I'm convinced Carranza is a competition winner. A modern day Ali Dia.

doing well against the Seattle Seahawks doesn't make you a good footballer? I'm shocked 

[Clever Fox]

Get Skipp of and Soumare or Hamza on 2nd half.

I don’t think we have. 
 

We have been a lot further forward tonight, which has exposed how bad Carranza is! 

You do wonder what they do all week at probably the best training facilities in the UK when they play absolute rubbish in the matches

Actually disappointed we're winning, massively papering over cracks. Then the prawn sandwich and happy clapping lot will be happy. 

I always want Leicester to win ... I struggle to understand your logic

Can one of our statto's see how many times Skipp even touched the ball in that first half

I counted 1 or 2 tbh

He offers nothing, but then most of the rest don’t offer much either

[whoareyaaa]

We really don't need 3 CM's in the championship at home or even away 

[squidsworth]

The football was poor but we do look more solid than usual and we're 1 up. Just not nice someone collapsed in p block not sure the outcome but didn't look good. If you were wondering what was going on, it was that.

Honestly, he just looks like a non-league player at best. Doesn’t have any awareness, runs like he is on cement, can’t finish, got a poor first touch, slow to everything.. 

[JimJams]

Anybody offer a running water alternative to Fawa?

Defensively we look less terrifying, so that was a serious plus.

The standards we measure by nowadays eh

His performance was as if you’ve broken your controller on FIFA and your players just casually jockey the opposition/ball.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Skipp just shadows the ref. A very bad player!

blatant, he reached out and punched it

I think VAR would have changed it to a free kick, though.

Not sure we can. He's here for the season.

Ayew must get a bonus every time he stops a counter

Surprised he didn't pass the penalty backwards

Luke Thomas may well have been our best player in that half in terms of chance creation. Let that sink in.

Ok

But if we have 2 it seems like we are playing with none.

Middlesborough have been awful but we have looked a bit more organised.

? I think we look absolutely lost and disorganised personally 

[Suzie the Fox]

Nelson didn't let himself down at all in the 1st half, just need to keep it up for another 45 and you can see him being a regular (at least a bench spot & cameos) 

[StanSP]

Literally said to the guy sitting next to me, few mins before the penalty that we never get them because we don't get up far enough

 

Was it outside the box? Boro players were fuming.

I think he thinks he's on the bench.

How can Sky say we only had 1 clear chance - I count 3

 

We had Okoli - all he has to do is touch the ball

We had Carranza - I don't know where the hell I am so going to smash it wide from inside the 6 yard box (should have laid it off)

And we had the penalty

Plus the overhit pass from Abdul that should of been better and put Carranza in

Agree. He's done well so far.
