Neil Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Leicester just do all the basics really well. Can't believe I'm saying this but I can't see a major weakness. Lots of pace, couple of players in particularly exceptional form going forward, solid at the back, tenacity in getting the ball back. Should be 3-0 already.

BlueStar Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Be funny for teams like Liverpool and Man U to try and buy some of these players and get turned down because they can't offer them Champions League football like Leicester can. That still seems like a weird thing to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems they've just come across some kind of magic combination in regards to attitude, personality & ability re Vardy/Mahrez. Shows how much is down to attitude if anything.

Easily if we're talking about a single season in isolation. Would love to see them win it. Ranieri would have a statue in no time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 After Arsenal next week Leicester have a pretty decent run to the end of the season: Norwich (h), West Brom (h), Watford (a), Newcastle (h) 5-0, Palace (a), Southampton (h), Sunderland (a), West Ham (h), Swansea (h), Man Utd (a), Everton (h), Chelsea (a). They could do this like, no cup games as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
