It was a penalty, clear contact, though as usual Sterling made a meal of it.

Fair enough then, only saw it the once

All modern players make a meal of it, including your players and mine

No complaints from me, 3-1 flattered us. KDB and Mahrez were both brilliant. Onto Liverpool on Boxing Day then WHU away 28th Dec.

Really hoped you’d had won on Saturday (with the proviso you caught Liverpool!) so please stuff them on Boxing Day like you did to us last year!

Think we'll get a draw, but can't see us winning. Our wingers have been very poor this year, not good enough for a top 4 club. Vardy being in the form of his life has covered for them and got us out of situations where we would have dropped points. We definitely need to sign a world class winger in January from abroad, I think we will too, Rodgers isn't stupid.

There's no way anyone is catching Liverpool, 13 points clear if they win their game in hand. Fair play to them, they've been incredible for over a year straight!

[Leicester Loyal]

Outplayed, outthought and outdone by one of the best teams I've ever witnessed. Onto West Ham on Saturday, looking forward to visiting the London Stadium for the first time.

Before the game I would have grudgingly accepted a draw. I think you've just caught us in a rich vein of form, pretty much everything clicked, apart from from maybe Salah's left boot.

Ouch!

Very decent of you, that was the best I have seen us play all season and we were so dominant we made you look ordinary (which you most certainly are not).

Good luck for rest of season and please finish second

Please keep posting like this.

Yes, we were comprehensively outplayed - again.
We've lost our composure a bit. Hope it returns soon otherwise the inevitable slide will begin.

[Leicester Loyal]

Just back from the game. How have we managed to get 3 points with that team? Unbelievable, fair play to the squad today. I thought Justin played exceptional and think we might use him at RB and Ricardo at RW against Newcastle.

[Flying Phil]

Nice to know that we can still win with lots of different players....strength in depth starting to happen.

[BadBull]

I hope you guys get second.

[Flying Phil]

A good start to 2020 with a 3-0 win against Newcastle....

A most succinct and breviloquent summary of the encounter, flying Phil.

Well two dictionaries later and I still have not found "breviloquent"....but glad that we are keeping the Foxes in the PH consciousness....

[Leicester Loyal]

Well after a rough few weeks we've finally pulled a win out of the bag. I reckon 5 more wins will be enough to secure CL as the teams in the Europa spots just aren't consistant enough to put together a run of wins.

[Cobnapint]

We certainly seem to have regained our fizz. Outstanding performance.

Vs Brentford is the big Saturday BBC live game then.

Hopefully we can banish all memories of the Newport fiasco....

It'll be a challenge, but surely they'll be more concerned with promotion?

I'd play the reserves with a couple of first teamers and a couple of U23 lads. I think they'll also put out a 2nd team, so it could go either way. Villa on Tuesday and Chelsea next weekend are the much more important games in my opinion.
