ScouseFox Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 sounds like it was decent enough. other results going superbly for us in the last two weeks as well in terms of “the best of the rest” and even the fact united and chelsea look pathetic as per.

kingfox Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 When we get things clicking we are a brilliant side to watch, best performance of the season so far. It was a pretty even end to end start, Bournemouth equalised but after that they didn't really offer much, pretty much a piss easy day for the defence. We controlled the game especially in the second half, very comfortable and at times very impressive. Vardy MOTM by a mile, 10/10 performance. Tielemans needed that goal, as soon as he scored that he went onto have a cracking game. Ndidi did his job incredibly well again. Soyuncu and Evans were immense again, Soyuncu partly at fault for the goal but overall it was another positive performance from him. A mixed run coming up now, nothing to fear though, Man Utd and Spurs as seen so far have quite a few problems.
Blue ROI Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Missed this today. Delighted to read the positive comments on here. Most refreshing. Couldn't have wished for better. Well done lads.

UPinCarolina Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 While knowing that we can play more defensively is nice, we’re pretty obviously a more dangerous side with a central Maddison and Youri supported by wingers.
foxfanazer Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 That's the system that suits us. Top performance. Vardy out of this world and big Caglar was class
sishades Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Pathetic performance from all. Only three goals in front of a plastic audience of just 32000. Vardy does bugger all, Kaspars even worse....just look how clean his outfit was at the end. Simply not good enough. Rodgers out, McKlintock in!
Chester Dontlie Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 8 minutes ago, GeorgeTheFox said: Not a thrashing but definitely gave them a good diddling. That second half performance was so controlled and dominating. Vardy looked like he was back in his Championship days getting onto every back pass and scaring the keeper. Maddison looks so much better playing deeper and influencing the game more. Will go under the radar as its expected at this point but Ricardo was absolutely unbelievable.. kept Fraser quiet all game Loved the thumbs up between Brendan and Top at the end as well I really missed this sense of controlling the game against a mid/lower table teams under Puel, I hope this today wasn't just one off and we'll be bossing the games like today more often. We could easily add more goals and Bournemouth were looking completely disillusioned in the last stages of the game.
Foxymcoxy Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Many good performances, obviously Vardy stands out and Tielemans best performance of the season is a very good sign!
KansasFox Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 The commentator on my stream was adamant that Youri's "challenge" was a red. I think VAR got that right. For me, he wasn't even making a challenge the ball was turned over and then as he turns he puts his foot down and Wilson's momentum put him in the path of where he would place his foot. He was looking away and on the turn. Unfortunate, but not a dangerous challenge for me. Caglar I think was at fault for their goal (loosing Wilson), but after that he was immense. Some incredibly good tackles, and also just his positioning was excellent!
StriderHiryu Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 We are a really decent, borderline good team. It was thrilling to watch the game today! I think today was a really good team performance, two players were truly outstanding for me, in Jamie Vardy and Caglar Soyuncu, but in general we were good all round. Albrighton I thought made a huge difference when he was on the pitch, and Tielemans got a goal and an assist. Ironically I would still say his performance was "only" a 7/10, but that's because we know what he is capable of. In fact a very scary thing is that we are on 8 points after 4 games, and some of our top players haven't hit top form yet. Other good players today were Maddison (should have scored), Evans (solid), Kasper (solid), Ricardo, Chilwell, Ndidi even Gray when he came on was good, and should have scored also. Probably only Barnes had a stinker and we know he's going to be up and down as a winger trying to find his way in the Premier League. I have been consistently impressed by Rodgers since he took over, and I was again today. I think he made some really astute changes to the team at different times in the game. The match was too open in the first 25 minutes and I think Bournemouth thoroughly deserved their equaliser. They are a good team with decent players themselves. But he managed to get our boys to control the game a lot better in the second half whilst retaining our fairly fluid attack. Then in the second half, Gray made a big difference, Hamza was superb again (IMO once he came on I thought it was game over, he just monstered the midfield) and even going to a back 3 at the end with Fuchs to see the game out was intelligent. It's not the first time he's made great subs and managed to change the flow of a game, something that Puel struggled with during his tenure here. A special word on Jamie Vardy. What a bloody amazing player. Has there even been a better million pounds spent in our history? Totally unplayable today. This was him in vintage 15/16 form where he could win games by himself. He's my all time favourite player, and it was truly a joy to watch him play like he did today. Top top class. We've surely got to get excited as fans. The crazy thing is we still have several gears to go through if you ask me. Maddison for example has had a very good start to the season but isn't hitting the back of the net. If he adds that to his game, he will become a superstar. Tielemans much better today, but we all know what he is capable of. There are many other players in the team that can also do more than they have shown so far. For a young team to play so vibrantly, the future is so promising. Most of these players are only going to get better, that is the really exciting thing. Next 4 games are Man United away, Spurs home, Luton away in the cup and Newcastle home in the league. Think we will know where we really stand after those games. Man United in particular we surely have a great chance to get something, they have been well off form. It's brilliant to watch your team play like this in the sun again! It took me 3 and a half hours to get to the game today because of trainline improvements, but not even bothered after seeing that. COYB!

Thought Tielemans played really well, too. Albrighton the workhorse, same for Barnes. We controlled the game for most part, this is the way Rodgers has us set up and now I'm very glad to see it finally fully clicking. Slick passing, Vardy everywhere, midfielders that can both score and pass with ease, young talents galore, and a back four that grows together more and more. This is still a very young side on the whole, so I'll forgive the odd error here and there. It's a learning process - and we seem to be learning quickly. Bournemouth mainly came across as a bunch of moaners, fakers and ugly tacklers. Lerma and Billing the two main culprits, but it also speaks for Maddison and Tielemans for being able to get on their nerves that much. Only downside for me was Gray again for trying to create something overly fancy instead of choosing the direct path. And Maddison in front of goal is still somewhat wasteful... The next few games won't be that "easy", though. Still, let's take this in - still unbeaten (including pre-season) and now in third place! The future's bright, the future's Leicester. Onwards and upwards. Indeed. Great controlled performance. Fuchs was great too when he came on. I would like to thinkt that had he started we would have been even better going forward. Thought Chilwell did ok, and he made a great pass to Vardy, but otherwise did not do much going forward and was out of position a few times. I think Fuchs would also bring Barnes into the game a bit more. By the way, I also really like Ricardo and Albrighton on the other side. They were running havoc down the right side. Much more effective than Ricardo / Perez.
Merging Cultures Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 I guess I shouldn't watch matches any more. First match I've not watched in a long time. Grr.

sishades Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 When Vardy signed I was angry that City appeared to be wasting £1m on a non league player. What a bargain that has turned out to be. A true Leicester Legend and top class footballer. At 32 he really is a delight to watch. Easily MotM today.
Charl91 Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 The question is, why does Soyuncu only get 2 points in my fantasy football team, for that performance? Vardy has to be MOTM - won so much by chasing them down today, and some class goals. Tielemans had a stinker first half, but outstanding in the second. Thought Soyuncu (other than the goal) was amazing, and Evans was as reliable as always. Gray proved that he's a fairly good bench option to have too, if not a starter.

IsItMuzzy Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Tielemans was a different player after his goal. Made a few wayward passes in the first half but seemed more composed after he scored. Hope his confidence is up and he can start playing at the same level as last season.
Guest WarehamFox Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Great team performance, but can anyone explain what happened to the new rule where if you are being subbed you go off at the nearest point of the pitch you are. Today all six subbed players walked off at the halfway line near the benches.
