Who knows? Tielemans isn't an unknown quality by any means. Maybe one to revisit in the summer IF we want to spend any money.

Do a Toby on him and nab him after he's proved himself? I think it's smart. And just look at Winks today. In my opinion he was our best outfield player.

You got to give it to Poch. He shows some faith in our young players. Again today starting Skipp and bringing on KWP when Leicester were looking an equaliser.

We're lucky that Leicester couldnt finish their chances and we finished ours?

Gonna have to explain that one to me...
Finishing ours is skill. But we were certainly lucky on some of the oppourtunities they missed. The performance for me was very similar to the Wolves game, and we could easily have won that but lost today.

Wow, we were poor 2nd half. Not much better in the 1st either. Even though Eriksen/ Sissoko/ Winks play ok in patches, our midfield is not elite and is not good enough. There was times Leicester were popping it around us like they were Barcelona. They easily should've scored 3 or 4.

If we win the league playing like this it would be ridiculous. Need some more champagne football. Away to city, pool and chavs looks far too tough right mow with the chances were conceding

Let's add Kane and Dele to this team and see if teams can press us like they are now. We are getting results when we are playing a forward with limited mobility that teams only have to respect in a 10 yard circle around the penalty spot. We had an 18 year old playing in midfield that, while putting in a shift, offers very little in the attacking 3rd. Teams are bombing forward on the outside and taking their chances that they can deal with Son and Eriksen on the counter because Llorente is too slow to get involved. All of this affects our defense. I agree that our defense is not playing great but they are being put under a lot more pressure than they normally are. These may be good lessons when come up against City and 'Pool. It takes pressure to make diamonds!

Out of all the games we’ve won despite not playing well, this is really the one where opposition fans can legitimately say we’ve got away with it.

Outplayed and at times passed around, but some good keeping and woeful finishing kept us in it. And we were clinical when it mattered.

Make no mistake though, play like this on Wednesday and we’ll get spanked.

This is all true but if we'd lost all the games we didn't deserve to win and won all the games we didn't deserve to lose this season... I reckon we'd be right where we are. So it all evens out in the end.

If manure can stuff liverpool, and we beat burnley then we've got another battle of the bridge on our hands again. I hope they respond better this time around. Its a crucial crunch game now. We could be a couple of points behind pool going into that match.

In my opinion Leicester is the best team we've played at Wembley this season. They were extremely wasteful with their chances, but in everything else they had our number.
Definitely the hardest remaining game outside the top 6.

Still to play;
Burnley (a)
Palace (h)
Brighton (h)
Huddersfield (h)
Bournemouth (a)
Southampton (a)
West Ham (h)
Everton (h)

Be as ruthless as we've been and we should be able to accumulate maximum points.

To be honest I think he massively got away with it today. Thought he watched us performing poorly without changing anything for way to long.

It was like the reverse of the United game for us, on another day we could have lost that 3 or 4-1.

Ref was absolutely shocking today! Clear pen for us on Son would put us in nice position from start. Glad we beat these Orcs!! COYS

Thoroughly undeserved, that. Picking up all 3 points out of that was ballsy. Probably deserved to lose, would have taken a draw. Absolutely massive 3 points. This stretch hasnt been for the faint of heart but without Kane, Dele and Son for a bit, we’ve done remarkably well to keep winning. Sure we’ve been knocked out of a few cups but we’ve shown some intestinal fortitude in the league.

Oh and Michael Oliver, eat your heart out. Dont think we’ll be seeing you in the Prem again for a bit after that digraceful showing
