mahrez turning up tonight to get his move?

Great result on a cold, rainy sat afternoon. All in honesty, a lot more than we deserve. The lack of attacking threat is scary and us winning just requires a bit of luck and to be exceptionally clinical. Not carving out enough chances.

Ndid has to be the worst striker of a ball for a midfielder ive ever seen in my life

is it? Watched this team week in week out

Yep I agree, something with this system isn't working. Also noticed how often a good splitting pass is too easily dismissed for a ball across the midfield or back to Maguire/N'didi. Completely puts the breaks on any kind of urgency we want to create.

I'd say that knocking Kaspar is harsh, he's most definitely a top keeper and we won't get much better! Chilwell is premier league quality but just not the level we want right now, confidence/final ball issues - Although I'd put some of it down to Puels instructions to literally make our game plan to put balls in. It's not bens strength and he does not have that kind of quality and consistency. We all know that Simpson can't cross for shit but he can sure as shit defend better than Chilwell

This is the most alarming thing for me. We can only pass it around the middle of the park, before we get itchy and someone lumps it in. Is this Puels instruction, mind boggling.

Agree that Simpson has rarely ever put in a good cross in his career but there's all round solidity to his game rather than just effort.

He's prem level but just not top half I'm afraid. Maybe it's his confidence problems hindering him.

Where to start, outstanding effort from many of our players tonight! Albrighton was immense and deserves credit tonight, big performance. Now for the negatives, Chilwell clearly suffers massively from confidence issues, he never knows what to do when he gets the ball and really hinders our final ball/product, his effort is there no doubt and he put in a big shift, but just not enough quality! Do we ever try and play it through the middle or do we always try to just put the ball in with a 5ft 9 striker. What the **** was going on at the end, put the ****ing ball in, iheanacho looks like he's half asleep every time he's near the ball. Despite the howler for Kaspar something isn't ticking with this team.

Chilwell was Ok today I thought, but he needs a talking to, in a good way. He seems to flap around under pressure and waste some good opportunities, I feel he needs more composure when he's got the ball in promising positions. Also, have to question what Albrightons instructions are half the time? continuously pop balls in to an isolated Vardy, kind of nullifies this possession/passing game that Puel wants? Not impressed today! N'didi's form has dropped as well!

Agree with Albrighton, even when he is put on the wing I don't think he knows exactly what he's doing with the ball, is it Puel telling him to keep putting in desperate crosses to an isolated Vardy??

Albrighton puts in a shift but with little to no end product most of the time. Game after game it's evident.

I agree, I was baffled when I seen that team sheet.
