    1-0 to them but it's an acceptable price to win the possession stats.

    Wait, that's not right....
     
    At this point I don't even care about the performance or even the result.

    All I ask is that we play with a bit of urgency like we actually want to win, :) :) :)
     
    Honestly have no idea how this will go, but hopefully we'll pass them to bits and lull them into a false sense of security, scoring on a dramatic Fellaini header off a messy short corner routine in the final minute.

    2-1 to leicester, vardy to score the winner.

    it's all written isn't it... I would like to be more positive than this but some of our results and performances like yesterday are sapping away my confidence.
     
    Not got a good feeling about this. The 0-0 draw has killed any winning momentum we had whilst also giving us nothing to bounce back from (defeat). We have no attacking players in form really. The players looked knackered midweek the same as they did by the end of the Wolfsburg match which preceded the Arsenal thrashing. I'll be pleasently surprised if we avoid defeat to be honest.
     
    There is a different mindset when you are the hunted.. It will be interesting to see if Leicester plays with the same way the have all year or because they are top it changes them. If the come at us we will have chances so it's going to come to us taking those chances. 1-2 top of the league
     
    This is the going to be one of the worst #1-#2 in terms of talent and quality in a while.
     
    There's a fine line between being realistic and being a miserable pessimist and I think the majority of you have passed the line.

    We will win and it will be a cracking game IMO. 1st vs 2nd :drool: so keen!
     
    If we had won against PSV I guess that we would all have been more confident. The big problem now is that more than the result, the performance was poor, and we’re now in a terrible situation. We’re almost all agree that we won’t win at Wolfsburg so we’re all unconfident for the future, beginning by tomorrow agains Leicester.

    To be honest we were not very good against Watford, a team that proposed absolutely nothing for 70 minutes or so. It’s really difficult to think that we’ll go all firing tomorrow against the leaders, one of the brightest sides of the League and win easily with our current level. We were something like that days before Arsenal, and unfortunately we were destroyed by the same type of side.

    Of course Leicester opens the game, they play fast and direct attacks, but we’re not really able to enjoy the space and create our chances. The Gunners have beaten Leicester there thanks to a terrific defense, but especially an enormous Sanchez (also Ozil that day). We’ve no game changers or a player able to win us the game when we’re all defending. Last year tha t was the same. We had players in form (or confident enough to break and kill them) that scored, but we conceded.

    I’m afraid that we’ll concede goals but we won’t be able to score especially with our style of play. I would like to win, even if it’s boring and crap, that’s only what we can do.

    I would love to see us make a statement and switch up the style of play, be more direct as a backlash against the tumescent crap we saw on Weds. However that would be very dangerous against an inform, pacey team like Leicester.
     
    Give them some respect and get numbers behind the ball. We aren't going to tonk them like Arsenal did, and it would be a shame if we get caught out of position on the counter like every other team has. They don't care for possession, they're more than happy for us to have the ball (like most teams) and his us hard on the counter (unlike most teams). So, we have to show our qualities without the ball.

    We have to be the hardest team in the PL to break down on the counter with 2 sitting midfielders who barely join in our attacks. Stats show when we do go forward we are the most efficient team in the league in converting chances so we don't often lose the ball and get countered.
     
    2-1 Leicester

    Team I'd like to see if fit.

    --------De Gea
    Young Smalling Rojo Blind
    ------Schnedierlin
    Lingard Mata Herrera Martial
    --------Rooney


    BFS for Herrera.

    Herrera is turning into a bit of a crock.
     
    I actually think we'll win.

    Leicester this season remind me of when you're on football manager and just play one tactic and click your way through the season with no adjustments to whoever your opposition is.

    I know it's not logical

    could almost describe us until Fellaini comes on to weave his magic.
     
    Leicester are probably the perfect team to combat our playing style.

    They have serious pace, and are always looking to counter attack.

    Expect quite an open game. 2-1 Leicester.
     
    They are just as good as PSV, and they'll come out and have a proper go. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet, so can't see us winning.
     
    I think we'll draw. Leicester will come out of the blocks really fast, sustained pressure and grab a goal. We'll probably equalize from a set piece or corner, followed by more Leicester pressure before the game peters out to a boring draw.

    1-1
     
    Id get Martial on the wing for this one. Let him have a run at players. Have him and Lingard, with Rooney up top. Midfield three of Fellaini (how we used him last season) Schweinstieger and Schneiderlin

    De Gea
    Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
    Schneiderlin
    Lingard Schweinstieger Fellaini Martial
    Rooney    ​

    EDIT:

    If Lingard's injured, put Mata in for him.

    It's not often I predict us to lose but I just feel they will be too fast and aggresive for us.

    When that tactic wins 90% of games it's sort of worth sticking too :lol:
     
    Expect a Vardy on steroids, no way will he ever get a chance to break that record again so he's not gonna give a 100%, he's going to give a 500%.
