We are an average Premier team.

The problem with the defence is Mandanda, he is no better than Hennesey, in fact he not very good. Also having Dann injured doesn't help.

As I have mentioned before,at this point I cannot see Mandanda being an improvement on Hennessey.

Regards the game yesterday, we have to remember that Leicester are not Champions for nothing and are now undefeated in 20 Home games.First goal is always important and it was a bit of a shocker from a defensive standpoint.
What on earth was Kelly doing dropping off instead of running out and pressing Musa ? Kelly was too worried about the man outside and turned towards him but the danger was the man on the ball and Kelly just didn't do his job.

How long have we got to wait, he has been far from impressive so far. I cannot think of a top class save he has made, but I have seen him stationary as the ball flies past him into the net with him making no effort at all.
I want him to be a success, but not a great start, he is not commanding his defence, making them uneasy.

Mandanda needs to be given a break. I can't say I have seen anything outstanding but I haven't seen anything bad ether. A couple of goals where arguably if it had been Hennessey he'd have been slated on here but no clangers. Though yesterday came close.

I think Mandanda has on the whole settled well. Foreign keepers often take time to settle, look at DeGea he looked ropey at times.

Delaney is at last knockings but not as bad as many on here make out though I think he will be benched from next week.

We are an average PL team, which is an achievement in itself. Whilst we want to continue to improve, that improvement will not be linear, it is impossible. We are still 11th, 4 Pts off Europe and not at full strength. Chin up

This is a page for our opinions, well this mine.

We need to consider the mid field/ Against Lecister they were mostly ineffective and this cost us the game.

I think we should buy a reight back. What about Ward? Well I think we should play him in a midfield 3 with Puncheon and possibly Remy when he gets fit.

We can play 4 3 3 . Get Dan back into the defence 4 and keep Ledley McCarthur and Cabaye on the bench.

We've got to stop the opposition running through our midfield and move more bals forward to Zaha, Townsend and Benteche.

What do you think

I actually thought the midfield was good yesterday. We all see the game differently (funny game football ;-) My despair yesterday was the defence - I thought we defended poorly as a team, even Benteke didn't hold it up well enough up front putting the defence under pressure when he lost it? The defence has to be strong in this division and yesterday we weren't. We could have scored a few as well with the chances we had, but when they don't go in we need the defending to be better or like yesterday we will let in goals? For me we need two replacements at the back in the middle and left back. Can't see Tomkins being good enough as the replacement for Delaney alongside Dann? Perhaps I will be proved wrong. I hope so!
