They really should have been out of sight by half time. There are loads of crap teams this season, ourselves included, so I wouldn't dismiss them completely. The big difference was we wanted to win it more (and we obviously have a far better team, not that you'd have it for most of this season).I think the two worst sides I've seen this season are Leicester and Hull. Of course, both teams who have beaten us this season.That's our problem - losing to sides we should beat, frequently in matches where we have been better than them. Hull were a great example. They were utterly crap, truly shit, yet still managed to beat us.I thought Leicester were truly awful yesterday. The difference was that, in the second half at least, we started to look like we were playing, if not at our best, much better than we have done for ages.Although they were horrific to watch, it wasn't the likes of the recent defeat at Arsenal or even shipping eight goals at Chelsea that did for Lambert, it was the frequency with which we'd play awful teams (like that lot yesterday) and manage to come away with nothing. That was why the "but he's not had much money" argument never really did it for me - too many poor, poor results against awful sides.I said this the other day, but under Lambert we managed to be both "almost a really good team" and "pretty awful" at the same time as he could never dot the i's or cross the t's to get us looking more like the completed article.For all the months and months of awful results, Sherwood is in a good position, as it really won't take much to massively improve this side, he just needs to identify the problem (ie the midfield issue, which, frankly, a one-eyed man on a galloping horse could spot) and fix it. The second half yesterday was a great example of how one not particularly mind blowing change can see us dispatching awful sides like Leicester, rather than making them look decent.

One conclusion you can draw, Leicester are crap.
Sinclair was stripped ready to come on a minute before Bacuna scored but the sat down. Then when he did come on got the second. It was like the Gods were smiling on us for a change.Much changed atmosphere in the Holte too, even during the sterile first half.

The big difference was we wanted to win it more (and we obviously have a far better team, not that you'd have it for most of this season).Out of sight with one shot on target? From my view we were their equal in the first period and that only because we had that tendency to gift them the ball on plenty of occasions. It would be easier to list those of ours who didn't pass the ball to the opposition. 2nd half was more like how I like seeing us play. Continually pressing and getting forward even though the midfield did better than normal in this respect they still don't make enough movement for my liking. I'm sure Gil will improve this and I'm equally sure Delph will have more effective games too.
Hutton, legend in the making.
I do like it that Vlaar carries the ball forward on occasion into the other half.
I thought it was Weimann at first until I looked at the number on his shorts.
Is it just me or is Delph looking a bit old and chubby?
