    Leicester look like a different team, and Okazaki unlucky to have his header saved by Mignolet. I could do without the incessant jokes about ovations for Shakespeare though from the commentary.

    Caught a small piece and Okazaki was doing well.
    "Old team" working I guess

    These players definitely cut off Ranieri playing as shit and now that the problem is over they turn to play as they know.

    Happy for Okazaki that start this important match, sad for Ranieri that now will be scapegoated.

    Nope. Because they scored 3 in 1 match vs a serious opponent w/o a coach while they scored 1 in the last 8 match with Ranieri.

    I bet they will win the second leg in UCL too. Let's see.

    right. Pescara won 5-0 when Zeman came in and then proceeded to lose against Chievo as usual after.
    I'm not saying that the coaching change has no effect, if it happened it's because the board clearly believes so.
    But let's not exaggerate like they're gonna finish 10th now.

    I think the players want Ranieri out not the board. And this is ridicolous.

    Your thinking is not supported by any fact whatsoever and I don't know why you like to ride this fan fiction.
    The board is the one who sacked the coach.

    Read the Klopp interview.

    Anyway: another solid win 3 - 1.

    No idea what interview you're referring, Klopp said that it was a shock to see Ranieri dismessed "as much as Brexit and Trump"?
    And again, you can't possibly know if the team wasn't going back to win again. We can only say that the decision might be justified, certainly not that "the players were against him"

    Always nice to have last season's Leicester back (even if that means a diligent non-scoring subbed Okazaki).

    Seems like Okazaki didn't perform that bad. Hope that he start more regularly.

    Translation: "Okazaki's stats are insane. He outran his team's average by 0.7"

    He actually started all matches since Shakespeare took over.
