactics". Starting to losing faith in him (he got players he'd wanted);

    Our defence is a joke;

    We fell apart as a team. Where was Herrera after 3-2? And Blind? Rojo looked very weak at times;

    Bad substitutions;

    Truly amazing refereeing!

    Don't blame the attack for this performance, blame the defence and Blind.
     
    In complete control until the ref fecked it up. One of the worst performances from a ref I've ever seen. He should be banned from reffing us again. cnut.
     
    We can still get 4th.. Get 4th.. add a defender or ttwo.. and challenge for the championship next year..
     
    Jones coming back is going to be like the second coming of Christ! That is how bad our defence is.

    We were looking good value and then he gave the penalty plus another and red for that penalty. How is that not changing the game?

    I hope the cnut loses his job.

    He changed the game (which happens to everyone, might as well get over it), but he didn't decide the game.
     
    I said it already, but the defensive line is absolutely non existent, especially with the likes of Evans or Smalling at CB.
    After the departures of such experienced CBs like Vidic and Ferdinand, we need to find another experienced central back who can play a huge role for these young defenders like Blackett, Jones, Rojo and Rafael.
    The bad refereeing cost us the game, no doubt about it, but our defense was completely gone after those poor decision made by that annoying cnut that is called Clatenburg and is till somehow a premier league referee.
     
    Shocking opinion maybe: Di Maria, Rooney and RVP could not keep the ball anymore up front after 3-2. This put all pressure on defense. For me, the forwards crumbled first, not defense.
     
    Wow since fergie left were breaking every record we once had

    Just seen : For first time in our 853 PL games since its inception we have thrown a way a 2 goal lead to lose

    Wow, just wow
     
    Rafa, Evans, Rojo, Rooney, RVP... hang your heads in shame.

    Blackett was our best defender until the sending off. That was purely inexperience.

    I'm gutted, I thought we'd turned the corner following the QPR result - but as has been the case so many times, it turned out to be another false dawn.

    Maybe the problem isn't LvG but the players not implementing his philosophy. I doubt his philosophy is when you score a goal, stop giving a f^^k which is what we did today.

    The substitutions were fine, the players being brought in have the ability to win games.

    What did Blind do? A lot of their goals were long balls.
     
    It was all the ref's fault. We were in cruise control until his shocking decision robbed us.
     
    This match just shows how we lack calmness in our team, and I put this on Rooney. As the captain, he should have kept the team calm, but he panicked, lost his head and composure, and brought down the whole team's mentality with his petulance. I was very surprised that he didn't go off at all. Surely, we needed a calm head, but we kept Rooney, who was panicking and in frustration.

    Clattenburg did ruin the match for us, but if we can't keep calm during these situations, then referees will have a fun time screwing us over for their pleasure.
     
    Losing isn't even the worst thing.. It's these so called "professionals" on T.V/Twitter refusing to admit we were robbed, it's sad.
     
    I guess the last year or so everything is coming back to haunt us. Oh well yes it was a diabolical decision or non decision from the ref but we did a spurs there no complaints we lost that.

    He pretty much decided with that pen and red, how are we going to fight 12 players( cuntenburg) and Leicester with blackett off?

    I actually agree. RvP showed no effort AT ALL after his goal. Just walked over to be in the way. Non existent closing down. No off-the-ball movement. Falcoa has not settled in yet. Collective team failure but the mental breakdown was the worst.
     
    Vardy: "it was just strength shoulder to shoulder."

    Yeah, dim as shit.

    I felt as a tactical change we could have had Rooney drop further back into midfield when we were up. Although of course hindsight is 20/20.
     
    Vardy reckons his wasn't a foul and it was a definite penalty. I know he was always going to say that but it would have been nice to see him own up.
