    My unbiased view is to not touch it but at 6/4 it’s not the worst bet. Think I read their main striker is out for the season.

    Leicester have become the first team in the top level to lose 6 home matches in a row without scoring.
    And under RVN they have won 2 and drew 1 out of their last 14 games.

    Hadn't realised it was so bad for them

    True - we'll never know - but Cooper getting a few more points still wouldn't save us this season ... and the football was dire ... and the signings (El Khanouss aside) have been awful ...

    yesterday was only the second time I have watch Leicester outside of MOTD highlights.

    cooper appeared to have the team setup to be solid at the back, looking to nick a goal on the counter.

    Ruud. Well I’m not sure.

    The vulnerability now is partly down to sapped confidence combined with poor defending ...

    As soon as I heard the line up yesterday I thought we would lose - because the lack of cutting edge up front piles even more pressure on that fragile defence - Ayew and de Cordova-Reid add nothing other than minutes played as back-ups at their former clubs - uninspired signings that have delivered to most fans expectations - but worse, neither are natural wide players and therefore add nothing creatively...

    Cooper was also lucky enough to have Abdul Fatawu available until he did his ACL on International duty ...

    Hopefully RvN now goes radical - we have a 16 year old striker, Jake Evans, whose scoring exploits are second only to Ethan Nwaneri at that (U21) level, plus Monga (15) who has a host of top clubs circling ...

    Playing them, however they fare, would at least get some of the disillusioned support back on board ... persisting with Ayew and Cordova-Reid certainly won't ...

    Hard to see past Everton getting something vs this Man United side.

    As far as I could make out it’s a wire structure that the locals have decided to fill with plastic bottles.
