Albrighton coming on could help on the right side, where most of their pressure is coming from. 

They would just shift ASM to the other side

[Kinowe Soorie]

KDH has got lots of energy, and doing a great job in pressing. Soumare looks like a defender playing central mid. I think I’d convert him into a centre back, would probably do a better job.

Pretty poor half and disgraceful pen but a win will do, however it comes 

[baldeagle]

Bit of a scrappy game . But I’d gladly take a scrappy 1-0 win if it means we keep a clean sheet 

[Vacamion]

 

Youri didn't do much for the first 35 mins, then he did everything.  

 

Soft, soft pen that I would be really angry about if it was given against us.

 

For a re-jigged formation, so far so good.

 

 

[Tielemans63]

Now we absolutely cannot start the second half like we did at Villa Park. Absolutely crucial.

Saint-Maxim is a nightmare

Didn't they buy him the same year we bought Perez from them 2 years ago

Never a penalty.

 

Newcastle are woeful!

[Hales]

That penalty and clean sheet have really lifted them. You could see it with Youri definitely!  Come out fighting the second half and keeping a clean sheet would be massive for them.  Come on Leicester!!!!!

[Webbo]

what a dive.

Not sure tbh

[Scotch]

Definately look to have made a change with defending set pieces. Our CBs going man to man and some of the smaller players picking up a zone? 

Not sure exactly what it is or if it'll work but at least we are TRYING something different.

Clear penalty

From my seat, Madders created the trip but trip it was. Only ever going to be one outcome.

yeah. not a penalty. Tielemans nearly wasted a chance to play on KDH for a clear shot by shouting. But he probably influenced the ref to give the penalty.

[sishades]

Just watched the pen decision.....oh dear! It is a clear dive, but who fecking cares.

[BKLFox]

Haaa Souness check Salah 

[Hales]

Who cares if it's a penalty or not! I'll take it 😊 glad to see Youri demanding a penalty like Ronaldo 😊

[Jonezy]

Disgusting dive by Maddison. Can't believe the penalty stood. 

 

KDH and Thomas doing well and putting in the effort. We need to get Castagne more involved when attacking; he is completely free constantly. Lot of effort today, not so much quality. We can grind this.

[Vacamion]

 

Yeah, it's a dive.

 

And it's giving Souness an excuse to want it to be 1986 again 

[Kinowe Soorie]

I was told as a young lad, don’t dive in. Yeah the penalty is soft, but he made a rod for his own back.

When you saw Youri fist pumping for a winning a throw in you knew the penalty did us the world of good.

No. He was not even tripped. Maddison jumped onto his leg. He was already airborne when he touched the defender’s leg.

Vardy would have been, “Just like that lad” to Maddison. 

[Sly]

It’s never a penalty is it.
