[Fox92]

Vardy - Giving him a 10. Never gave up working again. That one in front of us where Dawson had about a 1000 yard start was unbelievable.

Kante, Mahrez - 9

Everybody else 8

 

Referee Taylor - 5

West Brom - 3 - They were poor. Very direct, missed the midfield out a lot. I'd hate to watch them every week.

Albrighton was sensational. Motm for me

[Guest ttfn]

Schmeichel 7 - couple of decent stops, distribution was generally good.

Simpson 8 - best game I've seen him have for us.

Huth 6 - solid enough but could easily have given away 2 penalties.

Morgan 7 - Looks twice the player he was 8 months ago.

Schlupp 6.5 - did ok. Brilliant header away at the end when it looked like he might have done his classic move of getting caught under the ball.

Mahrez 7 - thought he was pretty poor for the most part, running down blind alleys and holding onto the ball too long. Two well taken goals when it mattered though.

Drinkwater 6.5 - pretty wasteful at times in possession but battled hard and a good pass for Vardy's goal.

Kante 7.5 - everywhere again. Kept the ball well too, he's averaging 90% pass completion over his last two games.

Albrighton 8 - man of the match, 2 assists and a lovely ball to Vardy in the first half from which he hit the post.

Ulloa 5.5 - don't think he added anything to the team yesterday but certainly didn't play badly.

Vardy 8 - scoring for fun but hasn't lost the tirelessness that made him such a great player for us before the goals started flowing. Amazing when he chased the ball down into the corner in the first half and won a throw out of nothing.

Subs:

King 7 - did exactly the job that was required. Kept it simple and won the ball back well a few times.

Okazaki 6 - decent cameo.

Dyer 5 - barely touched it, (harshly) gave away a penalty.

[Dan]

Schmeichel - Maybe I'm picky but he should be doing more for their first for me. Otherwise a pretty good game where he won a lot of his aerial battles. 6

 

Simpson - Thought he defended fairly well to be honest, not a great deal to be said about him. 6

Morgan - Personally thought he had a very good game. 8

Huth - Like Morgan he played well, didn't deserve to be in a defence that let in two. 7

Schlupp - Mixed bag as usual. Must admit I feared the worst when I heard he was at left back, and whilst he wasn't at Fuchs' level, he wasn't bad. 6

 

Drinkwater - Thought he had a very good game yet again. Played a big part in our excellent third goal. 8

Kante - Not quite as involved as usual but still didn't had a bad game. 7

Albrighton - He was very good to be fair. His creativity was as good as it's been all season. Two assists (though fortuitous with one) and inches from three with the through ball to Vardy in the first half. 8

Mahrez - Actually thought he was fairly quiet, but he was the match-winner. So good seeing him finally add regular goals to his game as it was pretty much all that was missing. 8

 

Ulloa - I think his touch has improved this season and that he's playing well whenever he plays, although isn't looking overly threatening in front of goal. 6

Vardy - Quality, probably just edges it for our MOTM again. His goal was an absolutely superb goal. It's an absolute joke if he doesn't win POTM this month. 5 goals in 4 games and the main instigator behind the success story of the season. He could go down as one of our best pound for pound buys ever. 9

 

Subs

King - Thought he did well, if unspectacular when he came on. 6

Okazaki - Wasn't on long but did actually add some bite from the front which we needed. 5

Dyer - Not on long but conceded a penalty, it was a very soft penalty and he was unlucky to concede it, but it was still clumsy. 4

 

Officials - I think the officials have improved for us recently but yesterday was a return to the early days of the season. Got the majority of the big decisions wrong. Awful. 2

 

West Brom - Exactly what I expected them to be. They're a stupidly limited side who have the most unjustified of fear factors about them. That's twice in the past six months we've gone away there and won the game from behind, scoring three in the process. The fact they'll more than likely beat the drop with comfort too reflects horribly on the bottom sides. 3

 

Ranieri - Didn't fall for the West Brom being as defensively good as Italy hype and proved why we're a superior side. Good on him. 8

[ThaiFox]

Ranieri 8 - Got it pretty much spot on again.

 

Schmeichel 6 - Really like Kasper's spirit, but still wish he would command area more. No chance with either goal.
 

Simpson 6 - Good game again. So much better than De Laet at RB. But one point lost for losing his marker for the first WBA goal.
Huth 6 - Solid and strong. Clumsy challenges could have given away penalties.
Morgan 6 - Overall solid game. Still can't work out why he bothers going up for corners.
Schlupp 6 - Some good touches, some clumsy ones. Caught out of position a few times.

Mahrez 7 - Lovely skills at times, although fairly quiet game I thought. Nice finishes for both goals.
Drinkwater 8 - Fantastic weighted pass for Vardy's goal. Overall a good game and never stops working.
Kante 8 -Like Kasper and Vardy, love his spirit and never say die attitude. A really solid midfield with DD and him.
Albrighton 8.5 - My MOTM. Dangerous crosses all match, and unlike list week there was more thought there. Superb cross for Mahrez's first. Like him in the side, works so hard.

Ulloa 6 - Not that dangerous up front in this match, but certainly keeps defenders occupied. Plus he helps at the back against set pieces. I thought he was fouled before WBA claimed a penalty, so justice was done when it wasn't given.

Vardy 8 - Works so hard, and like Kante and Kasper, the spirit and never say die attitude they all show is an example to everyone. Superb goal, fully deserved. Hope he breaks the record and sincerely hope he stays at Leicester City.

Subs: 
King 6 - Kept it simple and did a fair job.
Okazaki 5 - Not on long enough to really give a fair rating. 
Dyer 5 - The last two matches he has struggled to get in the matches. Not so sure he did give the penalty away. I thought the bloke dived. But it evened out as Huth's clumsy challenge certainly was a penalty.

 

WBA 4.5 - Mostly poor and predictable. Would have been unfair if they had snatched an equalizer. We were years ahead in tactics, spirit and skill.

 

Officials: 4.5 - Many strange decisions. Huth certainly gave away a penalty, but Dyer didn't seem to touch the bloke for the one given. Mahrez second goal was close, but offside. Still, after the Southampton second goal, the luck was on our side this week.

[The Railway Man]

9 for Vardy, 8 for Mahrez, Drinks and Albrighton.

 

Kante gets a 7 everyone else a 6.
