In isolation, Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will have taken some positives from his side's display during a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
They were defensively resolute, afforded Chelsea few chances and looked bright on the counter-attack during the first half.
The problem is that, with 10 matches left in the Premier League season, Leicester cannot afford to judge anything in isolation.
The only thing that matters at this stage is points and Leicester are not earning enough of them to survive.
The defeat was Leicester's 12th in their last 13 league matches.
