    Best player in the Premier League?

    What a mental statement that would have been a few months ago.

    No, I don't think he is mate. Best player outside of the big clubs though.

    Currently he is.

    Well it's between him and Ozil.

    Aguero is the best when he's not crippled in my opinion.

    There isn't a single word I can argue with in that!

    Looks excellent again

    Vardy reminds me of Phillips as well. Is Phillips still at Leicester?

    KP is at Derby now Marcus, if the Leicester attack and attitude is down to him then we should have snapped him up. Or maybe we will given time.

    I think so.

    Then you have Ulloa who is just a donkey.

    Best form player... Hazard, Ozil, Aguero, YAYA, Kompany, Schweinsteiger are all better players quickly thinking from the top of my head.

    Game on here.

    For all Leicester's positive forward play, their defence isn't great.

    Insane to think they bought him for less than a million quid.

    He's looked unplayable tonight and that goal was superb.

    Wonder how much he'd be worth on current form.

    I'm just thinking Mahrez is at an unfashionable club so not getting the recognition.

    Best player for me on his day is Aguero.

    We just rarely see him nowadays.

    £35m cos he plays for Leicester.

    £50m+ if he played for one of the 'Big' clubs.

    His movement is almost identical. He's not as good all round but is style is very Phillips like. Git to remember he coached him last season

    That could very well be it, before this season Vardy had a ratio of something close to 1 in 4. I'm not going to shoot my load over him when he's going through the best form of his career. If he's still scoring goals as consistently at this time next year, then I'll start giving him a bit more credit.

    I've been really impressed with Kante, seems a great player. Still running his arse off after ninety minutes, doesn't even look tired.

    Leicester have done it. Chelsea looked like they have played themselves back into form this second half. Just in time for us <ok>

    LCFC guaranteed safety really.

    January will tell them everything they need to know about their owners.

    They could sell Vardy and Mahrez for £70m no bother at all.

    I think the main question about Mahrez is to ask who scouted him for Leics. Playing in French league should have alerted one of the bigger clubs over there. All credit to Leics scouting staff.
