Leicester 3-0 Crystal Palace Post match

Recommended Posts

For me, this proves both Ian & Vards upfront is the way to go. I wish BR was playing them together more often, not only in home games with poor opposition or where we trail 0-2

 

Also, BARNESINHO!!!  Take a bow son

I was screaming for a formation change and for Perez to be the tip of the diamond behind Vardy / Iheanacho before the Everton game, I thought it worked brilliantly today. 
 

So buzzing to see Vardy back on the scoresheet too, a perfect day all round.

Same. Also wanted Albrighton to start which was the right call. Chilwell going off meant football was more fluent and faster down the left. Btw, Fuchs’s crosses are still good!

I like a spot of 3-5-2…. Would like to see it again

Bennett gives us good options.

 

Would actually be hilarious if he scores the winner that denies Wolves a Champions League place lol

James Justin brilliant today against Zaha, kept him quiet all game and looks very good in the Wing Back role

Agreed. Had a mare v Everton but was excellent today against a very, very good player. Says a lot about his character.

No Chilwell (second half). No Maddison. 2 upfront - formation change. What Foxestalk wanted before the game.

On current form having those two out of the team might not be the worst thing ever. Chilwell I personally think people are overly harsh on as offensively I think he's been good since the restart, and not just for his goal against Watford. He has been culpable for some defensive gaffs though. Fuchs is better defensively, but with Ricardo out of the team we need our fullbacks to provide width.

 

When we went 352 we played quite well, even though Albrighton had to cut back to cross. Will be interesting to see if we start that way against Arsenal.

Apologies Brendan. Apologies Vards.

 

I liked the formation today. Thought Wilf was incredible and Ayoze worked his nuts off. 3 at the back worked well when Bennett came on.

Bang on , I  thought Perez was top notch today  as well.

Still so confused why Wolves let him come to us.

Lots of praise for Wilf, Barnes and Vardy (rightly so) but for me Youri had another very solid game. He’s so much better when utilised further forward - which was outlined in that second half.

Totally agree. We forget this lad was playing in League One this time last year. He's no Ricardo (yet), but for a young player in his debut Premier League season playing through a global health pandemic in which he lost his father... he's doing a fantastic job. Arsenal offered 60m for Zaha, and Justin had him in his pocket the entire game!

 

I think in terms of raw number of games played, his performance level given the number of games he has played is better than where Chilwell, Barnes or Hamza were at a similar number of games. Of the young guns only Soyuncu and Ndidi were better after that many games played.

sorry for re-posting halftime stats ... the good stuff from whoscored to make up for it:

What a massive win, really enjoyed that.

 

When the formation changed to 3-5-2, we looked so much better.

 

Evans was absolutely tremendous too by the way.

Now we have the result we all wanted, perhaps all the in-match miseries might care to see that the only thing missing was a bit of luck and some end product.

Yeah, thought both Albrighton and Fuchs did well too. Fuchs’ crosses are still good too - and I like that he does not waste time and gets forward early.

Evans was massive, thought we seemed to soak up the pressure well enough, didn't flap. Zaha had a decent chance late on (think Youri was playing him on) but that aside we kept shape really well. Getting the first goal really is huge for this lot.

Nearly always is.

Thought Ayoze was great today. Worked hard and got between the lines. He's a good back up to Maddison in that 10 role.

Thank the Lord we needed that win another 5 to go !!

Great to see Vardy get over that Brick wall and back to scoring with ease that 100th goal was a weight around his neck and knocked his confidence, now hopefully he can Get back and score for fun now?💙🦊💙

Hope the dog didn't piss on the shirt.
