“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torment of man”.
Most of us saw sings of positivity against Chelsea with a youthful core producing a second half that contained the best football we’d played all season. Come Leicester, and Baningime is dropped, McCarthy is not in the squad, Rooney is dropped back to a role in which he can produce nothing and only the wingers produce a semblance of what made us effective midweek.
It’s strange decision after strange decision from David Unsworth who, with the team selection, reverted back to a 2-man-defensive-midfield with far too much space in front of the defence which allowed Leicester, full of pace with Jamie Vardy, to exploit our extremely slow backline with three of the four defenders being above 30 years of age, and the other is a player who has barely been on a Premier League pitch.
A recipe for disaster, all in all from David Unsworth, and disaster ensued as we cemented ourselves in a relegation battle for the season, with us surely now being one of the favourites to go down.
There’s not three teams worse off than us in the league, I can assure you of that.
