You score once against this Leicester team, and they just fall apart. Even though that first goal has often not looked like coming in a lot of their matches.
I'm currently Sunderland, Boro and one other. (I know I probably should have learnt my lesson in relation to Sunderland though...) As deep in trouble as Leicester are, I do think they're the most capable out of themselves, Palace, Hull and Bmouth (if they get properly sucked in), of going and picking up 7 points from 3 games or something. Swansea have hit form at such the right time. Not only are the currently moving four points clear, but after Chelsea away next, they have Burnley, Hull, Bmouth and Boro is succession. What a time for them to have those fixtures.
Plus points to Leicester going down: 1) Jamie Vardy 2) The media will have a different club to criticise for selling all their best players 3) Robbie Savage MIGHT get less TV air-time
I hope that Boro, Sunderland and Bmouth all survive for the simple reason that I don't fancy any of their players. But the others have players who I think would be good additions to our squad (not squad, not necessarily starting XI), and getting relegated increases their availability.
Yeah. At least they could score under Pardew (I think when he left, only that current top four had more goals than Palace). Now they can't score, or defend. But still only two points adrift.
For now. I still wouldn't write him off though. I don't like him or his style, but if he can get them to understand what he wants, he still has the ability to get them out.
Heard yesterday that at the start of weekend Palace had same amount of goals away from home as Chelsea Boro is my favourite currently.
Agree, I still think they will get out of it tbh. They've got goals in that team which Boro & Leicester are lacking for me
