The game was in a way a tribute to Vichai who died a year ago this month, and of course the honoring of the chairman before and after the match gives you a view on how passionate Leicester City are about him. Brendan Rodgers probably also wanted to get of with a blistering start with…

Liverpool 2, Leicester 1, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
Brendan Rodgers came to Anfield with a positive mind, but again might have been a bit naiv in his approach with his team selection, keeping players such as Hamza Choudhury and Marc Albrighton on the bench, in favor of Dennis Praet and Harvey Barnes, who are slightly more aggressive and offensive in their playing style….
Leicester 5, Newcastle 0, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
James Maddison missed the game, not being ready after that ankle knock v. Spurs, but this ment that Dennis Praet would get his debut from start in front of a packed King Power Stadium. A wet and rainy day, but it all became “sunny” for those supporting the blue of Leicester. As expected Leicester City…
Leicester 2, Tottenham 1, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
A couple of changes with Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez back in the starting line-up, Demarai Gray and Hamza Choudhury out and on the bench. Both reasonable changes as Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers wanted a more offensive approach. Despite Harry Kane scoring and seeing Tottenham Hotspur take the lead in the game after 29 minutes,…
Man Utd 1, Leicester 0, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
Brendan Rodgers made a surprise change in his line-up, letting Demarai Gray start this football game, without any previous starts this season, strange and “too smart” as Rodgers isolates the strengths of this player and see him being the “genius act”, and Gray was of course not. Gareth Southgate never gave James Maddison the chance…

The move that most fans might have missed, Leicester City man leaving ground!
Most of us are readers of the Leicester Mercury and for the last ten years we have been spoiled by good reports from Rob Tanner. Tanner has been like family really, and on my computer screen a lot, since looking at his posts has been a daily routine. To see him gone and moving on…
Leicester 3, Bournemouth 1, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
Brendan Rodgers fielded a more offensive first 11, which of course looked logic, seeing Leicester City the way we do at the moment. Harvey Barnes and Marc Albrighton were both in the team, Wilfred Ndidi and Ben Chilwell both started. Bournemouth at home is a must win any day of the week, another result would…
Newcastle 1(2), Leicester 1(4), positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
Brendan Rodgers means business with Leicester City this season, also in the Carabao Cup. Not as in previous years fielding the 2nd strings, maybe also to do with the opponent in this game. Newcastle is Premier League, so to play a strong side was vital. Leicester had the chances and possession in the first half,…
Sheffield United 1, Leicester 2, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
As favorites always nice to deliver and when Jamie Vardy started the “party” at only 38 minutes and that made it possible to finish first half with a lead, and away, that is just fantastic. A day without Ben Chilwell and Wilfred Ndidi in the starting line-up, makes it a nervous affair trying to slot…
