    Cannot see anything that caused City fans to fume.

    Lineker, Murphy and Shearer were full of praise for City and 2 players in participation and so what they didn’t mention Bamba’s tackle? The commentator praised him on that and his other block. In fact the commentators’ comments were spot on.

    Just good humoured banter between the 3 after Warnock’s interview but they genuinely agreed City deserved the [magnificent] win.

    ps I agree that Morrison was naive in giving away the penalty, which was the correct decision.

    Didn't know that Etheridge studied under Schwarzer. An excellent keeper.

    Fair plays lads. We did what we normally do. Have alot of the ball and do alot of nothing with it. Other then Vardy’s chance in the first half and the peno we didnt create real chances and we got what we deserved for it.

    All the best for the rest of the season

    Saw the highlights on MotD and it looked like you slaughtered us. Know editing can be misleading.
    Plenty of half chances for you, but didn't look anything that was a blatant miss (other than the pen).
    Murphy and Harris could have done better with their chances as well.
    3 much needed points. With the one against palace as well I'll settle for that.

    We don't like having the ball too much PF - we seldom know what to do with it when we have an excess of possession. Our game is essentially counter attack through necessity rather than design.

    It does come off as you saw yesterday but all too often we lie far too deep and give ourselves too much ground to cover - yesterday we got it right. Pushed higher up the pitch and controlled midfield with Gunnar and Arter policing it and Camarasa pushing on.

    I will say if we had a proper striker at the sharp end instead of an injured right back playing in that position through necessity we could more than probably be up around your table position by now

    Let's see what the New Year fairy brings eh? <ok>

    Give us the ball and we dont know what to do with it. Puel is beyond clueless

    While if teams come at us we play counter attack and can beat anyone. I thought apart from the peno you was very organised at the back. Murphy pissed me off as all he does is fall over when someone goes near him. Gunnarsson was your best player.

    I think you will stay up now

    Our issues was Mendy and Ndidi will stop you playing but have no creativity about them going forward. You drop deep not giving Vardy space. Let us have the ball and we dont have a clue

    In previous years we would have just looked to Mahrez to open you up but sadly we dont have anyone who can do that anymore

    Watched the whole game streamed live remote - just happened to find it and that's a first for me. Those edited highlights were a joke.

    We were solid in the first half although they had most of the possession but the second half was far more even and we looked the only side with an intent to win the game. Leicester seemed to give up after they took Vardy off and I honestly thought it would be a well earned point for us until that Cammy goal.

    When it went in, my two dogs lying on the floor beside me (that's the 4 legged ones :emoticon-0105-wink:) thought I'd gone mental.........<laugh>

    We had a lot more of the ball but only time we really troubled you was when Ricardo got forward. We had a few half decent shots which was well saved but apart from Vardy getting behind in the first half and the peno you was quite comfortable.

    Going forward you didnt trouble us but as the away team you came with a game plan probably to get a point but a bit of quality from Camarasa was the difference.

    You will play better and lose one day. Neither team deserved to win overall but at the end of the day its all about sticking the ball in net which you did

    Yes, I must say a few of us across here have formed that opinion as well - it's the opposite approach to every other member of our side and does annoy.

    Gunnar is so good at destroying and Arter is excellent riding shotgun with him. For me and probably most across here, Victor Camarasa is pure class in front of those two.

    Thanks for the posts and the positive vibes - we still have it all to do but if committment has anything to do with it, we'll be ok. <ok>

    It’s going to be a scrap to stay up with probably 6 teams trying to avoid the drop. How they get on against each other will be pivotal.

    Ps Murphy and Madison are 2 of a kind for falling over
