    Gives me confidence that it was a dip I. Form rather than lack of ability.

    Man City's defending was genuinely the weakest we will see this season but what a performance from them all.

    Lets hope that this doesn't serve a false positive, it was a weakened Man City side who didn't have a clue how to play against Vardy.

    Can't really complain too much about resting the players mid-week now!

    Still need to improve but when the pieces fit together like that, even King having a good game, you can see why we were such a force last season, lets hope our momentum can turn around now.

    Hoping this will spark a bit of a good run ... will certainly boost confidence - we were absolutely brilliant in the first half and the triangle of Slimani, Vardy and Mahrez was as goosd as anything I've seen in the Prem this season ... shame Slimani didn't bury the header as that would have been the icing on the cake ...

    Everything worked and I certainly don't think Drinky should be automatically back in the team based on that ... Kaspar on the other hand <whistle>

    Let's hope we can get at least a point at Bournemouth and get a revival well and truly under way. Bournemouth are a good, hard working side we can't underestimate, and we will need to play another hard pressing game all over the pitch to match them.

    ? Still conceded 2 goals and I don't think we'll come up against such a cock-eyed formation again!!
    Need to push on and get good results at Bournemouth and Stoke or we'll be back to square one.

    I'd back Kasper to save that free kick and we switched off in added time with a 3 goal lead ... rather we hadn't, but the game was well and truly won at that point ...

    Not too sure kasper would have got the free kick. Many a free kick has flew past him!

    ... with Kasper the weakness has usually been shots into the top corner ... Kolarov's was a lot lower ... might not have saved it admittedly - but i think he would have been a lot closer to it...

    Although I was disappointed to conceed 2, was still very nervous at 3-0. I'm just glad of the 3 points. And the massive improvement in our performance.

    Kolorov has put a freekick past Schmeichel before at the KP if memory serves me well.

    If my memory serves me well enough (and it generally doesn't) then it was to Kasper's right hand side and he got a glove on it.
