Ted Maul Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 I'm absolutely delighted that we kept ourselves in the tie and have now eased our relegation worries- it means we can concentrate on the game and just enjoy the occasion. I think it will be a cracker- I think we'll win, but go out with a bang on away goals- 3-2 is my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we've got enough to win it though. I think how poor we were in the away leg made Sevilla look better than they are, and if we come out all guns blazing and get the first goal early-ish, it could throw them a little. I think it'll be a really nervous game for us but I'm really excited for it. If we score early they will have to attack us. That means we could catch them on the counter attack..

jayfox26 Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 We've had lots of big games over the years like cup finals, play off finals, matches in the run up to winning the league etc but is this the biggest game we will play in to date? I personally think it is and wanted to get other people's view. I guess our main focus is staying up but having a chance of progressing to the quarter finals of the champs league is huge. I may be getting a little over excited as I have a ticket and I can't wait for the game! Atmosphere will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1FOX Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 The buzz for the champions league is back! With us now doing well in the league with back to back wins and 5pts clear of relegation zone, we can appreciate the biggest game in Leicester City history. This will be special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd regard last season's fixtures against Man City, Arsenal and Swansea as more important. This is no doubt a huge occasion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 Seville are still huge favourites, but there is a chance we could do something amazing. Important we don't concede an early goal, make sure we're still in the game at half time. That's not to say we should be negative, but we need to be sensible and not go all out early on. We do need play with intensity though, rough them up a little and hope we have a ref who doesn't fall for their theatrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnow john Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 Where can I find the odds for the game, I really think it will be pens. How is it decided which end the pens are taken. Kop end would preferable. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Blessed It Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 Irrespective of league form, everything that's happened with Ranieri and the overall negativity that has shrouded Leicester the season, what an incredible achievement. For a club like Leicester to win the group comprehensively and be a 1-0 win away from a Champions League quarter final is monumental. So, so many teams have spent fortunes, in both money and time to even break into the top four, this season included, yet here we are, a week away from an incredibly special game for the club. It's not a game where moaning is permitted. Nor is it a game where a particular dislike for a player, starting line up or substitution should be voiced. Instead, this is an all out celebration of a magnificent achievement, and should be done so with nothing but fierce backing, which, to our credit, we've been doing for years. People often say that 'anything can happen in football', which of course, is completely true. But we're Leicester City, so, as we all know, we specialise in the extraordinary!

Pens are decided by coin toss unless there is grounds of concern for safety (i.e. the entire end being full of away fans). As always are in the corner and probably less than 1500 of them I would imagine it would just be the coin toss should it get that far. As far as odds go, SkyBet have Leicester to win on pens at a cool 60-1 (Leicester in ET is 70-1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 If we are at defensively, no reason why we can't get through as we are now back in form going forward. If we can get through to half time with a clean sheet, that would really give us confidence for 2nd half. I would play Slimani and get Albrighton putting balls in the box at every opportunity.

I'd like to see Slimani in for Shinji. It was ****ing criminal against Hull the amount of crosses Vardy put in with nobody attacking them. But there's no chance we'll change the starting 11 that's won back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always Ranieri's intention/wet dream to play Vards and Slim but somehow it never clicked from the first whistle but doesn't look too out of place later on in games.

Nick Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 And yeah I don't think Ryad or Gray are 10's - Okazaki is the closest thing we have and I include King and Slim in that! Im sure we'll get Rooney on loan next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Blues Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 If Slimani or Huth pick up a yellow against Sevilla, would they then face a 1 game ban if we advance to the quarterfinal? They've accumulated two yellow cards in the group stage, but I'm not sure how it all works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpendenfox Posted 6 March 2017 Share Posted 6 March 2017 got to be honest, I'm a bit excited already, and there are eight days to go. The last few months have taken some of the gloss of last season for the moment at least, but next Tuesday is a chance to celebrate the glorious last two years, come what may. That Champions league music is going to bring on the goosebumps, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
