A good 3 points played ok in the first half, nothing to get over excited about, we beat a good championship side with a 42 year old keeper, we will need to step up against better opposition, Herrera should be starting, the sooner lvg goes the better, can't see us getting top 4, call it a moan or a groan but we are still a long way off been the top side in england

Yawn yawn yawn, I was sat at the game today happy with the result wondering how people would put a negative spin on an easy home win, you managed it, well done.

An easy home win against the worst side in the league, what would you give the team out of ten for that, Rooney around the middle where he shouldn't be, after we play for 1 hour we look jaded, what's going on in the training ground I'd love to know, players getting injured and look tired after playing for an hour, what did you think of the 3 goals we got, a good 3 points is the only positive from that game

'A good 3 points is all we can take from that game', brilliant, I think that's what you need to get when you play against the lower teams, obviously you are looking for more.

We have rarely over the last few years hammered these teams but today after we scored there was no chance we weren't winning that game. We had total control. Not a perfect performance in the 2nd half but the play in the first half more than made up for that, I would have liked to see us go for 5 or 6 but we got bitten earlier in the season against leicester and I'm sure that was in the back of the players minds today.

Some people can't help themselves. Only 5 points off 2nd playing as we are. We shouldn't really complain, when things do start to click we could be flying high. Bring on cambridge now and let's have a good go at winning the fa cup!

For god sake. We won. We had 14 shots. We could have scored another 3 goals. Leicester had one shot and scored from it.
Lets be happy and enough gloom.

GDS, You are one of my buddies on here but the OP is pretty fair comment albeit a bit dramatic. We were playing the bottom team, we beat them but I agree we will need to step it up against better opposition. A good 3 points, back to winning ways but still some questions to be answered. Let's hope we can build on this.

So what if we were playing the bottom team? The fact that they are bottom does not mean they are complete crap. Bottom teams can beat 'top' teams to, as we have seen over and over in the EPL. I am all for constructive criticism, but jeeez man, we complain about everything.

We won Tony that's all that matters atm, I think gds frustration is born out of the last 3 weeks, it's ok people having a whinge but I do agree with him that recently it seems people just want to be noticed or attract attention to themselves and simply post for effect.

This page is split atm between a lot of ppl, your either were only a few points in top 4 or your were only a few points behind city.
myself like u and gds am in the camp of let's see how things unfold before making rash judgment calls.

Today we beat Leicester, nothing special granted but it was a game where nothing really was to be won from it. We win and everyone thinks we should anyway, we lose and all the negs are out in full flow.

My view on the game is this, we won. Job done, now move on to the next and try and gain some momentum we have lost recently.

They already beat us this season, we are one of the top teams in Europe, all credit to the bottom teams but we shouldn't be worrying about playing them, the money we spent compared to them, I love to see the bottom teams having a go and the top teams great to watch, our players in my opinion are not been managed properly, every one is entitled to their opinion it would be boring if we all agreed.

AJH,

I agree with all of that, it wasn't perfect of course it wasn't, I was hoping we would come out 2nd half and get 5 or 6 but it didn't happen unfortunately. I wasn't slagging the OP off, I was disagreeing, some people would have come on here even if we had won 7-0 and said 'well it was only leicester'.

People wanted 4 at the back.

People wanted blind in midfield with Carrick out injured.

People wanted di Maria centre mid.

People wanted januzaj to get game time.

People wanted falcao to start.

People wanted more forward passing.

People still ain't happy.

People saying were still 3rd, wait till we click etc. how do you know we haven't clicked? Because I can't see any signs that we are or getting better! All we seem to do is struggle for a few games then beat a couple of lower teams, then repeat!

Anotherwiganred,

We have lost 1 in 15, winning 10 of them games and people will accept that we haven't been playing at our best. Results are the important thing and what lvg will be judged on. Last season we got 2 points out of 9 from games 24, 25 and 26 so after the next 3 games I imagine we will see the end of the lvg v moyes comparison as it won't suit the argument anymore. We didn't have 43 points last year until game 27. I know people like to compare the 2.

I can't understand some people. We win comfortably, play well, and it is not good enough.

I can see an argument for both sides and some valid points for everyone. Next weekend is quite an important weekend with Liverpool away at Everton and Arsenal away at Spurs and us playing away at West Ham.

It will create some separation would we win and I want to stress again we have to have a big February and March as we have a brutal schedule come april May with April looking very tough with a stretch that involves, city at home followed by Chelsea away and Everton away. We also have Arsenal in there can't remember the date. Our last 7 games are very tough fixtures and we need to have some gap in points as we can easily lose 3 on the drop given those fixtures.

Personally i just want to see points on the board and hopefully we gel along the way. It is not vintage football by any measure but the points will help allay the worries :)

Our players are exhausted despite having all the possession. Our possession is worth nothing if we don't work the opponents in advanced positions, we are more tired than them - the tactics are wrong and our training is wrong.

As Mr E says LVG did everything most of us wanted him to do fair play - but the performance and chances created was poor on the whole despite this, it doesn't make sense. There is something wrong with the mentality or the instructions. We had the most attacking players I have ever seen yet created jack yet again. No relationships on the field still, just a mess of very slow build up and no end product.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the win, but we usually have a good game then play our boring, slow, predictable football again nearly straight away! I agree that they played well in the first half and I would love it if we played like that all the time but it was one half against the worst team in the league. That is the minimum we should be expecting against teams like that, even before spending over 100 mill and signing two of arguably the best in the world in their positions. You can't simply say after one good performance that were back in the right direction.

GDS

I think it hard to gauge our team in a game against leicester at home and formulate a view that we are jelling as the second half took the shine off the first half. I think what people want to see is going away to some tough places and winning key points against mid table opposition which up to now we have not been able to.

The next few weeks will be quite telling as draws do not bode well for us given our fixtures coming towards the end of the season. Having to win against the likes of chelsea, city, arsenal will not be say and most likely possible.

I forgot we also have to go to Anfield and they were by far the better team against chelsea at home in the league cup and in good form.

There is also Everton away in there and newcastle and crystal palace, which all can be banana skins. Maybe we are worrying too much and we kick on from here but let's start with west ham this week and see how play against the.
