Surprised at some of the stick Chilly was getting in the match thread. Yes he makes errors but the lad is quality for his age and is only going to get better. He really gives us something extra with his pace and forays forward. He's class for a 21 year old.

Vintage Shinji he can humiliate opposite teams even when having a concussion. Goal of the month

Defensively we were shambles but that's well deserved 3 points. I'm not sure about playing Mahrez Gray and Albrighton at the same time. The midfield was all over the place, thankfully we have Ndidi. Mahrez and Gray were great but this formation is exposing our defence. Chills for all his pace and dribbling skills is highly prone to defensive errors

Huh?   Id’ve been furious if he hadn’t won that!

I only saw the second half and that's what I based that on.

 

Thought neither teams offered much going forward in the second half.

 

I take it we must have been great in the first half?

I think we deserved that, However.. Jamie Vardy will not get many goals under Puel, the build up play can be quite slow and he's hardly getting any service in behind or from out wide.

 

He's still working hard and tying up 2 defenders though. He's well worth his place in the team.

You must be joking.

 

Chilwell was great and Fuchs came on and was beaten twice.

 

Deserved win even if it was in an unusual way. Wish we'd keep attacking when we go ahead in a game and put it away.

 

Well done Leicester.

 

Is that 8th by any chance? :ph34r:

 

I know you want to credit for that call, FIF, but let's not forget we had to change manager to make it happen.

I can't believe there are some criticising that performance. Yeah, the first 10 minutes were dreadful, but we were head and shoulders above them for the rest apart from a couple of mistakes and the odd unlucky deflection. 

On one hand I agree with you Ted but I think the frustration stems less from the performance more from the fact that we absolutely dominated them but lapses in our concentration kept giving them a sniff in a game which should never have been as tight as that.

Great to win when we weren't at our best. 

 

A bit harsh on Newcastle I felt but a big 3 points. 

 

Grade A marks for Claude so far.couldn't have asked for more. 

 

The only downside to this was that we might be looking at the last few days of Mahrez at Leicester. 

 

A tall order to get something at Southampton maybe after good away form but they won't fancy playing us.

I know it wasn't perfect, but we had opportunities to fold, or settle for a point, and we did neither. That's a huge win in some adversity (2 strong penalty shouts), and the bottle, character and will to win was fantastic to see.

Showed a lot of characters at 2-2. Their fans were right back in it.

Yeah, fair enough. It's progress though- we dominated possession away from home and were worthy winners. That hasn't happened often enough in the last 18 months.

We should never have kept him on. He's why I only said top 8 and not higher. :)

We were significantly better in first half…

 

I was also aluding to the fact that Newcastle were pretty atrocious for the entire 90 mins
