This happened probably about a dozen times since the turn of the year. Play well, score one goal, opposition equalises and all of a sudden we look terrified. We are very easy to score against (lost count how often I've written that), and we're looking at the same defensive issues we all saw since about dec/jan.

A team with Porro, Romero, VdV and Udogie should not be easy to score against. It's Ange's high risk system that leads to this. Sometimes it comes off - in the first half we totally dominated, didn't give them a sniff and should have scored more. But they didn't have to do much at all to have us rocking, and it's one of the weakest teams in the league we're looking at here.

Bit Russian roulette at times, such dominace but struggle to convert.

We should be 3-0 up. Still, we don’t have the firepower to put these games to bed

And this is why the argument of it being "The first game of the season, stop melting" doesn't really hold weight because irrespective of if we win/lose/draw the game here, the system still has huge flaws that are leading to these defensive issues and based on the evidence so far they haven't been fixed.

4 subs to save the game against fucking Leicester.

It's all a bit desperate Dan isn't it?

Hopefully Ange gets over his runners fetish and begins to start actual footballers in this team.

Sarr and Johnson completely pointless against inferior sides. Fine if you want to sit in and counter I suppose but the ball just dies with them.
