Lack of fight

Where is the bloody fight. Poor decisions, nobody in the ref’s ear or squaring up to players. Knocked off the ball - lame appeal to the ref but no retaliation.
When their goalie went down injured, we had the ball in our half. Ref restarts the game giving them the ball. Not a word of protest. We don’t deserve to win if we aren’t going to fight. When our player goes down near the end in our box, nobody runs and has a go at the offending opponent. It’s fucking lame and it drives me mad.

Soyuncu is aggressive but never at the right time and never works in our favour

Soyuncu barking at Bergwijn falling over in the box prior to his 1st goal may have just spurred him on too.

But too many errors/lapses from too many players thereafter to even work through here again.

Every team in the country should have a video of those last few minutes as a masterclass in how not to see out a game.

Bergwijn knew he had rattled the Turkish bonehead, the rest is history.
 
Our central defence is a complete joke isn't it? The chocolate fireguard is about 6foot 8 inches and rarely wins a header in key areas. He gets pushed around like a schoolboy and is often seen jogging back towards our goal as we concede. Cags races about like a headless chicken and has little or no positional sense. He all too often dives in rather than closing space.
I know we are missing Evans and Fofana but the way we mess about at the back is laughable.
Kane was given the freedom of Leicester again last night and was really their only danger if we'd shown any tactical smarts.
Whoever decides that the likes of Bennett (previously) and Vestergaard yesterday are serious replacements for a team looking to improve season on season are totally misguided.
