Leicester were the better side over the course of the half, but 0-0 was a pretty fair representation of the run of play. The defeat leaves us with a single point from three matches. There was plenty of intensity and forward movement, but Southampton were organized at the back and kept the clear-cut chances to a minimum. We couldn’t slow down the Saints, we couldn’t string passes together, and we certainly couldn’t defend. A long throw found Armel Bella-Kotchap with his back to goal deep in the City penalty area. Bella-Kotchap, who had been both brilliant and incredibly lucky not to be sent off in the first two minutes, did well to dispossess Dewsbury-Hall in the area to snuff out what looked like a goal-scoring opportunity. There were no changes to either side at the half as both managers seemed reasonably satisfied with their charges in the opening forty-five minutes. Three at the back, four at the back, eleven at the back, there’s just no confidence right now. [Leicester City](https://fosseposse.sbnation.com) fell to [Southampton](https://stmarysmusings.sbnation.com) at the King Power on Saturday afternoon by a score of 2-1. He held his nerve and beat Ward, but the flag went up as he was several yards past the last man when the ball was played. The Saints struggled to get out of their own half and gave the ball right back whenever they managed to regain possession. A ball over the top found Sekou Mara alone behind the defence.

Despite Barnes’ return to the side, it did not free him up, and he was kept out of the game by Bella-Kotchap and Salisu. But on other occasions, he did not move the ball on quickly enough, and was dispossessed. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: He was really good in all aspects of the game in the first half, showing good footwork around the box, nice passing, intelligence in the timing of his balls forward, and getting stuck in too. He was not culpable for either of the conceded goals, but he won’t be happy that he’s part of a defence that has conceded eight in three games. Daniel Amartey: He was mostly composed on the ball and in defensive moments, but he did have a couple of scares where he looked rather amateurish. He was neither found in the box, nor contributed to City’s build-up play. Otherwise, he was defensively solid, while he worked well with Perez on the right flank to get into good areas. Supporters noticed him in the second half, and he was happy to take pictures and sign autographs. As expected, Rodgers deemed Wesley Fofana to not be in the right frame of mind to play, and so he was left out of the squad completely. It was deserved for the control Southampton had in the game. The second half looked to be a continuation of the first, but then Maddison produced a moment of magic. His absence was not the only eyebrow-raising selection, with Youri Tielemans dropped to the bench.
