shailen Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 We are better than them. With the confidence, momentum and everything behind us we should have everything to get a result. Burnley fans I'm sure will know the importance of this game, and their fans will be up for this. This is more of a must win for them than us. But nevertheless we need to go there on the front foot and seize the initiative.
ithuriel Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Major game, win it and we hit 31 points with 5 left to play and a 5 point gap over them, lose and Burnley leapfrog us by 1 point so for them it is crucial but for us, we could survive not getting a win there.
elangLCFC Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Anybody know the best place to grab something to eat near the ground? Something quick and easy like a McDonalds, Burger King etc. would be prefeable. Had a look on Google Maps but couldn't really find anywhere so thought I'd see if anybody on here had any ideas. Cheers
LCFC FOX Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Kasper De Laet Morgan Huth Schlupp Albrighton King Cambiasso Vardy Ulloa Nugent Nuge loves a goal against burnley, plus he was playing well. If he's not fit then put Kramaric in. I also think this is the perfect game to bring Knockaert on from the bench as well
Jakemoore Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 If we go to Burnley next week and lose it won't be a massive blow imo. Burnley currently sit 2 points below us. So should they do us next week we will be 1 point behind them. But what you have to remember is we both have relatively simple run ins. I think we will only need another 6 points to guarantee safety. Hull and Sunderland will go down alongside QPR because their run ins are ridiculously difficult. It would be great to beat Burnley next week but don't panic if we lose. I think we are more than capable of winning. We are staying up.
davelcfc100 Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Why do I have a terrible feeling telling me we will sit back a bit and end up losing
iancognito Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 For those asking, it's a calf problem for Nugent, which depending on the severity might be 2 weeks depending on whether it's a pull or a tweak. I can't see us sitting back, Pearson's called it a mini season of six games and that we have to get something out of all of them. They usually sit quite deep which is why few teams get behind them and why they've had a few 0-0s so it'll be difficult for Vardy etc to get in behind. We just need to stay tight ourselves and for God's sake, take the chances that we're likely to get. If we can do it at West Brom we can certainly do it at West Burnley.
TJB-fox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Burnley won't sit back, they have to come at us. This game may suit us because it we will be counter attacking I wouldve thought. Still, think we'll lose
Father Ted Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I can see us sticking with this 3-4-1-2 with either Mahrez or Drinkwater in the gap behind the front two if Nugent isn't fit.
Swiper Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 What's his injury? I'm pretty sure they said it was a pulled calf. If that's the case, there's no reason to think he won't be ready by Saturday. Hopefully they'll give us some info in the next few days.
SpacedX Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Pearson's called it a mini season of six games and that we have to get something out of all of them. I remember a similar scenario in the culmination of the 95/96 season when we had to string a similar run together to make the play offs leading to the final against Palace.
st albans fox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I'm pretty sure they said it was a pulled calf. If that's the case, there's no reason to think he won't be ready by Saturday. Hopefully they'll give us some info in the next few days. If it's anything like hannonds calf, u won't see him till xmas!
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I would play Mahrez because I think we'll be playing counter attacking football here, will be much harder than our last 3 games imo.
Raw Dykes Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 This is a pretty huge match. Burnley will be fighting for their lives, which may make it tougher than the last 3, which were all against sides with very little to play for. Form is certainly on our side - we're scoring plenty and they just can't, but then it was a similar situation for the reverse fixture, and we all know what happened then. If we can play anywhere near as well as yesterday, then I don't think we need to be too worried about any team, but if we treat it as a "must not lose" match, then it could be a very nervy game. I just can't make any predictions about this one, but I won't be surprised to see a few bookings. I think we should just carry on as we are - high tempo, getting crosses in, getting players in the box, etc. I doubt Burnley could have coped with us yesterday.
v6rat Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Nothing to say except if we play like the last three games, it's 3 points for Leicester.
ronnup Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Burnley are in an awful run. They'll be shitting it badly and our lads will be going in massively confident. We're better than them. We can beat them. I'd take the same team in and show the faith.
Guest Bilo Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Burnley are in an awful run. They'll be shitting it badly and our lads will be going in massively confident. We're better than them. We can beat them. I'd take the same team in and show the faith. 1 goal in their last 7 games when they're likely to need at least two to win (we've scored 10 in our past 4) doesn't look good for them, but we can't be complacent. They'll attack us in much the same way we did Swansea yesterday, and we must be up for it as much as they are. If we hit them on the break with Nugent, Vardy and Mahrez though, we could reap the rewards.
ScouseFox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 hopefully a repeat of last year, where we were clearly better than them, above them in the league and went there for some reason as underdogs according to most. then beat them without really having to get into second gear.
The Doctor Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 They'll have to attack - they lose this and suddenly, they've got to finish top of 4 teams to stay up - we'll be 5 clear with 4 left. Even a draw and at best they're 3 points away with 4 left. That suits us to a tee, get they high up and give the likes of Schlup and Vardy acres to run in behind.
Dickov22 Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 He did ok. Burnley will certainly be targeting him given their strength on the right side. And he should be targeting them. With his pace and power he can be pretty decent down our left hand side going forward
DB11 Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I hope Nugent is back, he loves a goal against Burnley
HighPeakFox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I like so many of our team, but I really do think Nugent is special - not world class special, but positive, committed, puts a smile on it special
weller54 Posted 19 April 2015 Author Posted 19 April 2015 A draw will be ok, but won't happen... It's another 3 points... 2-0 Foxes...
KFS Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 Really hope we win this. It would be typical Leicester to lose 1-0
Finnegan Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 Assuming Wasyl is fine, I'll be amazed if we change the team. Everything is clicking. Leave it be. Kramaric, Ulloa, Vardy, same midfield, let's have em.
