We had a poor game. We are discussing that.

Regardless to our mediocre performance - I'll take the win against this tricky side

Playing Leicester lately is by no means an easy task

The honeymoon period is over.

Playing poor and winning. Whats that a sign of?

Leicester were up for it today but we played poorly and won away from home. Another clean sheet, another goal for Rashford and another assist from Pogba.

I’ll take that.

We need reinforcements in the summer though. We don’t have a lot off the bench to really change things (Martial aside, who ordinarily starts the game).

Can not be expected to be perfect all the time - these type of games need to be grinded out to get the win - good sign

They've beaten city and chelsea, drawn to pool

Our unbeaten record against Leicester since the days of LVG's 3-5 hammering continues

I don’t think there’s been much complaining.

People have made some fair observations about poor stamina and a few poor individual performances.

Hardly worth an article trying to make people feel like they can’t say anything bad just because things are generally going well.

That said, I agree the signs are promising. I reckon there will be a lot going on in the summer.

Wasn’t great but then it isn’t going to be every single game, we had the two best chances and took one of them and although Leicester can be tricky, I didn’t think we’d lose tbh.

We’ve given ourselves a great opportunity of breaking into the CL places, still in the FA Cup with a mouth watering CL tie to come.

It wasn’t pretty but we’re moving in the right direction

Stamina is issue number one, pretty much all of the players can’t hold their technique after 65/70mins and it’s causing issues in tight games

I saw a lot of complaining the past couple of PL games!

Arsenal made Man City overtake us on shots on target.

I missed the game today. Heard it was hard work but we got the win in the end.

We have a new manager in place who has won 9 out of 10 games. Leicester away is never an easy game as City saw recently. Some fans are never happy, it’s ridiculous the expectations some have. Plenty of top sides win while not playing well, even this week both Barca and Juve were held to draws at home.

Be delighted that without playing that well we still win away at a tricky ground and kept a clean sheet.

Why do people have a issue with fans being unhappy after a win? Winning agame doesn’t mean people can’t moan at the multiple things that were wrong? Yes everyone is happy we won but there’s clearly issues in the team still that needing sorting

Greg,

Give your a shake fella! It’s about todays performance not who’s done what against whoever!

We werent great today. But then, I don't think we've produced a really good 90 mins since the turn of the year. I think the key difference to under Jose is that when we're under pressure now, we still leave players forward and offer the threat of a counter attack. That in itself relieves the pressure on the defence and helps to avoid repeats of last season at Leicester, where we played really well but sat too deep late on.

Still not overly convinced by how we're playing but a win at Leicester is no doubt a good result and keeps us right in the hunt for a CL spot, something that was unimaginable 6 or 7 weeks ago

People complaining about today is actually part and parcel of expectations being raised again tbh... Good win but a dip in performance

Being a moan is part and parcel of being a football fan really

People used to preach and act holier than tho when other people moaned under Jose... Last few weeks have shown those moans were justified

A lot of the moaning about today is justified too... Sanchez was pathetic, lukakus cameo was poor... Passing was off etc... Don't think anyone is in panic mode or screaming too loudly tho

Spot on Shugs.

Ole is doing a good job with what he has, but the tactics and the personnel deployed to play them have been questionable sometimes.

Let's hope these things get tweaked in time, great result though.

Just felt the performance wasnt there after 15 minutes. Felt like watching the team under Jose apart from a couple of decent moments

What do people think were wrong with the tactics and/or personnel today?

If Dalot isn't good enough to play now ahead of a desperately poor Young he won't be good enough in 6 months time.

He had to play Sanchez on the LW as Martial is coming back from an injury. Little Ole could do about that or Sanchez's performance.

Lukaku doesn't warrant his place in the squad at present. That is 3 games now where he has come off the bench when we're under the cosh and put in no effort.

Bulk of our problems seem to be the horrendous fitness the squad has. Clearly affecting their technical ability from the 60 min mark on now in every match. Again not Ole's doing.

So nothing then?

I think if we hit 73 points we should scrape 4th.
