We have some good players but we are not a dynamic team. We have looked static across the midfield for some time. We came into the game more today in the second half only when Stones began to drive things from the back but we should not be reliant upon a defender to open up space. Since Reid we have not had a driving midfielder. must be a priority in the summer. McCarthy does not bring enough to the table for a top midfielder so far. sideways passing, no penetration. Lennon is an honest trader but not good enough. Cleverly tidy but not the difference. Barry is still our best distributor. Besic will come on in time. Ross is in need of some really good coaching if he is to become a consistent player. Delefeu may develop while Mirallas loses possession too much. Lukaku has deficiencies but brings always a threat. To be just short of top class is the issue for many teams. what Leicester have is a few really good game changers and an organised pack. But our Blues lack defensive know-how and an engine room which can create some space. when we have the ball we only seem to move on the counter, but starting from the centre of the park and we do not create movement or ideas. At times we look clueless. roberto martinez is a nice guy (even if his assessments of games is wide of the mark) and if the axe is to fall, let it be done with the class that United failed to show Mr Moyse.

I said it before and I will say it again, Stones is not a Centre Back, I believe his true position is in front of the back four, from there he will be able to drive us forward at will.

{Ed025's Note - stones is not a centre back...never a truer word said 1878..
