TheUltimateWinner Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 Also credit where credits due, normally known for his stinkers, Mike Dean had a good game today. Looks like one of the few refs who did today!

UPinCarolina Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 Well lads I am properly torqued. What a day and what a match from the boys of LCFC The fruit of the vine awaits
Arkie Bennett Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 From not knowing where the next points - or even goals - were coming from two weeks ago, to two full-throttle performances, two successive wins and six goals. Can't fault the owners for parting with Ranieri.

Suppose there was inconsistency, just thought that compares to his previous games he didn't cause too much trouble and spotted some good fouls such as the pulling back in the first half. Agree they should have had some yellows.

Considering his usual rubbish this was probably an improvement.

Babylon Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 Albrighton has been on it big time last few games. Him and Vards seem like they drag a few others through.

Apart from the first five minutes of the second half, Hull didn't threaten to create anything of note until after Mahrez' goal. Even then, we seemed content to let them get difficult crosses in, which Morgan and Huth were dealing with comfortably. This was no different last season. To Hull's credit, they were committing men forward and keeping a wide shape and did an OK job of keeping the ball moving, but they lacked any cutting edge. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Hull were not that bad really. I didn't think Hull looked too bad either. Infact compared to how they were playing under Phelan, I think Silva's done a good job. I hear his contract is up at the end of the season. He may be the kind of long term manager the owners could be looking for, if (a big if) they don't want to give Shakey the job beyond this season.

Blue Ed Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 Great result and performance. For me we have so much more fluidity going forward than I've seen all season apart from moments home against Burnley. Mahrez, Vardy, Albrighton and Sinj just flew at them. Also... what makes the result better for me, is that I actually thought Hull were decent. they counterattacked well and the chance in the second half when it came of the post was a great effort.
Corky Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 It's just great to see positive football from a committed, organised team again. We can't undo the badwill of Ranieri's sacking but we can look to make the best of the situation and I've really enjoyed these two games. Players have taken responsibility, we're trying to play far more football than in the previous six games and there's character again now. Again, not perfect, we're not safe at all but given where we were this time last week it just feels so much better around the place. Need to keep going now and not let standards slip.

Silva has as much experience in the Prem as Ndidi has. It would present a pretty big risk, but I don't think the idea of him coming here sounds too far fetched (depending on the job he does at Hull).
biggs Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 so pleased for the players and fans....set free by Shakes much to the chagrin of pundits and 1 yr groupies

TJB-fox Posted 4 March 2017 Posted 4 March 2017 Watch the Liverpool and hull peformances and in particular the players' reactions when we've scored/won the game. Tell me they don't care. 2 wins out of 2, get a result at West Ham and suddenly our season could look entirely entirely different. Up the Leicester

Aus Fox Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 Credit to Hull thought they looked alright, although very little quality in the final third. On aside note If they go down and we stay up I would be in for Harry Maguire, though he was excellent at the back.

He gave us our best season ever. None of us know what's gone on. The players could have been cvnts it could have been CR's fault we don't know for sure. But that comment is needless and disrespectful of a great man grow up.

I like Shaky but I don't want him cutting his managerial teeth on us he's already cutting them. CR lost the dressing room for whatever reason we don't know. Shakey has them playing again. So if he keeps us up with games to spare you would rather risk another than Shakey? I hope our owners take no notice of you.
Tuna Posted 5 March 2017 Author Posted 5 March 2017 Ranieri shouldn't get all the blame for the bad signings. Musa was definitely a Steve Walsh pick.
UPinCarolina Posted 5 March 2017 Posted 5 March 2017 I'm not even convinced Musa was a bad signing. I think he was a "wrong time" signing - which for me is a whole new category.
