How about fans of the away team?
One Leicester City fan asked the question: "Imagine if we had a keeper who could actually make saves like De Gea?"
Another was concerned about their overall performance this season. Despite some decent results recently, they still have something of a fight to avoid a relegation battle. Jon said: "We have played 23 games and have 24 points. I can't remember Leicester being this bad since a Championship season. "
