Watched it again.
Leicester really compressed the play in the 2nd half, their defense pushed right up, they played 4v3 in the middle, with one spare and 2 forwards pressing our back line, at times, and at others, simply crowding us out 5v3.
In other words, they killed the midfield space.
It was an effective tactic that stopped us playing how we wanted to, as the back line no longer had the space to knock the ball around and probe for openings.
We became reactive rather than pro-active after they made their changes, and they were able to gain the initiative.
