    Another goal conceded today through simply having the defensive line way too deep. We keep inviting pressure through not pushing up, it's embarrassing.</p>

    At home we shouldn't be defending on the edge of our own 18 yard box when the ball is deep in the opposing half, especially when you are the side looking to attack. Any team that has aspirations of attack should be defending high up the pitch, unless of course you are up against a side that have a pacey frontline, which Leicester certainly didn't. Davey is paid good money to sort this sort of ***** out, whilst us &quot;outside the game&quot; know **** all.</p>

    Yeah mate, defend too deep and you get punished. Unfortunately Davey sees fit to carry on allowing it.
