ANOTHER EUROPEAN TOUR ANYONE ?

[Guest Bilo]

I think we have a great chance of doing so, seventh is a definite possibility, and I'd say we're as well placed as anyone to do well in one of the cups as well. We've a lot more strength in depth than we did, I'd have faith in our fringe players being able to do over Championship first teams for example, and who knows how draws could serve us?

We have a shot at passing Burnley, obviously. I think Tottenham and Chelsea are vulnerable as well. Both sides are going to put everything into the CL, and with Spurs, it feels like the magic that was keeping them together may be dissipating, and we may see some players looking to leave shortly, which may sow further dissension.

 

It may well be the highest we can get to is seventh, but the proverbial top-6 are hardly unassailable. They have divided attention, and we are improving every week. Defense was soft this week, but that is the next step for this team, finding some consistency of effort on the road. But three goals on the road is a good game by any stretch, and we overcame some late adversity for the win. 

 

I cannot even articulate how much better this side is compared to the same time last season. A pleasure to be a fan at the moment.

Clamatus will be our tour guide...

Can't believe this is a priority.... esp with.his recent form.   Surely strength in mid field and getting a second stricken we can work with...who can come on and change a game...ie not muss nacho or slim.  There are priorities.

 

My fear is the bigger clubs may come for Maguire.

He looks very uncomfortable with the ball. Strength is coming already though - we've got Silva available come Jan, and nacho and slimani are good alternatives. Nevermind that our alternative at right back is a cb come cm come Jack of all trades in amartey.

We're in with a decent chance of Europe again.

 

Looking at the fixture list our hardest games in such a short space of time would be Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea who we play all in the space of 3 weeks or so. That will be tough but if we can get 1 win/avoid 3 defeats then Europe is definitely up for grabs.

No one is going nowhere until the end of the season ! Or maybe need to clean up some players in the bench . They must play more it’s just a lot tallent ( thinking about musa , kelechi  , slimani ( has to be sold what a great player with anger but as long as vardy is in no one gonna touch his place apparently ) and maybe other old players hehe and give more chance to the youngest (impreseed  by Gray and Chilwell )

I certainly wouldn't worry about Maguire leaving. He's done no more than okay since he's been here and would be one of the first few names to look at if Puel tries to stregthen the first team.
