True, but I can see us breaking through eventually. Grealish has a case with some of those pen decisions; I think he will have a big say in the our opening goal when it happens.

He would have more of a say if he attacked a few players

Do people forget we'd sometimes have trouble breaking low blocks even with "tricky" wingers like sane/sterling? I mean FFS we won here from a vinny screamer.

Moving the ball too slowly. There isn't going to be gaps in a back 5 behind a back 4 if we don't move it quickly.

The gaps we do find are out wide, but we have little threat in the box from standard crosses with just alvarez against their 3 centre backs so it's down to the wingers, they either need to be hitting the byline and smashing it across or considering they're both inverted, cut in, take a man on and get a shot off. Grealish doesn't offer that threat at all and is pointless, Bernardo can do that but he's not a winger. Grealish off, foden on.

Foden on, a bit of energy and desire please. We can go top ffs

I’d put him on immediately.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Mahrez to come on and score a penalty?

on fergie time

 

[moh]

Wow

That was good!

 

[blundellbluemoon]

Where we had two proven forwards in Sterling and Jesus? No, I didn't mate.

Proven forwards my arse

 

[PlattLane70]

Need Bernardo more in this game

 

[TFC]

We’ve controlled it from the off, Leicester have done really well defensively. Simple as that.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Hard to play when the other team puts everyone behind the ball. If we can get one goal they will fold. Might have to be a scrappy one off a set play.

The worry if it stays like this is them getting one on the break.
