DJ Barry Hammond Posted 21 December 2017 Posted 21 December 2017 4 hours ago, Wymeswold fox said: Making Mourinho lose again will fuel more questions on him, regarding whether he can get the club to win more trophies. But they now sometimes look sluggish and a lot to be desired for, to be honest, from some of their recent displays. There are little signs that all is not well with Jose / United. Certainly feeling his emotions and ego could be clouding judgement a little. I seriously think they could be there for the taking. It would certainly be interesting to see how they'd react to a high tempo in their faces start and conceding an early goal - my only doubt on this is whether Puel will go for that approach, but I don't see why you wouldn't try and attack them because I feel its the defence is where there weakness remains, whereas sitting back simply allows their better players to get on the ball. 1
Dr The Singh Posted 21 December 2017 Posted 21 December 2017 I can't see us keeping a clean sheet, otherwise I would say we had a chance of winning. It's either a one mil defeat or a draw for me. Were just consistent at giving soft goals away. 2

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 21 December 2017 Posted 21 December 2017 We cannot win this by trying to beat these at their own game; slow, possession based football. We need to outwork teams to give us an edge, and Im not sure that Puel will do that which will give us our best chance; high tempo and attack from the start is what is required. Therefore I am not confident of a positive outcome.

Yes, I’m still pissed off by it and regards to that game the excuses were bullshit, roles are reversed this time. The gap in quality between us and palace is small. A negligible difference. The difference between man utd to us sadly is much bigger.

Watford is the boxing day game and all boxing day games are hand picked because of travel limitations.

That is a bit harsh for sure. I know its difficult to travel to plymouth but usually its logical. oldham used to have forest a lot on boxing day games. Constructing the fixture list is however a complete nightmare Edited 21 December 2017 by Donut

Chilwell Iborra. nididi Mahrez Okazaki Vardy With games coming up, think this team could do a job on United. Amartey and draga looked solid enough in the week, rest up Wes, amartey may offer more on the overlap, and got to reward fringe players who come in and performance, to send a message out to those on the fringes, and those starting I like that line up,. I'd also like to see Albrighton for Chilwell and Gray because he can stretch them, But we'd lose Okazaki's combative element. So save Gray for 2nd Half. We know they are beatable if we can just not be so wasteful with the Ball. After the Week we've had a draw would be a good result. Edited 22 December 2017 by Clever Fox 1

I realise it was a weakened team last night but still 1 or 2 that’ll be involved at the weekend. Or are we just gonna hide behind our own excuses of “We played an extra 30 minutes on Tuesday”? Mmmm our flight from southampton was delayed. But when i drive to Southampton it only takes 2 hours... why are we flying? 1

Wymsey Posted 22 December 2017 Posted 22 December 2017 Mourinho has spoken highly of Leicester in his pre-match conference. Unlike the likes of Dyche etc.
