Don't know why people are having a go at the Leicester lad. Granted I'm tipsy but it's not their fault we've gifted them the chances and they've taken them. They're ruthless, that's what they've done all season.
They are a faster playing side more direct with a very good tactical Manager, another game of 2 halfs yet again is it because Barry tires, and our defence has no confidence in Tim??
Tim was again stuck to his line like glue then the only time he should have stayed he came out like a madman second pen!
 
What?, we bossed them, especially first half, Leceister had 2 pens and a blatant handball for their 3rd.

How the hell can anyone look at that and say Leicester deserved to win that game?

We bossed possession , but they did more with it when they had it. I thought their midfield play at times looked incisive and dangerous where we looked a bit ponderous. Surely we have to make more of these 10 or so corners we are getting, especially as they have conceded 6 already from them this year.
 
That was the sort of away win that separates the men from the boys, three points instead of one point. Good teams can draw at Goodison but flukes aside, generally speaking it is the standard of away game that teams with title aspirations need to win rather than draw and stay ahead of their rivals. I'm guessing that a review of the past 20 years would show the eventual PL champs generally winning at Goodison that season. Obvs, they would win a lot of away games against the relative no-marks, but we are one of the main 'best of the rest' teams and away wins at us go a long towards league titles.
