Nalis Posted 26 May 2019 Share Posted 26 May 2019 Always thought Savage was an arsehole pundit previously but when you see who his company is on BT (Sutton, Jenas, Owen, McManaman, etc), he's actually alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 27 May 2019 Share Posted 27 May 2019 Just looked at our stats from this season and it's amazing - our general play was top 6 standard. We had more shots on goal than any team except the top 4 and Man U (and there wasn't too much difference between ourselves Tottenham, Arsenal and Man U). You might then ask, well did we get them on target? Yep - our shots on target ratio was one of the highest too, 6th overall. Yet, our goals scored was only 11th. It's a similar story for goals against - we had the fifth least number of shots against us, and fifth least on target. Yet, we conceded the 7th least number of goals (http://www.footstats.co.uk/index.cfm?task=league_s) As the Guardian post suggests, luck (and confidence) play a big part. An issue under Puel was opposition teams didn't feel so much pressure or intimidation playing us, especially at home. Just think of the atmosphere when we won the title and how that feeds through to both the team and the opposition, especially poorer sides. When you think about what the club and players went through last season - off the field the tragedy with the Chairman and the other people on board the helicopter, and on the field transitioning to a much younger side, playing a different style of football, losing our best attacking player ahead of the start of the season (Mahrez) - it was a brilliant achievement to finish top 10 and could have been so much more with a bit more luck. We have a great foundation from which to build. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly isn’t as intense as it was when I was a kid but it was always the Derby for me growing up living in Derby and all the lads at school being Derby fans. The stick I took when Savage ‘won’ that penalty sticks in the mind ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 28 May 2019 Share Posted 28 May 2019 (edited) It'd be the exact same on here, if anything I'd say theirs is probably more even keeled than if it was reversed. Great irony is that there were some Derby banners on the M1 in Leicestershire so those calling it sad or whatever have shot themselves in the foot.

Koke Posted 28 May 2019 Share Posted 28 May 2019 Most Leicester fans honestly don't even care about Derby. Just look at the Championship thread and see how many preferred Derby promoted instead of Villa. And Villa barely get a mention on here unless we play them. Thats the level of irrelevancy Derby are to us. A funny banner on the motorway doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
