James Maddison fails to make his World Cup point as England boss watches on, unimpressedJames Maddison needed a big performance in front of the England manager to prove he’s worth a chance, but fell considerably short.
The opening stages seemed to hint that the problems surrounding this team are a little more complex than a simple equation of ‘bad defence=lots of goals conceded’. In the first 10 minutes, Leicester midfielders repeatedly gave the ball away to Palace completely unnecessarily, inviting pressure when there was no need.
When Leicester got within range of the Crystal Palace goal they stung the palms of goalkeeper Vicente Guaita more than once. Barnes and Maddison in particular had an energising effect on the crowd, while Daka’s running and sharp movement on the left-hand side offered a clear pathway to goal. But Barnes and Daka’s combinations on the left felt like Leicester’s best chance of providing a pressure valve for their manager, while Maddison looked somewhat less effectual.
Leicester improved in the second half, but if Maddison was hoping to make an impression on the England manager, he continued to fall short. A couple of minutes in he spooned the ball well over from just inside the Palace penalty area before blaming the pass for his overcooked finish.
