    Something not quite right there
    Isn't it as simple as their defence?

    Jokanovic spent £100 million in the summer on a side that currently has the worst defence in any of the major European leagues. They've looked badly disorganised whenever I've seen them. The goals conceded are bound to drain the confidence of the rest of the team.

    They also had one shot on target vs Huddersfield, we have scored as many as them! Their passing just goes nowhere, it's intricate 50 yards from goal. They're about to get a lot more direct though.

    If you look at their stats from the first couple of months of the season, they were creating plenty of chances and getting a fair amount of shots on target. However, that's diminished significantly from the end of September onwards. No doubt their defensive failings have affected the rest of the team as time has gone on.

    Perhaps but it was still hardly free flowing. Granted their defence has been appallingly bad, some would even say rubbish but there's clearly a major attitude problem there, some of the players believe they're far better than they are. Perhaps Ranieri can turn it around once the rot sets in it can be hard to stop. They were embarrassingly bad against us, and then somehow even worse against Huddersfield. It wasn't as if they were getting cut to ribbons either, you'd have hoped someone in that side could have rolled their sleeves up and tried to win the game, considering Huddersfield only managed 2 shots on target themselves.

    I would agree with that. Even in the Championship, teams that put pressure on them often got their rewards. The problem was that, at that level, Fulham played most teams off the park in the second half of the season, so their defence was not always tested to its fullest, and by players of a different level to the ones we're seeing now.

    They could do with a Madine, shall we let him go for say, 10 million?
