@LeeScott321: Hard done by not to get something out of that, I think a fit Bamford makes all the difference in a game like that.

@V2Harris: Fuming because we were the better team. Results matter now. Two home games that really need six points.

@TheDavidJRyan: Not Bielsa Ball, but lots of positives. We looked a lot more solid. Great to see Gelhardt get 30 minutes. Lots of attacking chances. I thought we deserved at least a draw. Roll on Villa, feel a win coming on.

@LauricWhite: Deserved at least a point today with a lot tighter performance. A lot of positives to take away from a much improved performance.

@D_Bramley: Rodrigo... possibly the biggest waste of 30million you'll ever see.

@Jake_Harris15: Really positive first game under Marsch there. Deserved 3 points out of that not a loss. Schmeichel turning into prime Buffon saves Leicester. We will be absolutely fine playing like this and with Bamford back up top. Looked really good today in my opinion.

@KevinCocks6: Really didn't deserve to loose that in my opinion, but the luck has completely gone somewhere. Raphinha just had to score that chance - I knew after that what was going to happen.

@ConnorPratchett: Tough result to take that. Deserved at least a draw but signs of what Jesse Marsch is bringing to the team. Roberts’ injury killed the game, Joffy exciting as expected. Hopefully Bamford will be 100% for Thursday!

@JimJamthemonk: Definitely deserved something there but story of our season. You have to take you chances or you'll get punished. Next two are vital to get points from.

@Davesmam: Disappointed but not downhearted.

@Rbentley11: Very frustrating result, deserved something from that. Still think we’ll be fine. Bamford back in the squad and Phillips getting closer. Big run in.

@LUFC76ALAW: Didn’t deserve to lose that - should have won. Need to get points - big few games coming up.

@TopTipping1: I don't want us to be entertaining anymore, I want us to be winners!

@Renners_d: Points not huddles.

@C_ellis92: Thought #LUFC did well and we definitely deserved more from that. Schmeichel as MOTM tells the story.
