Gokhan Inler Signs from Napoli.

Just what we wanted to forget Cambiasso.

Be nice to get a decent RB before the window closes or on loan.

Looking better and better for us.

BTW...why do you support Leicester from France?

I was born and bred a fox (in Leicester).

Not worldbeaters today but the point puts us top for the evening.

Mahrez is starting to look like a wonderful player for you lot. Caused many problems down that flank.

Disappointed not to win given that we did have the lead for all of 90 seconds, but it was a good fight.

I thought you dominated play but most of the good chances were ours.

Mahrez should have been given a penalty, he also beat Lloris all ends up when the ball hit the post and he hit the post another time. Morgan's header fortunately went straight at the keeper.

We didn't boss the midfield today and Albrighton was a little below par but we had the better chances.

I wonder if Mahrez apologized for skinning Davies alive all match. Yeesh total domination.

poor first half for us yesterday but we dominated in the 2nd. Draw is probably fair but we could easily have won.

Bournemouth were a decent passing team with speed. They should stay up.

Major ins: Christian Fuchs, Robert Huth, Shinji Okazaki, N'Golo Kante, Yohan Benalouane, Gokhan Inler, Nathan Dyer
Major outs: Esteban Cambiasso, Paul Konchesky, David Nugent, Ben Hamer, Chris Wood, Liam Moore

I think that's a pretty good trading session for us.

Konch was a good servant to the club but he's just past PL level now, Esteban was what he was and I wonder if he really had another year in his legs for the pressing game we want to play, Nugent is a shame and I'm sorry he's gone but we have upgraded with Shiniji. Hamer and Wood needed to leave, Wood will score at championship level and Hamer needs to get game time - same for Liam Moore.

Coming in Huth,Okazaki and Kanté have already shown that they are incredible. Inler and Fuchs will surely show their international credentials and upgrade us once they have found their Prem feet. Benny has been a bit hit and miss so far but it takes time to adjust to the speed of the Prem. Dyer is exactly the type of player we needed on deadline day. With Albrighton and Mahrez terrorizing defenses for 60 mins which defender would look forward to then having Dyer come on as sub for the last 20 to 30 mins?

Great transfers. Looking forward to the season.

What a comeback. Top drawer by the Foxes.

It was a great second half for us.

What I like about CR is that he identifies the problem and then makes the right moves. The 3 substitutions were absolutely brilliant.

Kanté is outstanding and changed the game completely. Dyer already looks ideal for us and what a brave header at the end and Ulloa did what we needed.

Vardy wasn't noticeable in the first half but he tore the Villa defence to pieces in the second and Mahrez must be the best player to watch in the league at the moment.

Did you see when he put the 3 villa players on their asses at the same time?

Who are the only unbeaten team in the Prem?

Another poor first half and another great second half.

HIF · Post #95 » by **HIF** » Sun Sep 27, 2015 1:00 pm

You can't win them all!

It looks a hefty loss but we could have been 3-0 up in 15 minutes. Their second should have been stopped for the foul on Okazaki and we should have had a penalty.

The first half was a great match to watch. The second Arsenal passed the ball so well and played like a champion's league team.

They deserved the win.

What a season for us so far.

Definitely a great achievement so far. Vardy and Mahrez look to be one of the best tandems in the PL. Hope you can build on it, always had a soft spot for the Foxes. You've got a tricky run coming up starting at the end of next month:

Man United (H)
Swansea (A)
Chelsea (H)
Everton (A)
Liverpool (A)
Man City (H)

Spurs away not long after that, too. We'll see how you're doing after all that, but I suspect you'll pick up some points against Swansea and Everton, certainly. I feel like Chelsea will have their **** together by then.

true but we've got more now than we could've hoped for.

3rd is surely the summit of our season but it's nice to be here.

3rd my ***, you're sitting on top of the freaking Premier League. You guys are playing in the Champions League at this point lol. Vardy scored again. 10 straight games. Insane.
