Mark Lawrenson's Predictions

Recommended Posts

Posted

This is why I said it had to be a spoof - but the utterly freaky part of it is that equally it 'could' be Lawro's insane utterings.

Mind you - long may his insanity continue. It has served us well so far.

He was on five live this evening and he stated unequivocally that he thought we would tighten up a few weeks ago being chased and we haven't. We look relaxed and he can't see how we won't win it now

I like how he says he called us looking like title winners before the international break as though that proves he really is some kind of footballing clairvoyant. :D

He will never be able to get away from his comments on football focus in December - 'they can't'. 'Why? '. 'They just can't' no explanation. crap punditry.

That has got to be up there with "you'll never win anything with kids"

I thought that. Anyone following clearly knows he's been waiting for our bubble to burst for ages, but now he's acting like he's been championing us for ages.

Before the international break as well.  That means he only started saying we look convincing before the round of fixtures currently being played lol lol lol  Such a wally.

Their manager Claudio Ranieri seems to have turned to the Italian approach of defend, defend, defend and try to pinch a goal, which means Leicester have lost a bit of their edge.

That is completely understandable given the position they are in, but they have got to be a little bit careful that they do not go too defensive in the final weeks of the season - if you just keep getting over the line - as they have done in with all those 1-0s in the past few weeks - sooner or later you will get caught out.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

 

What an idiot.

he is just playing it safe - no longer sticking with his "principles"

How does Mark Lawrenson make a living talking about football?  He is hopeless at predicting the results of matches, provides almost no insight into what is happening on the pitch, and is sarcastic and patronising.  Troy Deeney was a hundred times better at the weekend.

He's got a point in many ways. We should go for the kill against Sunderland and try and reclaim a bit of goal difference.

 

The cautious approach is okay against the better teams but, if we score early, I'd like to see the floodgates open.

 

Jermaine Defoe wouldn't have missed that Mane chance.

Jermaine Defoe wouldn't have left Simpson for dead like that in the first place.

He would have had a point if he had said what you had said. We do concede chances and Defoe is the person to convert them.

 

But he didn't he thinks we will draw because we are so good defensively:

 

 

So I actually think this is a really tricky game for Leicester, who I just feel are being a bit too over-reliant on how good they are defensively.

 

Yes we will struggle to beat one of the worst sides in the league, because we are so good at the back.

 

If he had said 0-0 and not 1-1 I could also respect that, our goals have dried up and Sunderland will be organised at the back and may play for a 0-0. But this is forgetting that we have scored in the most games, we have the best away  record in the league. It is also ignoring the fact that Sunderland are poor, they couldn't score against West Brom when their survival depended on it.

 

If you are going to predict that top of the league is not going to beat 18th, you need a better reason than we are too good defensively.

The thing is, have we switched to a ultra defensive style or have opponents begun to give us more of the ball and sat back, hoping to catch us on the break?

I think it's a bit of both. It's not that we've deliberately switched to 'italian' mode. It's that opponents are finally respecting us more, meaning we have to attack in a different way, we are cautious of the break and so are playing more conservatively

Lawro saying Arsenal under no pressure to win the league so will play relaxed. Guess they started off that way but 2 nil up with a possible win to put them a point behind Spurs was too much for them to take.
