Was this a surprise?

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I'm not surprised in the slightest. Any team with a bit of pace, technically adept players who work their bollocks off, will cause us enormous problems. We rely on poor opposition front men, and our strike force to bring home the goodies. If we look as though it might be a game that needs chasing, too many of our players seem to accept it and do little to overcome it.

It's not a surprise to anybody. We all knew exactly what Pellegrini would do, everybody does, that's part of the problem. Exactly the same will happen next week but probably worse.

No surprise. We are a team of expensively collected players that seem to have no training during the week on anything from setups, finishing, defending, set pieces, no ideas on how to control a ball and no leadership on the pitch, no desire and the laziest team i have seen for some time and a clueless manager. They have a well drilled, very organised team that clearly spends time in training on things and play to their strengths.

No surprise at all.

We live in hope but really shouldn't. MP has proved time and time again that he has no idea how to deal with teams like Leicester.

Not really. I know there has been a sentiment floating about this week about "winning it for Manuel". But I'm not buying it.

The players that know they are going to be sold know it and the ones that are staying know it. So i don't really expect any rallying effort at this point.

Not really. There's been too many times we've been an absolute disgrace this season. Once or twice can happen to any side but how many times have we been blown away this season? Not since the dark days have we had so many woeful performances in a season. It's easier to pick out the games we've played really well. I've not been that impressed with Leicester in either game against them this season but they wanted it more and looked very dangerous every time they attacked.

As soon as I saw the team it looked like Liverpool allover again. Why leave our 2 quickest defenders on the bench when speed was there strength.Sagna should have been in place of demi and clichy for Kolorov. I would be kind if I said Pellegrini got his tactics wrong because he doesn't have any.

All good teams have a strong basis, we just don't have anything and always look like concending goals

Not the least bit surprising and I expect similar next week.
