Blue ROI Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 A big 3 points. We were good in the first half but made it hard on ourselves. Swansea were shocking up until the goal. Iborra was outstaning in the first half. Mahrez with his best game since 2016 and Morgan and Shinji for all their critics on here delivered. Even King looked decent in fairness. Not quite up there with Liverpool post Claudio but vital win. Well done Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Man Utd managed at Huddersfield today though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to talk more. I like Simpson. His job gets often unnoticed but he's really solid behind. He makes up for Mahrez's limited defensive abilities (he tracks back, he's just shit defensively) but no overlapping FB is criminal at this level.

smr Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 with the right manager i think we should be aiming for a top 10 finish looking at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Iborra is a class act. Settled he will be a real asset. Appleton showed the fear second half. Same thing that infected Shakey and Pearson. Got away with what should have been a comfortable win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I didn’t, I’ve been arguing the point with a family member that he needs gametime and you don’t just dismiss a player of that quality after a couple of games just for the sake of a quick moan.

Whats even more criminal is that we only have one right back at all - if anything happened to SImpson we would be up shit creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlock Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 A good and much needed result. We still failed to put away a few chances and could have won more comfortably. Iborra seems to have run the show which is positive looking at the forthcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 that was simply lovely! Okazaki, Iborra, Mahrez the standouts. Okazaki for his usual self. Iborra was a class above any other midfielder on the pitch. Ran the show from the middle of the park. Got the tackles in as was calm in possession in tricky spots. The kind of performance you would want from him. Mahrez showed us what we've been wanting as well. Had a hand in both goals. The other notable mention would be for King when he came on playing in more of an advanced role and supporting Vardy whilst trying to control the game. Definitely suits a midfield 3 as we all know and not in a defensive manner. Pleased with his performance too. Just hope we can build on it as Everton are there for the taking next Sunday.

fazzyfox Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Forgot what this feels like, Saturday afternoon, away win, smiles on faces, happy days. Three points, and not at home against a team who clearly weren't ready this time, a proper result. It's one game but it's as much as we could realistically expect from one game at the moment, many more challenges ahead but today has gone as well as it could so let's build on it and who knows we could even chase the mighty Brighton down any time soon. Enjoy your night, the wheels are turning, the lights are brightening, no looking down the table, as the philospher said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (he was standing on a cliff ledge at the time). We have taken three big steps, let's turn this into some momentum for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPinCarolina Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Salivating at the thought of an Iborra-Ndidi-Silva midfield in a 3-5-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Dontlie Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Last few minutes almost gave me palpitations but all in all well done, essential 3 points, Vince showed his class, great performances from Riyad and Shinji, Wes and Maguire, few others like Albrighton, Simpson, Ndidy, Vards even, a bit underwhelming. Old Fuchsy was just poor, what's wrong with him?? King gave a decent sub and was surprisingly visible, although they still overrun us in midfield, sadly that usually happens when Shinji goes off. First half we had a great attitude from the get go, we missed that so much. Shakes just had to go, we would never ever win it under him. We need a proper shake up and hopefully this game is a start of good things to come. Now I think I'll have an apple. Or a ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Nice good warm content, feeling. No silly, over analysing, no unwarranted OTT remarks, or critic.

foxfanazer Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Swansea must be the team we have the best record against since we got promoted?

Problem wasn't just the results, it was the compete lack of an obvious playing style, system or sense of progression. Playing appalingly, going a goal down and then chucking everyone forward to try and salvage a point/win 3 points in the last 10 minutes doesn't cut it. Change needed, change happened, let's move on happily and together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokinghamfox Posted 21 October 2017 Share Posted 21 October 2017 Totally dominated the first half and sat deep after their goal. But attitude first class. Iborra stood out with Maguire. Worth the journey to Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
