This isn't great. Poor passing and movement all across the midfield, and generally speaking the game is being played too slowly.
 
Drinks breaks across the Premier League, apparently.
Definitely happening at Palace and West Ham, at least.
 
Dembele's definitely been told to shoot more. Better attempt.
Then he's in the book, despite appearing to get pulled back first. Odd.
 
Callum Wilson at the double at the Boleyn. 2-0 Bournemouth.
Russell Martin levels things up for Delia's mob, though.
 
Did Lamela just get booked, too? No consistency here. Waist high foul by Drinkwater?
 
Really slow and lethargic possession football, followed by a sloppy giveaway.
We had games like this in the pre-season and the introduction of Carroll really helped.
Can't see it happening though, to be honest.
 
This sounds like a poor match from us but at least we are still hanging on in there against the league leadera
 
We look utterly lost. The worrying thing is that Leicester are no mugs, and they will punish us, if we don't find our rhythm quickly.
 
Mahrez and Vertoghen pulling each other's shirts and Trevor Francis only sees one. Twat.
Another awful pundit who's been ****e for many, many years, yet still gets employed.
 
And they said N'jie "wasn't ready" how bad must he have been at training this week
 
Kane with his first real sight of goal and it comes from a Lloris kick.
Shanked out for a throw in. <doh>
We've given him absolutely no service and little support.

Just to prove my point, here's his touch map:

We play like of a team playing with
- a centre back in midfield
- Moussa Dembele, Mr Ingenuity himself, as our main playmaker
- without Eriksen, normally the one we look to to make things happen the most
- with no conviction in our ability (if it even exists) to get heads up and play the ball forward with any pace and regularity

Get some ball players on, not just a lump like Dembele, get Dier off because frankly he's doing **** all that anybody else couldn't do in that position. And please let the players who have a semblance of quick mind and bodies be back for the next game.
 
All opened up a bit at the end of the half... Kane involved but ultimately that was a pretty ****e half of football from us
