Post Match Newcastle 0 Leicester 2

[Jeff]

Vardy (pen) and Maguire.

 

[M17TT C]

Solid and very comfortable if not pretty.

Another short thread then.

 

[popillius]

I think Morgan, Maguire and Amartey were excellent, albeit against a dog shit of an opposition. I also think Riccardo had a much better game today.

 

[bocadillo]

Did as much as we had to.

 

[Feriol]

Dominant and patient performance if not outstanding. Newcastle were poor, but we kept them down, particularly Mendy who shut down everything in midfield.

Perhaps could have created more from open play and got Vardy and Iheanacho involved more but Job well done.

 

[Blaarev]

Nice

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Didn't manage to follow or listen to the match today.

How was the defence?

Did Iheanacho play behind Vardy? Did it work?

How was Ricardo playing in his real position?

 

[Skitzo]

clean sheet, 3 points job done!

 

[Micky]

I love Papy.

 

[camberwell fox]

Spreadsheet anyone?

 

[Volpone]

Love this . Wes still trying to prove he didn't foul their defender before Maguire headed home.

 

[Volpone]

I love Papy.

Does Papy make you happy ?

 

[Jeff]

Their only shot on target was from their own half.

 

[Graz]

Up to 7th in the table. Does it count yet?

7 points off the top. 4 behind the top 4. 10 ahead of the bottom 3...

Well you can only beat what's in front of you, and what was in front of us today was truly awful

Back four were in total command. Mendy was very good, and I thought Maddison was easily the best player on the pitch (although there was a lack of significant competition)

Biggest let downs against such complete crap were Vardy and Nacho, who should have had a field day. They didn't and were poor, very poor

The first half was probably the lowest quality football we've seen all season, second half a bit better ( I mean the game as a whole, not us). Only one team in it from start to finish, however

Three points off a Champions League position FFS

Go on Claude....

 

[lesterboy]

A solid performance against a poor poor team. Puel has changed the way we play and has brought through a number of young players. Give him time and I'm sure we will be pushing the top 6 in a couple of seasons time.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Puelis out, obviously.

 

[Miles Away]

Fair play. 6 points from games following the abomination in bournemouth. Team looking a wee bit more comfortable.

A win against Everton and things could even get interesting.

We played with quality and good possibility.

 

[sparky79]

we can see we have a good young playuhh and are in errr a good errr moment.

 

[Rock Fox]

Yes, Newcastle were poor, but sneeze ye not at 3 away points.
The mighty Utd couldn't do it against WH. I thought we played pretty well, competent if you like, but the killer 'finish them off' punch wasn't evident, it seemed to be more about control.
Mendy and Maddison were excellent, Chilwell played well to get into some good positions - but his final delivery was often frustratingly poor. Harry had a couple of attempts and then that header - boom!
