Not sure if this game next suits us tbh. Would have preferred another team that likes to play football.

Leicester play exactly how we don't like it; defend narrow, in numbers and like to counter attack.

Well its up to them to sort it, it has to get sorted. We'll be in for long seasons if we can only beat teams in the top 6 <yikes>

I think the outcome of today's Swansea/Leicester match may play apart. If they get a win or at least avoid a defeat they will be more confident at home and that could leave them to play a more open game. Ranieri and his team are not compact anymore and however they play they cannot really hold us and one early goal for us the floodgates may open.

Leicester needs the points plus will be at home so hopefully there will be space for us to exploit. We need to play a bit cautious imo to draw them out whilst ensuring the defence gets the cover it needs.

Bar Mourinho, is there a more negative manager than Raneiri?

Them being back in CL action might help too btw

Id look at it other way. Lose to Swansea and they'll be needing a win which might force them to push up bit more. Win against Swansea and could in theory play for a draw.

Defence dont look as solid solid as it did last year and withrojr Kante marshalling back 4, should be space for Cout and Firm to exploit.

I see Ranieri prioritising the CL still. He is stubborn and will put out a strong team to win, even if their premiership life is in the balance.

That has been Ranieri's problem at the start of the season. He won his CL matches and gave the impression that this was his priority. Even then we all could see that his premiership matches were suffering but he didn't give a damn. He thought that once the CL matches were over, he'll just take off in the Prem and win their matches. It doesn't work like that and Leicester are an extreme example of how the CL can affect the league form ,.

I think his biggest problem is 95%+ of his squads careers peaked lay season. Majority if not all of them know they'll never better last seasons title win. They don't seem to be giving the same effort levels as a result.

If they win the CL and get relegated they can easily win the Championship with a reserve side and focus all their effort into retaining the CL
