RonnieTodger Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 What a feeling . Even if we **** up the Champions League, Europe is in the bag. Got to say we were great tonight. Vardy superb, the whole back three were solid, Morgan fantastic, brilliant to see Luke Thomas playing so well, James Justin excellent, Youri bossed it, great finish from Perez. Fair play Rodgers too. Got to take credit because not many were confident looking at that XI.

Well hopefully we can all go into the Spurs game with a bit of positive mentality now. We might not make the champions league still but If we go down fighting we can all be proud.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Securing top 5 is enough for me. Champions league would be great but **** me. European football and 5th best team in the league. That’s great progress.
st albans fox Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Good job Thomas looked ok as he has to play the next two !
LCCFox96 Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Chris Wilder summed it up perfectly tonight: "Their fight was bigger than ours". That for me is the biggest thing - what a response! Praise where it's due, to a man, we were absolutely superb tonight. We battled hard and dominated the midfield and we muscled Sheffield United out of the game. We moved the ball well and we nullified the high energy levels in their game. All things I didn't expect from tonight, especially after I saw the team sheet. That's the first time since football resumed where we've really stepped up to the plate and shown our mettle. Absolutely chuffed! A word on Tielemans though, outstanding tonight. That's the Youri I want to see week in week out. Always making himself available for the ball, good range of passing, picking players out in dangerous areas and fantastic energy all game. I thought young Luke Thomas looked very assured and had a good game, a nice assist too. Justin as well I thought had a much improved game, same for Ndidi. And as for Wes: hero.
foxfanazer Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Southgate must be seething that he didn't value Vardy more when he had him as an option. Brilliant selfless work tonight
hejammy Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Couldn't fault any of them today. Worked hard and fought for the ball and the game. Barnes second half wasn't upto scratch but apart from that everyone played their part. Youri was what we wanted to see from him since the loan. His passing was on another level.

All I want is for the lads to put in 100% from here on, and if we don't make top 4, then so be it. But delighted with the season overall. This club finished 12th, 9th and 9th in the last 3 seasons!
Farrington fox Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 What was the consensus on the boy Justin tonight?

Jattdogg Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Fanfukintastic. I think some of us have been critical of Rodgers and rightly so. But at the same time he got it absolutely spot on tonight and credit where due to him. I know we all want champs league but even just getting Europa had made me super happy so chanps league would be absolute icing on the cake. Hope the boys are up for the spurs challenge it wont be easy. Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Hammo Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 We all had our doubts about whether this team has a backbone. Those doubts were shredded tonight. I don’t think it is a coincidence that Warrior Wes was out there captaining the side. What a man! And Thomas was flawless. An amazing debut. Far better than any Chilwell performance this season. But my man of the match was Tielemans. When he purrs like he did tonight, he is truly world class. More of the same v Spurs and Man United please, Youri.
ultrafox Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 For all the stick he got after the Bournemouth match, Brendan got it spot on today. Well done Brendan!! Well done team.

Beachyboy Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 3 minutes ago, Reg Vardy said: Now if Chelsea get beat by Liverpool......... That performance and Chelseas two fixtures give me great hope of hanging on to top 4.
Bert Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Firstly, a very very good performance. Always in control. Some great individual performances, but what a team effort. Can’t finish any lower than 5th.
Cruss5 Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 The beauty is that it is in our hands still. We win and we are at least 4th. But we could still finish 4th if losing at spurs all depending on what the man u scores are. Still a great position to be in. Fantastic performance by all, this team beat chelsea 3-0 and we didn't give them a chance. If barnes could finish then 4 or 5. But he got into the positions and worked well with vardy. Also if he passed off to perez on one chance it was a certain goal. Exciting stuff
HankMarvin Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Ndidi 89% passing accuracy on top of those stats, embarrassing when he gets slagged for "not being able to pass" considering his main strengths are tackling and breaking up play and his one of the best in the league at doing it..
