Liverpool fans genuinely think they should have had three penalties. Fair enough with Keita but Chilwell on Matip and Maguire on Salah lol. Wet wipes the lot of them.

ah, bless

Chilwell punching the ball into the stands: time wasting or smart? 

Smart time wasting.

 

We see so much sh*thousing from other teams when we're looking for a goal, I really don't think we did enough of it. That was the only example I can think of from tonight.

 

I hate it as much as the next fan and believe more should be done to stamp it out, but the rules are there to be exploited and we don't while others do.

 

Prime example was using our last sub within normal time. Most teams wait until added time, take a minute doing it, doesn't get added on to the added time.

 

People might think I'm nitpicking because clearly there were so many positives from an amazing result and performance, but that naivety will be the difference on other nights.

Am I the only one that thought it was a shrewd decision to bring on Okazaki instead of Barnes, as was being called out for? 

I'm delighted with the point and would have been sickened if we lost... Okazaki helped shore the defensive 'block' up for the short time he was on. 

Appreciate I may be in the minority here... 

if we were gonna bring barnes on it should’ve been much earlier, made it our first sub whilst we were still going for a win.  

 

no point bringing him on when we were clearly not going to attack for the rest of the game, so fair play to puel for that.

with hindsight it was clever cos it worked. the ref blew up on 94.04 or something so he literally did waste time. 

 

if the ref had added the time wasted taking the GK and throwing the ball away it would’ve been a waste. 

 

but i guess it’s probably always worth taking that risk.

Both Mendy and Ndidi were massively improved over the last couple of months. Helped our defence with them playing well 

 

I'm speculating obvs, but I think they were both running out of gas in December.

 

I'm not saying they are perfect, or even that they compliment each other in this system, But I think they are both good players, taken individually.

"Team of young players in highly inconsistent performances shocker!"

 

Honestly the state of the press these days...

I dunno mate. For me he summed up our ongoing Puel debate/divide in a very succinct way.

I'd have taken that before the game. 67 million for Allison? Liverpool were robbed.

Was saying this at the game today. I dont get the big deal with him. I really dont rate him at all and think he's an accident waiting to happen.

Great performance tonight apart from the 1st 10 mins and we kept Liverpool very quiet and could have even sneaked it ourselves. Once we got the first 15 mins out the way, we dominated the rest of the 1st half and deserved our equaliser. Came out much quicker at start of 2nd half and we looked good and just had to soak up the pressure in the last 15 minutes as we'd expect away to top of the league. Overall, good performance from the guys and Puel has proved again he has a knack of upsetting the top 6, just needs to find ways of beating the dross in the bottom half of the league. Bring on United!

Excellent performance and result. If anything we got nearer to winning it than they did.

 

I just cannot fathom how we're this good against the top sides and so awful against the bottom. I get that some teams are a bit like that but this is extraordinary.

Give us the space and we're dangerous, it's that simple. Wolves, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Watford and so on, give us an inch and that's literally all we'll use but we'll exploit the miles.

What a crazy club Leicester is!

 

Brilliant result that could have been even better. Loads of good chances, particularly the Maddison header and the one where Gray should have passed to Maddison. Got a little bit lucky with ref decisions at times I thought, but perhaps makes up for the overwhelming percentage when we’ve been robbed.

 

The PL could save everyone a load of time by just starting our matches at 15 mins in, with us already 1 0 down.

 

Both Mendy & Ndidi much improved.

That is superb! The young one has a big future.
 

I (like a lot of people) have been talking for a while about our youth.... i really think we are setting ourselves for an exciting 3-4 years from 19/20 onwards. Cup finas and Europe will be likely if we can hold this squad.

Fantastic point and if it stops the entitled fans and media love in for a bit even better,  come on man city.

So just ignore his breaking up play then because it suits your narrative, he is a defensive mid not a cam, how many assists did kante get in the league winning team?

 

Kante - 4 assists, 1 goal, Mendy(0,0).

 

Well you did ask.

 

I have no axe to grind with Mendy but it seems a bit daft to try and support your argument by comparing him with Kante.   NG was expert at getting counter attacks going, stealing the ball and driving forward quickly.

Great point. Gutsy point.

 

Bottom half of the table now but if we keep playing with that spirit, and start taking our chances, we won't stay there.

 

Maddison the only disappointment. Ndidi's best game all season. All defenders excellent (total opposite to Wolves).

 

Big lift for everyone before Sunday's game.

I agree. Maddison needs to shape up. I fear he believes his own hype.

Take a look at Chilwell James, that is how hard YOU should be working.

Gif form, as I'm sure you'll all agree is needed for this incredible moment.

 Better than sex... Don't tell the wife.

Ricardo outstanding for me. His best of the season. Always a threat going forward but his defensive judgement was fantastic, too. 

 

Special mention to Gray despite one piece of naivety, and Jonny Evans who always looks solid. Up the Foxes!

Simple answer, we are better defending than attacking.
