I believe Izzy (and yes he was awful today) did speak in the past couple of days about his defensive training which doesn't come natural to him, well, not the way it is drilled into him at Lancing anyway.

If you had the choice of a team focussed on surviving in the EPL where you were paid 10 x more than you would elsewhere, I bet you would.

Partially, but if you sit back and invite play on this will happen.
Kayal is to blame for our lack of anything remotely resembling a chance at goal for 70 minutes ?

The tactics are to blame for this one, if we were 2 or 3 up it wouldn't have mattered.
He was pretty animated quite a few times in the second half - urging the back four to defend higher up the pitch. It's not all down to him - the players have to accept quite a bit of the responsibility as well.

Can't blame him. Maybe Ali J will be the next one to want out of this system.
March used to show great attacking promise, now he's regressed into a wing who tracks back more than he goes forward.

To be renamed wing backs

I would agree with you on that, but he has either employed a bunch of negative players or it's been coached into them as this is on constant loop IMO.
I don't feel you can give 11 players the responsibility of that, I think if CH shouts from the side they jump and then ask how high.

I am glad someone else has seen this, I suppose yet again because he defends so much now he has had more games, I bet he is gagging to use his forward ability.
Poor lad is being stifled, I will give it that he is a better defender, but how many can you have.

People pay their money, they can quote half a post if they like.
Watched on a stream.
Not sure it's all down to tactics.
We seem unable to deal with teams that really press us, as Leicester did in the 2nd half especially after Vardy came on.
We panic and can't pass or retain possession.
Our response is to pass the ball backwards or sideways and that invites teams on to us.
We've got to deal with the press better. It's crazy that a 10 man team can do it successfully against us.

So it’s down to tactics then!
Yeah, it's negative tactics that we can't deal with a press!

Trouble is, our negative tactics are shit and we lose points through them. We aren't the 1-0 to the Arsenal that knew how to do it, we are shocking at it and today was more proof.
