bigDfox33 Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 I hope the boys can keep this team spirit up, Zeiler seemed a bit more confident today, seems the players are gelling a bit better now. Lets face it we needed the win. Every single player turned up and gave it 100%
RowlattsFox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Best thing about that was the attitude, early goals helped but the desire and energy was back. Classic last season, get in front and protect the box excellently until the last few minutes. That said, city were atrocious in defence and allowed us to do what we enjoy which no one else has done yet. Big confidence boost.
Guest Col city fan Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 We played great, as I said earlier. I'm taking nothing away from us That said....Man City, defensively were all over the place. Bizarrely, that was probably one of the easiest matches we'll get all season. I've always thought John Stones was an England regular in the making, but was raw and needed to be developed. Watching that tonight.... I'm not sure he's just not shite actually. Vardy tore him a new one all game.
dedlock Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 The passion,commitment and endeavour is back. Splendid goals,even Kolarov's. We just needed to keep the concentration going until the end of the game. Thought Slimani worked well, pity he didn't get the goal he deserved at the end of the first half. As for JV,a hatrick is some way to end the drought. Next, keep it going for a first away win on Tuesday.
dynamark Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 V Good .Anyone else feel the ref was fairly kind today .Have they had a rethink on the wrestling in the box cos it was happening both ends today. You have to wish we could play them every week with that set up at the back .Perfect for Vardy and they didn't have the sense to change.
sphericalfox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 We played Man City at a good time, suspensions and a lack of consistency from them, with the embarrassment of Porto to rectify, and it gladly came good. Given the extremely low percentage of possession and Man City's inability to shoot on target or pass today and a bit of hunger we deserved this win, but let's not assume we are back to greatness. I do hope it gives us the confidence and lift that we needed, and the display today, including and importantly goals for Vardy, I hope doesn't go to their heads, as we go into the Xmas period we need our backups to pick up their game too, as Mahrez and Slims will be gone in Jan.
Swarles Barkley Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Great performance for the lads but we have to take into account how bad Man city were and the horrendous tactics they had. So many sloppy passes throughout the game and I count 7 players playing out of position. They played right into our hands with the shockingly high line they played and the truly horrific passing out from the back. Stones and Bravo . Wouldnt buy them for 6mil let alone 60mil rating guardiola less and less by each passing week
Matt_Lcfc Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Dr Mark Bonners dope has kicked in again. Great win

I thought we definitely got the benefit of the doubt on most 50-50s, however I also think they (esp Fernando) could have picked up a few yellows for tactical fouls. As for the grappling i've seen this mentioned elsewhere but I didn't really see where a penalty could be awarded. Morgan on Ihenacho maybe but Ihenacho starts it. I think unless the ref is 100% how it started and who's actually doing the fouling then they can't give it

Vardy tore him a new one all game. Agree entirely. Man City have no shape or discipline without Kompany and no fight without Fernadinho. We probably won't be afforded that space to play into again all season. Although this win was thoroughly deserved and the pressing and commitment was back, Man City allowed Leicester to do what they do best tonight where most others have not - and will continue to make life hard. Just got in and watched the post match interviews. Interesting to hear Claudio discussing the possibility of a three man midfield and inviting the players thoughts on this. The consensus being that the squad favours a 4-4-2. Significantly Claudio spoke pre-match as he has done many times in the past of the need to remain compact and tight but this depends upon a solid midfield pairing and tonight, King and Amartey were precisely that. Great performance.
Dr The Singh Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 gutted i missed it. certainly didnt see that, and has made my weekend. However we cant let this be a one off
Harry - LCFC Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Thought Man City were very good going forward today and could easily have scored earlier than they did. We defended well but that could have gone differently I felt. Play like that against virtually any other team and we win comfortably.
lgfualol Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Stones cost more than our title winning team
AmarteyAndChill Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 1 hour ago, Aus Fox said: Andy King's best Premier League game for us. Vardy back to his best. Huth outstanding. James back in action. Mahrez looked interested and confident. All in all not a bad Saturday. Drinkwater and Schmeichel also back, everything's starting to get a bit brighter.
Blue Ed Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Great performance today..Can I give a shout out for Slim. He was in my opion one of thebest players on the pitch and getting a great connection with the rest of the team.
Merging Cultures Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Bravo is hilarious.If Pep is a "genius" I must be Stephen Hawking.
chapero82 Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 That was the Leicester we know and love what a great game!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Never been more happy to be proved wrong - well done, great team effort, which hasn't been said for a very long time.

AyewJoking Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 man city may have been incredibly poor at the back the leicester of a few weeks back wouldnt have capitalised on that. for the first time this season i feel as proud as last season. only one game i know but the players and manager have shown me the fire is still burning!
Koke Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 First time we scored 4 goals in a game since beating Sunderland on the opening day of last season.

kingfox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 That was a bit good wasn't it The real Leicester are back...for the time being. We did everything right tonight, took our chances, were deadly on the counter, worked extremely hard and defended superbly. Vardy, Mahrez & Fuchs were incredible tonight, King & Amartey deserve a lot of plaudits too after the stick they've received. Just one little negative and that was their second goal, a lack of concentration from everyone. Great evening, hopefully we've turned a corner.
dynamark Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 You would show stones vids to youngsters as how not to play its shocking.
