Some more stuff from Leicester forum. "Amazes me some of the comments I’ve seen from our fans towards Newcastle and their players. Their 10 times the team we are at the moment, even before considering ability they have shown a minimum of more fight and desire than ours did so why so many are so quick with such belittling comments is bemusing. We were outplayed by a very good side to day who have picked up some good results this season, what is unacceptable was that we couldn’t even muster enough of a fight for them to shift out of first gear. Embarrassing from us today." and "Yep. I've also seen some people on here questioning if Howe can keep the job, or that it's 'too big a job' for him. He's done magnificently and has created a team very much the antithesis of us at the moment. Yes, he's had backing but the way he's improved players like Joelinton and Almiron is admirable. We, on the other hand, raised the white flag after the first ten minutes. Unacceptable. "

Arsenal looked pretty confident today but I agree, Newcastle seem capable of anything at this point in time.

He and Botman both were brilliant. Isak never plays so who knows long term.

In the USA broadcast the pre-game discussion was around taking time to get the new pieces integrated but a bad January and he could be out.

Eddie buried that.

Ummmmmmm.................the chants might be a bit different.

As others pointed out in the game thread, wasn't a simple chance on his weaker foot but really just barely missed it. Yes, he could have done better but again, he just missed it.

"Lost to a team whose manager gets the best out of average players and who the players want to give 100% for. It makes a difference at this level."

What game!

Anderson sighting.

A wee bit of quality leading by 2 at 8 minutes.

Both Vardy and Pope brilliant there.

Miggy taking a victory lap at 84 minutes....

Just what the doctor ordered.

Terrible clearance there.

Also Maxi.

About time for fresh legs.

It's the season of giving.

Yikes.

Wood hasn't been half bad today.

That reminds me, Schar forgot to get a head injury in the first half.

Sven launches it into space.

I didn't post it but an away game against a team that was in form I thought a draw would be great but fucking hell, how much better is this?

To be fair, there isn't a soul on earth that thought Eddie's Mags would smash their face in to this degree.

"They came in with festive optimism, and were given a dose of Geordie reality" - I'm paraphrasing what the commentator said.
