me neither. I think they're just playing at their actual level. ie. like a side that is fighting against relegation.


No, they're playing with 1/2 the intensity they normally do and ducked themselves on basic set pieces. Maybe because Kante is gone

But this 2nd half is more of how the 1st should have gone


normally...or just last year? because they've been pretty much poor and lethargic every time i've seen them this season


They were a fantastic team last year and won the league. Teams change a lot season to season but quit trying to play them down because you sound like a cunt


I call it the way I see it. Last year they fought hard and deserved it all. this season i haven't seen the same fight in them and without the fight their squad is bang average and usually in prem those teams fight against relegation.
what good things have you seen from leicester this season in Prem?


Not just fight. They played us off the park at ours last season. That was more class than fight.

I hated their style of play last year. I am delighted to see them return from whence they came.

Leicester were special last season, no doubt at all, but every season is different. Their defence has changed and their attack has been found our.

Don't know about being delighted. I was rooting for them today.
Joking aside. I said the same about them last season. Found them very hard to watch.

Can't stand Gollum after his 'ethical' stuff with Lescott but I do have s little space in my heart for the BlackCats. Putrid smell of Rag shit but their supporters really are fanatical!

Such a shame, I'd prefer a Northern side in the Prem rather than some shandy drinking puff cunt bag from darn Sarf'.

Agreed. Been up there a few times and their fans are a great bunch.

How shit do Chelsea look? Any team with Ivanovic and Luiz in their back four will struggle against movement and pace.

Cant put it all on Conte.

They have horrible defenders and for all of his potetial Courtois has been pretty poor since beating out Cech

Sign him up!

If he was a few years younger (and we'd never signed him) he'd probably be on our 'buy to loan out' list.

Poor as he is, if he was at city and Pep got to work on him, we might well see a different player altogether.

He might even look better than the mighty Kolarov (sorry Mase).

Joe Hart saves a Dzeko header, and neither of them play for City.

Surreal.

Are you sure Dzeko didnt sky the header over the bar and Hart kicked the resulting goal kick into touch?

Joeys playing great. Funnily enough, Dzeko just headed over the bar from 3 yards out. Hehe.

Good match that Torino Roma. Italian football far more interesting than it used to be

So open wasn't it? End to end stuff with minimal midfield pressure.
