Annoyed that BBC say 'Late VAR goal gives Leicester win'.

 

Er, should be 'Late Iheanacho goal gives Leicester win'!

VAR is even getting the plaudits over our fookin players!

Forget the VAR decision and the fact the flag went up...how good did he take that goal? 

 

First touch to put it in his stride, second to do the defender, third into the back of the net.

 

He's had a tough time, and whatever we think of him, he took his chance there. 

 

Impressive.

**** off VAR we are massive.

 

And I could (and probably will) watch that Nacho goal all week.

 

I’m so happy for the lad.

 

 

Surely we all must be happy for nacho man. Let's hope he gains confidence from this game

I mentioned this in the Ndidi thread, but honestly he's not only on that Kante level, he could actually be above it. The reason is his passing has been immaculate. He's actually starting moves, and not just with short passes, but raking cross-field passes to find our full backs or wide forwards in space. His close control and touch is also almost Vieria level. Last season around this time, he was giving the ball away carelessly and had the touch of someone wearing clown shoes and it looked like he had regressed. Kante was great but he wasn't a play maker. The way Ndidi played today, for large parts of the game he was actually one of our most creative players and he was effective too.

 

Right now he's the best defensive midfielder in the world. And it is not hyperbole to to say it!

 

 

He's brilliant.

 

They're all brilliant.

 

****ing love it.

The mrs, 3 kids and the dog think there's something wrong with me...went absolutely mental, then slid along the living room floor on my knees 

Hope you've got a wood floor. Those carpet burns can be nasty.

Brendan has the Midas touch, has moulded us into a very hard team to beat and given Nacho the confidence to resurrect his mojo.

The scenes at the end brilliant.

Scenes!

 

What a lovely picture!

 

It always makes me laugh though that Ihenacho has such a murder face. The only person not happy is him!

 

Great to see this team spirit again... that's what won us the title in 2016 IMO. Not at our best today but got all 3 points and a sub turned up when we needed him. Nacho the new Ulloa!? Could be, and what a nice surprise that would turn out to be as Ulloa was immense for us in that run in.

[Kendal Fox]

Apologies if someone's already mentioned/asked this, but is 6 consecutive league wins a new record for us?

VAR.  

 

Iheanacho was immense and got what he deserved.

 

We played fairly averagely and still won.

 

Fear us.

 

 

Credit to Everton too. They set themselves up well and also had a few chances.

[whoareyaaa]

that Nacho celebration brilliant 

[Guest Danny Clender]

That's an Iheanacho I can respect!

Brendan saw the opportunity and Ihenacho turned the game.

 

Sensational stuff.

What is the rule on this? If Everton stopped play, is that their fault or could the ref not give the goal because of interference by the linesman?
