Well Enzo said we needed atleast another 71 points.

 

Just another 68 to go

We haven´t played Leeds or Brum

Or Ipswich or West Brom.

 

So we've played about half the top half

I bet this is exactly what Maresca is doing. 👍

”A harsh lesson for Duff, but he won't be the only manager in the Championship to see his side undone by this Leicester team, who will clearly take some stopping this season.”

Leicester best team I've seen down here in a long while. Great going forward, loads of options, bit suspect at the back at times, especially the keeper but Swansea have played worse and got something

Lots of talk on the Swansea board that they should have had a pen, and us a red card. What did I miss, I watched the whole game???

I was watching the Swansea stream because there was a commentary delay on the LCFC stream and it was sparked by Lee Trundle the ex lower league baller and Swan who was co-commentator. He was adamant that the ball had hit Faes arm even though the highlights appeared to show it hit his midriff and his arm was by his side in a natural position anyway. It was never a penalty.

guess they forgot about the challenge on Vardy in the box too, amazing how they can only remember what they want

Especially the keeper — bet this is Dean Saunders or another Proper Football Man

It’s nonsense.

 

The worst thing about being good in the Championship is how bad fans are in this division. People whinge about big 6 teams fans but I’ve read far more crap from Championship fans.
 

Perhaps when you’re completely outclassed you have to hang on to any shout for a penalty and the two half decent shots you’ve had. Seen some of them say they had the opportunities to get more. Well sure, we also had a bucketful to beat them by 6.

He's such a top bloke. Great character to have in the dressing room - humble, friendly, enthusiastic and slightly nuts!

Frank Worthington, Steve Walsh, Jamie Vardy are the legends of my lifetime supporting Leicester, and for sublime moments of skill, turning round an extremely difficult start and for being one of the most loveable, humble and top human beings then I'm adding  one Kelechi Iheanacho to my personal hall of fame!

Erm.. what…… he’s the best keeper ever.

[Noahfence]

Wait the scouser on Swansea’s commentary was Lee Trundle??

Trundle was complaining before the game that Leicester City spent £40m on Faes and Ricardo in the Summer after relegation and asking how could Swansea compete with that.   

 

I took it from the commentary that he has the mental age of an 11 year old.

 

And that's before he was shouting out in excitement during play.

Love how Enzo enjoys trolling the nobbers on here who like a moan by telling the players to give Swansea a goal head start.

I  Agree we have only played about half and lost to one of them

[DerbyshireFox]

Convincing display, pleasing to see us not crap ourselves when we went behind. Could’ve been ahead by the time we equalised. Couple of hairy moments for Mads, but felt we dominated the game. Thought Swansea played well, but we had too much for them. Tough one Tuesday night but no reason not to be confident about keeping the winning run going

Did exact same because of the Foxeshub commentary being ahead. Trundle was unbareable. Get that it doesn't really matter how biased he is because it should only be their lot watching along, but he was delusional at times. 

 

I've had to watch a few of the other teams ifollow commentary this season and it's hilarious how many think they're in games and watch it slowly slip away from them. The nature of the way we play will always be a slow kill but when we take chances we will always win by massive margins in this league. Just might take the full 90 to get them. 

[Corky]

Yes, it is at a lower level and yes, all things considered, it should be happening but it is so nice to have enjoyable footballing weekends again.

To be fair to him, Trundle never courts controversy

I think after Sunderland on Tuesday that's all the top half teams played, So in theory, it should get easier from here.

 

Spot in apart from Ipswich, Leeds, West Brom and Birmingham.

Most goals scored

Least goals conceded

11 wins from 12 - best start in the 2nd tier ever

6 from 6 away from home

 

And you still looks at what needs to be improved? I prey you never make it to management in your line of work, your work force would be massively deflated😂

 

This isn't the old save and reset on football manager when a game doesn't go the way you want it to.

 

We dominated a side, away from home, who were unbeaten in 5 games. Not every single chance is going to find the back of the net, believe it or not it's the oppositions job to stop that happening. I'm not sure what you can improve on from today's performance 

You don't think that's exactly what Enzo will be doing in training next week? In my post on this thread I made more positive remarks than negative, I've consistently pointed out this season and preseason the great parts of our play and great traits of individual players. I've been hammered on here multiple times for pointing out multiple players that this forum had written off as garbage and saying they should be given a chance based on xyz traits or elements of their game, Ndidi being a prime example where I said £15m for him was a stupidly low price and had many people commenting telling me why I was wrong and he's rubbish and should be sold, now they are falling over themselves to say how much of a revelation he's been. 

I've been massively complimentary to our play this season, but god forbid you point out some elements of our game that need to improve and you get endless responses from loads of people jumping down your throat because I'm trying to be balanced?

This idea that I'm somehow not happy with our amazing start because I point out that in the final third we are quite wasteful relative to the quality we have is just disingenuous. 
If you think Enzo is not going into training next week and going through the parts of play he wasn't happy with then I'm not sure what to tell you. It's literally the job of the manager to improve players, you can only improve by fixing mistakes and tightening up decision-making. I'm obviously not for a moment comparing myself to a professional manager because they've forgotten more than I know. 

But just because I don't always post 100% positive things and I try to balance the amazing start with the things we can improve on doesn't mean I'm somehow not happy. 
Crazy how many people on this forum read a post that points out multiple positives, but completely ignore them and hound you for saying something they decide is "negative" rather than just trying to improve something. At no point did I say our attacking third is shit or that it should be hammered, I simply said we are wasteful and that the final third often looks like it hasn't "clicked" yet.

Good grief.  

 

[Guest Sideshow Faes]

Way, way too good for this division. Won at a canter and had loads of chances for more. Don't think anybody can live with us really.

You've clearly never been a manager.
