... was the best player on the pitch by some way yesterday - he's often looked the most talented but not always the best - he hasn't only added passing to his game, he's added great passing to his game - Vardy, Gray and Drinkwater impressed me, but no one had half as much impact or influence as Wilf - he must be scaring the sh*t out of teams - Liverpool aren't all that atm - we can beat them and then have a timely dip v the spuds.

I thought Huth was excellent for them. Did what Sakho did for us, without that we'd have thumped them. Eventually Zaha, Townsend, Cabaye and Benteke prised them apart sufficiently to get on level terms but we needed a bunch of excellent performances to break them down.

I thought Zaha had a relatively quiet game yesterday.

Our first select front 4 are now excellent.

I don't think this is entirely true. They are third for a reason and have a very strong attacking line up. Maybe Mane is out I believe, but that shouldn't make us so flippant. Anfield will be a stern test. One challenge our boys will be up for.

I think they are the flakiest team we will play, but they are capable of putting on a show that could blow us off the park (something I suspect that Spurs and Citeh will do). However, if they are misfiring on the day - also a distinct possibility - they're there for the taking if we can use our strengths against them. Just like the Chelsea and Arsenal games, we'll need everyone at peak performance to win at Anfield.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

If it wasn't for Huth we would have run out as winners by 2/3 goals easily. Zaha was not even our best player let alone MoM.... Townsend just shaded it for me as our most effective player, but Huth's contribution nearly won Leicester the match.

They played a game where it was hard for Wilf to flourish. They quickly had men around him and never offered him easy space to hit. He was still a threat though (even if Townsend was better). If we can stay in the game at Anfield, we will have to tools to hurt them. For me, Delaney would be a massive weak link...if he plays.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

He seemed to be slipping all over the place but then again so did several players on both sides

Wilf... Every match we play I find myself frustratedly crying out words to the effect of: "Give it to Wilf!". Time and again I see our distributors turning away from him.. Every other player in our team should have one thing and one thing only on their minds - get it to Zaha. Give him the ball, saturate him with the bl**dy thing. Simple.
