I couldn't make the game today (but managed to sneak a headphone in throughout, and am about to watch the game recorded), but it's really good to read comments that Cedric had a good game. As I said just the other day, he's easily been our third best player this season behind Virgil and Romeu in my view. Getting better and better. Still got issues elsewhere in our XI (and even more so now that Fonte has left), but no more at RB (subject to Pied proving himself as a sufficient back up when he's fit again. Hopefully he will be).

Please be available for Wednesday, Virgil. Please.

I thought we played with verve and the lack of fear that we used to have. We never looked like losing.

Leicester are a horrible niggling bunch of cheats. Huth wrestled JayRod so much that JayRod had some mild fisticuffs with him. Albert Steptoe deliberately damaged our CB and they constantly were pulling and pushing at corners without any punishment. Nasty side.

And on the way to the ground Onionman Jr and I were discussing how JayRod has been hitting it with his left foot, something I didn't think he could do. Jr's theory is that while his right leg was out of kilter they did some work on his use of his left foot. And, a few minutes after the discussion, JayRod only goes and bangs it in left-footed. Nice.

I'm expecting a result against Liverpool and a lovely day out at Wembley.

Oh, and we're 11th, a point off 9th.

Huth and Morgan look like a couple of very dodgy nightclub bouncers (a quality I actually admire in a CB pairing).

Decent performance today, had good spells but at times were pretty average against what was a very poor Leicester side. Brilliant result however.

The virgil injury just shows how ridiculous a statement it was from Puel that we don't need another CB. If it is long term then we only have maya and Stephens as CB's.

Where has Puel said we don't need another cb?

Re the disallowed goal, my brother said that there was a definite push from one of our players and that was what the Lino spotted. Although the score line was different today , it reminded me of the Everton game-never giving them a moment on the ball and some silky one-touch passing. So many chances that it could have been 5 easily.
I worried that we lacked composure for 5 minutes after Virgil went off but once we stopped hoofing it clear and settled down I knew that it would be ok. They did have shots but Very few on target. Very happy indeed-don't think I have ever been to a match that early though. Those at the pub beforehand , did the lager taste a bit odd at that time of the morning?;)

Definitely not a push as the referee gave an indirect free kick.

Yes a great result, shame about Virgil.

A bitter sweet symphony.
