The Leicester City "spiral" watch!

Huth is a thug.

 

.. but you missed the Mahrez penalty, the Fellaini elbow on Huth (which the FA have to act on) and that fat boy should have gone for a second yellow for the pull back on Demarai Gray? ... having already been booked and when Leicester had 3 against 2 but for that pull back ... at least the ref was consistent ...

 

It's not pretty, that's for sure. They won today with 30% possession - a new low even for them. But somehow it works.

 

Only thing I see is a Spur side than is unable to lose , before Leicester put a foot on another ball , if they want to win the title . The fat lady is approaching at a steady rumble ... And when it comes to refs , Leicester has been on the low end of refs all season .

 

Away at Chelsea - what do you think

 

...one we didn't win ............... but we did show excellent resilience and had them on the rack for quite some time in the second half ... before Drinky got sent off the commentators even commented that we looked the more likely to be the next scorers ...what is this obsession with possession stats? ... the United fans were vocally disgruntled with all their no penetration sideways passing in the second half and cacking themselves every time we broke with pace and purpose ... if Vardy had played today we would have likely won that ... as it was, nothing lucky about the result ... we could still have won it.

The only team in the top six to have beaten us this season is Arsenal ... and that tells you everything ...

 

... and Fellaini is an Angel ... and Andy Carroll never uses his physicality unfairly

 

Good point away at United, and now just 2 required - or 0 if Spuds fail to win tomorrow.
Good luck for last 2 games

 

Of course it's what you do with your possession that's more important. However, whichever way you look at it, 30% possession signifies a team playing very defensive football. You can't exactly attack without the ball, can you?

 

Cheers G4E ... Vardy back but Drinkwater out against Everton ... in fairness I'd take that rather than the other way round at this point ... Andy King or maybe the almost forgotten Gokhan Inler can come in ...

 

I missed nothing. Mahrez here, Simpson tugging there, Fellaini elbowing, Huth grappling. At least today it was fairly even in terms of ****eness, but the ref was never going to give a pen against you, even if Drinkwater had fouled him on the penalty spot, dropped the kids pants and started dry humping him, and you'd be stupid not to admit it. The media have so much vested interest in Leicester winning, woe betide the ref who gets in their way. I wish Newcastle would get some of that.

Sissoko looked at the ball wrong the other day and the ref gave a penalty for handball

 

... did you watch the game? ... we went chasing a second for most of the game and could easily have come away with all 3 points ... time to remove the Spud blinkers ... we had 14 goal attempts away from home at Man United ... yes we were ultra defensive ...

 

I would swap 75% possession for 100% of the title !

its not what you do when you don't have the ball that counts, it's what you do when you have it !
Leicester are the opposite of Arsenal in that we have loads of possession and do **** all with it.

 

You might have chased, but please do explain to me how you intend to score without the ball?...

 

I've already said its effective, mate. Just don't try and convince me that it's pretty, or not based on defense first.

 

... as the replays showed both Simpson and Lindgard were 'tugging' ... I thought the ref got that one right from the replay ...

 

So true. I've been saying that for ages.

 

Yep. Love him.

 

Wanna bet , the Foxes have been doing it all season ....on the counter .

 

... funny ... the fans of just about every other team have complimented us on how exciting our football is to watch ... the only detractors are generally Spuds fans and, on occasion, the teams we may have just beaten after a match ...

I suspect your definition of 'pretty' come down to 'Spurs' ... I see West Ham went and stuffed West Brom 3-0 yesterday ... probably not overly pretty I'd guess ... but if you are going to win the league you have to cope with everything that is thrown at you ... sometimes you will get the chance to go and express yourselves ... we did at Man City where we won with style and panache and gave their galacticos a footballing lesson ... but anybody labelling us a defensive team with out goal tally this season is well and truly talking out of their arse
