Match Day Thread Leicester City v Southampton Saturday 12th January 2019 3pm

Still think we'll win this, or at least pick up a point.

 

Have I told you before that I like you.

 

Vesty has been really good in a back three...

 

Yep, would absolutely love a 0-0
Edit: Actually Leicester 0, will suffice perfectly.

 

Match day. Weirdly confident.

 

I have a bad feeling about this game and think it will be 3.0 to Leicester. We have a crap defence, we've lost our best midfielder and have virtually no one up front of any consequence. PS I have noticed that when I am negative about a match we usually get something from it.

 

Not sure what we will get from Leicester and Everton...but would be great to get 3 or 4 points from those 2 matches....with really important games against relegation candidates coming up before the end of February. Not worried about Arsenal as they are a doddle.

 

Retrospective? So any goals scored by either team by or because of him in our previous 3 matches don’t count?

 

I’ve backed Saints and the draw - really don’t think we’ll lose. If we had any strikers I’d be more hopeful of getting all three points.

 

You’re just a permanent wellspring of bad feeling; must be horrible being you.

 

Everyone likes me

 

If we get three points today, I'll change my profile picture to one of Claude & leave it for the rest of the season. Take the bait football gods.........

 

Claude getting all emotional after Shane scored, maybe? A rare moment given how often Claude smiles and Shane scores.

I like Claude btw. And Shane.

 

I'll like him more if he cocks today up!

 

This is one of the rare occasions where I have no idea what's going to happen today. I wouldn't be surprised if we won, drew or lost. I also wouldn't be surprised if Long scored today.

 

^^^ This

I think the showing last week was down to having a back 4, no protection from midfield and not the back 3/5 we are getting used to.

 

It is a shame that the fixture list could have really severe consequences this weekend and therefore anything less than a win will not be favourable. Leicester seem to have become a bogey team for us. With Newport doing them in the cup last week, I cannot see them putting in a similar, repeat performance and expect the match to be particularly tough. As Godders mentioned, there are too many key players missing today which is a concern.

Regarding Puel, I think he serious cocked up with his team selection last week. If Vardy was in my squad, I would want him player week in, week out. We owe Leicester a battering but the King Power stadium is a difficult place to go to. The best hope is that the home team put in another erratic performance.

 

We haven’t scored at Leicester since they got promoted.

Results have been 2-0 1-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 (Leicester won on pens)

Shane long hasn’t scored this season and is our available first team striker.

Time to change that

 

Sounds like we are going to scores loads.

 

I think we could win this, but a draw is possible. If not I think we'll lose.
