Foxes 0 Sly Old Foxy Stoats 4 (Leicester Away 1/9/2018)

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Get the clanger out the way early and change immediately. Blessing in disguise hopefully.

[Jairzinho]

Achterberg getting the blame for that. Really?

 

No, not really.

[KMD7]

Another 3 points, job done. Only lost a goal because our keeper believes im himself. i can live wih it all season.

Repped for positive spinning

[Ne Moe Imya]

Meh.

 

Aside from a moment of madness from Alisson (that I think in the end is actually going to turn out to be a good thing because he will learn when he does and doesn't have the time for things like that) they produced essentially nothing.

 

Our attack is still just aaaalllmost clicking into gear instead of really blowing teams away but you sense that it will come. And our defense is suddenly unbelievably rigid. Well done in particular to Joe Gomez who I thought was even better than van Dijk, improbably.

 

All is well with the Reds. Top of the league!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Once Firmino gains his sharpness back the front three will click. Looks to be carrying a few extra pounds from the summer, but he'll work that off soon enough.

 

Great to be winning without hitting top gear.

Salah is a bigger worry.  Losing every physical one on one battle.  The only time he actually looks like the Salah of last season is when he has acres of space to work with.

Feels like he’s carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders from the Egypt FA stuff he just doesn’t seem as happy.

[Hades]

Meh.

The attack looks woeful against any parked defence unless they gift us a pressing chance. Coutinho is a huge loss. We'll still do alright against teams that give us space but have a feeling a few draws will cost us the title.

Salah has been off the pace in all the games so far this season. Second season syndrome? Still he scores and assists mind.

I bet you wear your socks in the bath, you bastard.

Hoping it's that and nothing to do with injury.  He's not right that's for sure.

Your mum told you this?

4 wins from 4. Excellent.

I think we can thank Ramos for that. Shoulder joints can take ages to heal properly which may explain is reluctance to get too physical in challenges 

[A_S]

It's a blatant foul too. This doesn't absolve the player from his part in it, but I'm curious how often the shove in the back will get a mention in the media.

[House of Dirk]

Three points against a team we can struggle against. 4 games 12 points, will have that all day long.

Not heard it once. Clear foul, wasn’t it.

[aws]

I

Not heard it once. Clear foul, wasn’t it.

Yes. But everyone hates a showboating keeper.

[suzy]

He still nearly got back in time to save it!

[INTORRESTING]

That midfield 3 shouldn't be playing together. We need Keita and the next buy needs to be a creative midfielder.

 

However, 12 points is perfect and there is so much room to improve. Exciting stuff

[Hades]

 

Majestic football, from Captain Shithouse, there.

[INTORRESTING]

You can't give these shit refs a chance to screw you ever, that ball needed to be cleared. He needs to pack the tricks in,and I am sure he will now, he looks amazing and doesn't need to showboat.

[Jairzinho]

Majestic football, from Captain Shithouse, there.

What the fuck is he thinking there?
