McAteer has done very well for his debut at a level much higher than he is used to. We are going to see more of him this season for sure. 

[bongo92]

Playing like we played the season after fa cup win. Lots of ball with little product. Boring.

[Bilo]

Nacho on at HT.

 

Need a creative midfielder or two. 

 

We're clearly a better side, but worried about them on the break and from set pieces.

[Sly]

What are the substitutions rule in this league? 

[The Doctor]

Winks bossing it but there's still a problem with the supply into the attack. Really need an upgrade on KDH/Ndidi going forward 

[CloudFox]

G'won McAteer! Lovely pass by Ricky P there.

[lee7]

Wingers need to trust themselves and attempt to beat their man. Both got pace in abundance but yet to see either attempt to go past their full backs 1v1. 

 

Think JJ would have more of a go than McAteer has. 

 

If we want to break Coventry down then we need to move the ball much faster. Similar to the last chance we just created

 

[jim5000]

Not too bad a half, but it does seem like 2-3 players are being played way out of position.

[kristianity77]

Impressed by that first half.  You can see our style of play in patches.  It's a lot quicker than last season.  But we have absolutely zero up top with an aging Vardy a complete passenger even at this level these days.

As an aside as female commentators go Pien Muhlensteen is very good 

Lovely not hearing the usual tripe from goodman and the other cliche loving freak that does efl games.

[foxes_rule1978]

Winks been excellent that half, we need to create more though and Coventry have looked dangerous on the counter

[RowlattsFox]

Only listening via talksport but sounds like we are carrying Vardy still. Need a striker that is involved more.

You’re definitely allowed to make some. 

[copunk]

Actually been pretty pleased so far 

Just need to stay switched on at the back 

Winks is different class, I know it's early days but the lad walks into a midtable Prem side 

[Bert]

When this starts to click, we’ll be very good. 

[21st Century Fox]

It's coming from a corner isn't it.

[Shaqq]

As expected we look really good in the build up but struggle to create as we lack the quality going forward. Winks way too good for this level, bossing it!

[Fox85]

Imagine what we would be like wirh 11 players on the pitch.

 

I know they said Vardy was starting but he is missing it seems.

[lcfcdamo]

Winks going to be best player in this division by a mile!!

Think there's a sin bin? 

and we can bring on 8 subs? 

[Dahnsouff]

Well on top but feel our defensive positioning is still suspect, as balls into the box end up as far more pint-pong than it should

[ARTY_FOX]

Should have scored but oh well. What happened when faes was about a yard out and left it? Couldn't see in the ground if was too far away. 

 

Kel will do wonders in this game (and system) I think

I think Iheanacho is much better suited to this system. 

[ACF]

Went away from the game to watch the women’s penalty shootout what did I miss

[sishades]

Harry Winks is way too good for this division, some great stuff from Maviddidddiiiiiddii and McAteer looks like he could have a great season. Overall complete domination but yet again Vards had not much to do. This is crying out for Kel and Daka.
