If you think I'd be serious in saying that I think you'd be better off spending less time on here and more time taking life a little less serious not sure DANGEROUS TIGER suggests you're too grown up either
Corky Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 It was a really good game, both sides went for it, chances at both ends and I think we just about deserved it. The referee was dreadful however. This win is probably better than the Man City one in some ways because it was a tough, determined display at a crucial time, although there were similarities in that we started quickly and put plenty of pressure on West Ham. Table is looking a bit better now but we need to back it up on Monday. Well done to them on today's result though, it was much needed and hard won.
MrSpaM Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 Have to hold my hands up and say Chilwell has really stepped up past two games, long may it continue
Jfox90 Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 Very happy with the majority of the performance today..very enjoyable game too. two of our worst players vs everton in slimani and albrighton were 10x better today. Chilwell earned his place and looked much more solid through the centre today with huth and drinky back. Ref had a mare as everyone aware, so glad he didnt cost us the 3 points with some difficult games coming. Bluesssss!
VLC86 Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 Chilwell was outstanding but it is massive cringe when people are mentioning him as an England player before 21 etc etc. The guy has made 2 league starts and before that was butchered by Porto. Best to give the lad time and take the pressure off a bit, he wouldn't be the first young player dubbed the next big thing to fail.
Carl the Llama Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 MOTD completely ignored the stamp on Chilwell...
desertfox2 Posted 31 December 2016 Posted 31 December 2016 3 hours ago, Clever Fox said: I've been calling for that all season. It just doesn't make sense playing him on the left when we're welll covered there now. Last season was different but not now. He looked rejuvenated today where he could see the play in front of him. What a lovely ball for Slimani and similar with the cross when Slim hit the post. Clever fox by name.... it's right though he is better on the right. If Vardy is playing we can kind of get away with him on the left although its still not perfect as the ball curling towards the keeper Vardy is so quick off the mark he can put the keeper/defense under pressure and force an error or get a nick on it and send it goal wards. With Slim in the side his biggest threat is in the air and Albrighton hitting out swinger's is a dream for him and a nightmare for their keeper.

foxes21 Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 I thought we were quite comfortable second half. We knew what we were doing, sitting back, keeping a defensive shape and protecting our lead. Typical Leicester. Our strategy in the second half nullified them and they didn't have any real clear cut chances. Kasper only had to make a couple decent saves and both were from free kicks.
GloverFox Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 ... at last, that winning feeling! Big three points for the new year start and hopefully the start of a run of good results. Once again though, some very frustrating officiating ... but hey ... 3 points
WigstonWanderer Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Started and finished strongly, got a bit lost in the middle. No surprise to see Marc Albrighton playing much better while on the right than when on the left. Welcome points which is the main thing. Gray started well but seemed to have diminishing effectiveness and sometimes greedy. Good runout for Chilwell.
ozleicester Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Just watched as Ranieri did the little head nod as Slim scored... dunno why, i just love seeing that from a manager
David Hankey Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Leicester should and could have won more easily had the chances been taken. Unfortunately another poor display by a match official who looked well out of his depth which in turn spoilt a potentially good game and one in which his diabolical actions incited the crowd. It was abundantly clear to me that the referee's future lies elsewhere and well away from football. WHU came with their normally spoiling tactics looking to deceive the the match officials at every opportunity.
sdb Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 ALBRIGHTON on the right and Slimani up top is a combination that pretty much guarantees goals. Don't change it Claudio!

AKCJ Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 I can't get over Albrighton's cross. First time an all.
Ted Maul Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 3 invaluable points. Delighted. Managed to grind it out despite West Ham bringing their own ref again.
halfpipe Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Antonio's dive was absolutely disgraceful. Very pleased with how we played yesterday, more of the same against 'boro!
HighPeakFox Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 I'm still wondering how the karate kick on Chilwell has been hidden from general view by MOTD.
Dr The Singh Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 20 mins was good, after that the performance was drab. Just glad we won

CosbehFox Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Brilliant game of the football. Helped by opposition what try and shoehorn as many attacking midfielders into as possible. It was great to see the defensive part of the game today where players were working for each other - it seemed the team were far more happy with the selection. Victory made all the more sweeter by the sour grapes coming from West Ham. Let's get something straight, West Ham aren't a big club and on an equal footing to ourselves. They haven't won anything for years, spent seasons in out of the two top divisions and their crowds are greatly assisted by being located in one of the most populated cities in the world. Subconciously or not, there's clearly been discussions within the PGMO about being accused of showing us favourism last season. We are under far more spotlight with the refs. Whilst Payet was protected today, Mahrez was trampled all over on repeat occasion. Huth was brilliant yesterday - when he's in that mood he's great, when he's lazy he can be awful.
M0901 Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Seen a couple on here say Slimani was "lazy", no idea what game they were watching. Hussled, bussled and deserved his goal. Chilwell superb, Albrighton brilliant, and Amartey looked so assured. Onto Boro!
