Delph is an average english midfield player (i.e. runs about a lot with a good engine) his passing, tactical awareness and positional play is bang average.

6 losses already (3 at home)
No back to back league wins since october
A defence that doesn't look organised
A midfield that doesn't look organised.
A manager that doesn't learn from his mistakes and continues to play the same way whatever happens.
There will come a time when the "in 4 trophies so everything's rosy" line just won't be a valid excuse anymore.

It was a dreadful day and the manager needs to take most of the blame for the way he set up the team. The slowest back 4 he could pick? against their speedy counter attack. School boy stuff.
However some of the players need a rocket.
Yaya- No desire and legs have gone. Ducked a 50/50 in first minute.
Sterling - Total waste of money. Is he any better than Lopez? Not for me. He won't take his man on, soft, poor control and hasn't got a football brain, doesn't know where to run. We've been ripped off Big Time. He's a £5 player not £50 million. Get Rid! Wish he got injured and not KDB.
Otimendi - Jumps in, rash, slow, any better than Mangala? Was he worth the money? No!
We've been predictable for months. Spurs will be the same next week and with trips to Anfield, Stamford Bridge and St Mary's, it's difficult to be positive in thinking we can win it.
Roll on summer and Pep and get some of the overpaid, overrated players out.

Well we will be 4th tomorrow if Arsenal win.We're lucky everyone else at the top is doing so shite cos we'd be 6th or 7th at the moment. Just praying we finish in the champions league places.
Absolute fucking disgrace today. Was so predictable how Leicester would play today yet zero thought seemed to have gone into team selection, formation and tactics. The players that were picked, with a couple of exceptions, showed so little desire and fight it was scary - losing out in tackles and headers all over the park. Owned by fucking Robert High, wtf!!! What happened to the battling qualities we used to have???

Now Spurs fucking winning.
This season has gone to absolute shit and we've got Pellegrini to blame for it.
We've been battered off Leicester, Stoke, Spurs and Liverpool. It's an absolute joke.
Top 4 is absolutely not a certainty.

Sterling's number one asset is pace - the same for Navas (yes I know he didn't play today!). In theory we should be able to break in the manner that Leicester do and add that capability to our game, but we don't.
We play one dimensional football that relies on us having (and keeping) possession, and eventually breaking down a team. The moment we face a team who are willing to win the ball back, or hold possession in their own right we struggle. Leicester are clinical on the break and in their finishing and we paid the price for that like most teams have this season.
Leicester were better than us. They thoroughly deserved the win.
The team should be watching Leicester videos as an example of how we need to have that option in our own game - to sit deeper and counter teams. Sterling and Navas should be two immediate outlets on the break - either left or right sided, with KDB or Silva plus Aguero through the middle. There's enough speed there to frighten anybody. Sadly we frighten nobody now.

As a slight counterbalance I thought Leicester were excellent and deserved their win.
They have a team where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. They play to their strengths - pace of Vardy, skill of Mahrez and energy of Kante and Drinkwater - and as soon as they went one up then the gamewas absolutely suited to them.
First time I've seen them live this season and I was really impressed - and if they win the league then it'll be an unbelievable achievement.
