I don't think we played badly tonight; it was just a case of two teams trying to play in a similar manner and Leicester were just better at it than us, which isn't unexpected as they are the strongest team in the league on paper. Their bench tonight was absolutely ridiculous and shows what an embarrassment of riches they have at this level. Leicester just had that little bit of extra quality and the 2-0 scoreline was probably about right. The lack of creativity and quality in the final third was a little concerning, as is the fact we've only scored twice in three games since Sargent got injured. Hopefully the past few games have been the anomaly, as opposed to the first few.

I don't know, there were several occasions against Stoke where Gunn either stopped with the ball at his feet or just strolled forward leisurely with no intention of playing the ball until he was pressed. The logic is that when doing this, the opponents come forward with a high press and you're potentially only two or three quick passes away from creating a four-on-four situation on the halfway line against a defence that isn't set. Martin hasn't been a fast starter in either of his other jobs, and it was said in preseason that Southampton fans should expect the same whilst his style of play beds in. It makes little sense to make the change so early.
