God we would be some team if our defence was solid. So frustrating.

Jones and Blackett with Smalling and Rojo as cover.The goal gave them some impetus and mometum, we have to score early in the second half, or I can see them sneaking a goal late in the game.
He's not a LB.Nervy defending but we did well. We're creating chances.Our FBs have been garbage, Rojo absolutely gash.I'd bring Shaw on. Rojo seems an absolute liability. Seems to have no awareness of danger whatsoever and doesn't even seem to have the pace to match up to their winger. We're getting destroyed down his side.Shaw on for Rojo at Half time please.We need another if we are going to win it. Every time they attack we look vulnerable. Some mouth watering stuff going forward though.Need to get more tighter at defending and should retain ball more in midfield to slow Leicester's occasional momentum.
No way, did he actually say that?
Yeah our worst player clearly. If he plays like that in the 2nd half, we should bring in Shaw.Shaw really needs to get his chance now! Out with Rojo and then save the last for Januzaj in minute 70
Which part of what I said makes you feel nervous?
Leicester have caused some of these big teams problems. People who think we'd get an easy ride going away from home in the league are mistaken.
It's been decent so far from us.We look good going forward, and not so good at the back, which is worrying. We'll need 1/2 more goals in the 2nd half if we want to win this.3rd match with decisive mistakes from the referees against us so far.
That too. Fecking blind linesman.
He reminds me of Beckford.
I feel better no that it is half and with Smalling. It is obvious that he is a better defender than Evans.One thing I'm really worried is that LVG has a record of not sorting his defense out when the team is conceding goals. In both Barcelona and Bayern, he never had a top top defense, so I'm worried that he isn't gonna sort our defense out.Thank the lord for Blackett.Leicester a decent side, will need to work hard to get the 3 here. Blackett has been great. Rojo not so much. Would like to see Shaw. I still don't like the front 3 setup. Mata would add a lot.Do we have photographic proof the ball was past the by line?
The American broadcast didn't give us a clean look.Strange Malaysian commercials on this stream
I am actually getting a bit annoyed at RvP. He is not moving at all without the ball. Not dragging defenders away, not tracking back. Just far too static overall and he is just clogging up lanes where our midfielders normally can penetrate into but he got a goal so I am probably the only one who feels that way
And when we play the ball from the back , we looking for that pass on the deck, not hoofing the ballWhat an amazing goal by that panic buy DiMaria.Hmmm, first 10 minutes aside (where we looked like we would score with every attack) we've been pretty poor. The defence looks a mess, Evans was terrible, Rojo looks shaky, Blind is having a shocker, and Falcao looks pretty average.
On a positive, Blackett has been fantastic, Di Maria and Rooney very good, and RVP has finally got his goal.Rojo and Rafael were not too good. Rooney was amazing. Falcao was average apart from that fantastic assist.
Rojo will start at CB when Shaw is fit.We better score 2 or 3 soon or Leicester gonna snatch a draw at the least.Really want to see Shaw come on he's our best LB.
Tempting fate I guess
Didnt know that.We became a bit sloppy after the second goal and we really shouldn't have conceded straight away. But overall it's not bad. We need a bit more bite, pressure them more.good half, we look very good going forward, a bit suspect in the back though. With Smalling in I hope it will look better.Falcao, Rooney and Di Maria looking sharp in attack and Blind and Herrera working hard, but I find myself gritting my teeth every time our back 4 has any work to do, Rojo off for Shaw at half time would be a good move IMO.Pretty happy with that half. We just need to impose ourselves on the game more, because when we do we look a real threat. Haven't seen our attacking play this dangerous in ages. Leicester are having good spells in the game when they try and force it from midfield. Herrera, Blind, Di Maria and Rooney need to compete to control it better. A bit concerned at how many times we're letting them run freely at us. They're getting too much joy. Just imagine how good we can be if we tighten up our defending as well?
He could very well save us some money in future- Status
