ScouseFox Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 pleasing, we looked sharp going forward if occasionally shaky at the back. vardy is going to have the whole league on toast again it seems, mahrez can glide past a man at any level. kasper threw in a few nice saves and on another day it could've been 3 or 4 but the score isn't the main thing, it's just the fact we genuinely looked pretty good.
Guest Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 too quick locking the other thread. First trophy of the season, nice one.
Tielemans63 Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Alright lads, at a wedding today so haven't see the game. How did Ulloa get on?
cc_star Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Everton did nothing, absolutely nothing.... Would be hard pushed to say they even gained fitness benefits from that match We looked ok though, players gave a lot too so would have impact on fitness Mahrez, Knockaert & Albrighton all shone for me. Nugent had a cracker disallowed for being a fraction offside Good run out, some good performances and all the running should have aided fitness & match sharpness, but against such uninterested opposition I don't think we can take anything from it
Dan Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 We look every bit as sharp as we finished last season. We're a very fit side with evident quality.
Webbo Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Lack of sound spoilt it for me but a good run out none the less. I shan't read too much into it though.
Nod.E Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Good performance. Looked sharp. I stuck a fiver on us 2 minutes before we scored. All round a positive 90 minutes for me.
Fox92 Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Not going to overreact, just like I wouldn't have overreacted after a defeat. It's a nice workout and granted it is nice to win, but both teams will be totally different on August 16th.
fox123 Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Friendly or not, I'm just happy we are keeping our winning mentality. Bring on August 16th.
Bryn Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Pleasing to win, can only be good for morale. Glad to see the reaction is measured, obviously they will be a totally different prospect in August.
Mike Oxlong Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 SSN just put up the final score Everton 1 - 0 Leicester GTF got their winner apparently
foxoffderby Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Howard Bains Barkley and others to come back for Everton for the opener. Leicester played them off the park
lgfualol Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Can't get too ahead of ourselves, luckily I thnk Nigel will tell the players this. I think if the teams were played switched halves, we'd have had a lot more problems. They also didn't have Baines or Barkley. But yea, it's good. And they'll be a few more Leicester fans in Thailand now.

foxfanazer Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 We look like a proper unit. Patient on the ball and good movement. Vardy is such an exciting player
Stuliasz Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 That song during the presentation Leicester City are number one, More determined than anyone, Won't give up til the war is won Leicester City are number one!
ealingfox Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Think its fair to say we're definitely going to win the league.
lgfualol Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 That song during the presentation Leicester City are number one, More determined than anyone, Won't give up til the war is won Leicester City are number one! Did they take that off the new chants thread?
broughtonblue Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Anyone got a man of the match?Knocky first halfVardy second
GingerrrFox Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Vardy has to play as the main striker, in the middle he is so dangerous stretching the opposition defence running in behind and he's wasted having to track back on that left wing plus we have wingers who all deserve a start in their favoured position. Competition is gonna be tight between Mahrez/Knockaert/Albrighton all 3 of them could start and offer slightly different things but for me I would be inclined to play Mahrez and Albrighton wide with Knockaert in that advanced middle role that GTF played in the 2nd half. Aside from left back (toss up between Konchesky and Schlupp) the rest of the team picks itself really. Schmeichel De Laet Morgan Moore Konchesky/Schlupp Albrighton Drinkwater James Mahrez Knockaert Vardy
Bryn Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 Nice for our owners to see us lift a trophy in front of Thai fans, they really don't meddle with the footballing operation at all and, touchwood, so far they've been nothing but good for us so this is the sort of thing that hopefully keeps them inclined to maintain the status quo.
Matt Posted 27 July 2014 Posted 27 July 2014 We looked good. If we lost we couldn't take much from it, it'd be passed off as 'it's just a friendly, it's for fitness' therefore the same can be said despite us winning. We looked good, it's pleasing, positive and i'm happy, but we can't take too much from it and shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Hopefully it's the same outcome when the season starts, hopefully Everton are as bad as they were today and we are as good as we were today (If not better). I'd say Everton just edged the first half - they were probably the better team, but there was only 1 team in it in the second half.
