alright guys well im glad we scrapped through that as expected you had most of the possession in that game and i thought we were going to really struggle. i thought the first pen was a bit lucky but the second tim quite clearly took the trailing leg of vardy who in all fairness had a pretty poor game today and mahrez was not exactley firing on all cylinders.

i think the midfeild is where we won it , cleverley was very poor with his tackling and his distribution allowing us to get the ball and ease the pressure as your wing play was excellent but luckily for us kone was at another game i think. lukaku was decent today but he had a lot of chances.

i think in jan if you buy a solid ball winner in the middle with good distribution and fitness and a quality striker who can play off lukakus aerial ability then you will push for a euro spot .

im still just dreaming and pinching myself and like everyone waiting for the moment it all goes wrong but so far so good this time last year we were bottom with 10 points and virtually the same team .

good luck for the rest of the season lads and merry xmas

I think to be fair we marshaled Vardy and Mahrez pretty well, telling that the first opportunity they got space in resulted in a clinical break leading to the pen. We let ourselves down time and time again with our defending.
Best of luck for rest of season, be fantastic if you won it but also fantastic if you finished top 4.
 
Leicester executed a game plan today apparently, they are that good they envisaged 2 pens and a handball would be the way to beat us.

They got very lucky, it wasn't great play that beat us FFS.

Is right lid. Well in and good luck.

I look forward to calling you scruffy and irrelevant in the return fixture.
 
We are having a run of bad luck at present, but playing some very good stuff. We are still only 6 points(2 wins) of the top four or six , and we will be after tomorrows games as well. This league is very tight this year, and unless Leicester can keep up their amazing run, no one is going to break away from the pack, and the top four etc positions will go down to the last day. Leicester have a couple of very good, fast players, and other players at their peak. They also have a world class manager, whereas we have a top class manager in the making. Ranieri has given a masterclass this season in playing to your strengths, and not wavering from that plan. All credit to him. We are a work in progress and will be better afain this time next season, but patience is not a virtue that is easy to recognise in football supporters.

yes, you are not wrong. It's a pity (for Everton) that Leicester has stolen a march on us but it does light a candle
