Match Reaction vs Leicester (home).

[Ernesto]

Mate i am one of the biggest pessimists on this board, but for once just enjoy the result and the way it happened.

Long way to go, players coming back, can't play any worse than we did a few games ago, so lets be positive for the run in.

It's not entirely pessimism on my part, nor is it an anti-Arssnal agenda (I've been very critical about how we've played the last few weeks)

Bearing that in mind, surely we ought to have started the game stronger? We didn't have a shot on target until the 70th minute. There weren't really many "oohs" or "ahhs" before that either. We have Barcelona in a week and a half and Manchester United thereafter. Surely we can't play as we did today, can we?

I appreciate that we should enjoy the moment and revel in it, but I'm just trying to be consistent in my criticism (in the wake of victory as well as defeat)

Glancing at the stats .... 24 shots and 72% possession and yet we only just managed to crawl over the line. It was so nearly Southampton all over again and had Welbz not popped up at the death we'd all be feeling as bad as we were that night ...... just shows you the fine margins involved in this game.

We've got to get more efficient and productive at scoring goals otherwise we're not going to do it. Dropping Giroud (how many games now without a goal) for Theo and praying that Alexis & Rambo recapture their scoring touch is probably our best hope at this stage.

Only about 3/4 were on target though!

Brilliant Movie script finish there, but really our football can cause you heartburn. We are not really geared up to score goals. Not when our strikers are so wasteful up front. Boy that was hard work.
i hope somebody at the Sky HQ doesnt top themselves off tonight. Misery all round there no doubt.

I know it was comical, imagine this place if we'd not won!

I'm hoping now that the manner of this victory will spur the team on, Ozil and Sanchez in particular are still not playing at a high level, when they do, this team will go up another gear. Our title challenge hinges on those two really because if they start turning it on then we'll go on a winning run, I'm sure of that.

As long as we keep the squad fit we've got a good chance, still got Santi and Jack to come back too, things are starting to look good.

Probably won't make it into the Vardy movie though.

Everyone at sky were gutted bless 'em! That includes "smudger" who barely said a word after our equaliser and henry who sounded close to tears at Leicester's loss.
