Post Match Leicester 3 Liverpool 1

[Jeff]

Vardy (2) and Drinkwater with the goals.

 

[FOX Franks]

Much, much more like it. Players playing with heart, freedom and intensity. That really was excellent.

 

[londonfox]

Claudio who?

 

[FryattFox]

Answered a lot of questions tonight.

 

[M17TT C]

That wasn't the Leicester City we know.

That was like the awesome stuff from last season!!

Thank **** for that!

 

[Mawsley]

Why weren't we winning?

Why did we have to sack a manager?

Why do nice guys finish last?

 

[yackandandah]

I am going to drink large quantities of alcohol.

That might not be us back to our best skills wise but that was us trying and caring and back to our work effort best.

Every ****ing one of them is a hero in my book!

 

[Micky]

What the **** was that!

Ndidi is fantastic.

 

[NYC Fox]

The inevitable bounce, although very well played indeed. We need to do the same against Hull though... and those bastards started the rot back in August.

 

[Mawsley]

The inevitable bounce.

A totally debunked phenomenon. There is no such thing as manager sacking bounce.

 

[camberwell fox]

I don't know what to feel

 

[LeeCovFox]

Is the psychologist back then?

 

[SwedeFox]

It's odd to see some turning this into some pro-Claudio vs anti-Claudio rivalry. It's perfectly possible to be delighted to see us win again and at the same feel betrayed that these players have not delivered until now.

What kind of substantial tactical change can you make in four days? Pretty much none. What we saw today were the same players playing horribly up until now actually applying themselves to the task. This is best illustrated by Vardy who looked a new player. Unless Craig whispered some magical words in his ear it's about commitment. This further reinforces the point that our problems this year are mainly psychological.

Is Claudio blameless for those? Of course not. But then I haven't seen anyone suggest that. I think the decision to sack Claudio may save our PL place and I think the players lack professionalism for the pathetic first two thirds of the season. I don't see a contradiction there.

 

[yackandandah]

Ndidi is fantastic.

Yes he is. He's colossal. What a buy.

 

[FryattFox]

What the **** was that!

Ndidi is fantastic.

Ndidi is incredible isn't he. Really stands out.

Same here. These ****s have taken the piss with us this season yet may keep us up.

 

[popillius]

Exceptional. They were so happy to be out there with a freedom to play as they wanted and the fear that's dogged some of them for so much of this season seemed to evaporate right from the first minute. Everyone, with the exception of Mahrez, put in a fantastic shift. Special mentions to DD, Ndidi, Albrighton and of course Vardy but the man of the match was Shinji 'look at his little face Okazaki. Brilliant throughout. Play like that and we've no worries at all. Mind you, we played like that against Man City.......

Agreed.

But that's also football. It happened to Mourinho last season. Fergie was almost sacked by the Glaziers. Wenger faces constant discontent.

I think that it's also a split between those fans thinking with their head versus their heart. No one would have ever wanted CR to fail. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, he did. And the buck ultimately stops with him - in the good times and the bad.

 

[popillius]

Maybe they thought the management were taking the piss by not letting them play as they wanted to which had brought so much success last year.... that could be bollocks of course but no more so than your statement.
