HaydnNUFC Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Fully believe we can go to that place and win, and there's no reason why the players can't after finally getting that monkey off their backs. Going to this, in the away end, courtesy of @tommo. HTL. 0-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Leicester are a funny team, at times they look very good and yet at other times very average. My big concern is that they will overrun us in midfield. Last season down there for 75 minutes we could have scored 6 or 7, then the last 15 minutes they could have scored 4 or 5 also. I know the defence was better today, but it’s still also very much our Achilles heel. Just got to hope getting the monkey of our back will give the necessary boost.

GWN Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Well I got the Burnley result wrong , so, this well on paper we write off the next few games but if we up it a notch we can’t get a point . The next 5 games I’m expecting 1 point, anything else is a bonus 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Dangerous to see Maddison coming back into form, but I'm quite confident we can get a result here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Only changes I would consider would be Hayden and Fernandez in for Willock and Lascelles, but would be more than happy if he went same team. Can’t see him dropping the skipper anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I only watched the extended highlights of yesterday's game. There were a couple of points where our defenders were miles out of position, especially the centre-backs. I can't see Leicester not capitalising on that and scoring. I feel the best we can hope for is a score draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Leicester aren't looking too good this season. Think Rodgers has set his sights on a move at the end of the season and that's filtered through the team. With no pressure on us we could nick something here.

Going to this, in the away end, courtesy of @tommo. HTL. 0-3. Same here, me da’s coming down for it. Moved down to Leicester for work in 2017 and have been to the King Power for every game since with the exception of the 4-2 (obviously). My record is two wins, one loss. However, thanks mainly to big fat Steve it’s three goals for and six against Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 They play today then Napoli on Thursday night then us again Sunday. Hopefully some tiredness in their legs. I think we could get something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Agreed on Maddison, he tends to drift late into the box, which would rely on Willock or Shelvey picking him up. These are great going forward, but bobbins at the back: 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some tiredness in their legs. I think we could get something. Napoli is a game they must get a result from too. Not even like they can put a real weak team out. Interestingly they’ve won two, drew two and lost one directly after a European game this season. All against mediocre/average teams (Brentford, Leeds, Palace, Watford, Brighton). Gives us a great chance, imo. Edited December 5, 2021 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Their defence isn't the best. We can score against them. A score draw wouldn't be a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Need to be very wary of the free kicks around the box, we conceded a couple against Burnley that are right in Maddison’s area of expertise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 They’re certainly not as robust defensively as they have been, but have a feeling the game will be won or lost in midfield. A draw would be a good result here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just having look at Leicester's home form. They've won three (Watford, Man United, Wolves) drawn one (Burnley) and lost three (Chelsea, Arsenal and City). They've scored 11 and conceded twelve, keeping one clean sheet. They have a must win game away to Napoli on Thursday, which is promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Their form in fixtures immediately after their European games is: L D W D W. So I wouldn't say there's anything definitive to glean from that. Then again, that one L (which was against Brighton) did follow the previous Napoli game.

Guest HTT II Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Of some of our tougher fixtures, this is a game we shouldn’t be scared of and can look to get something from it. I’d happily settle for a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Be very happy with a point here. They are way underperforming at the minute and are 'due' some form at some point surely...Hopefully after they play us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
