We look so low on confidence and that over anything else is why we look poor in my opinion. However we get it a win today would be huge for morale. Even Jairo can't pass. Leicester clearly targeting Mitchell who is struggling to get tight. Zaha needs to dig deep and try be an inspiration. Schlupp our best player so far in my view.

Leicester’s 1st team are good. We are currently playing their reserves who are very average but still more motivated, confident and better managed than us.

Originally posted by GlaziertoEagle While I agree Benteke hasn't done anything.. I'm not sure I could expect him to do anything. We've had barely any possession and the formation isn't working well. Townsend is hugging the touchline but has a man marking him all the time so he has no space. There should be plenty of space in the middle to be taken advantage of as a result but Schlupp and Zaha are basically hanging out in the same space, too high and wide to be helpful. And Luka is too deep. So we don't have any options at all to just link up and make short passes get us up the pitch. Long balls and tight passes on the wings are the only options we are providing which are low percentage and aren't working. Really need someone to sit in the middle.. if Zaha wants to play so wide, tell Jeff to sit in the middle and Jairo can cover over the the left side. Benteke can’t even hold the ball up so both Townsend and Zaha can run in to space he has absolutely no ground skills whatsoever and is far too slow!
