Should we be more vocal with the ref?

Despite the fact that every other club and the media being under the impression that we are a team of clogging, snarling bullies who are the on field manifestation of our manager, I think we're actually quite the opposite.

I was quite surprised yesterday at the way Leicester players were constantly moaning and surrounding the ref, gesticulating and getting in his face at every opportunity. At least one free kick seemed to be given just because they were complaining so much and at one point there were three of their players surrounding the ref for a good couple of minutes yapping away at him.

I think most can agree that it was a very "professional" performance by Leicester - time wasting, a few niggly fouls, constantly surrounding the ref etc and doing all the things that if we had done them would have seen us absolutely slaughtered but do we need to perhaps start doing a few more of those things that everyone else thinks we do anyway?

It's rare to see any of our players talking to the ref or putting him under pressure - do we need to be a bit more "professional" or "streetwise" in the way we approach the upcoming games?
