We've gone from one of the most exciting teams to watch to one of the worst to watch. Give me 20% possession every game where when we get the ball we just attack with intent and speed. We've got an ageing squad which is probably a benefit as we will have enough experience not to worry about relegation but I can't wait for changes.

It's an extra £20 an hour for them to pretend to enjoy themselves

That's two weeks running where we've seen what a bonus having someone who can take very good set-pieces brings to a team (unfortunately for the other team!). I love Luka, but we need to improve in this area. We have big players who are very good in the air but nearly every time the ball just floats into the box. Maddison made the difference today and as much as he looks like he is a smug git his set plays and passing was way above anything we could deliver.

I feel a bit bad constantly complaining about one of our own players, but seriously, what does Schlupp bring to central midfield? He gave the ball away which led to the second goal and even failed to show the desire to win it back. He had one deflected shot but aside from that I don't remember him contributing anything positive.

I expect us to lose a fair number of games, but this is probably the most boring we've been since coming back up. I really hope Townsend is back for next weekend as with just Wilf and Ayew as our only attacking threat we look f**king awful.

I will say that I thought McArthur was one of the only players to stand out today. Some neat play and dribbles and tenacious as ever.

I was behind the goal and apportion no blame to the keeper for either goal. Our defenders need to learn how to head corners away and how to mark in the box.

It was never going to be an easy game against Leicester.

The Leicester players just seemed happier... Smiling, joking and clearly enjoying their football. Not sure Zaha ever broke his sullen look all game.
