I can’t stand porky reffing! Drives me insane, he’s always so bad

That's just not true, is it?

We've had one clear cut chance.

[winteriscoming]

I would take Mendy off and bring Thomas on. Move Fuchs to cb and put ndidi in midfield. Don’t want to see Morgan and Fuchs in a back 4. 

[Hammo]

So, Leicester. What are you made of?

 

Up the pace, turn their defenders, make their keeper work and we can get something out of this.

 

Keep circulating the ball slowly and giving the ball away cheaply and I doubt we will.

[Always Next Year]

Going to get nothing out of Mason but a red card, can see it coming.

His shot stopping is good from close range, he always looks suspect from long shots. Maybe cos he’s half blind.

Why? Cause he’s an albino?

This is West Ham, Aston Villa and Fulham all over again. We are so predictable and opposition generally just know how to play us.

Well  even one is rather more than literally nothing, isn't it?

But not Brighton or Burnley.

This presenter on Amazon is VERY Scottish isn’t he

[matty98]

Don't actually think we've been that bad tbh. Vardy does better with his header and Schmeichel makes a fairly basic save and we're winning. Fine margins

It’s ANOTHER typical Tielemans performance

Moments of lovely play, but generally marked out of the game by an opposition midfield that is bigger and stronger than ours

Ive said this before, if I was an opposition manager my first directive would be to stamp on Tielemans 

Dacoure is a good player 

Maddison is coming a bit too deep and with Justin and Under on the right (and Tielemans hanging more on right side of central midfield) Tielemans is not given the space to take control. We need to give him more control and space and perhaps we need Praet in for Mendy and Perez in for Maddison.

I’d snatch your hand off for a point here you know 

[Vazman]

Just hope we can get back into the game, with an early second half goal!

Saying all this, I feel we could get something out of this game. Get Mendy off, get Morgan on and bring Wilf into the midfield to provide the strength and ‘legs’

Agreed! This is why we need another CM imo.. Can’t just rely on Wilf to do all the dirty work. 

[sishades]

Plenty of possession but little creativity.  

[Fightforever]

Think we will get a point think we need to go on the attack though can't risk them having any more set pieces.

[hejammy]

Fuchs is our weak link. He's really showing his age unfortunately 

[Farrington fox]

Barnes looks knackered

You said we were passive and passing it around the back and it's not true, we've gone forwards every time with it. The only way we could be more direct would be playing long balls.

We have been passive which is what leads to the hopeful direct balls.

 

Moving it too slow, which mean we can't open them up, which leads to us going too direct as we run out of ideas.

 

The passing needs to be sharper and quicker. Being aggressive doesn't mean you have to be slinging the ball in the box, it about playing with  a tempo that make the opposition feel uncomfortable.

 

Do you think we have made things uncomfortable for Everton?

No changes = no ambition

Dunno, but it’s no coincidence that it used to say sponsored by spec savers in the match day program.

We don’t do draws mate. 

[foxfanazer]

I'd have preferred an immediate change at half time to be honest

He had the ball whacked at him from Fuchs
