I'm not saying I'm not happy that we won, I am of course.  But like literally every other poster has said, its papering over the cracks. And this result will justify to Rodgers in his own mind that he's doing everything right, which is an issue. 

We're third in the league, 1 point off top. Maybe what Rodgers is doing is right. The better teams often win close games like that through just having more quality and that's what happened today. We weren't at our best second half but on the balance of the game we certainly deserved to win.

Can I take this opportunity to apologise for referring to Man U as Shithouse Utd.

Never ever ever do that. Unless shithouse United is too soft and you want to come back with more profanities for them.

I don't really understand how you can watch the Fulham game and think the way forward is to double down on the same mistakes.

Is Rodgers actively trying to get sacked? 

 

Turned out alright in the end, lads.

[RowlattsFox]

Got away with one really, not that it was a bad performance, there was just no urgency to win the game. We were patient, and Rodgers will say he knew a chance would come and we'd take it. I guess we did, but we all know we can't keep doing that. We know if Maddison and Vardy get it right, we'll be in but we need to do it more. 

 

Always in control, some tidy performances without anyone being outstanding. 

 

Was anyone else nervous about offside after he'd chopped the corner flag in half?

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

Oh god, how good does a win feel. This style though, it’s hard to love. Appreciate that part of it is dictated by the opposition set up but we need to be quicker and ****ing improve our set plays. A wins a win and much needed. Madders was off it today but lovely ball through and Jamie Vardy - king.

I'm genuinely disappointed for the wonderful posters that predicted us to lose.

What a sorry state of mind so many are in to be unable to enjoy the game, get help, seriously, open up and work through your problems. 

 

This season is exceptional. 

 

 

Can tell that there are posters who are disappointed we have won that so they can't come on here and drop page long essays about how crap we are

[Hammo]

Did we ever need that?

Arguably his worst ever game for us and then he goes and scores an absolute classic Jamie Vardy goal.

 

you beauty!

[Dan]

Thought we were dire second half but on the balance of 90 minutes, probably just about deserved, they were no better put it this way.

 

Vardy's simply the reason we're anywhere near the top. Can't be argued now. He never seems to slow down.

Lolz. 

Haha I love you Rumble and feel free to laugh at me my man. We played a team with no confidence and 1 point from 9 games. 

 

It's taken a last minute winner to beat a team that could barely string 2 passes together. We continue playing like we did in the last 2 league games and we will drop a lot of points

He literally substituted him for another striker.

 

I don't rate Kelechi and the sub was shit but it wasn't negative.

I was referring more to not bringing on another attacking player in the last 20 minutes. 

[l444ry]

Seems to be a lot of comments by people trying to avoid egg on their faces by justifying their doomsday scenario predictions.

Takes off our 2 best performers to ‘get minutes in someone’s legs and for a contest winner. 
 

shocking management. Lucky he had someone in the side just dying to two foot a corner flag 

Wilf was badly needed for set pieces and long balls. Having the ability to screen McBurnie was useful 

[LCFCABC]

See my previous posts. 

 

Poor performance again. Result irrelevant. 

 

We need Wilf and Cats back in the side asap. 

 

Very lucky against the worst side in the league

Really? We were by far the better team. Are you ever happy?

Up until the last 5 matches yes.

 

Obviously you'd not pick up on that though.

 

We may have been the better team, does that mean we weren't anything other than dire?

 

Negative football.

 

But if you wanna paper over the cracks I talk about so be it.

Cant even celebrate that because the three points just hides the fact that we've been crap for a month, were crap today, and will be crap in the immediate future if Rodgers doesn't change his mindset to games.

What the fook is wrong with our supporters? 
This is the second or third comment I’ve seen like this! 
What’s the point in watching football if you can’t celebrate your team scoring a last minute winner!

[bovril]

If Justin or Iheanacho had stuck away that late chance against Fulham, we'd be joint top. 

[Spudulike]

Last 20 minutes were painful. Maddison so wasteful. Take him off set pieces. First half saw signs of the passing and movement returning.

 

Youri ran the show. 

 

Justin MOTM. 

 

We are staying up!
