We played OK, Sissoko needs to do one he's just not interested, Anita is poop.

 

We looked much more solid but still toothless, early days I guess.

Sissoko is definitely interested tonight man, twice he's closed down the keeper starting from miles out and he made up loads of ground for his header as well as covering for Colback. Wtf are you watching?

The touch, movement and interplay from Leicester's front three is lightyears ahead of anything we've produced in ages. They defend well and are set up well in midfield.

 

They're a bloody good side.

 

They are very quick in the final third which makes a huge difference.

 

Yep, just force you back with real speed. Makes them look dangerous every time they have the ball. It's not as it if they're a collection of gifted players; just good ones set up brilliantly and full of confidence. Makes football look so easy.

Leicester are indeed class. If this was under McClaren we would be 3 - 0 down at least.

 

Think we are doing very well. Optimism has seemingly given way to madness with some of the comments on here about our performance. Crazy shit.

Not bad, actually.

 

Much more organization so far. Shelvey has been too far back to do much going forward. Clearly tasked to be more of a shield. Anita is a jack of no trades, master of absolutely none.

 

Rafa has tried to keep it simple. Longer balls to start the attacks. We have gotten it into a few dangerous positions but we look so bereft of confidence upfront.

 

Pressing has been pretty well deployed. Mitrovic has been good in his role, too. Wouldn't mind seeing Townsend and de Jong off the bench at the 60 minute mark.

 

We have largely neutralized them, though, with a truly diabolical defence. So not too bad.

Think Mahrez is really gifted actually. Even the little things he does are so classy, and he makes it look easy.

Huge improvement from our recent showings. The team is fighting for each other and working as a unit. Really impressed how much of a difference you can see after only a few days with Rafa. The scoreline doesn't really reflect the match at all.

 

If I were Sunderland I would be nervous as fuck.

 

I don't know about that, we look powder puff up front.

I meant more as a group but you are right, love players that just glide on the ball like him.
