Match Day Thread Vs Leicester (away)

MITO can edit this when he's ready...

 

Not sure if this game next suits us tbh. Would have preferred another team that likes to play football.

Leicester play exactly how we don't like it; defend narrow, in numbers and like to counter attack.

 

Well its up to them to sort it, it has to get sorted. We'll be in for long seasons if we can only beat teams in the top 6

 

I think the outcome of today's Swansea/Leicester match may play apart. If they get a win or at least avoid a defeat they will be more confident at home and that could leave them to play a more open game. Ranieri and his team are not compact anymore and however they play they cannot really hold us and one early goal for us the floodgates may open.

 

Obviously but each season is different. Klopp will look to add creativity in the summer

 

Aye, will be no problem when our Luis comes home

He'll be back when he's hungry

 

And Neymadge finally makes that much anticipated step up from Barca to Liverpool.

 

Imagine if Suarez was in this side

 

Leicester needs the points plus will be at home so hopefully there will be space for us to exploit. We need to play a bit cautious imo to draw them out whilst ensuring the defence gets the cover it needs.

 

Bar Mourinho, is there a more negative manager than Raneiri?

Them being back in CL action might help too btw

 

Id look at it other way. Lose to Swansea and they'll be needing a win which might force them to push up bit more. Win against Swansea and could in theory play for a draw.

Defence dont look as solid solid as it did last year and withrojr Kante marshalling back 4, should be space for Cout and Firm to exploit.

 

yep
that bloke at Boro
Pulis ? (i hate that twat with a passion btw )

 

I see Ranieri prioritising the CL still. He is stubborn and will put out a strong team to win, even if their premiership life is in the balance.

That has been Ranieri's problem at the start of the season. He won his CL matches and gave the impression that this was his priority. Even then we all could see that his premiership matches were suffering but he didn't give a damn. He thought that once the CL matches were over, he'll just take off in the Prem and win their matches. It doesn't work like that and Leicester are an extreme example of how the CL can affect the league form ,.

 

I think his biggest problem is 95%+ of his squads careers peaked lay season. Majority if not all of them know they'll never better last seasons title win. They don't seem to be giving the same effort levels as a result.

 

If they win the CL and get relegated they can easily win the Championship with a reserve side and focus all their effort into retaining the CL

 

Our side or theirs?



I think a pacey Mané on each wing, a Creative superstar like Suarez, and you've got an unstoppable forward line.

 

I second Pulis.

 

No game is easy in the premiership, we have advantage of not playing in any other competition.

 

Would be just our luck if Leicester finally decide this is getting serious.

 

Leicester are utterly ****e.....so that'll be a loss then
