    I'm beginning to quite like the diamond formation.

    Worth remembering though that they've alternated Premier League and Cup games.

    I would guess the PL --> PL changes are minimal, and the Cup --> Cup won;'t be that many either.

    Leicester city manager Claudio Ranieri: "I'm very happy because Southampton deserved to win. They played better. We conceded too many chances to score a goal.

    "I recognise they played better than us. Fortunately we finished with a draw from the match." - BBC

    As always, an honest opinion from a good manager.

    Almost like we should have given it time eh? <whistle>

    Didn't see the game just followed on here but sounds like a really good performance and a decent point too.

    Did well out of 3 tricky away games this week, I said last Saturday I'd be happy with 4 in the league and a point in Israel. Job done.

    Not looking forward to 2 weeks off but will do Romeu some good to have a rest and I'm excited to see what Boufal can add to this team.

    Actually, let me qualify that.

    I like what I'd call the 'liquid diamond' - seems to give us defensive solidity and it's beginning to look good when the front players are fluid.

    If we *really* click, someone's in for a heavy beating.

    You get that little feeling that if the goals suddenly start to flow, some team is going to go home severely embarrassed.

    Indeed; I thought it could have been today, hence my heady £2 bet on our winning 3-0. It'll come.

    Slightly mixed feelings. Sounds like we played well, away to the champions and on the back of an way trip to Israel. And another clean sheet. All fantastic. But there's that element of regret that we only took one point rather than three - an element of regret which, yet again (as so often already this season), stems from the fact that we didn't sign a striker in the transfer window. Puel and Redmond have got to a very long way yet to convince me that the latter is a striker.

    I'm not admitting I like the diamond until Puel admits Redmond isn't a striker...
