Pipe down will ya. It has been a very professional performance
All in jest I'm sure, but we were comfortable against Southampton, and yet conceded a daft goal at the end. That wasn't very professional.

We were comfortable yesterday, but again took our win for granted and if not for Hugo, Gezzal could have scored at least once from two clear chances. Again, not very professional.

It seems a quibble given the result at full time, but it's these details that make the difference at the death, and certainly against less forgiving opposition (see the previous weekends result)

Gezzal did have a couple of shots but noeither were from really clear chances, he did well to get the shots in but to be fair Harry Kane in goal could have caught them too, in any game you will have shots against you but they can't all be counted as lucky let offs.
I tink we did stop trying to score anymore goals twards the end yesterday I grant you but I can't help thinking that sometimes in the past it's when we haven't done that we've come a cropper.

They were good chances, and the ultimate placement of the shots doesn't matter. He could have scored, and those chances come about from easing off because we think the game is in the bag. If you want to be at the very top and stay there, that complacency can't ever be there.

Yes I'm being critical of a victory, I know.

As a random point Kelechi Inheanacho looked very poor...some on here were in favour of us signing him from Man City...I think it seems clear he is a player that will not make it in the PL.

You think he'd look as poor under Poch?

Myself believe that we have been coasting in matches and doing just enough to win without knackering ourselves and I think its a good sign because it means we have another gear if needed and the stall at arsenal was because it was the third of three big big matches in seven days and we were running on empty

He definitely was offside but it was very tight and not something that would be easily picked up so you give him the benefit of the doubt.
Not so sure he was. Defender on the right's foot was keeping him on I think. Either way too close to argue with.

Thought they missed one on Sonny in the first half as it looked like he was even when pass was made.

He wasn't offside and I'm completely fed up of this modern football nonsense of if your boot laces are 1mm offside then you're offside - it's bullshit.

To be honest, it seemed an oddly comfortable win. Leicester never came at us all guns blazing as I expected. The perfect match pre-Barcalona. I wasn't at all stressed watching it, like I normally am. We didn't ever seem to need to get out of second gear.

Loved Sonny and Dele going over to the fans asking for their shirts and duly obliging. Absolutely class.

And Sissy as well, bless him.
Not so long ago it would've been thrown back in his face.
