Mickyblueeyes Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 10 minutes ago, Redouane said: Slimani pretty much guaranteed a start for next game... unless he gets injured I thought he was very good today. He offers so much more than Okazaki. I really hope he kicks on next year. I also hope these are the final few games that we see Okazaki who should find his level in the division below or league one. We have a genuine chance of a top 8 finish. It does make you think what if. Had these players been managed properly from the very start. I really wonder who still would be happy to go down with this group of players to appease the media/one man. Benalouane ball control for a centre half is exemplary at times. I really do think he has the characteristics to fit into the DM role. Tries to create, good tackler, composure just lacks a bit of presence aerially. Think he has stepped up so well given the season (or lack of) that he was having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is amazing. What a team player. Slimani took the whole defense to Coalville!!!! No defence in the world deserves that!!.....Apart from maybe the Spurs lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonezy Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 Defensive masterclass 2nd half. Still think we were woeful on the passing in the 1st half and either team could have gotten the lead, but 2nd half we showed we are the better team. Flippin safe for real now, which is amazing considering I kind of already accepted our doom before Ranieri was sacked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trabuch Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 I love the team spirit. Kasper and Benny was a nice moment. If Riyad stays (really hope he does - think he should) the manager is going to have to work out how to play him in the same side as Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 We're so good at sweeping teams aside like that at home. Class above. Next season will be big if Kasper and that stay. So happy for Riyad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 When king was coming in I was hoping we would go 3-5-2 so slim and vards could combine without worrying too much about covering behind them. Noticed riyad asking why gray wasn't ready to come on five mins earlier when there was a break in play. So he knew he was coming off which made his quick exit all the more strange. Would have expected him to swap wings with albrighton so he could have his round of applause and waste some time. Looked happy with his goal and then unhappy to be subbed with plenty of warning it was coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 start of the season I said top half and past the group stage in the CL... Somehow despite being shit for so much of the season we're actually on course to surpass those expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 Albrighton has been ****ing brilliant and deserves that goal. Happy Mahrez scored as well and looked hungry today. Glad Slim is getting praise, he was very decent I thought and offers a lot. Defence was solid. Good game and a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that Albrighton is a really good crosser which can complement Slimani, but we've seen the Mahrez and Slimani hyperlink really work well in the champions league and early season.

foxy boxing Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 Really great win and Kasper with some decent saves to keep a clean sheet and good to see Slimani playing and getting a goal whether he stays or not. Great game by Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have inferiority feelings for any side in this league . Chelsea , Spurs and Arsenal and Man U will all have Europe as a distraction and I would fancy us at no worse than evens in every away fixture and money on at home . got to get the player retention (all please ) and recruitment (we know that we need to strengthen in defence) right and go again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
