There are big holes at the back for them.
Also, their back line and keeper are all making regular mistakes when pressured.
There will be more chances.

The main positive, we are getting chances out of them.

This match is crying out for Mahrez, he'll score if he comes on.

take off your blue glasses - he’s the number one ref in europe.

He’s also partially sighted

Get Dave on

For who?

I can't believe there was 3 defenders there and Benzema got there first.

We've played really well but the defence is letting us down again

The value of a decent cross that picked out the man, rather than the slap happy way we fire crosses in at times.

Fuck this strolling around and long ball from Eddie nonsense. Get it moving, quickly and on the deck.

Absolutely a high tempo and they won't cope, play at their pace and we could end up in trouble.

8 shots 2 on target, Real 4 with 3 on target, therin lies our problem

Bollocks.

He's been through twice and missed twice

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Good half city!!!

we just never seize the initiative and seize the moment, it's always the fear of past failings and vulnerabilities in the back of every performance in a big game and it costs us so often. If we played with the swagger we have in our locker we'd dump these out by a handy scoreline, it's all in our head. Hopefully the new signings can change the balance of mindset and mentality in our squad and we can get to the next level.
