More embarrassing than conceding 7 with 11 men like we did recently?

Rogers has made Leicester a very good side. As bad as Soton have been ,Leicester have been really good.

They have Man City twice now so I guess we will see what they are made of.

Shushing the home fans on scoring the ninth goal. Vardy you classy fuck.

On the plus side I'm on the SCBC manager to be next out the door at 20/1.......reckon I'm in with a sniff

Southampton fan on BBC Feed saying tonight was the first time he'd brought his son to a game. Ouch.

A hell a lot of the work that went into this Leicester side is down to Claude Puel. He was so unlucky the way a few results went against him just before he got sacked, because he had Leicester back playing excellent football with good young/emerging players. He also had the turmoil of the chairman's death to deal with during his time. Rodgers really did inherit a good thing from him there.

Soyuncu is actually better than Maguire, what a deal that was for Leicester.

Yep, and they still have the crazy Maguire money to spend to strengthen further.

Annoys me how well they are doing as I’ve always disliked them ever since the Robbie Savage and Heskey days, which was obviously compounded during their title season.

Have to hand it to them though. They sacked Ranieri when everyone was saying how outrageous it was and lost Mahrez and Kante, but have made an excellent choice in Rodgers and have scouted and recruited very well.

That team have thrown a few managers under the bus, so there's probably an expiry date.

I'd have 6 of this Leicester squad.

Get their chief scout in for a start.

Front to back they're a very good side. Very strong eleven, don't think they have much beyond that in depth... Grey and Albrighton are ok.

Barring a nightmare with injuries they could compete for third let alone top six.

We best get our act together and quick.
