Burnley (H) Match Thread

[MPH]

What a header by Slimani.... We have been needing that....

[EnderbyFox]

What an outstanding half from Fuchs, could've had 2 or 3 assists there 

[trabuch]

What a time to score - and thoroughly deserved. We look pretty good that half. Onwards and upwards.

[fridoux]

verry good first half from everybody. great stuff by slim up front

You could feel that coming. Lovely.

 

Thats what she said

[Sionnach gorm]

Playing very well!

[Marcovanbasten]

Really good first half...maybe one of the best I have seen from leicester.

[MPH]

Looks like we are close to being 100% match fit!!

[lgfualol]

Christian to Islam

 

We'll see that a few times this season

[simFox]

Will Burnley's continue to sit deep and frustrate and try and streal a goal. If they start pushing up I think it could be a few more

[benn]

slim slim slim slim

[Webbo]

We had a let off with that header of theirs, I think we deserve the lead though.

[weller54]

[tsintskaro]

Slimani was very good

that ball control and pass to Drinkwater is what leicester needs

Okazaki cant do that

[Crinklyfox]

Up until the goal Burnley must have been pretty satisfied, they had restricted City to very few chances.  If their target was a draw then they'll now have to revise their formation and give Gray some more support which could open up the game for us.

[Vacamion]

 

The people slagging us off prior to the goal in this thread can do one.

 

The people slagging Albrighton can especially do one.

 

Fuchs MOTM so far.

 

We have been far and away the better team.  Burnley largely parked the bus.

 

Now they have to come at us 2nd half, I expect us to profit.

 

COYB.

[Aus Fox]

Really good first half, can't believe the stick Albrighton is getting. Thought he had a brilliant half, work rate is phenomenal.

Mahrez looking sharp and Islam off the mark early.

Amartey looking much better.

keep it up 2nd half and hopefully add another

[kingston_fox]

Good half... Mahrez is back to his best skinning their left back, Amartey playing well again shielding the defence and coping with a packed midfield and Slimani looks like he could be a superb signing holding the ball up, linking on both wings and grabbing a fantastic goal. Same again second half with a quick goal please.

[RastaDog]

Albrighton having  a good game but looks tired.  Musa on in 15?

[Finnegan]

Mahrez, Slimani, Fuchs all been fantastic.

 

Mentions for Drinkwater and Simpson as well who've been good. Nobody's been shit. Albrighton bit sloppy with his final ball but otherwise.

[Aus Fox]

Headline for tomorrow

 

Islam converts Christians cross.

[Bryn]

Slimani looks a good fit. Really impressed. Mahrez is back. Imagine how good we would be if Albrighton was left footed!

Solid. I wouldn't say very well, for that Mahrez tries too much with his skill on the right with little productive balls into the box, and Albrighton's crossing so far has been rather woeful.

 

We're compact and matching Burnley in that regard. This Leicester squad has something very physical about it, that much I can say and admire.

[simFox]

Slimani, could he be Raneiri's plan B? He opens up a new dimension of play for us.

I thought Albright had a bad few moments, but hats off to him, he started to do what he is best at, and that's no frills crossing instead of trying to beat people.
