Starting 11 is: Elliot, Janmaat, Taylor, Lascelles, Colback, Sissoko, Anita, Shelvey, Wijnaldum, Perez, Mitrovic Subs: Darlow, Sterry, Saivet, Townsend, De Jong, Riviere, Doumbia
I wonder if they'll turn up, as they surely must, and how much more effective they'll be when they really go for it .... I'm sure Rafa will have given Colback some tuition about being careful to play in his position at left back.
In Mumbai. Tried everything to watch the game. Can't seem to get any streams to work like usual and now tv doesn't work abroard. Gonna have to do something about this for the derby!
For me, Anita/Perez both awful and I cannot work out why our best passer - Shelvey - gives it to the CB's to hit it long.
We have so many players not doing the basics. Sissoko. Bad. Janmaat thinks the ball is a hot potato. Perez on Tyneside still. Our passing dreadful. Gini: not interested. But for me if sissoko never plays again I wouldn't care. He is the most over rated footballer I have ever seen.
Wij didn't looks interested for the first 20 mins, serious joke. Shelvey needs to realise Leicester have figure out his Hollywood balls so drop it. Mitro reminds me of tht player when you were young that was awesome but has just turned **** no matter what he does, like his body has grown too quick for his brain. Doumbia on! Rafa better have a go at sissoko, don't steal your strikers chance whether u rate him or not. Lascelles looks a bit clueless tbh. Perez in wrong position, needs central. So fix ALL of that and I'll be happy
We're still in it at half time. I think that our passing game is hardly brilliant but we're playing against a confident side, who break quickly. Rafa will probably make a couple of changes. We could still pull something out of this.
Surprised at the negative comments. I was quite pleased with that first half. For me I am only looking for signs that the basics are going in the right direction. There are no passengers on the pitch. Don't think I've ever seen either Janmmat or Sissoko run as fast as they have tonight. The heads haven't gone down. We're trying new things. They aren't always coming off, but we're only 3 days into Rafa's coaching.
