I'm certainly not writing off Son as he has shown that he has ability he just needs to be told to release the ball sooner as he did in his first couple of games. But N'jie to me has nothing to offer the side at all.

How many games has Njie started for us?

Our set pieces aren't that shit - we've scored more from them than any other side in the league this season.

I recognise that - thus me saying a wordie will float in and we score. But many times the corner taker fails to cross beyond the front man - i just can't understand why deliveries aren't more consistent. Particularly from someone like Eriksen who can pretty much put it where he wants from a free kick.

didn't catch the game live, now managed to catch both the OS highlights and MOTD one, seemed to me we did not play that bad.. Schmeichel seemed on the top of his form to save those efforts from Eriksen, Alli and more importantly Kane..

I did not need to see the whole match to see our ref was crocked the moment he gave a free kick to Leciester a soft foul from Eriksen..

the corner that got us conceded the goal was just prime poor defending.. but hell they took these limited chances and they got rewarded.. I kinda agreed to Verts saying their are playing forward balls only to rely on their pacy players to run on... they got me chuckled as well seeing they had consecutive shots at one point towards our goal but were missing the targets altogether but hitting their own teammates.. hah! they surely have their goalie to thank for!

anyway, we really need to score as early as possible and stay ruthless in games now.. this not only draw the opponents out, but also gave them more confidence to score more... we were just really damn unlucky for this match..

and the rest of the 93 min of the match?
BTW, I just looked at a table of goals conceded from corners this season. We have let in two, on a par with the West Ham, West Brom and Arsenal; only Palace have let in less, 1. These may be facts you might wish to look at again, and yes I am aware that that doesn't relate to tactics per se.

If our high pressing style doesn't get us ahead early in games and with no other proper striking options we are clueless and can't break teams down.

Apart from Bournmouth when have we won from going behind?
