Hate football.
Most of you lot will blame and point fingers in your rage but we played well. They scored from two worldies, we miss two sitters and two 1v1's and (need to see it again) should have had a pen? (or did Rose kick the ground?).
Thought Lamela was superb, all you Lamela haters watch that again, THIS is what he does almost every game he plays for us! Apart from him no-one really shone, though everyone was on it for 2nd half. Dele was industrious and had a good tempo throughout, if he was dispossessed he hunted the ball back down and won it back.
The bad stuff was not playing with a DM (I know we didn't 2nd half) but the 2nd goal would have been prevented by someone screening back four or at least addressing Marhez, rather than have him 1v1 on Vertonghen. First goal, well you can't really do much about that. Thought we pressed a little bit better than in previous games but nowhere near our usual intensity and coordination. For those demanding Rose to be in the side it's clear he is miles from ready, so when he doesn't play let's trust the boss because he needs to be managed back into a rhythm and fitness.
Thought Dier was very poor, got caught flat-footed a few time and committed himself, he has this annoying trait creeping into his game with very lazy passes was can great as it looks like he's too languid. Seen Eriksen getting some clog but thought he was one of our better players in first half, but he dipped dramatically in the 2nd half, looked gassed.
Fucking shocking result but the performance, especially 2nd half wasn't too bad.

That free kick time wasting was one of the wildest things I've seen. Are the refs afraid to give cards for time wasting? Even the Leicester players looked anxious for their cunt to kick the ball.
Dier needs a rest or some bench time, whenever he gets the ball he is slowing us like shite or giving it to opposition.
People will blame any one rather then admit the truth that this squad isn't quite good enough to win the league.
No shame in that. After all, we are up against teams with much bigger resources & who are more willing to buy.
Today's result was disappointing but to be fair we missed lots of chances and made Leicester defend for almost the enitre game. They did what we expected them to do which was to hit with pace on the counter.
On another day we stick 2 or 3 of those chances away.
That's football for you though-a couple of weeks ago we were on top of the world after beating Real Madrid, tonight we lose at Leicester and fans go into meldtown. We'll have good times again soon and results like these will be forgotten

People who thought we played well, what did you see that gave you this opinion?
Apart from the last 10 minutes, I swear we were horribly off the ball tonight, lacking in any creativity or passing accuracy in the final 3rd

it was a rhetorical question tbf. Lamella looked like he'd never been away.
I'm still fucking fuming, though. Glad I gave my ticket away.
Quick note on Sissoko
Can't blame Lloris for the goals mate, they were both top draw.
Sissoko is grim, a truly terrible first touch. Get rid end of....
All above make sense.
Bottom line we lost and we are on a bad ran and it's getting serious.
We haven't.
Let's pick a scapegoat now, shall we...
That's one thing super jan fan is not! WBA obviously felt like a loss as we expect to beat them so he made a slip up with his statement. You have turned itin to a big melting thing, which it isn't.
Agree with all of this, except for the line about Dele who I thought was awful
The crazy thing is this tweet is not even an attempt at sarcasm!
