This is very much a game of a mid table side vs one near the bottom of the table. We are playing to their level lacking the speed of thought and confidence to play to our level.

Our right-side is awful. That said, Digne need someone in front of him, Ramsey seems to be playing more central.
We need pace.

It's noticeable sitting in the North Stand that Watkins isn't making runs into that space either.  He dies usually, but don't know if it's something he's been instructed not to do.

Monchi needs to earn his corn this month.  Really need some pace and creativity.

Got a horrible feeling they'll have one shot and score . It's got that feel to it .

Pau is a loss in these types of games, he can spot a pass from deep to open things up. With him and Rogers playing our problem hasn’t really been creating stuff, but today we look very poor.

I'd take Bailey off and bring on Buendia.

This has got Vardy 0-1 written all over it unless we significantly improve.

He’s the only option on our bench for that area, but we’d be so narrow.

I would have hoped that a team with Bailey, Tielemens, Ramsey, Watkins, Barkley wouldn't rely on Torres to create something! Someone needs to step up and start picking passes and not always the safe/backwards option. I'm sure Emery will tweak it.

I feel for Bailey, his confidence is shot. Nothing he tries is working.

Their low block is strangling us, Tielemans is having to drop deep just to get on the ball. Losing McGinn hurt us and we are obviously missing Rogers too.

Mings is doing very well and dominating in the air.

Shocking for 42 minutes.  Better last 3 or 4.  But fuck me, Leon Bailey has been shite.  Should’ve been a pen (standard).

Wasnt a pen to be fair. Minimal contact on replay
