Leicester City 5 Manchester United 3

Just when you thought we'd turned the corner, we deliver such a bad capitulation that you wonder if we're back to square one again.

1) Wonderful Start
A front trio of Rooney, RVP and Falcao, backed by ADM, in front of Herrera and Blind, with a four man defence. Easy and awesome goals from RVP and ADM, what could go wrong?

2) Crazy Rafael Decision
It was crazy. First Rafael was obviously shoved off the ball blatantly, the he loses it and gets sucked into a dive. Penalty. And that was what changed the entire game. Four goals scored by Leicester thereafter. The referee Mark Clattenburg really had a nightmare of a game, giving Leicester two penalties and sending Tyler Blackett off.

3) The Capitulation
Thereafter, the entire defence crumbled. Smalling and Blackett just kept hoofing long balls all of a sudden and Leiceter came wave after wave. As Sam Allardyce properly put it, the defence was abysmal, but the real problem was that the team did not defend as a team. We were in sixes and sevens and that really was the beginning of the end. The entry of Mata actually made things worse actually.

4) Wayne Rooney The Lousy Captain
Once again, the decision to make Wayne Rooney a captain seems so horribly wrong. He makes all the mistakes and then goes on to blast everyone else. He also doesn't play like a captain should, bossing the game with more influence. Don't know why LVG can't see that.

5) All Is Not Lost
There are some positives though. Unlike last season. Firstly, our play is so much more exciting now especially when we're attacking. It always seems as though we'd score when we attacked initially. Secondly, the defence, abysmal as they were tonight, needs time to gel. Thirdly, Leicester City were actually good. At current rate, they'll probably end up in the top half of the table.

Next game is another tricky tie away to West Ham. If we don't start picking up wins, LVG might be in trouble.

Hopefully we sort the defence out.

GGMU!!!
