We've been poor since we scored

Not sure I'd agree we've been poor, but we've certainly allowed a game we had control of for most of the first half become more evenly matched again.

 

[Alan]

Yeah, that’s shocking defending and it’s nothing more than they deserve. We’ve kept the ball nowhere near well enough. Maybe that will wake us up.

Wake us up? It's the same issue we've had all season: no hold up play.

Pod and Jiminez can be dangerous but the way they pick up the ball and try to beat the whole defense by themselves is not sustainable.

Of course in this case we don't concede if RAN doesn't fall asleep, but he's 20 and has been generally brilliant defensively so he has credit in the bank.

 

[Carrotdude]

Happy to sit back and try and break. It won’t always work. We’re always going to be limited going forward with Donck as the extra man

 

[NicholasG1973]

Raul has done absolutely zero again today.

 

[Alan]

Lookman is giving Semedo and Kilman a shift like they haven't had all season.

 

[prawnking]

Leicester sure have an abundance of players with slappable faces. Tielemans, Albrighton, Soyuncu, Thomas...

 

[The Bear]

Raul has done absolutely zero again today.

Yep he's been very poor, even when chances have appeared.

 

[AndyWolves]

I didn't think the defending was that bad tbh. Maybe a straighter defensive line and we catch them offside.

Other than that, excellent through ball and lookman had the pace he needed

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah Raul nowhere near it again tonight, he did set up our goal though

 

[prawnking]

Raul has done absolutely zero again today.

Weird positioning there for an attacking corner there... Not even in the box and then chasing back like he's a DM...

 

[Alan]

Raul is an active problem at the moment, IMO.

 

[WsWolf]

Need to be going 343 here. The 3 in midfield is being completely neutralized as they are switching it and getting 2 v 1 wide every time as we can't get over quick enough.

 

[Throbber3]

Sloppy and open at the back unusually. Kilman looks a bit sleepy today. There’s more goals at both ends by the looks of things

It was a great through ball perfectly timed. The fault was RAN letting Lookman get ahead him.

Yep. Goal was well made. We'd already had a few scares before that.

 

[Alan]

Leicester can sure as shit play a pretty pass, can't they?

Yep. Donk for Neto.

 

[prawnking]

Neves goal seems a long time ago. Need to do better against this depleted side

 

[Jinky]

Been completely outplayed since taking the lead. Good reaction from Leicester but really, really disappointing from us. Not keeping the ball anywhere near well enough and little to no hold up play. Since his assist, Raul has been abysmal.

 

[Tony Towner]

Strange yellow for RAN. Didn’t even touch him and Leicester were happy to crack on!

Lost a bit of control and balance here. Would like a period of possession and no Leicester pressure, please.

The booking was for the earlier dive
