I really hope Ighalo can get back to form, fortunately for Watford he wasn´t missed. Have a good weekend all.
I should add that Deeney looked quicker, fitter, sharper and thinner (less bulked) than he has and he set up a number of good moves and chances.
I used to hate the diving/looking for free-kicks/being 'professional'/leaving a trailing leg/sh!t that Young used to get up to for us. I was embarrassed by his cheating, it used to make me furious. Is this sort of thing all that is going through Vardy's mind as he is in the penalty area? It sickens me. He should be put on a charge for bringing the game into disrepute. We got the points today, but so what? What I remember of the game is tainted by his cheating. And Mahrez is the same. Is this the play of 'champions'?
Their number 22 did it twice after coming on along with being booked for dissent which there was also a lot of. The ref let the players (from both sides at times) easily get to him which probably didn't help his poor performance.

Today from mbl.is we have one paragraph. http://www.mbl.is/sport/enski/2016/11/19/toure_hetja_city_gylfi_skoradi_i_jafntefli/ Watford sigraði Leicester City 2:1. Etienne Capoue kom Watford yfir á fyrstu mínútu leiksins eftir sendingu frá Troy Deeney og tólf mínútum síðar var Roberto Pereyra búinn að bæta við öðru. Riyad Mahrez minnkaði muninn á 15. mínútu með marki úr vítaspyrnu eftir að brotið var á Jamie Vardy innan teigs en lengra komust Englandsmeistararnir ekki og 2:1 sigur Watford staðreynd. Watford defeated Leicester City 2:1. Etienne Capoue of Watford scored in the first minute of the game after a pass from Troy Deeney and twelve minutes later, Roberto Pereyra was ready to add another. Riyad Mahrez reduced the lead after 15 minutes with a penalty after a foul on Jamie Vardy, but the England champions could not come late and Watford won 2:1.
Danny Drinkwater has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association after appearing to elbow Watford’s Valon Behrami, leaving the Leicester City midfielder facing the prospect of a three-match suspension. The FA has examined the footage of the incident, which took place in the 67th minute of Leicester’s 2-1 defeat at Vicarage Road on Saturday. Neil Swarbrick, the referee, took no action at the time and it was not until the following day that the FA became aware of videos circulating on social media.
The thing that annoys me about the Drinkwater incident is that I saw it as it happened and the referee was no more than 10 yards away running towards it. There is no way he did not see it which means he deliberately ignored it because he didn't want to deal with it.
Yes I agree with that. The referee is to blame for much of the players reactions and fouls throughout the game due to his poor display.
Just like when an attacker goes down in the box and the ref neither gives a pen or a yellow for simulation - the ref waves play on because he doesn't want to deal with it.
The classic of this was Wilson for Bournemouth last weekend. For once, for him and Muff, it couldn't have been a clearer pen. For some reason the ref misses it and doesn't give a pen, but if he doesn't give the pen, he's got to book Wilson. In this case, he would have obviously been incorrect, but he can't take no action.
I'm amazed anyone in their right mind ever decides to become a referee though, now I've said that, I can see that there are clearly people who believe no professional referee actually has all his or her marbles
