Slot is about to get another yellow soon

Trent is having a poor game yes a couple of good crosses but far more poor ones

Hook Darwin and bring on Jota

Agree. He isnt doing anything. Should be 5th choice.

Not showing any patience in the build up

With Nunez we need to release the ball early, we go sideways and sideways until the are packed solid in defence.

Meh, we have to play much better than this, even our counter attacks are much too slow and Leicester running back in an excellent and well organised manner. They have defended much too well for us.

Unless the game looks very different in the second half (and I think and hope it will!), this smells much more of a 0-2 from a solid Leicester counter attack (their counters, while far and few apart, much more dangerous than ours).

This is reminiscent of 2014/15 when we just tried to keep dumping the ball in the box for Lambert to try and get onto

Didnt work then, either.

I can’t fathom how we manage to sky so many long range shots over the top.

You feel Jota is far more intelligent in his movement and has more chance to get on the end of the crosses

Gakpo crap control earlier when in on goal. Darwin would have been slated for that. We are not playing very well, and on the evidence so far, this is a game where we might be better with a lock picker like Cherki.

A nothing performance so far, worse than Newcastle this.

Wasted 45mins crossing into Leicester defenders.

Yep, Nunez just isn’t earning his spot.

At least the ref evened up on the yellows for bs fouls

Shocking

He was offside but a hard one to take down as the distance between him and the keeper was close

Yeah feels like we’ve had three or four second balls from Trent crosses that were screaming his name. Pratically gimmes.
