i was so optimistic and pretty confident before the game but when i saw we were missing Rodrigo and Raphinha i guessed we might be in for a tough night. over 100 million pounds worth of talent sat in the stand if you include Phillips and Llorente; i know Leicester had some injuries too but they showed they have a class deep squad by still having a player like Maddison to bring on and make a difference where we were left with a green poveda and a, imo, out of his depth at this level Tyler Roberts.we were bloody awful for the first 25 minutes, miss placed pass after miss placed pass, slips and errors everywhere and leicester fully deserved a 2-0 lead without having to do a great deal. all that said Bamford missed 2 sitters and had he nodded that first minute header in as he should the whole game could have panned out differently. we were better in the second period but leicester always had our number on the night although 4-1 flatters them a little but its another lesson learned hopefully.
on to Palace. They are a very limited, dour but functional team that will definitely sit in and look to Zaha. aside from that and set pieces they shouldn't cause us too many headaches. The worry as mentioned above is we struggle to break the park the bus teams down and without the class of Rodrigo and probably Raphinha again its hard to see where the goals come. quite simply we need Bamford to be clinical if he gets his 1/2 chances in the game or it could be another frustrating game.
