    Personally think we look so much better with Albrighton. A bit like Okasaki, not necessarily the very best but makes everyone else play better and much better shape

    In fairness a fully fit Vardy is an exceptional striker and we need to have more faith ... onwards and upwards... and Barnes is a real bonus too <cheers>

    Piss poor results for me too mate. Don't mind only picking up 1 point for the win when we score 4 though.

    I’m delighted to get no points on the prediction league after predicting a 0-1! Helps to have got a couple of correct score lines in Saturdays games though.

    Fantastic performance and result like it was back before Christmas again. Hopefully it can be a catalyst for another decent if not spectacular run to get us over the line

    A good run of fixtures now could see us pull clear of fourth and even threaten second. What a difference one good result makes

    Shocking first half. The build up was so slow and absolutely no penetration and confidence looked low. Thought it might come back to bite us after we kept missing so many set piece chances. The only positives were the performances of Justin and Ndidi.

    Everything changed when Vardy came on and the old high press and ruthless finishing returned. Great second goal from Barnes.

    Justin to keep his place for Saturday?

    Vardy for Iheanacho as the only change for me.

    I thought Justin and Barnes linked up a lot better than Chilwell and Barnes.

    Agreed. There was far less passing backwards from Justin and a more adventurous approach going forwards - ironically all things that Chilwell did when he first got into the team.

    I think we lacked a bit of creativity with Tielemans on the bench, even though he has been off over the last few games, and he made some bad decisions last night.

    I'm liking Praet. Very steady, composed on the ball, can put a tackle in and gets about the pitch well.

    I liked it how Grealish didn't want to know last night after Ndidi done him. :1980_boogie_down:

    3 Leicester first team players are self isolating because they are showing symptoms of coronavirus - Watford match will definitely be off.

    There is more bad news - Perrera is out for the season with an ACL injury and Maddison is out for 2 weeks at least.

    The 3 players are now being reported as having symptoms 'consistent with a seasonal illness' (ie a cold or flu) and are only being asked to self-isolate for a week. They still might have it of course, only time will tell.

    Can see the rest of the season being canned, then the arguments will start. Who goes down, who comes up? Finish the season later and delay next season? Its going to get serious. Lawyers are going to get richer.

    I don’t think you can have a champion and certainly no relegation - not fair due to games remaining. It’s whether they can finish it off later or just cut it off and start again

    Chelsea have a player diagnosed and are in lock down, Arteta has tested positive, Man City and us have players in self quarantine. I can't see how the season continues.

    Rumours are abound that the season might be declared void and we will be using last season's places for the purposes of European league places etc.

    That would be the worst possible outcome for us but typical of the power of the top six.
