i really hoped we stayed top but now it's basically the most important thing in my life if you make a new one of these every week 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

With Costa and Azpilicueta, they had two highly likely receivers available all night.

Hahaha

[benn]

if its possible i need hq photos (the face)  for all players of leicester 

[The Guvnor]

A mention also for big Wes who I thought bossed Costa, he roughed him up, something I haven't seen too often from Wes, maybe he has been cage fighting with Marcin to get the edge.

Totally Guv, he was outstanding.

Any way of getting this photo full size? Or the source?

 

The club it would seem.

MOURINHO SAID WE DESERVED TO WIN.

...imagine that. No conditions, or excuses - he just stated it directly...how the mighty have fallen.

But our ball boys are a disgrace hahaha

[filbertway]

Talking of Leo, what happened when the ball seemed to just bounce through him near the end of the game? Did he turn into a ghost or something?

Toyo wins the 'battle of the tyres'

Leo seems to be picked to defend set pieces. Quite bizarre to pick a striker for what he offers in his own box rather than the opposition and I suspect Claudio recognises that. If a replacement is available next month we would go for him.

Then you are drastically underestimating what a credible aerial threat in the box does. Last night was Mahrez's third goal with Albrighton sending him the ball unmarked because the defense was occupied with Leo. The other 2 were his West Brom goals. Leo doesn't need to be directly involved in the scoring to be making a difference. Even though he has been directly involved in 3 goals himself, more than the other option in less time.

Kind of like Heskey in his heyday. Never really scored lots, but every striker he partnered loved it because he occupied the defenders allowing them to score.

Cheers, wish there was a way of getting these in full rez, would make for a great desktop wallpaper/print.

Compelling and truly horrifying. Bravo.

For the ones who didn't pay that much attention because they were all over Vardy and Mahrez:

Art on grass. 

[Richard]

That Benn chap must be Benalouane posting his weird photoshop skillz.

Also Thracian is right, ulloa 'presence' will always play on a defenders mind. Whereas a centre half may afford Okazaki a yard or two as he's so weak, they must battle with Ulloa. Possibly why mahrez was wide open

Claudio clearly learnt from Utd that our biggest weakness is a lack of height form set pieces hence why he never took Leo off, despite him looking dead on his feet on tunnel cam.

Please, don't let this be continued.

Why did Mahrez have a shooting lane? Because Terry and Matic felt it best to protect against the big guy. It's subtle and easy to overlook but nevertheless pertinent to the goal. Apparently Mourhino said he wanted 2 guys on Mahrez in the box and Terry didn't leave Leo. I think it played a major role in why Terry was subbed off 5 minutes after this goal.

 

[st albans fox]

Taking aside personal character stuff, wouldn't an Austin be a better option than Leo?

If we really have designs on the top 4, we need our big man to be able to finish a chance. also, too often the movement up top breaks down when Leo is involved. Love the guy but it's 'tough at the top'.

[Dickov22]

When we played QPR last season I didn't like Austin's attitude at all. Every time a teammate misplaced a pass or didn't give him the ball, he flung his arms around in protest. That's no good. I thought he was basically doing two things :

1) disrespecting his teammates and assuming he's above them all

2) trying to show the fans how much he 'cares'

I was actually thinking about how great it looked.

Wonder if it could actually serve a tactical purpose somehow, i.e. help give guiding lines for long diagonal balls or angled shots.

With so much attention to detail given from the sports science team, I would not be surprised to hear that the groundsmen are being told to give the team as much of an advantage as possible.

To be fair it must of been hard to work with a bunch of overpaid mercenary when you're one of the precious few putting an effort in.

When Mahrez received the ball, Azpilicueta was doubling up on Vardy looking at the picture it must have been Ulloa, which makes even less sense, and leaving Mahrez open.  I can understand him dropping in so Vardy doesn't do Terry for  pace, but on Ulloa?  Maybe they just got confused as to which one was Mahrez and which one was Ulloa...
