Mikey Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Going to be a very tough game. Reckon Mahrez will score (another away goal), and we'll play out a scrappy 1-0 win again...which I'll snap your hand off for! Thought Shinji and Mahrez looked tired today, both done a lot of travelling in the last week so hopefully they get a good rest. I know Morgan did too but he does what he wants and he's always alright. Can't wait for it.
Dan Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 You know the funny thing? I can see us winning 0-1 AGAIN.
Max Power Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Maybe its the drink + euphoria but I genuinely believe we'll absolutely smash these. Early goal and then just roast them on the break as they look for much needed points. Would obviously take another 1-0 (O'Shea OG) with 12% possession
Benguin Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Win this and spurs lose to united and title could be wrapped up as soon as full time at home to Swansea!
Foxxed Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Serial relegation battlers with a history of getting results at this stage in the season. Can't take it for granted.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Will be a very very tough game But winnable Up the Foxes
Phube Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 I feel a draw, even in last year's amazing run they held us to a draw, this year to be the same...
HighPeakFox Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 History, as this season is proving, is fairly irrelevant.
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Hopefully Norwich win on the Saturday, meaning that Sunderland will be 6 pts from safety. That way, they won't be able to just sit in and play for a draw, they will have to come at us and that will play right into our hands. Van Aanholt likes to go forward and seems to forget his defensive duties a lot of the time, so you would like to think that Mahrez can do some damage on that side. I'm very confident about this game, I'll probably be a bit more nervy nearer the time but for now I'm going to say 2-0 Leicester.
STUHILL Posted 3 April 2016 Posted 3 April 2016 Sunderland need the win but knowing Big Sam, that still doesn't mean an open, attacking game from them, it means defend defend defend and try and nick a 1-0... We should beat these comfortably if we play with good tempo and quality but we seem to struggle against these teams low down in the table. I'm hoping we blow them away with fast, slick football and Mahrez is back on fire, but it could be similar to the Newcastle/Villa games where we struggle to get anything going and it's a tense, tight game with a 1-0 to either side. Really hope we beat them as can see Man U getting something at Spurs and we could go 10 points clear!
possiblygeorge Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 Due for a 3+ goal win. Won't happen against this mob i don't think though
FantasticMrFox&Son Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 I remember that Wigan used to be relegation experts and would somehow survive year upon year. Good to see them doing well in Division 1 this year.................... Sunderland and Big Sam take note, you might want to check the small print in your contracts.
foxes21 Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 They will sit back, so it will be another tough team we will have to break down. They aren't going to come at us Sam is smarter then that. Get the first goal, we win.
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 The west brom result means they need to attack which will play into our hands. They are a dangerous team though... Dangerous from set plays Defoe is dangerous in the box Borini is dangerous from distance Johnson is dangerous in a playground....
Babylon Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 I thought we looked shattered against Saints, never rotating players is taking its toll. Honestly wouldn't argue against a couple of changes to freshen things up a bit, the strikers and wingers get through so much work they look jaded.

I agree some players looked shattered, but there was the small matter of internationals and travel/time differences to contend with, as well as he emotional impact. I suspect a week of drug taking recovery time will sort things out to a decent extent..........

Honestly wouldn't argue against a couple of changes to freshen things up a bit, the strikers and wingers get through so much work they look jaded. I think this is more due to the international fixtures and travel across time zones. Mahrez played in poor conditions in East africa, Shinji had been in Japan etc. (although Wes only came back from Jamaica on Friday and with a head cold to boot). A weeks rest now until Blunderland

Agreed, I'd give Gray and Ulloa a run out from the beginning.
midland_red Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 reset counters to zero and start again! It really is one match at a time now, and a match like Blunderland should on paper, be a shoe-in for us. At this stage in the season the table really doesn't lie. However this time last year, a point each suited both us us. This time around, we both need a win, Blunderland to have any hope of staying up, us as insurance against losses in the run-in. This won't be an easy match at all, Defoe always looks dangerous and the team are fighting for their very lives now. But unless nerves kick in - which I don't see any sign of really - I would go for 2-1 to City. Just imagine if Spurs drop another point against Manure on the Saturday!
les-tah Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 i kind of agree, hard to change a winning team.. but id like to see what Gray can do from a start instead of defending a lead!

I'm trying to work out where "Blunderland" comes in the rankings of: Lolverpool. ManUre Spuds Notts Florist Direby Chaventry Farcenal Bryan Munchen And I'm thinking lower mid table.
David Hankey Posted 4 April 2016 Posted 4 April 2016 If Chelski can but 4 by a hapless Villa there is no reason why we can't do the same at Sunderland but I'd be happy with another 1-0 victory.

Nonsense - unlike Villa, Sunderland haven't given up and as a team fighting for survival with some great players to hand and under the direction of Sam, should be afforded the respect that they deserve.

Spot on - there is fight left in them and it will be a tough edgy match I think
