Mole_Toonfan Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So.... when are Leicester going to let up? Everyone is assuming they're going to slip up, but I currently don't know why they would. They have to be taken seriously as CL candidates at least. Christmas to February run is what usually fuck these teams over, people said the same about Southampton last year and they fell apart, it's just the way of things when you have a squad of largely unknowns who haven't experienced what it's like to be at the top before. Not to mention their manager has a history of choking when it really matters. Would be great but i'd be shocked if they are anywhere near the CL spots come May.

Cronky Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Leicester's run has lasted too long for it to be a fluke. They've got pace and energy and are able to play without any pressure. They also don't have the distraction of European football. It reminds me a bit of when Clough's Notts Forest ran away with the league, the season after getting promoted. Everyone assumed they were going to slip up at some stage, but they just carried on. I never thought I'd see the same thing again in the Premiership, because the bigger clubs are now even more powerful. But for one reason or another, none of those clubs are hitting top gear. So yeah, it could happen, providing they don't have an injury crisis. But my money would be on Arsenal to win it, and Leicester to be in the top four.

Not sure it requires an injury crisis tbh, just injuries to one of their two stars, how many non-Vardy/Mahrez goals have they got? Not many I would have thought.

Did you mention anything about Kante before he was analysed on MOTD the other week, by any chance? Tbh, i didn't even know who he was until Leicester game then couple of their fans before the game were raving about him and said he was their player of the seaosn but not getting the credit like some others. What game was it where MOTD pointed him out? Never watch that anymore, can't stand Shearer on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mention anything about Kante before he was analysed on MOTD the other week, by any chance? No but what's your point? Up until last week 90% of Leicester talk on here has been about Vardy and Ranieri and Mahrez to a lesser extent. It might've been obvious to KI all season but i've only noticed Kante in the last month or 6 weeks. A period of which he's faced us and been phenomenal against Chelsea. As Brett said Leicester fans have been raving all season about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
