Post Match Leicester 2 Tottenham 1

[Lako42]

Hopefully that will bring some people back around after the Wham game.

It might seem small but this manager has actually changed us massively already.

I like what he's trying to do and at the same time we hit them by mixing it up and doing it in our old style.

Surely people can get behind the fact that he's trying to give us options in how we can play rather than moaning when we get a point away from home?


If we can add more quality to our passing and ball retention yet still retain the ability to launch quick attacks like Vardy's goal then we will be incredibly hard to play against.


Allez Les bleus

Dele just made an absolute twat out of himself.

Basically expressed complete disdain for Leicester. "We're better than them and have better players".

Didn't he said something similar before, when we won the League

That was feckin' beautiful

Best first half performance for as long as I can remember. Just magic

Vardy and Shinji worked they're nads off. Albrighton insanely good. Back four exceptional, and the two boys in the middle of the pitch were simply brilliant

Iborra looked an exceptional player tonight - commanding in every way. And he was supported magnificently by Wilfy.

And i think we might all finish the evening by agreeing that Ben Chilwell is indeed a left back, and a far better one right now than Fuchs is

Four four feckn two. Much less possession. Game controlled by the central midfield two. Defenders throwing themselves at everything. Two stunning goals from Mahrez and Vardy

Think I've seen that before somewhere.....

Unloveable sort isn't he? & comes across as being a touch on the thick side. Even compared to other footballers. Hardly a combination to warm to.

Pochettino: “We’re so disappointed. You cannot play football if you don’t fight and compete..."

My suggestion would be to leave Spurs as soon as possible then mate.

The only football club to be officially classified as an invertebrate.

Forget the performance and the three points. The important question is did Puel sound boring and dreary in the post match interview?

Bring back Holloway.

 

[City Fan]

The first half was excellent, but I’m a little concerned by the second half performance yet again. We haven’t yet performed well at all during any second half under Puel. If it wasn’t for some woeful finishing by Spurs (in particular Erikson and Llorente), we would have let it slip away.

Iborra was class.

 

[Red Leicester]

Get in, we are on the way! well done lads. Up to 9th and soon to be, dare I say top 6.

 

[lesterboy]

Does anyone have a link to the goals?

 

[Skitzo]

Chilwell MUST keep his place

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Chilwell MUST keep his place

Yes always the problem when we have a replacement.

We cannot know how well Fuchs might have played tonight, given the new team dynamic, scores to settle against Spurs from last season etc.

Who knows, he might have produced a couple of amazing throw-ins that gave us an extra couple of goals.

That takes nothing away from the fact that Chilwell apparently had a good game.

 

[Dour]

Brave no matter how you look at it.

I reckon Puel looked at what was necessary (another body in the middle to try and stifle Spurs possession), looked at the subs bench, took a deep breath and said 'step up Master Choudhury'.

It speaks volumes about Puel. And I like it.

That was an incredible decision. It's way beyond chucking him on for 10 minutes in a cup game where the result was already decided. A league game where we're hanging on by our fingernails and could easily lose two or even three points. A statement that if the youngsters are good enough, they will play.

I liked it.

 

[SilverFox]

Great game, awful stream

You should see a doctor about that.

 

[pork pie fox]

I have a season ticket and sit with my dad and one of my brothers. I gave up my ticket tonight, to a mate who is a Spurs fan. I’m not sure whether to be gutted or happy, so I’ll settle for happy

I agree I like the way the manager isn't afraid to bring in young players if he deems them good enough. Something he did at Southampton and over in France.
It's the only way we will know if the under 23s can cut it in the first team.

 

[pork pie fox]

From what I saw, Choudhury did really well, when he came on.

 

[Joe_Fox]

YOU BEAUTY!!!!!! nice win

 

[Blue Maniac]

Woohoo, there it is lads and lasses....his actual surname. He's not our mate.

He’s got his reasons, he can call himself what he likes.

Who knows, he might have produced a couple of amazing throw-ins that gave us an extra couple of goals.

Having one of those moments where I’m not completely sure this is a joke.

Nobody was 'hysterical', male or female.

Plenty of hysterical males last Friday.
