£15.2 million riding on this game

 

In the words of ( Not Sure )

 

Must Win  

 

That is almost certainly the case for Leicester City, whose 6-1 home thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night ensured up to £15.2 million would be at stake in their match at Bournemouth.

The deposed champions could theoretically finish anywhere between eighth and 16th, depending on their result and those elsewhere, with each place in the table worth an additional £1.9 million in prize money. Bournemouth have up to £6.6 million riding on the outcome of the game, given they could end up between eighth and 12th.

Its impossible to finish 16th..west ham (42) play burnley (40) and unless both teams somehow obtain 3 points one is guareented below us...and to finish below watford we would need to lose, watford beat man city and their be an 8 goal swing which i find highely unlikely despite what happened againist spurs...so i'd say 14th would be worst case scenario

Don't shoot the messager............. it says between 8th  and 16th not 8th or 16th  so we're playing for 9,10,11,12,13,14th .

This is a big game really for Shakespeare, he needs to bounce back after the awful performance on Thursday. I think we will have enough to see of Bournemouth at home. We owe them one as they are quickly becoming a bit of a bogey side. 2-1  City. (Vardy, Slimani)

[fazzyfox]

I'd like to see us start with the strongest possible line up, with respect for Bournemouth and aware they're playing for prize money places too but if we can get to 60 minutes 2 or 3 up (and after the Stoke and Watford games I don't think that's too unrealistic) then I'd like to see a little bit of something different and interesting such as an appearance by Kaputska and a presumed farewell for Wasilewski, then 20 minutes or so for one of our younger centre halves. I don't really see this approach as falling between two stools (which coincidentally I'll be doing in the Kings Head after the game) but I'm aware that it risks ending up 2-2 or 3-3 and costing a few million for the sake of a bit of sentimentality and a degree of experimentation. Just want something different to Slimani replacing Shinji on 60 minutes.

[Harry96]

Win it and finish top half and look to getting some good players in the summer.

[KingsX]

Of all the clubs that have reached 40 points (including top five, and us), only Bournemouth and Spurs have improved on a points-per-game basis after getting there.

 

Of course for the Cherries that is all of two games, vs Stoke and Burnley, who were already there.

 

 

[lgfualol]

Start Wasyl. Bring him off for a youth CB and give him a nice sendoff.

Imagine if we lose and finish 16th

That's even worse than where we finished two years ago

So you're telling me when we dropped into the relegation zone when Ranieri was in charge you wouldn't have taken 16th?

I think Rob is saying we were in freefall and looked likely to be relegated so 16th would've sounded pretty good back then.

[HighPeakFox]

Don't be so reasonable guys - it is imperative to always find the negative slant.

I would have taken 17th

Exactly. Wouldn't have cared that it was worse than 2 years ago.

[AyewJoking]

Try Amartey in CB. Give Slimani pitch time alongside Vardy. Don't lose 1-6.

Put Chilly in for Amartey and don't think you will be far off

 

[UPinCarolina]

Play Okazaki Silmani and Vardy all at once. 

 

Fvck it.

Never happened.

When we dropped into the relegation zone between Ranieri being sacked and Craig Shakespeare's first game really amounts to the same thing doesn't it?

[Tuna]

I want a good performance and a good result tomorrow to go into the summer with a clear focus.

Absolutely . Let's make these feckers worry about our attacking threat we are the outgoing champions they are dog crap 

[ARM1968]

Win it and Shakey gets the gig. Lose it and he doesn't, imho. 

 

We should win this if the players can be arsed, otherwise their lack of effort will cost everyone except them.
