Absolutely no idea what your point is. I'm saying Leicester were crap because they created nothing. I'm not taking credit away from Adrian. 

[Jennings]

I am feeling pretty unbearable at the moment.

Hard game after the slog in midweek. We should have wrapped up the points long before Maddison even got his chance. The referee was very lenient on a lot of Leicester's shithousery, not penalising players for shirt pulls, holding and cynical fouls. How he didn't send off the Leicester player for that rugby tackle near the end I have no idea. It's amazing he saw the foul and gave the penalty in stoppage time, given the rest of his performance. Mike Riley and co will be telling him he aced it no doubt.

 

Big Game James doing what Big Game James does. Coolness personified for the penalty, and a superb pass for Sadio's opener.

 

8 games. 8 wins. 24 points. Start as we mean to go on.

Couldn't have done it without Suzy!

Thank you! Absolutely buzzing after that. I was getting a bit anxious with 15 mins to go thinking if they equalise....

The funny thing was everyone jumping about like we’d won when  VAR called the pen! I was thinking we’ve got to score it yet.

Big game James though, so pleased he was on the pitch! 

Mo was very wasteful and should have had about 5! Lovren actually made a few good tackles too.

We were mostly all over them so definitely deserved the win.

This is why the Man U game will be a bit harder than some people think. They too will park the bus and look for a bit of luck up front. 

Yeah, but Leicester are decent, Utd are dogshit and if we don't win we only have ourselves to blame.

i don’t care what they say on blue moon, I don’t care what they say on grand old team, I don’t care what they say on redcafe. I’ve watched many seasons when the champions have won matches they didn’t deserve, they got a lucky break, or they got a last minute winner. I’m overjoyed and you lot mean less than nothing to me. We roll on.

That's the most I've struggled to watch a penalty for a long time. Proper balls of steel, especially with the lengthy VAR delay and then Schmeichel's snide attempts at gamesmanship.

 

Ironically, if the cunt with hair that looks like the pink panther after he's been in a washing machine hadn't hobbled Mo, he might have taken it and he wasn't having his best game, so who knows...

 

Gerrard against Arse in 07 when Babel got brought down was like today. It's shocking that the oil cheating cunts have raised the bar so high, that a record of 7 wins and a draw from 8 would be seen as 2 points dropped. Cunts

Exactly we still have the points to console us for being jammy cunts.

Everyone moaned about Slur and his cheating ways but he still has 8 PL titles to reflect upon,

You have to love these Sky fucks showing the Trent challenge on Tielmans but not the assault on Mo from Choudhury shithouse on their highlights.

[Lee909]

Got to laugh at all the Leicester players and Rodgers claiming they donimated parts of the game(Maddison) looked a threat through out/deserved more(Rodgers) 

 

You had two shits and one on target ya bellends. You just about did enough to stay in the game and scored from your only shot on target 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I love it when they wait for a team playing against us to have a bit of possession so they can put up their 'Possession in the last 5 minutes' bollocks. 

 

Fuck em. We have quite clearly fucked up a lot of people's weekends yet again.

We should complain to the FA about that, not on, not on at all. 

[Jennings]

...and this sort of stuff doesn't give me any satisfaction !!!

Let’s be honest even with 11 men it was going to be the same result. 2 defensive midfielders, Gylfi invisible again, no creativity and zonal marking. Another weekend ruined. Time to go Marco. #SilvaOut

Clearly we need to manage Milner in terms of giving him the odd break, but he really should be playing all our important games.  In this game, as in midweek, his enormous swinging testicles has brought us to bear.

It's just that your argument that that save doesn't count sounds a bit like "pace goals don't count".

Yup. It seems a few people in the media were hanging their hats on Leicester making us drop points, and are a tad pissed off.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

30 more wins and we might win the League.

I'm assuming this is why he hasn't started so many games so far. Agree though he's an absolutely immense player.

I bet quite a few were already on their third paragraph of guff when we got that penalty.

On a more practical note, the Mane incident brings into focus a couple of seemingly incompatible aspects of the game as it stands: 

 

- refs NEVER giving a foul for a player who keeps his feet even if impeded

 

- VAR setting an impossibly high bar for overruling a ref's call either way with the 'clear and obvious' criteria

 

Players are going to continue to go down like Mane did for those very reasons. Both issues are able to be addressed by the FA should they want to. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Watching West Ham v Crystal Palace on Bein Sports but cant find out who the co-commentator is as he sounds like a Merseyside fella. Its doing my head in.

[aws]

I thought we played really well except for the final ball which seems to have gone to shit a bit since the Mane strop. Too much trying to walk it in and we look better when we're a bit more selfish.  

 

Leicester looked pretty good but we were just too good for them, Probably  the best visitors since Salzburg. I reckon they'll get top four.

 

As for Kilbane, you can take the cunt out of Everton but... 

[Carvalho Diablo]

I thought we played really well, bossing the game from start to finish against a really good side (easily the best team we've played this season).

 

The front 3 didn't quite click though and that colletive tentativeness stems from that Mane - Salah spat at Southampton. We seem to be allowing some of those accusations of stickiness weigh on our minds and we are thinking about that final ball just a little too much.

 

Still, can't win em all eh...?
