i thought the lads were fantasic... and arsenal wernt too bad either lol. seriously im proud of how leicester kept fighting and going forward right to the end , but arsenals excellant counterattacking and movement in general , showed up the naivety of our defence. we looked a lot more solid at the end of last season when we played a three at he back, with huth, morgan and wasilewski.
but with claudio sticking with 4-4-2 wassa hasnt had a look in . attack wise we are superb, and its exciting being a leicester fan at the minute. bring on norwich
Özil keeps being useless. If it wasn`t for his name everbody would question what input he gives to the game that justifies his spot in the first 11 ...
It was a tight first half and Leicester did well but we, and Sanchez in particular, turned it on in the 2nd half and we could've scored 7 or 8. Mertesacker had a poor game but that was almost certainly due to playing 2 games in 4 days after weeks out with a chest infection. I think Gabriel will come in midweek. We missed Coquelin and it's clear we don't have a genuine back-up.
why Wenger doesnt try Chamberlain for Ramsey out wide when in big lead? Ramsey is bad there and can be used in his favoured central role when ocassion arises.
Very entertaining match which I guess can be expected of Leicester. Okazaki was probably substituted because he was told to run his lungs off in first half already.
This season Leicester has been a team to watch with mahrez playing like a champ, vardy and albrighton all doing great....It wont be a surprise if Leicester wins today...
Unless Sanchez comes back to form...
Leicester to WIN
Ok, Coquelin is out for sure and that's bad news. I hope we can cope with his absence, which is going to be very difficult. I still believe in a hard fought victory.
Waiting for team news from Wenger, mostly about Coq. Flamini played a more box-to-box role vs Tottenham and I'm not sure he'll start as an anchorman in this game. Rested Santi and Mesut to shine in this one, hopefully - Theo, too. COYG!
Agree definately top match. leicester is playing very good football. They played with second team against West Ham. Once again i am gunning against Arsenal. Midfield is clearly not working, neither defence nor attacking cant produce anything. On the other side Kante is Makelele with spring in his foot and also to produce something in attack. Kramaric shoved some skills against West ham but lacked finishing. He wont start but it is good to know the Leicester depth. Leicester to win.
this will be a very good match to sit and watch, the match of the weekend for me,Leicester and Arsenal, may the better team on the day win, hope the referee don't influence this match in a negative way and we can see a good clean game.
I expect Gabriel to start ahead of Mertesacker. I don't see Per playing 2 games in a few days coming off a chest infection. I also expect Flamini to come in in place of Coquelin rather than Arteta after his performance against Spurs last night. I really hope Ramsey isn't on the RW but I suspect he will be. Walcott will probably start up front because Giroud started in the league cup. Leicester gave us 2 good games last season and I expect this to be no different. I think we'll win though, 2-1.
@Overmars- I was actually thinking Wenger could go that way but then he doesn't seem to have much faith in Giroud this season at all plus he started him in the league cup game. I get the feeling, with Wenger, he doesn't have his best striker so he's going week to week so it's flip a coin to who will start. Theo hardly plays 90 minutes anyway so maybe him on for the first 75 then Giroud from the bench or vice versa? It's guess time! Ha

This was the best performance I've seen from Arsenal this season.

@neumi17 well you obviously know nothing about football
@neumi17 @neumi17 if you think Özil is useless, you really fail to understand football properly.
@neumi17 well, set up the 2nd and 3rd goal, so he cant be that useless as you said

had Internet problems:( he did so already. BTW Vardy great today and Mahrez confiriming is good form

Time for Alexis to prove his worth. Coquelin will be a big miss. Hopefully Flamini can step up to the plate. Hard fought victory 2-1 #COYG!

Leicester have done amazing but Arsenal's record against them is almost 100% wins! I predict a 2:0 Arsenal
There goes someone again predicting our demise. Leicester 1-2 Arsenal. FIOS.
the mighty blue foxes to sneak it 1-0 ... and pizzas all round
Gabriel given a 1-game ban for improper conduct so is out of this. Mertesacker will come in now.
Ok, Coquelin is out for sure and that's bad news. I hope we can cope with his absence, which is going to be very difficult. I still believe in a hard fought victory.
I think Arsenal will win this match 0-2. Hopefully Alexis and Theo score.

@SteveHyland Giroud is banned for the Olympiakos game so he could start vs Leicester. I'm not sure if Theo will start this match or not.

Leicester a new win
Arsenal to go 0-2 up at HT, Leicester to equalize 2-2 by FT
@Zee530 then better to pick ARSENAL FIRST TO SCORE 1.60 :D
