I make them favourites. We've been playing even worse than them recently. We are extremely easy to play against us so if teams employ a certain system it gives them an a
edge.I wouldn't back us against many teams at the moment. We are incapable of playing with any intensity against packed defences so if they defend deep and try and score on the counter they will probably win as I don't see us keeping a clean sheet. The manager has destroyed this team by refusing to utilise youth (even to the point of dropping Sterling unnecessarily) and running the senior players into the ground.

Yes it's negative but I don't see many reasons for positivity at the moment.

We'll probably end up with around the same number of points as Leicester have at the moment.

genuine question. How do you know for sure Sterling was dropped unnecessarily?
 
We must beat the dirty horrible red bastards tomorrow. Their season will be well and truly over if we do them, and that will make me a very happy man indeed.
Come on you blue boys, do it, and them tomorrow.
The city is ours !

Bollocks. Ranieri for a start doesn't treat the press (or his own fans some could argue) with utter disdain

Good point, I was just trying to draw attention (possibly rather clumsily) to the fact people talk about him being dignified as though it somehow absolves him from criticism for being our worst manager for years. I'd much rather he was a bit of a prick if it meant he had the first idea of tactics and how to get the best out of the squad.

The manager comes out before the Liverpool game in the league saying he has 100 % faith in Sterling and he will start. Then after a first half when he was no worse than anyone else he subs him. Since then he has been sub in every game. So what happened to him having complete faith in him? Surely it's just going to confuse the hell out of the player and destroy his confidence?

We had one of those, some Italian fella, and to be honest I'd quite like another.

There could be 101 reasons why he hasn't been playing recently
