Leicester City (H) - Sat 15th April, 17:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Gray]

9 league matches to play with 5 at home, no slip-ups keep the momentum and play our very best eleven.

Had Vangelis ringing in my ears reading that.

Started playing it on my desk speaker!

How much does it cost to kit him out with monogrammed attire?

They beat Villa (a) 4-2 on the 4th February followed by a 4-1 win aagainst Spurs (h) on the 11th February.

Goals scored since are 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0 which was 8 loses and a draw not a win in sight.

Go strong and then make changes.

I said in the Leicester thread that this side has more than enough quality to be mid-table. I don't want us to be fooled into thinking they are a 19th placed side in regards to quality.

Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Soyuncu, Tielemans, Ndidi to name a few are all solid Premier League footballers, some would argue one or two of them are top 4/6 level.

This is one of those games that after being so emotionally drained after the Bayern game, we could get caught out.

It is last chance saloon for Leicester for me because if Leeds and Everton win this weekend, Leicester are 5 points behind 17th/safety. They have to go into this game like a cup final, do or die mentality.

Have Leicester returned some tickets?
Just got text from City saying new tickets released

I caught the last question in his conference (I’m old,I fell asleep so sue me!)
Q. Are you looking to sign Jude Bellingham?
A. How many years have you been coming to my press conferences? You know me. Prepare your questions. Move on, move on. Move on.
*EB falls off chair laughing*

He has no time for the media does he, lol

I switched on just before he was asked and he looked bored anyway! Just have to love him, he knows they hate us and treats them accordingly but sometimes he is a bit subtle for the stupid fools. :-)

If we lose tomorrow, we won’t be #PL champions..

It’s really that simple. Everything that’s gone well in the last month will count for nothing if we can’t beat Leicester tomorrow.

And then Arsenal. And then Fulham etc.


The pressure must be crazy, but the simplicity of it must focus the players.
