Leicester City 3-0 Preston North End - Post Match Thread

[Bordersfox]

Great result.  As an aside I really, really like the cut of Yunus' jib.  Think he'll end up being a great little player for us.

5 subs has really helped us turn the screw when teams are flagging and it's great for squad rotation too

5 subs rule built for the big 6.

and we are an example of that in the championship

Lovely, lovely football.

 

I can't really think of a player that I would seriously criticize in this match!  Everyone contributed, and played well.

 

Glad we stayed patient and kept probing their stacked defense.

 

27 out of 30 possible points!  Enzo is brilliant.

 

Up the Foxes!

[StanSP]

9 wins from 10. Can't complain at that.

 

Get the points in the bag while other teams falter.

 

Preston winning at Ipswich would be sweet on Saturday.

 

So good to see players come off the bench and make a difference. Kel was superb in his short time on pitch. KDH was very good.

 

Still can't fathom why so many people piss themselves silly just because we're not winning 3-0 at half-time instead. Be patient, trust in the players and trust in Enzo!

Now that was a sight for sore eyes if I do say so myself. I’m glad we got relegated because this new and improved team is truly the best thing since bloody sliced bread 

[Bilo]

This is almost bullying at this point.

 

If we can maintain or even build on these levels, and have the rub of the green with injuries, we could genuinely threaten Reading's record.

That was Premier league Nacho that came on tonight 

[chuck'em]

Time to offer Enzo 250k a week for 5 years I reckon

The difference between the championship Enzo and the premier league Rodgers is just too massive, it’s a joke really.

He looks a real gem, Abdul looks raw but exciting. 
mavadidi is the one who I am

not sure of if we go up.

The second half was stunning, the goals were pure ejaculation. I know it won’t last forever but I don’t care, just loving this football 

[lgfualol]

I need to stop getting frustrated if we’ve not scored after 60 minutes, we’re ****ing brilliant and I love Enzo

Maresca is phenomenal. Our squad is exceptional at this level. Our fans (especially on the MDT) need to wise the fvck up and chill the fvck out. 
 

Calling it now, we are champions.  

I really don't get your logic, nobody that I saw in the MDT were saying the game was finished, we all had pretty valid criticisms of the first half, because it was objectively poor and we made it easy for them. Then we had a fantastic second half. We knew PNE would park the bus, which is exactly why slow passing across the back 4 was the wrong approach, we needed to be sharper, we gifted them 45 minutes.

All valid criticisms and nothing to do with you being "wiser" because you're more happy to watch that kind of football, Enzo would not have been happy with that either. Really sad to hear such great posters like yourself jumping on the band wagon of attacking other posters for pretty valid opinion in that moment.

I'm still so angry we're in this league... It's an absolute joke... And not fair on the rest of the championship!

Yeah you're right on that, it's benefitting us massively

3 great goals. Such a shame kelechi's effort didn't go in for the last one but still unbelievable 

...I think he needs to realise his contribution to the team lies with linking and supplying,(playing as a #10) goal scoring should be secondary!!!

The goals will naturally come, hanging on to the ball looking for his next goal, does not help the team, use the players around you.

[bmt]

If nacho scored that first time it's the best goal I've ever seen

[The Doctor]

Leeds in 6th are closer to 23rd place Rotherham than to us. We're just far far too good for this division 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

The thing is, until we upped the tempo and intent in the final 30. I thought we were a bit average. Sure we bossed possession. But didn't create much and Preston looked comfortable. But we are so better than the oppos. That eventually the class counts and we get the break. We win that comfortably and as someone said - barely out of 2nd gear. I wouldn't mind us flipping on 3rd & 4th gear occasionally though!

[Daggers]

@cityfanlee23 - can’t reply to you there, so here…

 

Yes it does. The criticism in the first half was ridiculous and blinkered. The MDT failed to understand that this is a game of 90 minutes and you approach it as such. The quality and depth in squad is always going to win out against any team that isn’t running at 110%. Pissing and moaning in the first half displays an abject lack of understanding of strategy and willingness to be patient. The whines were over the top and akin to children bitching about a lack of pudding options in a pub with a play pit.

If Enzo can start Danny Ward in the PL and not see us relegated then he’s arguably the best manager in history.
