Leicester City’s winning run came to an end at the weekend when they were held to a frustrating draw by Norwich City at the King Power stadium.
Foxes midfielder James Maddison took to social media to express his disappointment at the result but also expressed his thanks to the travelling Canaries supporters who gave him a great reception.
Despite losing ground on the league leaders Liverpool this weekend the supporters remained upbeat and showed their appreciation to Maddison and his team-mates for what has been an amazing season so far. But what went wrong?
Is Brendan Rodgers to blame for the winning run coming to an end?
Yes
No
Not your fault Madders, System Failure, but we will forgive Brendan for this one????

What do we think?
Leicester City will be kicking themselves having failed to take all three points versus a side who find themselves languishing in the relegation zone. However, there is no reason to feel too downbeat considering how well this season has gone so far. James Maddison has been one of the Foxes’ standout performers and if as one of the fans pointed out Brendan Rodgers was to blame for the dropping of two points, he can be forgiven.
Since Rodgers’ arrival, Leicester City have improved dramatically and the fact they are even being spoken about as Premier League title contenders is a testament to that. They now find themselves ten points behind the league leaders but still hold a four-point lead over Manchester City in third.
