Match Thread Leicester v Crystal Palace

[popillius]

Like an expensive Chris Wood.

An apt simile but I wouldn't put him in the Chris Wood category quite yet! The ball doesn't seem to bounce 8 yards away from Slimani every time he goes near it as it did with Wood. Still, time will tell.

It was like watching the match from the back of the stand once the rewinds had finished.

They settled on the back of the stand camera after trying a close up camera that just focused on the player on the ball, and then one from behind the goal - which wasn't much use when we had a corner at the other end.

Another great save by Kasper!

 

[popillius]

Kasper really has been exceptional for the most part this season.

 

[Jeff]

Vardy's ready to come on.

 

[Jeff]

Vardy replaces Slimani

Good call. Slimani looking a bit off the wavelength in some of the play today. Disappointed in Fuchs today too... letting too many crosses in but otherwise it's been a decent performance.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

FUUUCCCHHHSSSS!!!!

 

[Cate Fox]

[Jeff]

Amazing timing!

Sensational stuff

 

[xavk]

we should give a 3 year contract every week if he can keep doing that!

 

[popillius]

What. A. Goal.

 

[Blaarev]

Celebrates his new contract with his first goal for us

 

[glyn]

Wow. Just the result and performance we needed ahead of our fifth away defeat of the season!

 

[Jeff]

Gray replaces Musa

 

[popillius]

Wow. Just the result and performance we needed ahead of our fifth away defeat of the season!

It's the optimism of our fans I love.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Well he's not had the best of games but that's a ****ing nice half volley

 

[Blaarev]

Another goal and we move above Palace on goal diff.
