And Dunk.
Not so sure today I think Connolly = more of the same.

We missed Dunk as our back 3 were all awful and having him there would have helped the other 2 of them.
A bad day at the office

Stupid IDIOT
The defence were like headless chickens without Dunk and that spread through the whole team
The first half we looked like they had had their xmas piss up a month early last night

And Leicester were very good. So quick to close us down, didn't allow us to play our passing game.
Yes, this. Today showed how vital he is, though whilst I understand the rationale, to have Duffy playing on the right of the three rather than central was slightly strange.

We started to in the second half and then they cut through us like butter for their first goal

We were ok but a bit toothless and panicky at the back, but we were playing an excellent team. Very quick to retrieve the ball and attack but also very solid at the back. We were as ineffective as Leicester were effective.
To not even test Schmichael once the whole game was very disappointing

We were never at the races against their zippy attack. We just looked laboured and shot-shy by comparison.

Vardy has done the same to far better defences to ours. He is seriously rapid.
Vardy is fast. He showed the difference at this level. I like the passing from the back but it takes ages to get to their goal and then we seem scared to actually have a pop
We never stood a chance.

I had today and next week down as the game that exposes Potter’s style with our lesser players and a good chance of a heavy defeat. I am disappointed but not vaguely surprised about what happened today. Hopefully we can get away as lightly next week.
Put it another way, when did we last look remotely capable of beating a top six team in form? Yes we’ve beaten an on strike United team twice and an out of sorts Spurs side, other than that I just remember us being put to the sword and being outplayed.
We have some pretty demanding fans although it would be nice to give these sides a decent game one day, most other teams like us pull off the occasional big shock. Not something the Albion have done since we got promoted.

I feel we're progressing, still.
Vardy was an absolute nightmare today. Respect to him that he's bloody everywhere, chasing and chasing absolutely any and all sniffs of a chance. I think it eventually unnerved our defence.
Maupay seemed to be the only one who was up for doing the same for us.
I wasn't embarrassed today. The better team won but we gave a fairly decent account of ourselves and weren't spanked.

Connolly not so much because we could have played Kane, Lewandowski or any other world class striker you can name and it wouldn’t have made a difference. The attackers had no supply or support to work with at all.
Alzate on the other hand we missed massively IMO. I’ve said it before but if he’s not already, he’ll be recognised as our best midfielder before too long. Alzate and Mooy need to start every game when fit.
