Match Thread Leicester v Watford

[popillius]

I really like Ndidi as a player, as we all do, but sometimes he gives the ball away far too easily and far too often. He has to work on this if he's to become a fully rounded midfielder.

Having said that he smashes in goals doesn't he?!

 

[SilverFox]

Ndidi and his passing pissing me off again.

Forgiven?

It was probably meant as a pass

Lovely feet from Mahrez

A lovely worked FK and a nice corner. We've not looked so inventive from set pieces in a long time.

Mahrez has warmed into the game nicely.

We haven't attacked enough against a poor defence and our defence looks a bit wobbly today.

Deserved lead, lets hope we take this by the scruff of the neck and score a few more.

Gray on to run at them and Slimani to replace Okazaki for a bit of attacking punch.

If only he had bothered, that goal would have been so much nicer.

It's exactly that kind if brilliance that makes it imperative that we do anything and everything in our power to hold on to the best player we have ever had...... No matter how impossible it may seem. Simply wonderful.

 

[popillius]

Excellent counter attacking.

 

[Jeff]

Slimani replaces Okazaki

Sunderland has taken the lead in Hull
