With 16 games to play, where do you think we will finish the season?

[Renart]

You know what to do. Vote and put your reasons below. Here are the results of the last two polls:

 

 

 

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

The way we're playing we are not going to get top 4, can't even create a good chance. Please revert back to LCFC circa September - December 2015.

[daddylonglegs]

Depends.

If Ranieri really goes for it and plays in a completely opposite way to the way we played tonight - Champions League

 

If we set up like tonight from now on - 7-10th.

[Monsell1976]

Just think this is new territory for the players, and the pressure/ inexperience may cost us, so gone for 5/6 th

[weller54]

6th /7th..

No way top 4 on this form /style of play!

[crisp packet]

Gone 5/6

Buy a forward to start I'll say top 4?

[Harry - LCFC]

I think we'll be in the Europa League unfortunately. Never felt we've been odds on for the top four this season. 

 

EDIT: Fvck me that first sentence sounds ridiculous now that I read what I've written. "Unfortunately". Ha!

[Stevosevic]

If this the style we are going to adopt till the end of the season I can see Spurs, Manchester and Stoke bypassing us. 7th-10th

[Aus Fox]

We only have 16 games to play.

Man City have a minimum of 20

Arsenal 19

Spurs 19

Man Utd 19

West Ham 17

Stoke 18

That's minimum, With the top 4 in that all having tricky away games to face in Europe.

This hopefully will equal out the squads a bit.

I am going for us to get 4th ahead of United.

Arsenal

Manx City

Spurs

Leicester City

Man utd

[STUHILL]

Top 4 as long as we sign a striker and Mahrez rediscovers some form, which I think he will.

 

We may even drop out of the top 4 but that could be what the players need to give them a booting and get back to playing with the same ruthless intensity that we started the season with.

 

I think Man City and Arsenal will begin to pull away but other than Spurs, the other teams all seem to be susceptible to losing against anyone and having patchy form. Hope we can finish 3rd but I think Spurs are stronger than us and that will eventually show. 4th place finish with few points gap to Man U... 

[stevelcfc]

7th cause at the moment were bloody awful, need my Leicester back and soon.

[Guest kristianity77]

We haven't really played "well" since Everton away in my opinion and we've had a few lucky results since then to keep us where we are.  If this is our dip then fine, if this is the way its going to be though from here until the end of the season, I cant see us finishing top 4.

 

Having said that though, there is no way on earth we should even consider tonight as a guidance for what happens in league football.   No one was up for it and I don't really blame them.  If we didn't want to take this competition serious (which we didn't else we wouldn't have thrown the reserves out) then why did we just not roll over in the game at Spurs last week, it doesn't make sense to me.  

 

All tonight shows really is that outside of the first 11, we literally have nothing in terms of quality, there is still a couple of weeks to address this however.

 

For what its worth, I voted 5th or 6th.

[Aus Fox]

16 games to go... Win them all and we are champions.

Just think about that for a minute...

Champions

We put out almost the same team in both games, so not sure what doesn't make sense.

I think the two cup games prove we have strength at the back, if anything happens to Fuchs, Morgan or Huth we have replacements.

The midfield looks like we have a bit of strength especially with the new lad and James and Schluup back for.

The areas I worry about if we have an injury is Goalkeeper, right back and Vardy.

Everywhere else I think the cover is great.

[The Doctor]

4th. We've been playing as if we don't want to do anything but lose since Christmas, but the likes of man utd are so unreedemably dull, that I can't see them catching us.

[Guest Col city fan]

My concern is Man Utd. Their ability to play like a bag of shite under Van Gaal yet nick a one nil win is worrying. And we have to play them away.

But I'm still going to go for fourth.

[TheLittleBigMan]

Now we're out the cup with less games to play than our top 4 opponents you would have to see us in the top 4. Unless we keep defending deep and playing hoof ball

Bet they do!!

[adam]

Not played well for weeks. If we are serious about getting into the top 4 we probably need at least 3 new players. Striker, cm and a winger.

[thybluefox]

Keep playing the way we have done recently and we'll do well to see 7th.

[FireFox]

We are 2nd, behind Arsenal on goal difference. If Mahrez did not miss, we could easily be 4 points ahead.

Gray looks promising and will be a better impact sub than Dyer. Amartey could very well provide some more energy into the team and maybe even give us a couple goals from (central) midfield.

We will win the league.

[fuchsntf]

No matter whst happened in the cups, there is no comparisons of like.

I believe until the when becomes, impossible.

Champions....THEN I will laugh alone, because you other infidels, havent earnt to ride beside

our great King Dick. Old Richard didnt like drinking from goblets, he use to spill it when he dropped

his shoulder, to throw a dummy.

[Renart]

Wow, the percentages show that confidence really is starting to ebb away! Considering we are not really in a worse position than we were for the other two polls and we have less games to go in which to be caught, is this a little surprising? Interesting. Is this a blip or is it a slide? Time will tell I suppose. Did the beginning of the season give us too high expectations? The last 5 games might well be the form that we should have expected for the entire season, and maybe we are playing at the level that we 'should' be? Take a look at our form for the majority of last season - we would have killed for the kind of results we have achieved in the last five games during that losing streak.

[lgfualol]

5/6th. But I was never sure if top 4 was ever a possibility with our squad, other teams are just stronger and you have to remember this is our second season back in this league.

Europa league would be good enough for me considering I thought a top 10 finish would be amazing.
