Post match thread Leicester 4-1 Southampton

[Corky]

Good to end with a win and a few goals. First half was a non event but second much better. Good goals too.

 

8th is below par but ending the season well was important. Been a long season and a break will do everyone good.

[MalletFox]

Game had a real end of season feel to it, as expected. Second half was much better and genuinely enjoyable to watch.

 

Looking forward to the summer now and seeing what business we do!

Danny Ward called me mate at the end of season party. I believe I’m now ITK.

We have to happy with 8th considering most of our fans would have said we've had such a poor season.

 

But, it makes results like spurs at home and Everton away feel a little more bitter, 5 more points would have a 3rd season in succession of European football.

 

In the long run, missing out on Europe might do us good, no extra games etc but seeing us conceded game after game from corners and seeing stats about how many points we've dropped from winning positions...... this season could have been so different.

 

considering how badly we played at times, yeah we have to be happy with 8th. 
 

 

but you can’t help but think if we’d at least been consistent not even spectacular, where could we have finished?

Don't know why we are last on MOTD behind say Palace 

I think you just have to see who they’re playing to give you the answer!

Yes, depressing that even when they are crap they get attention

Evans with a terrible Terry Butcher impression it has to be said.

Yes I agree he's contributed to lots of goals, but no one can deny that he could have had a lot more. He's got so much potential but he is lacking in the intelligence department. So many bad decisions through out the season 

I agree, feels like he's had a poor season and yet he delivers more than some players who look like they're contributing more in games. It's not a bad trait to have but let's hope he gets back to his best next season, fast and dynamic football helps him, he's wasted when we play that slow ponderous possession football as he's only interested in taking players on when the games is stretched.

A game that shows how important Vardy is for us. He drives us forward and sparks enthusiasm, both from the players and the crowd! He closes down from the front which brings everyone up the pitch. When he plays we press higher and have more confidence on the ball. In turn that reduces freekicks near our goal and prevents CBS from pinging deadly balls forward. 

 

Absolute legend! A true Fantastic Mr Fox. 

...the way Vardy functions for us, is dependent on how the opposition approaches the game!!!

The amount of time we have had Vardy isolated and unable to get into the game as he does not get the service that he needs. Against certain teams we can squeeze them and pressure them in their own half. We are pretty much flat track bullies.

Just watched the BBC’s after match interview with the Southampton manger and he wanted a penalty for the clash of heads with Evans and Armstrong also how come we both made 4 subs Southampton 3 + concussion sub we just made 4  😂

Spot on.  That ponderous tippy tappy style hardly suites any of our players.

9 months, 58ish games, ups and downs galore, skip load of goals,  but one question remains.

 

 

 

 

 

Where is Ian Stringer?

Doing birch’s run today 

I’ve often felt he could be the one to take over the run after the Birch hangs up his trainers. Andy king for the pitch bit when he hangs up the microphone.

 

Has stringer retired from bbc radio Leicester now or is he planning on coming back?

I think it's brilliant that Manchester United being crap gets attention.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Was  it me or was yesterday a disproportionately joyous occasion with Birch's run (what a guy!), the atmosphere in the crowd before the game, the c*ck up from Mossy giving us our 1st goal (seemed fitting some how) a very good second half performance and the togetherness at the end between players, their families, the crowd and our Wonderful Chairman. 

 

I enjoyed it ridiculously and can't wait for some transfers, pre season and next season.

No idea why he’s not on there anymore. There have been rumours on here.
I’d presume he’s not going back though.

Stringer was at Burnley away with Jason Bourne and he said he was on a sabbatical to me

They declared Armstrong as being a concussion sub when he was taken off

hence they are then allowed to make 4 subs total. Had they just subbed him as an injury then both sides would have been restricted to three. It’s their call. 

 

to avoid any shenanigans, the rules state the opposition are allowed to make the same number of subs = 4 in this case

OK thanks for that I didn’t know the last bit I knew the concussion sub rule and that he’d gone of with concussion

Perhaps their manager was trying to deflect from his own failures during Saints last games

Very odd considering it was their player that nutted Evans
