mostly 7's a couple of 8's and 9's.

 

Can you please name and shame anyone who wants Ranieri out.

 

He is keeping these players' feet on the ground.


Mahrez gets my MOTM followed by drinkwater, they both completely ran the show

 

Mahrez got the 3 but Vardy was extraordinary. Involved in every goal. He may not have scored but he may have had his best game of the season.

Claudio a 9.

Schmeichel - Switched on with a couple of good saves at the end - 7

Simpson - Solid as usual also more of a threat going forward than usual - 7

Morgan - He's quietly having a fantastic season after struggling last year - 8

Huth - Vastly improved from earlier in the season - 7

Fuchs - Wouldn't trade him for any other left-back in the division - 8

Mahrez - Could easily have had 5 tbf, his movement was unreal - 9

Drinkwater - He's running Premier League games like he used to in the Championship - 9

Kante - Just everywhere - 9

Albrighton - His delivery was absolutely beautiful in the first half, Swansea looked shit scared every time he got a cross in - 8

Vardy - Movement as great as ever, obviously his finishing wasn't the best but just shows how much more there is to his game than his goals - 8

Ulloa - Definitely should be playing over Okazaki of only for how imperious he was defending set pieces compared to last week - 7

Kanté was sensational, even without the usual number of tackles - bombed forward a lot and set up two, the first with an outrageous ball. And he put Vardy through a few times.

Drinkwater and Fuchs deserve a mention for classiness, I also thought Ulloa looked fantastic - some very good footwork and great passes (the one for Mahrez deserved a goal). Schmeichel didn't have much to do but still pulled out a couple of world class saves.

That's five players and I haven't even mentioned the guy that got a hattrick!!! Love this team.

So Ulloa makes one goal, arguably helps create the chaos the brought the first goal, plays his part in demolishing a Swansea team which tends to beat us at their place and plays his part in a thoroughly entertaining effort in which we created enough chances to score eight or nine goals yet he gets just 4 points?

 

It's your viewpoint and your entirely entitled to it but I reckon that's about as harsh a serious assessment as I've come across.

Schmeichel 7.5 (Showed his intent not to be caught being indecisive with a good early punch and played his part in keeping our clean sheet towards the end).  

 

Simpson 7.5 (Did the simple things soundly in defence - as usual)

 

Morgan 7.5 (Didn't come under great pressure but coped soundly enough)
Huth 7.5 (Much the same as Morgan)
Fuchs 8 (Just what we've needed at left back and it showed again today)
Mahrez 10 (First City player to score an away hat-trick in the Premiership earns him a place in the history books and that, together with taking his goals/assists to 10/6 respectively is well sufficient for a perfect 10)  
Drinkwater 9 (Marshalled our team brilliantly. Involved in so much and with such excellent effect). 
Kante  9 (Principal mover for Mahrez's third goal and another busily masterful display). 
Albrighton 7.5 (Never stopped asking questions and trying to put the ball where it would hurt).
Vardy 9 (Might have missed three brilliant chances but played a part in others and was a real headache for Swansea throughout). 
Ulloa 8 (Played a part in two of the goals by my assessment, did some sterling work in defence and contributed enormously to an outstanding  performance in which we created so many clearcut chances it was hard to keep count).

Sub: No real impact although Kingy nearly created a goal for Simpson even in the very short time he was out there).

He didn't make any of the goals. At best he played a small, simple part in the build up to one of them. At the corner he jumped for a header and missed the ball. That wasn't an intentional ploy to "create chaos", he went for the ball and missed it. Had he successfully completed the flick on, the ball would have bypassed Mahrez and we probably wouldn't have scored, so it's actually a good job he failed to reach the header.

To be honest, I might have given him a 6 were it not for his terrible lethargy. There was a point in the first half when Vardy had chased the ball around their back line at breakneck speed, probably notching up nearly 200m sprinting. When Swansea got in front of Vardy they ran within two metres of Ulloa who had been standing watching. Instead of moving himself two yards to carry on Vardy's exceptional closing down, Leo just stood there and allowed the Swansea defender to waltz past him into our half. That's pure laziness, he just couldn't be bothered, and that doesn't fit in with our team ethos at all. Against a better team his lack of effort really shows, like it did against Man Utd last week.

He's living a charmed life getting to start against the league's out of form teams such as Newcastle and Swansea.

And if you think this is all pro-Okazaki talk then it's not, if you look in the Okazaki thread I called for Leo to start today, but he let me down.

Of course you called for Ulloa. Makes it so much easier to defend Okazaki when he's not just put in an inept 45 minute performance before getting dragged off

Schmeichel 8 - Didn't put a foot wrong

Simpson 8 - Going from strength to strength.

Morgan 7 - did well in difficult conditions against an absolute embarrassment of a centre forward.

Huth 7 - as above

Fuchs 8 - class act.

Mahrez 9 - great hat trick, should have had 4.

Drinkwater 8 - much better than last week.

Kante 9.5 - unreal, probably the best centre mid in the league at the moment.

Albrighton 7.5 - decent enough

Ulloa 6.5 - real mixed bag, worked hard, wasted a great chance. Don't understand his insistence on cutting back whenever he gets an opening.

Vardy 7 - didn't bring his finishing boots but his first touch is brilliant nowadays and his persistence was crucial.

Ranieri 9

Ref 6

Swansea 2 - Just as bad as Newcastle.
