Leicester City (H) - Pre-Match Thread

[Tricky_Trev]

Starting from the 2 games in 2 days coming up they have the season stitched up nicely

Also, I’ve only checked up to gameweek 20, but out of those 20 weeks, Liverpool played (or will play) before City in 11 weeks, City in 6 weeks, with the other weeks seeing us kicking off at the same time. 11 times versus 6.

That to me is a sure sign that the organisers don’t want Liverpool feeling under pressure. For example if we were 9 points behind, we could go 6 behind before they play and it’s pressure on. Instead, they keep giving Liverpool as many opportunities as possible to extend the lead first.

No chance they will with oliver as the ref!

I truly hate that bastard. A pox on his crooked house.

All the same, I fancy us for the Leicester win more than the Wolves game, who funnily enough, also have less than 48 hours to recover and play Liverpool at Anfield.

Anyone would think these fixtures are being worked out...I see they have move our game at Leicester to a 5.30pm kick-off.

Shocked I am, shocked...

Oliver's record for Liverpool is pretty amazingly bad for them away from Anfield.

35% win rate? He's just a blindly home-biased referee IMO. In 102 matches for the big 6, there's only been 14 home losses, and 9 of them are Arsenal and United since they've been shit.

Don't get me started on our twice the miles over the dec 25 th run and at the top with wolves i think having the least rest

Oliver is not involved in Wolves/Liverpool

Anthony Taylor as ref, Simon Hooper VAR.

haha i get your point, but the way Wolves, Newcastle & United set up against us, that's exactly what Leicester will imitate. It's down to us now, are we learning to cope with teams that sit deep and pounce quickly.

 

[domalino]

This is the side I would pick, but Pep obviously won't.

Sterling Jesus Foden
---------De Bruyne
....Zinchenko Rodri
Mendy Fern Otamendi Walker
..........Ederson

Zinchenko is IMO the perfect person to play next to Rodri in this 4231 we seem to be going with, he does it for Ukraine and is brilliant, he will work incredibly hard, he will get up and down the pitch.

Pep's not daft either mate, he will set us up to win, yes we have been beaten well this season but we are still the team to beat, injuries, a dip in form and VAR have skewed things against us but we will come again starting Saturday .......
