I still don't have your confidence in Choudhury.

 

He does a fair job in tackling, though he goes to ground a little too easily. But his passing range is very limited - even more so than N'didi's - and I feel it blunts our attack a lot. 

I personally find it baffling a player who was so foolish in getting sent off finds his place back within two weeks. Particularly given his movement off the ball to the defence is static 

[Tielemans63]

Nervous about this one which is unusual for me. Vardy out for us, Buendia in for them.....all the ingredients are there. 

[Shane]

Buendia back in the starting 11 for them. Second most chances created in the league this year, stopping him will be key.

For probably qualifying for the CL ? We are still 3rd. Enjoy the ride. No Vardy gives others a chance. He's not been great recently, or Tielemans.

Get at 'em Lestahs!

His second yellow was avoidable but don't forget, his first yellow was for a magnificent tackle. He can't be held responsible for Mike Deans incompetence on that one.

Not at all, he’s the reason we’ve been punching so far above our weight. I’d say it’s the quality we lack compared to others, he’s squeezed every ounce of that out of us so far. He’s been sensational.

“I wonder how he manages to come across as authoritative and also nurturing” kind of thing?

He had a choice to make when he made that second tackle. Just like he did in the summer with England Under 21s. He’s not ready for a team in our position personally. Needs to learn the game more.

Stats don’t lie as well on this

Not my opinion, I’m just saying there will be a section of our fan base which will begin to question him.

Am I right in thinking that vards injury at the new year was also a calf ???

Personally I’m not so fussed because I think we are on paper the sixth best team in the league. 
 

But we’ve failed to react to poor results under Rodgers, ultimately fans don’t like losing games and we’ve lost a few recently

Come On Leicester!

We get it. You don't like Brendan and you don't like Hamza. Any others we add to the list? 

[ronnup]

Gray is our bench option if we need a goal. Ffs

Yeah, the section that should crawl into a hole and rot.

Great captained Vardy today! Doh

The "sixth best team in the league on paper" are actually third and yet Rodgers should be questioned?

 

I get that we've frustrated at times but he's done an incredible job on the whole.

Looks like someone doesn’t understand the nuance of language

I haven’t said he should be questioned. I am saying he will be questioned

Ah, okay. Fair enough. You're probably right. Sadly.

[Tuna]

Not too fussed about Vardy's absence, Iheanacho deserves his chance and I expect him to take it.

 

We need to turn the corner here and put in a professional performance - nothing less than comfortable victory will do.

Are you referring to his last game when he was played out of position? You  clearly haven't seen as much of Praet as I have because he's a very dynamic passer of the ball.
