Thought it was a yellow - took the ball first no intent....

yeah same, think it's a bit harsh, some here making out like he went at his shin with a machete

Is Praet OK? Horrendous challenge. 

walking wounded, welcome to the Premier League Dennis Praet.

Very lucky, slo-mo proves that. 

[Guest MarshallForEngland]

I thought it was literally a leg-breaker at first, it was horrific. Praet rotates away at the very last second which is what stopped it from being much worse as his leg bent naturally at the knee under the force of the challenge. Grim.

[ScouseFox]

it took 43 minutes for the ref to get his first right decision of the day. absolutely diabolical performance from him. genuinely think he got every single call wrong until then, from throw ins to fouls to corners to cards. horror show. 

 

the game is pretty boring. we’re a lot better than them and if we manage to not win i’ll be furious. 

[Chester Dontlie]

Looks like Praet is all right, hope he will be able to continue after the break

Leg breaker

The bloke followed through with all his body weight onto Praet's legs. Excessive force. Nailed on red.

Will be interesting to hear Bruce's comments about the red absolute shocking challenge, they are doggo and specialising in shithousing a  result. Need to keep the tempo up and finish them off . Hope Praet can continue playing well and the team is linking up well

[AjcW]

You just know Bruce will reference Hamza post match  and probably Youri from a few weeks back! 

[Guest BlueBrett]

the head on ones are always much worse than coming in from any other angle

[StriderHiryu]

Brendan Rodgers is an exceptional coach and manager. The best coaches can improve individuals and the team as a result. There are so many examples I could give but here are just a few:

- Soyuncu no longer rash, times his challenges and defends as a pair properly with Evans.

- Chilwell and Barnes link up effectively now. They never did this under Puel.

- Ndidi's distribution has improved massively. Don't think he gave the ball away in that half, whereas before he panicked under pressure and could be pressed to get the ball back.

- Vardy's runs and chasing down make acres of space for the attacking midfielders to run into. Look at Ricardo's goal, and the space Vardy occupies vacate the space for him.

- The team presses as a unit winning the ball back time and time again.

- One-two's and overlapping runs are so much more effective all over the pitch.

 

 

The title win was something else, but honestly this team is the best ball playing Leicester team I have seen in my lifetime. Impressed!

If that isn’t a red card what is? As soon as I saw it in real time I said ‘he’s off!’. 

 

Red card every day of the week and fair play to the ref getting it done immediately and not relying on VAR.

[Vacamion]

The two I'd like to see a tad more from are Barnes and Perez, but largely everyone has been very good in terrible conditions. 

[Guest]

We are a higher class in this match.

 

Now we've just got to push it home for the win.

 

hope we get an early second (and third) so I can relax and enjoy the rest.

[Lambert09]

Can’t be the only one terrified about Newcastle shithousing this with an Andy Carroll header.

 

desperate for that second goal 

[urban.spaceman]

Thought it was more clumsy than malicious at first but that’s 2 footed studs up and on both shins. Stonewall red. 

[That_Dude]

Jog on Sourness, you would walk off in the first 15 minutes nowadays. 

[Legend_in_blue]

How Praet is still running around I'll never know.

 

Looked as though his leg and/or ankle were done.  Shocking challenge when you watch it back it gets worse with every view.

Awesome ! Excatly what i wanted to hear ..are you married? If not you would make a great husband

 

 

Crikey, rumours of Foxes Talk merging with OK Cupid were true! Can all you others log off for a bit and leave us to it! Happy to be of service to you. I can cook, I like days out on the coast, I like music and comedy, have no pets and don't believe in the relevance of star signs...unless you do.

[Fox85]

I honestly thought that was the end for Dennis Preat for the season, looks so bad in slow motion.

 

Absolute leg breaker right there.

Check your picture Suzie (but we forgive you) when Souness calls a straight red with no defence you know it is a red
