I imagine that Leicester would have far too much for us. No wait. We beat them fair and square this season , Vardy, Mahrez and all. That Steve Bruce and his crazy tactics, eh?
I would prefer it if City played buccaneering, attacking football but, in truth, we never have played football that way at any time since I saw my first match over 40 years ago. Steve Bruce is a risk-averse and unimaginative, but we are doing as well as can be reasonably expected for a club of our size and heritage. To suggest that the Leicester fairytale can easily be replicated simply by buying really great players that no-ones ever heard of for very little money and telling them to attack is moronic. Leicester are on an unprecedented run this season, one they are unlikely ever to replicate. Their success this season can hardly be used as a benchmark, or template for others. It's a freak event.
Our reserves beat their reserves. It was a good performance and a good result, but if we played their first team we'd get tonked, they're not top of the Premier League by accident.
Vardy played an hour as did Drinkwater. Inler from the start also Okazaki and Albrighton. Mahrez played played 35 minutes.
Glad you told me that, i couldn't see who was coming on and off from my seat next to the away dug-out.
I was surprised at how effective Drinkwater is. Not elegant like Bobby Moore, but damned effective. A defensive masterclass. For me, Mahrez is their best player, and Vardy wouldn't do so well without him. The key thing is, they are a TEAM.
Vardy isn't in our reserves. Our reserves started that game and some of our regulars started on the bench. None of our players would do as well without Mahrez. Although N'Golo Kante is our best player.
Bookies revised losses should Leicester City win the league now reported to be in the region £50million. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/lat...al-if-Leicester-win-premier-league-funny-bets I would love them to win it be somehow I think they'll get pipped at the post.
Have seen every Leicester league game this season and for being consistently good I would rate Kante ahead of Mahrez.
