Defensively it is much better, I don't think anyone can deny that. Soumare has to get closer to Trippier (or even better bring him off for Mendy). Maddison for Nacho and I'd even consider Barnes for Vardy at some stage if we're sticking with this shape

No, thank you. We are lucky not to be down 2-0 already. We have no attacking threat. Evan if we want to keep the defensive shape, we need players who can at least string a few passes together. We need Madders on for Ndidi. Madders can do a job defensively where Ndidi is. Or Mendy.

 

I wouldn’t mind to also try Mendy for Soumare. 

 

Daka on for Vardy at some stage when Vardy tires.

Spurs were like 4 or 5 down by this point 

 

I was thinking this after 20 minutes.

[Corky]

Barnes on to get us up the pitch.

 

Nice to see tactical fouling praised 

[HUNTA84]

We've got to be due a late winner at some point with an absolute shithouse performance

If you guys think we're getting even a point from this game you need to come down off your delusional clouds. These players should have been fined 25% off the wages from January onwards for each game. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Even if Bruno had been (rightfully) sent-off, you just know it would still have been one-way traffic towards our goal.

[BenTheFox]

I'm still finding it hard to believe that we are THIS bad.

Daka on pls, Vardy doesn't have the legs for this game plan

Or try Barnes central. He can at least dribble alone if isolated.

I would put amartey on for Thomas who is the weak link and maddison on for tielemens who has done very little 

Great plan, there’ll be no weak link then.

Soumare needs hooking.

 

I don’t think it’s through lack of effort, but he is (and always will be bar the odd game) so far off it. 
 

Constantly in no-man’s land. 

Thing is. 

 

Castagne is playing the RWB role okay other than the first 10 minutes were ISAK done him every time with the give and go. Thomas needs to play a little higher like Castagne. 

 

Soumare is having to do the marking out wide and why he's looking lost.

Utterly disgusting performance... 

 

It might be a disgusting plan (it's not) but the effort put into executing the plan is pretty decent. Which is a massive upgrade on the last couple of weeks. 

 

[jayfox26]

Ref needs to toughen up 2nd half. Cant keep allowing their tactical fouls to go unpunished. I know Isak eventually got booked but they could have easily had a few more yellows. Bruno could also have been off. What was he even doing? An absolutely dreadful challenge! If that was the other way round then Newcastle surround the ref and its a red. Happens to us and our players do nothing and the ref gives a yellow. Whilst I don't like or condone getting at the ref, we are in a dire situation where we need any little gain we can.

Talksport were very excited about the tactical fouling and Howes subscription to this side of the game.

 

Its weird.

Same happened last week and Liverpool just passed around the midfield straight onto the back 4. 

 

The midfield 3 don't won't to, or been told not to engage, the problem being they are letting players run off and get behind them. 

 

Soumare is just marking space. Trippier will get a cross on a Newcastle head at some point. 

 

They’re all marking space mate, Ndidi just stands and watches as the ball gets pinged around, Tielemans doesn’t know who to go with. Midfield 3 looks like they’re being instructed, as soon as we’re out of possession they quickly retreat to that flat narrow 3. Problem is the amount of space between the lines. As you said, we give them so much space to run off us and thread the ball through.

I never knew Lawn Barber could be so gripping. Now looking forward to Tupperware Smart Range for my next hour of thrills and kicks. All on Sky 666

Can't carry on like this. As we get more tired, it's just a matter of time. Ndidi done very little. Presume Mendy injured.

Have to go for it at some point. We need to win. Even though we've two up front, it's like we are playing a lone striker, they've had so little effect.

I'll say 3-0.

I don’t believe Tielemans could get more tired tbh.

Amartey at left back ? 

[hebangsthedrums]

Not a clean sheet but to not be behind at HT is nice - clean pillowcase?

My stream is lagging but I'm pretty sure there are a couple of Leicester goals coming up 

[beepee1984]

After ending the half like that, I'm half expecting Amartey on for Iheanacho to sure things up at the back as we are still not handling set-pieces and Smith thinks we should sure things up at the back

[gw_leics772]

I think we've got to go for it now. Make the changes at half time. We've got no chance carrying on like this and I reckon howe will have worked out how to beat that first half tactics. He who dares rodders.
