And that will always be the issue with Hodgson. He’s a safe bet. He will get us over the line. However it’s frustrating to watch his team, especially at home. We just don’t have the creative minds to create opportunities. However again, the stats don’t always prove this theory, again we pretty much matched Leicester on the stats. Roy has a style of play and will not deter from that. The trusted midfielders he continually plays are all far too samey. Not one of them is fully attack minded and that’s Roy’s style. The players have to fit the mould. Luka has been poor for a while, Kouyate for all his hard work breaking down play has a nose bleed when he tries to go forward and Macca does a good job all round in fairness. Schlupp, I’m sorry I don’t get him and Roy’s opinion of him. The jury’s out with Max for me but why don’t we give him more of a run out? Camarasa is a mystery. I was excited when he joined a type of player we don’t have that creative on the ball and can score goals. Roy being Roy can’t accommodate him into his rigid game plan. I’m torn with Roy because he’s doing a job, but I just feel he could afford be a little more expansive. We’ve seen that Leicester games so many times with Roy. I’m not even sure transfers are the answer. Do we all really think that if we brought in any attacking players that Roy would actually play them? The subs, when he actually makes subs don’t make sense to me. Roy’s not in the least bit adaptable to a game, no matter who is in front of us - it’s the same over and over again. Like I said with Roy at the helm we are likely to have PL football again next season so you can’t knock him for that but when you have Parish coming out saying he wants to compete at the top end of the league (with no money I hasten to add) it’s laughable with Roy in charge

You think he is not trying and having a sulk?

Haters always gonna hate etc

He's not sulking. This is Zaha. 1 good game in 5. He definitely looks like he has lost a lot of pace, I don't know how he has managed it but he has got slower in 3 months. He has been out sprinted by slower players numerous times this season.

Although we've got a good record in recent seasons against Leicester, yesterday's game looked like a tough match, and so it proved. They're a good side in fine, confident form and currently look a good bet for a top 6 place. Whether or not they can sustain that form remains to be seen.

Defensively, I thought we were just as good as they were. As always, Roy had us defensively well organised, sold and resilient (although conceding a third goal from corners in two games is a little worrying).

As every Palace fan knows, our weakness is our attacking and offensive play, and that certainly showed yesterday. That's not surprising given that our offensive midfield of McArthur, Kouyate, Schlupp, and Wilf were offensively matched against Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans and Perez. A midfield that must be worth in the region of £150m. And currently, Vardy is on a hot streak of form and we can only dream of having a striker with his scoring record and capability.

Were were beaten by the better team yesterday but gave them a tough game. We can only imagine how things might have turned out of Ayew had converted his chance early in the second half after what I thought was the best attacking move in the match.

Yes, it's frustrating watching a limited attack struggle against top 10 opponents, but Roy will consistently get the best out of the resources available to him which I'm confident will be good enough to keep us in the Prem. I do, though, look forward to when we are able to invest in some more effective attackers, and hope that won't be too far away.
