I freely admit many on here understand tactics better than me, so - genuine me question - can someone please explain what we're trying to do in possession, other than break? I just don't get it.

We can still win this. The last and only time Leicester lead us at HT, we won 5-4

Defending well but Lo Celso is not linking up play between midfield and Kane/Son very well, he's taking too many touches on our breaks.

He has been getting on the ball and contributing more than most, but it's a little too slow. He can be the difference today but needs to speed it up IMO

Either that or switch him out for Bale/Bergwijn

Nothing. We are set up to counter.

Look for space behind their line as quick as possible

Fofana was heading away from goal on the corner of the box. Aurier needs a sports psychologist. How can he keep being picked after this consistent madness. He was in great form but hes the scorpion who'll always sting you .

This is rubbish and boring.

Don't understand this win at all costs mentality that has contaminated our club.

It's like selling your soul to the devil.

Unfortunately for all Aurier's improvement this season, that kind of thing will never leave his game and will cost us goals. To go in on a oppo CB like that when he is heading away from goal is just an utterly bizarre and brainless piece of defending.

Not been an enjoyable watch. Almost feels like we are relying purely on them making a mistake or catching them on the counter. Very little in terms of looking to carve out opportunities. Not got Ndombele on the ball enough or look to find Regullion out wide in dangerous positions. Likes of Kane and Son spending much more time chasing and closing down. Disappointing.

I will take Sissoko and maybe also Lo Celso off for Vinicius and Bale. We need more bodies upfront to worry their defence. Son and Kane are too deep to trouble them at all. Vinicius and Kane/Son as the front two.

Badly need a magic from Bale. Please for the sake of all of us.
That’s easily what should happen at half. Gio’s been so poor. As has Sissoko. And no we’re a goal behind in a must win game. Have to go for it.

That penalty replay is so annoying, what the hell is he thinking ffs
God knows, it was a needless challenge on their CB who was going away from goal. No danger other than that what Aurier created. Sissoko shouldn’t have been out jumped for the first header with his height advantage over the Leicester player either. Two poor pieces of play.
 

Who’s our next manager?

Our football is rubbish of late, as if our players do not train together. Aurier is a clown again,
.
A decision has to be made about handball in the area. If hits an arm accidentally it’s officially a penalty except when it hits the arm of a defender playing against us.

I'm not that bothered, needed something to happen. I think we'll get 3 goals second half...

One thing that won't happen is us scoring three second half goals, I could be wrong, but I very much doubt it.

We look really, really shit.

It's amazing how bad we look at playing football considering some of the players we've got on the pitch.

Lo Celso, N'Dombele, Son and Kane should be a recipe for liquid football.

I think we're fucked now we've got to go in search of a goal, think Vardy will hit us on the break. Hope I'm wrong and being down will force us to actually take the ball and do something with it.
