First game I've been to this season, and it was incredible! The whole team played really well, Okazaki especially who was absolutely everywhere, but credit to King and Wasilewski, who slotted in very easily, and Albrighton, who must have the strongest work ethic of any winger I've ever seen. Had Danny Drinkwater standing behind me as well for the entire second half, he was class, really getting involved with the fans, and I could hear him egging on every single player.
Yeah i heard the Drinkwater chants and presumed be must have been in the away end The team ethic created by Pearson and continued by Ranieri is amazing That afternoon in Watford was the best thing that ever happened to us. It really made us a tight group and credit to every player who has came in since as they have brought into it
The team that day; Starting XI 01 Schmeichel 02 De Laet 05 Morgan 15 M Keane 10 King 11 Dyer 16 James 24 Knockaert 18 Schlupp 35 Nugent 39 Wood Bench 13 Logan 03 Konchesky 22 Moore 04 Drinkwater 07 Marshall 09 Vardy 37 Kane 10 of the 18 man squad is still on the payroll. Funny how we had England's two best strikers on the bench that day. Who knew they'd go on to such things?
Is also amazing how many of those players are under 30 - massive props to our youth team/recruitment.
Would that be Jamie Vardy and Ian Marshall? I don't recall him being on the bench that day, but my memory isn't what it was.
wierd one marshall - one of our stars and then the wheels just came off and a move hasnt helped him either.
