desertfox2 Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 It does Kante a disservice to describe him as a holding midfielder. He looks like a complete midfielder to me. He made two goals today out of almost nothing. See your point but he is/was a holding midfielder. Seems to be developing in to a box to box midfielder.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Never had much time for Ashley Williams and lost any respect I might have had for him if those reports are true. Who the fvck goes looking for an opposition player (that had you pants down for 90 minutes) after the game? What is this, Sunday League? Don't know what Mahrez did other than make Williams look like a mug for 90 minutes...

Pasty1 Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Rumours that Vardy and Mahraz are to be offered improved contracts £90,000 per week.... 5 year contracts...
Callabinho Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Apparently Williams went after Mahrez to ask for his pants back.

Guest Col city fan Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 This midfield is so much better than last season's midfield. I think it's just time people accepted it. We are top of the Premiership by two clear points after yet another display where the midfield pairing ran the bloody show. Kante is proving to be one of City's most important signings in decades. And Drinkwater should be in the England squad, make no bones about it. I'm so so proud of this side and pleased that we finally have a midfield to combat any in this division.

I think everyone knows that you dullard, it's just that people don't have to constantly remind everyone that they once made a post on an Internet football forum that turned out to be correct to give them meaning in their lives. Give it a rest.
ImBlue Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Okazaki didn't start for the 3rd consecutive away game, Leicester scored 3 in all of them, kept 2 clean sheets and took 9 points. Time to give Ulloa a run of games? Looks like he is lacking match sharpness but is very capable. Riyad showing his undoubted ability. Challenge for the title? Why not!

Let's be honest though Drinkwater was awful last year! He has probably learned from Cambiasso in training and also adapted to premier league life!

ajthefox Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Don't have any problems with Swansea but Monk is right up his own arse. Didn't acknowledge us at all.
Unabomber Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Seeing drinkwater thrive due to the tips that cambiasso gave him last season really is a joy to watch. Love you Esteban.
harryf Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Have to give a shoutout to BBC Lawro's bloody predictions. I've been reading his previews for games now the past 6 weeks probably and almost every time he says, "Leicester have been playing well but I just can't see them winning this one", but he's wrong every week! When is he going to start putting them as winners haha. Flying over from my home in San Francisco to watch them play Man City in December, should be a cracker! Come on Leicester!

FireFox Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 If we didn't have Cambiasso last season, there is a chance we'd be top. Top of the Championship. He engineered our great escape last season. He taught Drinkwater how to be a top player in a top league. We owe Cambiasso a lot.
Thracian Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 Okay they hit the woodwork twice and might have had better luck but we could have scored eight or nine today and were at our marauding best as a fast, fearsome, counter-attacking tsunami. We plundered the ball so relentlessly and then swamped Swansea with wave after wave of attacks so dangerous they threatened everything in front of them. Mahrez, the first City player to score an away Premiership hat-trick and only the third overall - what a player and what a bargain. But it wasn't just about him. Vardy had three really good chances to go deeper into the record books and although surprised he squandered the lot, my life, was he hard to contain and he still had the compensation of a creating one assist and also winning the corner from nothing from which Mahrez opened the scoring. Similar praise too for Ulloa who showed why some of us have called for his inclusion because of the impact he can cause. Again, he had a genuine assist for Mahrez's goal after Kante's determined run through the middle but it was also his run to the near post which unsighted Swansea's defenders at the early near-post corner creating the chaos that led to Mahrez's opener. To go to a place we so often play disappointingly and produce a near masterpiece of attacking football could only have enhanced our reputation as the most entertaining Premiership team in the last was a delight because we tore a damned good passing team to pieces. We were first to the ball and every position up to fourth or fifth sometimes as we passed and moved the home side to despair. The gaps in Swansea's rearguard were bigger than the trade deficit at times and we went through them faster than curried enema. Man of the Match was easy - Mahrez by the distance of that detour round the Forth Bridge they're having to make, and probably back as well. But this was also a team performance of stunning destructiveness. Almost every time Swansea lost the ball they seemed to take a broadside in the wotsits. We peppered em from all sides and in all directions. Left wing, right wing, straight down the centre and all angles in between we just cut them to shreds with speed. movement, courage, touch and imagination. Another clean sheet was well merited especially as, once again, we weren't really opened up at all and even when a chance did open up for them it was either from a set-piece or involved touches or ricochettes off our own people. Besides I cannot remember a single game where hitting the woodwork equatted to a goal. There's enough space in between and they didn't find it!. So full marks to Simpson, Morgan, the Incredible Huth and Fuchs because what once had more holes than Leerdammer cheese now looks tight as a Hummingbird's arse...and even Kasper showed no signs of indecisiveness, his first punch to a floated cross being enough to despatch many a heavyweight. In midfield Drinky and deKanter drained all the juice from Swansea's harvest of poor passing and fermented a reply that was pure footballing nectar. All the attackers had to do was enjoy the feeding frenzy presented to them and they hardly stopped to swallow. Wonderful day, terrific result and yes we can top the league and we can earn the right to feast at the tables of Europe. Why not? We've earned our lead at the head of the Premiership. I don't see any reason why we'll give it away. Vardy's been a hero but there's been lots of heroes in our team all season. Today just emphasised how many.

He has shown on many occasions that he is a talented player, perhaps he learnt some finer points from Cambiasso but let's not pretend Drinky wasn't a good player before.
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 December 2015 Posted 5 December 2015 The Cambiasso love in! Fair play to ya. You do know the counter argument is that Drinkwater was held back by Pearson insisting on playing Cambiasso dontcha? Anyway, who cares...the important thing its come good. Drinkwater is looking every inch the player he did in our Championship campaign when he was player of the season. Do you not think that's a little disrespectful to Drinky? He has shown on many occasions that he is a talented player, perhaps he learnt some finer points from Cambiasso but let's not pretend Drinky wasn't a good player before. Christ.. I never thought I'd see the day..
