We are judging it on the massive upturn since we made big changes. By all means, be a realist/pessimist but I'm not joining you. Im on the optimistic bus for this season Absolutely I'm on the optimism bus (with a hint of realism) My remarks were more aimed at those laughing at the Arsenal fan's assessment of their team in comparison to ours. I very much hope we'll be pressuring Arsenal, Man Utd et al. But there's a small matter of Everton and Wolves to overcome too. Ot's the most excited I've been for a Leicester team in a while though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ot's the most excited I've been for a Leicester team in a while though I think we are already ahead of Wolves and Everton, despite his pretty superb transfer business, we still had Puel holding us back for over half of last season. On paper, we should be top six at least with our current setup. As for this season's rivals, I'm looking at Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United, possibly Spurs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paninistickers Posted 9 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 9 July 2019 I'm a bit worried that all this hubris is going to bite us on the backside. Transfer window isn't closed. Maguire is likely to leave. And as much as I don't rate Arsenal's squad in particular, they finish top 6 every year and we don't. I've supported City for too long to know that one dickie result against wolves is all it takes for the traditional Leicester mentality of told you so, glass half empty eeyores to get going. Let's just go quietly and humbly go about our business rather than sneering at Man U and Arsenal 47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to really want any of those United players in our team bar De Gea. Pogba is too big headed and unsettles the team. So again we actually win midfield and Vardy is better than anyone they can put upfront .. it is actually crazy to be saying this I'd take Perez over Martial too, at least we know he'd put a shift in.

What absolute bo*****s I have no idea whats in his head, but lets just make a leap of faith and assume for a minute that that is true. Potentially superb news for us- it simply means it most likely that he will maximise his talent at a club like Leicester and that its also likely that he recognises the fact. In turn that might increase the probability he will stay with us even though he would attract attention from the big clubs due to consistent high performance. As a scenario?

Harsh on Barnes too. Mad how you could make a genuinely strong claim that our best 11 is better than theirs. Never thought I'd see this day. Player-by-player comparisons are all well and good but don't really paint the full picture - if you were to compare both our squads in our title season then they'd probably come out on top overall. How well a team gels together and the cohesion between the players (and manager) plays just as big a role. Thankfully we're still way ahead of them on that front as well though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried that we'll all get carried away over the summer and as soon as things go even slightly off track then the support for the team will evaporate. Imagine if we go 1-0 down against Wolves, the place will go silent, then our young players start to get a bit edgy, passes go awry and suddenly we're moaning and groaning already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just his tackles/interceptions either. Most of the time he won possession, he'd just burst forward like a coiled spring. It always put the opposition on the back foot and was so important for how we played. God, I miss him! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I seem to remember a few moans on here about him being naive for still trying to attack in the dying minutes of a match instead of holding up the ball at the corner flag.

Let's just go quietly and humbly go about our business rather than sneering at Man U and Arsenal It's not like anyone here has to play in the games - I don't see any reason to temper the excitement some have about the future of the squad, it's okay to enjoy the anticipation and potential and frankly it's hard to argue we aren't better situated than a lot of 'top teams'. And while I agree the boo bird/sky is falling idiots who harried Puel out of a job will invariably rear their head when as you put it we have 'one dickie result against wolves', I say, so what. These curmudgeons are inevitable, like cold in winter, so I'm not going to let them rain on my parade. This is a squad being built the RIGHT way for long term success. Each building block should have us all unabashedly pretty excited. Edited 11 July 2019 by knitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away to Bournemouth he started on the left wing and still looked like the best player on the pitch. It was that game I realised we had a gem.

CosbehFox Posted 11 July 2019 Author Share Posted 11 July 2019 Kante came on for 8 minutes against Sunderland. I realised we had a player at West Ham. We were superb first half there and to be fair, West Ham were equally as good in the second inspired by Payet. We threw on Kante and he had this incredible ability to break up play.
