I can only hope you're a viralogist or epidemologist , which I doubt, or live a long way from me. I only got BT sport going just too late to watch the Japanese Knee Ceremony but I did n't mind missing the rugby scrum. Peoples' lives are at stake here, not to mention football continuing. We know what Bill Shankly might have joked about that but like Jock Stein, and Dalgleish he knew what was really important. Everyone knows how football works , its taken as a role model for many. Sorry but I think we have to wonder why Britain is running level with the third world in practically all the statistics.

Football should be cancelled then if lives are at stake like you say.

My Southampton supporting mate said ndidi was man of the match, broke up alot of thier attacks. 

Also said he couldn't shoot for toffee 😂😂

Good job he doesn’t play for Everton then...

[whoareyaaa]

vital win Maddision and Barnes producing a lot more regular now, Nididi and Youri superb

[Nalis]

Thought Southampton played well in general, which makes our win all the better.

It's ****ing ridiculous, we're a nation of absolute fannies and it makes zero sense from the COVID spreading perspective.

 

That point was because half the people who I've seen complaining about it on social media have absolutely zero idea that they're subject to tests every 24 or 48 hours (whatever the new protocol is) and have zero idea just how in contact with each other they are on a daily basis.

 

Fed up of hearing about this crap, just want to watch the game and enjoy it not be reminded of this shit on a 24/7 basis.

For someone who is calling people bed wetters and fannies, you seem awfully upset at the fact a bunch of grown men are being told not to hug each other.

 

If the Covid protocols were working we wouldn’t have games getting called off and players going into isolation left, right and centre.

Think another major positive is little Wes was replaced in a tactical sub  Cags came on and was back to his old solid steady self last season the option would have been Ryan Bennett will let that sink in

They are a good team with an excellent manager. It's a great win.

This comment on the bbc report made me chuckle:

 

"With Leicester where they are after selling their best players and Maguire is an achievement in itself."

[RowlattsFox]

Fofana didn't look too happy coming off, nothing wrong with that but hope it doesn't knock his confidence too much. 

[East Langton Fox]

Albrighton and Ndidi two best players. We controlled the second half brilliantly, that was a really good performance. Eleven games in a row that we have taken the lead and won, we now know how to close games out which we haven’t been able to do in years.

[JonnyBoy]

defence was solid, Wilf MOTM for me broke up so many of their attacks 

[Jattdogg]

From 42 seconds in to 57 seconds is exactly how I feel after we win lol.

Defended really well I felt, really entertaining game, both teams open and going for it, Southampton really are a cracking team to watch, very very big win tonight

My MOTM undoubtedly was Wilf, absolute Monster everywhere, wins tackles that really physics say he shouldnt, you know hes the main man when hardly anyone mentions how much we miss Kante anymore, Wilf is without doubt one of the most valuable players ive seen at our club

Thank God Wilf is a ball winner because anything on goal either ends up in Northampton or Derby dependent on which end he is playing towards.

So either stop football or stop everything they're doing that's stopping the spread, don't allow them to line up together pre-match, don't allow them to touch the ball, don't allow them to swap shirts, don't allow them to sleep in the same room together when playing away, don't just pick one thing they do and say it's not acceptable but the rest of it is.

 

Anyway that'll be my last post on the matter, have a good evening all

Delighted. 

 

Let's get Vardy scoring from open play again and we'll be flying.

If we can get..Madders,Barnes & occasionally Tielemans, then like tonight...Vards , put the pressure on & chases those lost causes ( Not so often now)

but we Now have players that can also consistently find the net.have

we have had Now a few good games, where a few players, could of got MOTM...Also a Big point, when confirming   and valuing how well our squad is

progressing...

 

 

[Larry_LCFC]

Hope Perez gets a good dressing down for not setting up that absolute sitter for Vardy. I'm not convinced it was offside and he certainly didn't know the flag was up. Imagine if that had cost us the game. There is a time to be selfish but that was definitely not it, especially when you don't back it with putting the ball in the net.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Yeah echo what others have said - they're clearly a very tidy outfit and I hope they do alright, I know it's easier to be magnanimous in victory but compared to Everton and their shitearse antics they seem a likeable enough side in all. They'll be top 8.

[filbertway]

Dno if its cus I was smashed but I've genuinely never noticed ndidi so much in a game. What a player. Absolutely dominated the middle of the park

[LCCFox96]

Cracking result. We created a good number of chances and could have had a few more. Defensively I think that's one of our best performances of the season. Second half in particular we were superb to a man. Ndidi was monstrous as per and two assists for Tielemans as well. Schmeichel's save from Bertrand didn't get the praise it deserved either.

 

A similar showing vs Chelsea on Tuesday night and we'll have made two huge fixtures really count.

Yep, agreed. Southampton came here with a game plan. It nearly worked. We overcame it with a very professional performance.

You've been smashed for 4 years?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Also forgot to say it’s great to see Che Adams doing well for himself, was always hopeful we’d resign up but sadly it wasn’t to be. Always nice to see a local Leicester lad doing well, even if it is for someone else. 

[spacemunky]

Once again, good win Lestahs!
