      Phew - only saw the last third but happy with the reaction from the players. Good three points there.

      3 points. Good fighting spirit... And what was that about not scoring when the post was empty!

      Nervy last 15 but that couldn't have been a more contrasting performance to the Watford game. Gave Can a lot of stick for his performance in that game, but him and Henderson were excellent today, and I thought Lallana's pressing was superb.

      Benteke well taken goal, we'll ignore the last minute brainfart.

      Not the best performance by any stretch but that'll do.

      65% possession 24 attempts at goal and only four on target compared to their three from only six attempts.

      We need to sharpen up up front.

      YES!! That's how to win a game, glad we learnt from Watford that hard work pays off buy my god we have problems scoring goals, with the amount of possession we had we should have won 4 or 5-0 and Benteke needs to be 3rd choice striker at best, he just doesn't have that killer instinct which great strikers have.

      Henderson m.o.t.m. great game from Lovren too. Probably the best we have seen from Lallana for a while but he is just not creating or scoring enough.

      Although Benteke scored the winner, he won't be my man man of the match.

      To be honest, I figured Can was going to take the shot from the halfway line.

      Guarantee Suarez would have....and he'd have scored it. :D

      Considering they were top and people were condemning us to a loss before the game started (whoppers that is), I thought that was a pretty decent performance. We were easily the better team, our tactics clearly created more chances and openings but the deficiencies in quality was glaringly obvious.

      Lovren looked better on that side to me, apart from the chance they had with Kante I don't think he gave them a sniff, well played.

      Very frustrating set of players we have but up to 8th and only 5 points off the top 4, definitely possible, big 3 points that today, well in lads.
      Frankly, Mr Shankly

      Lacking a bit of confidence and clarity of mind there is Benteke it seems.

      Still, very grateful for his winning goal today and the excellent effort by defence and goalkeeper today to keep a clean sheet against Mahrez, Vardy and co. As good a response to last weeks dismal performance as any of us could have hoped.

      Very good performance from what I heard on 5 Live (no debate from the commentators as to how this played out).

      John Hartson said 1-0 flattered Leicester. In the context of the current season, I'll take that any day. Well played guys. And well played to the supporters in the stadium. Sounded like an excellent atmosphere. Smiles all round!!

      Alonso's the boy for those kind of chances. Still remember Gerrard turning to bollock Alonso... until he noticed the ball was in the net against Luton.

      Forgot to mention Lovren, thought he was almost faultless today in the air and on the ground. One skewed clearance up in the air after a bit of confusion between him and Mignolet but otherwise a great performance.

      At times we made Leicester look like ummmmmm the Leicester we have been used too all these years.

      Couldn't believe Ranieri took off Vardy and Mahrez, we had to have got a physiological boost there but we so nearly blew it.


      F**k it, we won, they didnt ....Get the F**k in....a much needed win.

      Massive credit to the whole team's defending performance for stopping Leicester scoring for the first time this season... Well done, back to front we defended well today. I do think a lot of it was down to some excellent midfield and forward pressing from Henderson, Can, Lallana and even Firmino.

      We won, what's not to like! They are top, not many gave us a chance. We should have won by more thn 1, we need to put away our easy chances.
