I can't believe Iheanacho doesn't get into this Leicester team.

I know he's on the pitch at the moment, but Gray hardly gets a kick for them either. Two players who would walk into possibly every side outside the top seven (or so you would think!). Argument for top six even, as Everton could do with a winger and a striker.
 
Is Brighton's Knockaert the same striker who had a penalty saved in the Championship against the same opposition, when he played for Leicester City.? And Watford famously went straight up the other end and scored
 
They seem to distrust the board, the manager and the players. Glad we stuck the knife in early......or late if you like! :)

I still think West Ham will come good, They haven't played at home yet and there is still plenty of time for the team to gel. On paper, they look terrific and I would be surprised is they don't eventually deliver their potential. Looking at the league, there are other teams whom I would suggest look more likely to struggle such as Palace and Brighton. They should finish top half with their line up.

I agree that 3 away games on the trot is a difficult start. However their home form last season wasn't great.

In a lovely stadium that we paid for them, they won 7 games. How ungrateful. 6 of those 7 wins were 1-0.

Decent individual players, poor team. Some big name past their best players on big money.

I for one would be happy to see them relegated.

Iheanacho so over rated its untrue. He usually came on for City in the last 20 mins or so against a knackered back line when the other team was (generally) losing so going for it a bit more, with one of the most creative midfields behind him. I don't know what his figures were when he actually started games for them but from memory they weren't great. I'm not saying he isn't/won't be a good player, just that it is very hard to judge how good he is based on his time at City and lots of people have put him up there as a great striker with very little evidence
