Aus Fox Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Lowest we can now finish is 3rd. Gautentee to still be in Europe after Christmas living the dream! 2 more points and we are in the last 16 of the Champions League
Brooksy Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 King was quality. Love Schmeichel Was Slimani offside?
Blue Ed Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 I thought we were excellent tonight, not one player went missing . vardy running pressing and winning the ball. Mahrez was everywhere and back to his best. Simpson great. Albrighton pressing and winning the ball. Kasper making a world class save. Commitment. energy and style Lets get on and winnit

Other than that first 20 minutes and the last 10, I thought we were much better than them. They didn't really cause us any problems for the best part of an hour.

Did you read the start of the match thread? I ain't easily shocked, but I was at some of the guff I was reading about King.
TMELcfc Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 WTF... How do we keep turning in these performances mid week but absolute dog in the Prem? Albrightons performance again was my only concern. Did the defence stuff ok like he does but passing was poor, offered little going forward. King was superb... Never thought I'd say that. But as a team that was last seasons side, so for f*** sake why do we disappear in the league. Confused but great win tonight.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 The good thing with the second half was that there really wasn't any of that aimless hoofing which was evident in the first... we passed the ball well and pressed, that was more like we were last season. We weren't aimless and didn't give the ball away.
crazyleicester Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Solid. We still look nervous but it seemed there was some tactical tweaking as Fuchs seemed to be more narrow than usual and find himself in as lightly more advanced position helping the midfield. For the first time in ages we actually looked like we had a few bodies in the middle which bodes well for the future. Its interesting it happened with Amartey out and King in but I have been critical at times of AK as he goes missing but today he was the best player on the pitch. If he wasnt getting in the oppos box to cross on the byline when Slimani slipped with the goal beckoning he was heading and clearing the ball in his own peno box. He played some lovely incisive passes and made more tackles and blocks today that he has in his last ten performances. Phenomenal performance and if I am honest I didnt think he had it in him. Overall it was a poor first half but the goal gave us confidence in the 2nd half. We were much better after the break and should have had a second as Slimani looked onside for the disallowed goal. I was also happy to see Vardy running again and Mahrez showing some glimpses of magic. The defence looked more solid again some poor attackers but still they were back to their bullying best. As daft as this will sound I want them to keep defending like mad men and if they give a peno away and it does cost us then revert back to safer tactics! A 6.5 out of ten team performance against a poor side but they hadnt lost in 21 games and we ended that record with little issue!!!
lcfcdamo Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Fort we were good for for about 20 mins in that game its like when Mahrez comes alive the team does Albrighton shocking once again god nos wot his passing complete rate was
desertfox2 Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Drinky has got to be by far the best English passer of the ball. Should not just be in the England squad but starting. How Hodgson thought Wilshire was a better option i'll never know. And there is no way Rooney is a better midfielder than Drinkwater. Top class.

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Slimani was onside, should have been 2-0. Outrageous save by Schmeichel, King was fantastic. 3 wins in 3, happy days!
Grewks Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 With all due respect a 1-0 win at home to Copenhagen, is in my opinion, our weakest home result of the season. Some are getting over excited about the gloss of the Champions League. They started with a lad up top tonight who was utter doggo at Cardiff, and the lad alongside him, is rated even worse. Yes we won. Winning whilst playing poorly is great. But we will be nearer to 20th than 17th playing like that this season.
worthosoriginals Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Slim was onside, linesman's positioning was off.

Any PL side would have beaten us to tonight. Maybe I've got you all wrong but you strike me as one of those fans who'd be happier with us being 2-0 down away at Wigan on a Tuesday night.

matty98 Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Thought the Copenhagen left back looked a very tidy player, whipped in some quality balls

AyewJoking Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 why was the original match thread closed? Schmeichel 8 Simpson 7 Morgan 6 Huth 5 Fuchs 7 Mahrez 7 Drinkwater 8 King 7 Albrighton 5 Vardy 6 Slimani 7
Ted Maul Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Danny Simpson and Andy King bossing it in the Champions League. Who would have thought it....
ScouseFox Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 90% of the fans of this football club simply do not deserve andy andy king to play for their football team. end of.
