Re: Leicester City v Leeds Utd Match Thread
We’ve just watched the two best sides in the division by a mile.
Leeds played us like kippers. They had a game plan and stuck to it brilliantly.
Get yer dosh on Leicester to win the league and Leeds second.
Stop all this nonsense about how good Sunderland etc were. Leeds are a cut above

It's going to be blocked here in the USA. A slight annoyance given the coverage we do get.

Re: Leicester City v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I thought that was bloody brilliant from minute one. The way our 2 wingers supported the full backs in the second half nullified the only threat they had.
Sleeping tonight may be a problem. Cmon Leeds!!!

I’m Kamara’s biggest fan and he won Skys MOM but I thought Ampadu shaded it. Terrific though from both, so cool in that middle

Re: Leicester City v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I think regarding Leicester when I've seen them they don't blow you away with scintillating football, it's basically a crap Man City style (meant in the most respectful way).
They just pass and pass and pass and wait for lapses in concentration to use the superior players they have vs the majority of the league if not all to take advantage of those moments with sharp brief moments of quality play.
We didn't have those lapses in concentration and the players deserve great credit.
But we also don't have the massive quality disparity the majority of the league have.
So they struggled.
Clearly going to be better than most sides on individuals alone though.
Mavididi and Fatuwa are handfuls.

Fantastic performance, can’t remember any time over 96 mins we looked in real trouble. Excellent team performance but Kamara was my MOTM.
Without Rodon I don’t think we’d have got that result, so crucial to the team but Glen bossed the midfield & seemed to be everywhere.

Ah it’s just funny. Maybe you had to be there but he tried to give Kamara the MOTM award before the interview was finished.

He always does. He's Leeds and he knows he is. He'll get his chance and he'll take it

Re: Leicester City v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Absolutely agree. This was more than just a great win - Tony Dorigo said it afterwards, this builds us in so many areas. Every single player was 100% in.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 10:01 pm Can't help but feel that we grew as a team today. Thought we were very stout today defensively. Kamara was stellar in midfield.
There will also now be a few teams who will look at this and say they can do the same against Leicester.
In spite of many on this forum saying the top 2 positions are a done deal, today proves that couldn't be further from the truth. Have to keep our foot down of course, but this will make the squad look at top 2.

To your point, they had 693 passes today (91% accurate). We had 360 (82% accurate).Cjay wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 10:32 pm I think regarding Leicester when I've seen them they don't blow you away with scintillating football, it's basically a crap Man City style (meant in the most respectful way).

BUT - we had 11 shots they had 10 (6 on target versus their 1)
Sort of reminds me of the Spain's tiki-taka strategy of a few years ago. Brilliant but other teams can undo you!
Any credit for the boss cjay
