Leicester (H) Post-Match Thread

[OntarioBlue]

To be honest there's been quite a few better in the modern era. Spuds at home 2 seasons ago or Spuds away 5 - 1. Not knocking your memories but this era has produced far more

Maybe - rose tinted memories perhaps but it was great.

Looked back to our best today. Schmeichel was excellent otherwise we’d have had 5 or 6.

 

[Gingers Dad]

They all did, Sterling was a bit iffy though

Really?

Nostalgia it's not what it used to be

This reminded me of nothing so much as Liverpool at the Etihad last season. Every man on the money, every man doing his duty. In the PL, there's no-one who can live with us when we're like that, and I wonder who in Europe, actually. Leicester are a good team, but we throttled them.
What was the atmosphere like? Did the crowd play its part as twelth man? (Let a friend have my seat. She gets to see all the great performances, grrr...)

I thought we made some decent noise today tbf...

Really?

I thought he was

 

[Gingers Dad]

I thought he was

I suppose its all about opinions. But maybe some of stuff he did today is what we take for granted

Decent atmosphere today and was pretty full. Normally the last Saturday before Xmas game is a low crowd.

I don't know if I watched a different game to most today but I thought we looked ripe for the taking up until they scored, they were man to man in midfield and didn't look in any danger. The little tactical change of moving Sterling inside as a second #10 alongside KDB and Mendy bombing forward won us the game, Sterling didn't have the best game but he created space for KDB to destroy them because Ndidi didn't know who to pick up.

Mahrez had his best game for us but I'm just meh about him, I just genuinely don't get him. To me it's the Mahrez show, he's not a team player at all.

Really happy for Jesus to get a goal at home too, a true poachers goal as well makes it all the better. He has to be first choice, he offers so much more than Aguero these days with the energy and ability to press. He's never going to be as clinical as Aguero, but who is. We could spend £300m on a striker and still not get anyone like Aguero.

Dinho is talking and directing the whole game

one of our greatest ever players but he is not captain material going forward in the coming seasons . Maybe kdb or Laporte or even someone who has not joined but we need a true leader on that pitch and ferdy is not that leader I’m afraid .

He had a good game for the majority, a really good game in fact. However his lack of pace, intensity and aggression cost us their goal, he should have been busting a gut to stop their player releasing Vardy, but just seemed to wander across and stop 2-3 yards short which gave him time and space to pick out the pass.

His control, movement and weight of passing in that holding role is a joy to watch though, he really benefitted from having Bernardo in there with him.

I actually thought Bernardo really benefitted from having Gundo in there. He really is a fantastic, super player and one we should thank our lucky stars we have
