Not me. I had a feeling all week that WHU would be 'after the Lord Mayor's Show' and so it proved.
That Cloudier Rainweary is doing the business!

I am in shock. As an attacking force we look tremendous. Defensively I think we have been a little lucky but nevertheless a great start. The key for me now is how we deal with set backs - which will inevitably come.
Finally, can someone answer two questions:
1. What was the formation today?
2. How did kante play?
Blue army!!

Traditional 442 to start. Mahrez on right, Albrighton on left.
Second half when we were up against it we switched to a 451 with Kante adding bite to the middle.
Kante? Just wants the ball so badly. Would tackle a bus. I really like the look of him.
Benaloune was less impressive.

My "bizarre reason" is simple ignorance. The comment was aimed at those judging by Radio Leicester Since I don't use streams I forget that people are watching the match on TV even when Sky are not showing it. TV does seem to me to give a false impression of distance and of the speed of the ball. Nevertheless it is a worthy second best to being there and I do not discount it; what I discount is judging a player by the radio commentary.
Your comments on the performance were very interesting and rather prove your point.

You know what they say about opinions, David - it doesn't matter how you watch it - they're like arseholes in that everyone has one.

Fair enough David.
From my vantage point we've looked just about the best team in the division through two games.
West Ham are a decent side too.

Stupid booking aside, I thought Benaloune looked more solid against Creswell than De Laet did. I'd start him next game.

Wouldn't disagree. More generally I have slight concerns over the right side of our back four.

Magnificent effort by the players and coaching staff to hit the ground running.

I think the real question is who the **** is Phil McNulty and why?

No doubting CR tactical acumen but for me you can't judge that until we go a goal behind and how he reacts to that.
Also thank God Riyad signed that new deal or they would be all over him.
