I said to play deep, compact and frustrate them but i didn't mean for us to take it that far!
I think we can safety add organising a defence to the long list of positives Ralph has.

The Arsenal win was brilliant for the elation side of things - both in terms of beating a big side, and finally winning at home. But for so many other reasons, this win was bigger.
Another magnificent defensive display, as good as the Chelsea one. Their goal was a complete fluke, but apart from that, everyone played a blinder Targett was incredible, Vestergaard won every header, Bednarek and Stephens blocked everything, and Cedric shut Chilwell down.
And then there was Romeu. Possibly his best game this season.

Referees discretion to add minutes lost in first half then or wait till full time (I think that’s right )
I thought ref was pretty decent?

Not sure how you get four syllables out of "that pale imitation of a real manager".
Wow!
That was back to the wall stuff.
For a team that can’t defend, we were brilliant!
Vesterguard is a new man, Romeu was awesome. Long ran his socks off and not only did he actually get a foul given and win a penalty, he scored! (I’m not having the Schmeichal own goal).
Thanks Ralph!

Too much diving by Leicester. They should have had a few booked for it at least. He didn't get on top of it which made them do it even more.
This is the safest we've been all season.

I’ve read that about Romeu following pretty much all of his recent performances. Thank goodness he’s back to his best because we really need him.
From listening on Solent - who you would naturally expect to be slightly biased towards us - the only issues they seemed to pick up on Oliver were not booking Vardy for diving, and not giving Valery a straight red in the first half. I certainly didn't get any strong feeling about him having had a bad game.
They were like that in the cup game, worst divers I have seen all season. Maddison is appalling

yeah maybe but no hesitation in giving us the pen. No major mistakes- stuff around edges like too much time added on and failing to book for diving I will take compared to some of the shockers we’ve had this season. Easier to bear when we win of course. Oliver is one of few refs I rate and no change in that opinion today.
Valery didn't really dive (unlike Vardy) as there was definitely contact by Chilwell kicking the back of his legs
Lemina needs to be shown Romeu's performances against Chelsea and Leicester.
That work rate and desire alongside his skill and he'll be fantastic
