It was. He's an excellent player but it does seem that set pieces are not his strength.

King for Okazaki....

I don't mind as long as he plays as a number 10

I don't mind that change. Okazaki will be exhausted - we know we only get 67 minutes from him. Bringing on a striker for him won't work because we will miss him filling the midfield gaps. I'd have done the same.

Who decided that Okazaki was incapable of playing 90 minutes?
He's been our best forward. Hook Vardy for Slimani for me. If we want to tighten up, Chilwell for Vardy and put Mahrez in the middle.
Anything but King who offers nothing.

His body. It's very obvious when we see him puffing, panting, unable to chase anymore, not challenging for the ball etc....

Maybe he gets tired or his stamina is not quite up there. Should be well used to Okazaki only playing 60 mins or so by now!

More magic from Riyad...Vardy should have scored.

Iborra has been outstanding.

Morgan always looks like that after 5 minutes.

He should. This game should be out of sight for Swansea now, really.

Well this is true! I do think Okazaki was fading away from the game and we just couldn't afford a huge hole opening up through the middle.

A huge hole in the middle is exactly how I'd describe Andy King.
