Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread
The defense was hugely improved against Everton. The first goal was not a cheap one and the 2nd one was a nice attack by Everton. Everton did nothing the rest of the game. No creation, no chances.
I'm not underestimating other teams. I'm posting some facts. It's amazing to see the same statements from August.
-"They don't have depth in the roster" -> Dyer, Inler, Schlupp, King are top class players.
-"Their defense is bad" -> Team is not bad in defense in general. It's bad in defending set pieces. If the team was inadequate in defense the 65% possession stats by the opponents would have instantly translate to big defeats.
@Perceptor, I guess we see the whole EPL from a different view. How is it possible to say that Everton could have easily equalize when the did absolutely nothing after their 2nd goal? The only goal chance after the 2-3 was Leicester's with Ulloa.
I'm eagerly waiting for the match without Vardy. It's not far, just a yellow card away. Most probably in that match the midfield will be even more active outside the box where Leicester has another secret weapon: The outside power shooting of Drinkwater, King, Dyer and Mahrez. As it is it's a win-win situation. Big team confidence, top class roster, good tactics, perfect locker room atmosphere. I don't see that ending soon.Comment

They pushed back at the end of the game and we can agree to disagree. I'm not slagging off your team. I just think you'll need to give other teams their due. Again I would love to see teams like Leicester break the mould of top 4 and I believe you have the talent and resources to do so. I just feel sometimes your comments seem a little disparaging about other teams. And say what you want about your defense being better but you've conceded a lot of goals. That's fact too. Anyhow best of luck over Christmas. I do love watching Leicester as a neutral although I hope we hammer you again when our teams meet againComment

As I have posted already Arsenal is the only team I consider better than Leicester this season and maybe ManCity.
Some weeks ago Liverpool fellow members were laughing at me here when I said Crystal Palace and Watford are better teams than Liverpool. Some people need to understand that this is a team sport. All these "mid-table"/"low rated" teams have now some clever managers. Ranieri also has drastically improved his tactical approach and he's not stuck in the past.
Football is not about dominating possession nowadays. You need 3 elements:
1) Direct passing
2) Running/Movement
3) Counter attacking in numbers
Just tell me which top rated EPL team does all 3 efficiently. Only Arsenal.Comment

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread
It's funny because he's actually been solid in the matches he's played. But then again I've thought Mignolet gets a bad rap and there really is no reason the keeper with one of the top clean sheet records in calendar year 2015 should be benched.Comment
