    He'll go straight back to shelvey and Hayden or shelvey and Sean.. Bruce stumbled across a better side, but has he noticed??? I doubt it

    I thought Matty looked pretty good today. More at the pace of the game than the other night. I think he should have a run in the side now.

    Leicester are good and we did ok but i thought today really showed up where we are weak. We only really have a defensive press. Sure our shape is typically quite solid but we just continually press with one man at a time effectively trying to just fend the oppo off. We need to be more aggressive, take the risk and press with 2 or 3 together win the ball and then you have support near by to pass to. This is part of the reason I think Matty should be given a run as he is more mobile than Shelvey.

    Matty looked good the last 3 games and I think considering the opposition that's a great sign... I'll be furious if he doesn't get a chance vs Sheff United where he will get a bit more time and space...

    Don’t get me wrong. I like Matty on the ball. Off it he is not so good. And he really is that slow. He has no pace.
