    I'd actually like to see Casemiro and Fred in the centre, wiith Erikson in front of them. Bruno is so wasteful at times. I'd just like to see those 3 in a few games.

    Yeah this pretty much. New keeper, and our two other forwards in and we are up 3-0 at half here.

    Credit to McT and Bruno, both much more composed today and it shows in how we’ve played. McT isn’t hiding and Bruno isn’t playing with a shot clock.

    Agree. Very impressed with Bruno's game. He's managed it well and has actually taken care of the ball which is so unlike him.

    When I saw his first pass going to a Leicester player, I just rolled my eyes and thought to myself that we were in for another Bruno give away the ball fest, but surprisingly he's been tidy which is the most encouraging part of this game and hence why we've managed to be a lot more in control in midfield. No free balls to Leicester.
     
    Rashford is trying to play as if he has Drogba's strength in shielding the ball, he should try to get away from the defender sticking to him and try to use one touch quick passes and get away from his marker.

    Great assist though, and created another chance too, he starting to look better but needs to play more smartly and not try to physically contest with defenders as it's not his forte.

    On the team good first half overall but they can certainly do much better, the Foxes will come out storming in the second half and our players must be focused and go for a second and a third goal.

    One thing you have to say for McTomminay is he seems to have a strong character. He will be aware of the heavy criticism he has come under from the fan base but he’s kept going and is currently playing really well, and I’m not generally a fan of his.

    McT has played good ball since that Brentford loss. He's one of the players who has benefitted most from ten Hag thus far. Hope it continues.
     
    Rashford broke up three attacks in 30 seconds. Assist aside, he's been absolutely awful.
     
    We have been so horrendous with the little slight touch lay offs that it’s laughable

    If you're going to play risk takers like Bruno you need someone with some composure in midfield. McTominay just doesn't have the quality.

    He's useful in a counter-attacking side.

    Precisely, we don’t have balance in the currently, hopefully ETH can identify it too before it’s too late and Leicester get back into this game.

    for me it isnt getting too carried away, in either direction. Some people are acting like we are up 5-0 and smashing in every way. There have been weak points to the half, and are only up 1-0 and allowed a couple good chances to leicester.
     
    We lack precision and in the end of first half we also can thank Leicester for not being precise ( we were unorganised defensively

    The good thing is that we move the ball faster than before and run with higher frequency.
     
    Rashford just can't beat his man, ever.
    You'd think like 1 out of 5 attempts could go through just by luck but nope.
