Under coached if anything.

Bit harsh I think - surely it's at least reasonably likely that a Leicester team which has been ripping sides to shreds and is technically top of the PL in 2015 will beat us at home?
We've done little so far this season to think anything other than this is a likely scenario. Obviously we're all desperate to win, but I don't think it's garbage for people to be essentially expecting a result along the same lines as the bookies.
As for the other stuff, I think 99% of people would probably admit there are legitimate concerns with regards to the makeup of our team an the way we're both set up tactically and in terms of the formation, and in the way we're coached.
All seems pretty reasonable to me so far in here. I'm sure it'll get hysterical later but let's not start pre-supposing posts before they've happened.

1-2, Kane 1st goal, Eriksen with a late winner, aka the classic.

Let's get real.. Leicester have so far beaten a hopeless Sunderland and a schizophrenic West Ham.. This is a game where we should and can win, albeit not that comfortably.
I wonder if SC can raise some funds by setting up a match day dispensary for anti-depression medication. They could be virtual, a digital placebo, with appropriate emoticon.

A schizophrenic West Ham? Oh u mean the team that deservedly beat Arsenal at the Emirates. Under estimate Leicester at your peril. They're in form, organised, full of pace and goal threats and have a tactically astute manager. We may be stronger at the back than we were last season but we still have a soft centre and a one speed attack.

Never mind the 7 out of 9 they won at the end of last season...

We need pace from the off today. Either Clinton or Pritchard must start so that we have some sort of counter attacking threat.
Imagine they'll only come on when we're losing and Leicester can put 10 men behind the ball. Not confident I'm afraid.

Knowing Poch it will be the same team with Rose for Davies. Will be a shame as I think we need some freshness to create a bit of a spark in the team, preferably through Alli, Pritchard or N'Jie. Would also like to see Dembele in the middle.

If we lose, I'd imagine people will be calling for Poch's head, which will be retarded.
For the first time ever, I legitimately think the team IS in transition and this season we should just kinda go along with it, see what happens.
If we lose, we lose. Not like we're going to get relegated.
Pretty much not fussed whether we win or lose today, but I'll enjoy reading the meltdown if we don't manage to get a win.
To be fair, I'm hungover as fuck so that's probably dictating my mood somewhat.

Complete opposite for me, all about the system and the interchanging positions ... looks like he totally forgets to tell players we have to express themselves and doesn't appear to look for any expressive/creative players to add as he can't accommodate them in this very structured system that lacks the fluidity it is supposed to bring

You get to give MP credit - he has given us back our Saturday afternoon football.
But I think sky/bt have overlooked a potential high scoring cracker this afternoon.
