We won't see much of the ball today. Ndidi is doing great.

As supsected

Looks like Iborra and Ndidi taking it in turns. Interesting tactic from Puel, most would have thought Riyad 10 and Alby on the right

I love watching Appleton and Puel talk to each other. The odd couple.

I’m pleased with how Puel has us set-up today 

[ZeGuy]

[ozleicester]

Has intrigued me how comfortable they have been from day one

[ZeGuy]

Iborra for captain.

[KingsX]

Who is this physical SOB inhabiting Riyad's body?

[Nod.E]

So painful to watch Simpson hoof it straight back to their defenders every time we win back possession.

[StriderHiryu]

Close!

[UPinCarolina]

Mahrez looks ready and willing today. Always seems to get stoked up for Man City.

[ozleicester]

the feels when Mahrez gets the ball 

[justfoxes]

We’re not doing too bad at all !!

COME ON LEICESTER !!

More worried about his backing off into the box. I get that Sane is quick but don’t let him run into the penalty area. Good doubling from Riyad.

Me too. I think he likes Riyad vs Delph and Albrighton’s work rate in the middle.

I think Appleton is looking at this as an apprenticeship. Which is exactly what he needs, IMO.

15 mins gone. 0-0. Delighted

I get the feeling that Simpson's days in the starting XI may be numbered in our more possession based style, a new right back is likely to be high on CP's shopping list.

This, we need to feed to Vardys feet and let nature take its course

Agreed but versus Man City might not be the best time for him to start playing it around. It will take him time to develop that side of his game.

Thought Albrighton would be on the right helping Simpson against Sané and Mahrez in the hole. They can switch though.

[StriderHiryu]

Sane is worrying. Class act.

We look a lot more fluid under Puel (and I’m going to give Appleton credit too), so probably this.
