Decent first half I thought.

That guy who shoved Mac Allister over from behind should definitely have got a yellow!

Seems a bit of hubris has crept in after the Chelsea game. Going for exquisite little passes, and failing, instead of playing the easy ball to someone with space to run.

A few quick changes, and it could improve dramatically, though.

Poor first half. Giving the ball away every time we have possession.

That's just not true.

Methinks too much comparison with the performance against Chelsea. We're never going to play that well every game. We're not great today but still doing all right away from home against a good side.

Sloppy, and now we know what we are capable of, disappointing.

Still 0-0, and nothing a quick Zoom meet can't sort :thumbsup:

Poor quality half of football objectively from both sides, Leicester edging it. Lookman really should've scored. Sloppy on the ball and some tired looking players out there (Moder especially) and Maupay having a bit of a stinker. Burn playing really well.

Still, holding them at 0-0 and would be delighted with a point however it comes.

It seems the ball is kicking up at funny angles, happening for both teams. Can't blame Maupay for all of the misplaced passes....although he's not helped himself with his pass selection

Not sure if I'm imagining it, but also seem to be more players slipping than usual. Almost as if the pitch has been over watered.

Anyway, no excuses. We've been poor first half, especially compared to recent performances. Glad to be going in all square at this point.

Hopefully we can turn it around 2nd half.

For a team with an ethos based on possession of the football we aren’t half shite at keeping hold of it sometimes

Defended solidly, but been our own worst enemy elsewhere, constantly giving the ball away very cheaply. Need to tighten up a lot, can’t get away with that forever.

They watered the centre of the pitch for ages before ko

Bring on Lamptey now (Gross) to change the whole impetus of the match. Don't wait to go 1 down.

I think Groß has been one of our better players actually. Do have to laugh though whenever he gets in a foot race or 50/50 though. Love the guy but he isn't the quickest sprinter!
