Four wins on the bounce at home to a side who haven't scored away in 9 months? Your run of 6 games didn't include a game against a side as good as us. I'd say we'd be considered favourites.

[HK85]

Two good decisions from the ref. 

[Dave]

What a man Martin Atkinson is.

[LFCMike]

Referees got both decisions right there - the disallowed goal and the yellow for the dive by Ndidi

[RandoEFC+]

The balls on Twatkinson  spot on though.

[HK85]

That's a pen on Benteke. 

[...Dan]

How's that not a penalty? 

[Toony]

3-0 Palace.

This thread could get interesting later, thoroughly deserved it. Leicester been very poor, Palace excellent though, they wont go down.

[Honey Honey]

Hodgson for England!

[Dave]

Enjoy that humble pie, Daniel. Served courtesy of Roy Hodgson.

[Honey Honey]

Disappointed Gayle has been dropped  he scored at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge, why drop him for Arsenal?

Rest of the team is fair enough. Lots of direct pace on the wings with Murphy and Atsu.

[Chaaay AFC]

What a fucking hit by Özil. 1-0.

[Cicero]

This game is screaming for Fabregas 

[Cicero]

Take Willian off for Morata. The former back to his brilliant best in missing open attempts. 

[Inverted]

Alonso is shit though isn't he 

[Cicero]

Alonso FK puts us 1-0 up before the half

Please tell me you are joking 

[carefreeluke]

Probably the best free kick taker in the league.

[Honey Honey]

Defensively we look awful. Thankfully Arsenal went into cruise control after they scored. I don't rate Lejuene. Hayden so late into every tackle again. Perez and Joselu cannot break.

Our only hope is Atsu winning a corner so Lascelles can come up 

 

[Dan+]

Don't regret a single word I said to be honest. We went into it as favourites and I don't see any way we wouldn't have looking at our form and their away form. If that's deemed arrogance now then so be it.

What actually panned out however was a total embarrassment and nothing short of humiliating. I can't name a single good thing about that performance. We were a disgrace, nothing short of it. The whole team was awful.

Palace fully worthy of their win. Defensively excellent and didn't allow us to create a single meaningful chance in 90 minutes. They could've had more as well. Do think the ref lost a bit of control of things later on but everyone who has seen the two big decisions have said they were both the right call. Iborra's I didn't see any issue with at the time, Ndidi's I thought was a dive and a completely idiotic thing to do when on a yellow, and while I say "two big decisions" I think there are three because I thought their shout looked a penalty.

It's the most typical old school Leicester thing I've known to win four on the bounce, two at home to sides in the top six and two away games where we scored seven in the process, while going to play a side who hadn't scored away from home in 9 months and lose the game resoundingly. It's so frustrating.

Disgraceful but a fully deserved result.

[Cicero]

Getting so sick of this false 9 bollocks. 

[Cicero]

Stupid. Southampton had no divine right to throw it back to us
