We asked for your thoughts after Thursday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Leicester.
Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Graham: I am extremely proud of what our boys have achieved this year, it is far from over but Arne Slot has built on Jurgen Klopp's legacy. Well done boys - keep up the good work.
Shay: The amount of poor first-half performances, stretching back to last season under Klopp, is worrying. We do play with more control but ultimately we ran out of comebacks last season and fell off. I fear the same thing will happen again unless we start much better. It's something Slot noticed as well, so I am unclear why it's happening!
Ian: Leicester were stubborn opponents but Liverpool persevered with some excellent football and came out deserved winners. I know I keep mentioning it but again Darwin Nunez was disappointing - we need to invest in a proper number nine.
Yusuf: This Liverpool side has matured greatly over the past months. Even when going behind, they knew how to manage the game and then came flying out of the blocks and scored three well-worked goals. The team's core has stayed the same since the start of last season and now it feels like it can only be ourselves that stop us winning our games. Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah with two outstanding goals.
Leicester fans
Jane: Liked the desire for large parts but I think we are bang in trouble with the lack of quality in the squad. Positives to take but I think Ruud van Nistelrooy will be fighting a losing battle.
Richie: We were always expecting to lose. How we lost matters, and the desire to fight has been absent for the past few managers. So all in all… not a bad performance!
James: This was a much-improved defensive display that in the end was eventually breached by an impressive Liverpool, who took their time to get going. However, other than Jordan Ayew's finish on the turn, Leicester barely laid a glove on Liverpool with Patson Daka and Stephy Mavididi wasteful with their few opportunities. One goal in their past three showcases a bluntness to their play that will need to be put right, as well as having defensive frailties fixed. Got one heck of a job on your hands Ruud.
Richard: Too many players looked light. Men against boys at times. Daka shows why he's not Premier League standard - he gets knocked off the ball too easily. Leicester need a total overhaul. Keep the faith...keep our fingers crossed!
