    All stems from the fact we can’t take a decent set piece.

    He only looked good because he ran back. That's all he did. He ran back. Good to have a defender with pace but if this was Bailly he would have killed Mahrez instead of just looking at him waiting for something to happen.

    If he killed Mahrez we'd be down to 10 men and he'd be out for the rest of the season and his United contract. He ran back, dissuaded him from trying to go on goal and delayed him so his team could reset. Everything you'd be told to do in a basic defensive training lesson.
     
    the old adage: you have to score when you are playing well. we didn't and leicester are damn difficult to beat once they go ahead. woeful defending from jones: just when I was praising him last week
     
    Can’t help but laugh a bit at how quickly the mood has changed in here after that goal. We actually started well for once and look decent going forward.

    Kinda annoying though, seems like there’s never a time when the whole team is playing well at the same time

    Other than back off what could Smalling have done to prevent the pass to Vardy?

    Put some pressure on him ffs. He clearly sees vardy coming so decided to play it safe." Not my fault here". Good defender would not allow mahrez so much freedom.

    Not the whole thing, but that was a very winnable challenge and he made no attempt to make it.

    Vidic, Rio, Terry, Cambell, Stam, Carvalho etc are taking that ball every single time.
     
    Don't think that was for de Gea to collect. Think they've scored a good counter attacking goal and people are looking for someone to blame.

    I was thinking more in terms of being unlucky. Twice he's fumbled while in possession, ending up with a goal kick and throw in. Having said that, he needs to do more with all his possession.

    Martial's off the ball movement leaves so much to be desired.

    Indeed, he just walks around offering nothing for anyone, should constantly be challenging his defender, instead waits until they’ve doubled on him

    He didn't just stand there. Smalling did well to actually catch up with Mahrez there and prevent a clear one v one. If Smalling took Mahrez down in that situation you just know Liescester were going to be awarded a penalty. Jones couldn't cover ground on Vardy like Smalling did on Mahrez

    Jones did not because he was jogging initially. The moment Vardy got in front of him, he should have been sprinting back. Smelling did all he did. Why on earth is Lindlof playing at RB?
     
    Pogba don't do that when we're behind.... it;s a waste
