I'd give him anything - and I mean anything - that makes him stay. 

Champions league football will keep are whole team together I think plus a few extra additions

biggest 3 points of the season massive win.

 

Nacho is a natural goal scorer, Vardy will be firing next game.

 

Can go to sleep a happy man

It looked to me like we did. 

 

Castagne dropped into a left-back position and Amartey looked like he spent most of his time at RB. Fofana and Caglar were closer together in central defence.

 

To me, it looked like we switched from a 352 to a 442 for the 2nd half.

Not quite a Theatre of Hate but still a win at the Amex Stadium. Is CL now our destiny?

[jmono84]

I’ve seen that VAR incident involving Vardy several times and I cannot see any touch in the ball by Dunk. Surely that should have been overturned. Doesn’t matter now but at the time it could have been vital!

[AjcW]

Last season we might have got 0 points from the last two games

This season we've got 4

 

And there's plenty of other examples throughout the season similar too.

That's the difference, we've learned how to comeback and grind out results and also to NOT BE ASHAMED OF A DRAW!

 

Great stuff. 3 points against the blades and we're flying.

 

Like BR said, probably our first training session in a week on Monday

I thought we pretty much stayed the same but pushed Ricardo and Castagne a lot more forward.

I hope so. I think I am more nervous about failing to get CL football than I was about winning the league. It seems so important for our future. Now instead of just watching Spurs' results, and shitting myself, I'm watching about 7 teams below us. This result was pretty big. I think we may have a bit of momentum now.

This wreaked of big 6 prejudice. They didn't even show the angle which showed he clipped Vardy and kept showing the crappy angle which showed nothing. Even the commentators completely downplayed it. Frustrating but we got the justice in the end 

 

To be fair to Alan Smith, he did say that if the ref had given the penalty, VAR probably wouldn’t have changed the decision. It’s all down to the ‘clear and obvious error’ ruling.

 

Yes, probably a penalty, but if it had been Fofana on Welbeck, we wouldn’t be complaining at it being disallowed.

[Pliskin]

How sexy is Youri though? 

[casablancas]

I’m off to give the fiancée a good Rodger-ing whilst thinking of Keli and Big BIG Dan. Gd night foxes talk and some of you need a little perspective.

No, just stoned and positive man

When Vardy is fit (and he shouldn't even be back yet at all) we will be some proposition.

Tonight we redefined how to "win ugly".

 

Amartey was instrumental in creating his own goal. He received the ball in his own half, turned, faced up and played Vardy in, that led to the first corner. Far too often he will do the opposite, turn back and play the negative backwards pass. 

 

Maybe it's a confidence thing but I' like to see him play with that positive outlook a lot more than he usually does. Tonight it resulted in us winning the game!

To be fair to Dan he was showing real promise before he got his bad injury.

 

The longer he stays fit and plays the better he will get. He's as good as we're likely to get as a squad player. And he can play and cover several positions.

[FellowBlue]

Congrats on your win today on behalf of all Man City fans. It’s nice to see you in second place. Now we just need to thrash United to keep them down....haha. Hopefully, they will fall out of the top four in a few weeks because they really don’t deserve to be there.

That dummy and movement before the penalty incident was reassuring.

[An Away Move]

Can we give a bit of credit to Iheanacho who’s two fantastic goals are a massive contribution to is potentially getting Champions League football? He gets so much stick on here but the reality is he’s never had the game time to show us how sharp or good he can get.

I'm quite pleased with the 'Vardy is done' rhetoric from the great wide footballing world.

 

Because I'll bet you he isn't and next season he comes back firing (unsure on this, unless he gets a proper rest)

It’s true. Regardless of your opinion on him he’s chipped in with two very important goals when nobody, literally nobody else was looking likely to do it. He’s done a very important job for us in the last two games and he deserves credit for that at least.

Lot of praise for Amartey’s goal, but I think Albrighton’s corner was superb. Fast, big curve and in just the right place to tempt their keeper. Best we’ve seen all season.

 

 I hope Rodgers makes Maddison look at it repeatedly while he’s recuperating!

I think we noticeably did about 5 minutes into the second half. More a back 4 which was picked up by the commentary team just before our goal and referred to afterwards by Jamie Redknapp. Armarty played quite noticeably as a right back and even got forward on occasions. Ricardo as someone said played further forward and mainly stayed there. It's has to be said that the latter didn't look too comfortable in the role.
