This is the posting equivalent to Lionel Messi, PNP. Unfortunately, the Leicester fans will just give a Robert Huth reaction by elbowing it aside to ignore and then continue on their path of insinuating that we have an agenda against them.
ha ha you've gone through everyone of our goal of the months just to prove a point...or you fancied cracking another one out over alli's goal at palace a long pass is direct to a player , a long ball is just a punt into an area hoping somebody will get it because your not good enough to pass to the player
I remember WBA beating us at home on the very last day of the DOUBLE season, 2-1. Had we won we would have broken the points record. The fact that we had already won the league meant we were all on a high but to lose the last match, especially at home, was a choker. Its ironic that the next month we beat Leicester to complete our Glorious Double!
Out of sheer curiosity, what would you say are areas/aspects of your team that could be improved? Don't hide behind the 'oh we're poor little old Leicester we're supposed to be in the relegation zone but look at us flying how could I possibly think of improving' bollocks that some of your fellow fans come out with, as next season you will be a marked commodity. Every team will see their fixture against you with your golden badges as a mini cup-final and will scrap for every inch. You will need improving, so I'm asking - where, who and how? I say this because one thing I will point out off the bat of PNP's post is that I can count the amount of times I've seen your lot raise criticisms/concerns about your side on one finger, and even that is only my little finger. If you look through just our WBA match thread, you will see that almost all of us are willing to point out aspects of our team that need work and improvement. I haven't seen anything similar from you, Fosse, AK47 or any of our other friends on here this season.
That's a good question and also a hard question ! We've over achieved and are top of the league so it's hard to criticise though I'd like Drinkwater to shoot more and Schmichel to catch the ball more instead of punching (Alli style) too ! Other than that we're very much still a work in progress and far from the finished product but barring an absolute collapse will finish as champions ! My beef is that some of the posts here criticising us for stuff you do yourselves , in your eyes you are holyer than thou !
If you'd been through the ****e we've been through since the PL started, you'd understand the frustration on here! Interesting answer. So you'd basically leave your starting XI as it is? I think most of us are of the same opinion, albeit that is more down to the age of the team and the scope it has to improve naturally for years to come. I'd say that the FAC showed that your reserve team isn't very good. You've benefitted enormously from not having any European football this year and exciting the cups quite early on, giving Ranieri the room to basically start the same XI every single game. Next season you'll be pushing 50-60 fixtures if you do well in the cups. Surely investment there is needed?
Our Owner had a plan for CL football within five years achieved within eighteen months. This is only our second season back in the prem after a decade in lower leagues ! That's why it's hard to be critical !
Frankly that's rubbish ! There's bigger clubs below us that haven't had Europe or the cups to deal with ..... Villa , Newcastle, Sunderland etc but to offset that with the exception of Huth our team has little or no prem experience !
I would strongly dispute that it's rubbish. You will find out next season that having Europe to contend with, plus trying to maintain a credible title defense, will be a whole lot tougher than you currently seem to believe.
Investment goes without saying and would not be a problem as our owner is second to none, believe you me !
Not disputing that , I was disputing CK's point that the reason we've done so well is that we haven't had Europe or cup runs to deal with and I pointed out that there are bigger clubs below us that also haven't had Europe or cups to contend with and also have more prem experience ! I know next season will be damn hard .
'Bigger' isn't to be confused with 'better' - you of all people should know that Trust me when I say it; if you want to take the CL and domestic cups seriously, you cannot play the same 11-13 players every week as has been the case until now. Your examples are ridiculous as they are all teams relegated or on the brink of relegation. You are the champions elect; the only logical comparison from here on in is to teams who have won the title in recent years, and all of them have somehow managed to juggle European campaigns along with a title challenge. The fact that much larger clubs than you such as Arsenal and City failed miserably at the latter albeit surviving with pride intact in the former should be enough evidence to demonstrate just how hard it is. To say otherwise isn't admitting weakness! I think that's the real issue here. It's honestly like you're petrified of catching yourself saying that Leicester can't achieve something! To say otherwise is exceptionally sensible. Thank the stars Wimmer turned out to be a class player as 3 months of PL and EL football without Jan and our other CB playing as a midfielder and our 'title challenge' would've ended back in February. Same goes for Kane miraculously avoiding injury all season. We have been haplessly naiive in the transfer market at times - saying that isn't admitting a weakness, it is being realistic. And realistically, playing Huth for 56 games on the trot isn't going to work.
Huth 60+ easy I think Ranieri and our much sort after scouting staff will be only too aware of our requirements for next season ! Probably wouldn't listen to me anyway ?
The only attack force in the Prem that resembles what you'll face in Europe, is Arsenal. Look what they did to you!... Huth will get found out in Europe, believe it....
I do believe it lol but like I said earlier, Ranieri and his staff will know the areas where we need to strengthen with all their experience of Europe after all our scouting department is second to none as both yourself 's and the Gooners know all too well !
Leicester are going to expend a lot of energy playing in the CL against technical teams that know how to keep the ball, they only manage around 40% possession in the PL, and will probably have less than that in Europe. That`s a lot of running and chasing after the ball to deal with, which will see their high energy tactics affected by fatigue when it comes back to the league games.
