Oh fvck off Ashley Cole “Justin James” again, that’s the final nail in the coffin from sky tonight, appalling coverage tonight.

Sky are just terrible 

[Nuneatonfox in Manchester]

“The intent was good” **** off Cole.

 

Why are they praising Nketieh for nearly breaking “Justin Janes” leg.

[BirminghamFox]

Decent point... that extra point means Man U have to win rather than draw a game to overtake us

[Coalman]

Did Vardy come off with an injury that he picked up at the time of his goal?

 

[majaco]

Ashley Cole, please understand this.  It is James Justin.  Not Justin James.  

 

Ps: congrats on your prep for the match,

We just lose our way far too easily

True, I think it’s just confidence. We are a very sensitive team. When we’re on form we are bloody brilliant, when we’re crap, it’s shocking. And it shows.

Fook Me Kavanagh went to the pitch side monitor to take a look wtf first time in LCFC var history ?

If we forget a lot of 2020 and just focus on that performance tonight on the back of Saturday and we are a much better outfit. I simply loved how direct and fast we were, even of we left ourselves open. Right now we have to take risks as we are on the verge of it being out of our hands and the slow possession based football wasn't remotely troubling teams.

 

We now have Vardy suddenly amongst the goals and don't be surprised to see him getting another 5 or 6 before the end of the season, if he does then we will likely be celebrating CL qualification. These next 2 games have to be wins. I've a feeling Man Utd will slip up against Villa (although relying on them arseholes is pathetic).

 

All we can now do is end the season really positively, if we do that then the future at least feels bright. If Chelsea and Man Utd win every game until the end of the season then just like us when we went on that run you have to hold your hands up, but it is still in our hands. These next 2 games are so massive. Win those and at worst we go in to the final game where we are a win away from the top 4 and that is incredible.

 

Proud of them tonight, its easy to hark back to the substandard football and results of 2020 but we are turning a corner and as a fan we cannot seriously dismiss that.

 

Justin was superb tonight, Perez much much dangerous centrally and I honestly haven't felt we've missed Maddison. Bennett was solid but Vardy was the absolute bollocks tonight. The crosses for Iheanacho in both halves as well as that finish were why he is the greatest man to ever grace the city of Leicester.

 

4 cup finals to go, it feels like we can still do it. The zip and confidence is there. Come on you fcukin Blue Boys.

Ricardo is for me the best right back in the division

These two are a parody of punditry - FFS

[steflcfc]

All things considered a decent point away as Kasper kept us in it first half.

 

Just a shame we didn’t really push for a winner with 10 mins to go, Its like we were the team trying to run the clock down in injury time so so fustrating.

 

Kasper and Evans has good games Everyone else average. But 4 out of 6 points and Bournemouth in free fall hopefully we can get another 3 points.

 

As much as we don’t want it this way, it’s certainly going to go down to the wire that’s for sure.

Miserable?  I’m pointing out how pooor a player was. Way below standard required. Lost opportunity because of poor quality touches and passes 

It's so negative to jump on a player straight away after a match like that. Especially when he didn't have a shocker and was just quiet. That kind of negativity is why I avoid this forum quite a lot. It does my head in.

[Tielemans63]

So Vardy did cause the Arsenal back four a few problems after all eh, Andy?

Barnes. Should have been subbed he was so bad 

barnes for nacho was a head scratcher.

 

Especially when it was right after nacho struck a tough ball fairly well.

 

There was a period late on at 1-1 when 2 balls were pinged ot barnes, he pinged them both back to the passer, when I felt he should have turned and tried to beat his man.  Something he would have done earlier in the season.

The two worst creations in the history of the World tonight became the best.

 

Thank you Chris Kavanagh 

Thank you VAR 

Don't thank them. VAR is there to find a way to rule out the goal (not give us a goal). On this occasion they couldn't.

Gray's simply not good enough is he?

Barnes was awful. At least Gray got an assist.

[Stuntman_Mike]

Strange feeling this. 

 

Happy to not lose at an improving Arsenal. 

 

Gutted that we've dropped a place and generally look like a squad in decline all over the place.

 

I feel more tense and nervous about getting this CL spot than I did during the title run in. 

 

Trying to be positive, but this is torture haha.

'They won't have any trouble with Vardy tonight' - Ashley Cole, 2020.

Yeah i'm thinking beat Bournemouth and Sheff utd, hopefully grab a draw at Spurs and it will be in our hands come the last day of the season.

Hopefully a win at spuds look bang average, hopefully they have nothing to play for by then.

 

We are looking better, we should have enough against Bournemouth and Sheff Utd if we play like this.

 

Excellent refereeing tonight from Chris Kavanagh. Credit where it's due, good intelligence to use the monitor.

He injured himself during a sprint closing down just after, he didn't look right after that

[foxes_rule1978]

Ashley, not the smartest tool in the box. He does talk rubbish

The Guy was class before he joined us - the only surprise Is no one else took a punt before us.

 

But not a bad player for Justin to learn from and as you say, I like what I’ve seen from him.

 

A lot was asked of him tonight, but he stuck to it.

I think teams made the same mistake with Ricardo that they did with Kante. He seems small and not physically well built so not suitable for the division. The irony of course being that like Kante he has made the most tackles of any right back in the league (or he had before getting injured). Their loss is our gain and though Puel will never be liked on here, getting Ricardo and Maddison in were very good moves he helped push through.

Cole is better than most at actually picking apart video footage about defending but he’s a shit pundit in every other sense
