LCFC 2-0 Southampton - Post-Match Thread

Ndidi MOTD for me, he’s an absolute monster. Best defensive midfielder in the league

[Bryn]

In fact, with the luxury of a great win behind us, I'd say that's probably the best individual defensive performance against Vardy from Bednarek. Can't remember the last time I saw a centre-back shackle Vardy that well, I'd go as far as to say Vardy was in his pocket most of the night.

[Bazly]

We need to find something better than Perez or Natcho man to bring on in an attacking vein. 

[Mendi]

Now, after that performance, will the sports journalists start taking the Foxes seriously. Outstanding.

[Spiritwalker]

In hindsight I was probably overly critical in the match thread. We controlled a very good side in the 2nd half 

 and could have killed them off much earlier.

Great win but not Vards beat game as highlighted by this. Ah well I supposed he's allowed 1 bad game. Bet he better not have another! 

That’s a good stat. Proves we’re not a one trick pony

Personally disagree, JV had about three openings and two unchallenged headers

What a fantastic interview from Madders!

Come on what do you think?

Camera showed him smiling as he came off the pitch so hopefully just a strain?

Hopefully. All strains are actually tears and when you’re older they can be a problem. Hopefully not serious though. I suspect he might not start against Chelsea. 

[Guest bennytwohats]

Great win that.

 

I know the celebrations thing has divided opinions, but personally I’m pleased to see our players taking the message on board. For me another thing to be proud of our club for.

[RowlattsFox]

Solid and hard thought win. Great to see to be honest, they'd have been a bigger threat with Inga of course but we handled them well second half. 

 

Impressed with Soyuncu, thought it was harsh on Fofana to take him off but worked out ok. 

 

Not Vardy best day, not just his finishing but lack of finesse was frustrating, just smacking it at defenders right in front of him. We need him against Chelsea though so fingers crossed.

 

Good all round performance.

It wasn't the real Vadry but yes the CB played very well.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Great win against a very decent team

 

Onwards and Upwards hopefully 

[The Guvnor]

Stepped it up in the second half, and job done, any other night Jamie would have scored a hat trick, fingers crossed it's a minor injury.

Bring on Chelsea.

Yeah, he had two or three really good chances (or some that you'd expect him to score with his quality). But he's dragged us along so many times that I'll let him off and great that others stepped up.

Shame his defensive partner was Jack Stephens. He was at fault for both goals.

Good shit very deserved win

[Steve Earle]

I’m just posting this having had some negative feedback in the match thread, when I agreed with a half-time comment that Kasper had been good, and added ‘except his kicking’. A poster replied along the lines of ‘I just don’t get some people, can’t recall Kasper giving it away once’.

 
I am ‘some people’. Thought Kasper was excellent, but in the first half alone he kicked straight into touch twice, for sure, maybe three times. It’s what he does. Overall he was a 7 out of 10, but his distribution is poor at this level.

 

IMO

Seconded.   I absolutely love how calm and laid back Cags was amongst all of lung bursting madness-  a truly ice cold Rolls Royce amongst the exhausted chaos!   

He was what we needed when Southampton kept finding holes through the middle. Fofana had a good game today, but he dashed forward a bit too often (looked good on the eyes and applied good pressure) and left (and did leave) us a little vulnerable to counter attacks. Closed that up after Cags came on. He did a good turn too.  Good to have him back.

He was talking about his own socially distanced celebration in contrast to Snodgrass running and hugging to celebrate a WBA goal earlier.

What was really pleasing about that win was our character and the ability to win a tough physical game. Plus me putting a tenner on southampton to win on 55 minutes to win a potential 130 quid. Never have won a bet!😁

#karma, next time keep the faith. 

[foxfanazer]

Couldn't watch as at work but what's the Vardy injury looking like? Can't afford to lose him now
