^ about as bad as those that were interviewed outside the ground before kick-off. One woman said Claudio Ranieri had taken City into the Premier League and a fella said he should have been given until the end of the season at least. For crying out loud.

CofE - I thought the fans were decent tonight. A lot livelier than they have been and got behind the team from the off. I don't know how it came across on the telly but I thought people put any grievances behind them during the match.

Very nice to see the old Drinky row Z shot finally hit the net. Good lad.
Also a big shout out tonight to all those people who have slagged of the Leicester players over the last few days. Thank you you have certainly helped motivate the players and create a siege mentality. Tactics did help of course.

Leicester and its players would have come out in a better light had they lost. This just shows that team simply chose not to play for the manager who masterminded the greatest achievement in the club's history. This is the man who showed those league-winning players true loyalty by keeping the same underperforming players in the team week in, week out - a decision that clearly lost him his job. Shame on you Leicester.

Someone else said that too but it sounded really quiet on the telly. At one point Simpson was taking a throw in down in the corner at 2-0 and it was literally deathly silent.

No it doesn't at all. I'm getting a bit fed up of people not seeing what the real difference was, the tactics. You obviously don't realise that Ranieri didn't want us to press high up the pitch, he wanted us to be more defensive and change our style. It didn't work.

Our biggest strength is our high energy, high intensity, counter attacking football and Ranieri tried to move us away from that. Shakey simply returned us to basics, the basics that won us the league.

Gary Neville annoyed me too because he didn't get it either but I expect better from him. It was plainly obvious to every Leicester fan.

Zzzzzzzzz

To anyone who has been watching Leicester week in week out, which you clearly haven't, it showed that Ranieri had lost his grip completely and his increasingly bizarre tactics were affecting player performances and confidence

Great man and our best ever manager but he built on the foundations put in place by people before him. He should have kept building on them rather than trying to turn us into Lazio - which we aren't
