Edingleyfox Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Could do without this result. Not taking Champions League for granted just yet. I know we should be looking up not down but we have looked nervy of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 It's not just a case of 'still' being 6pts clear in a few games. If that happens then it suggests we have gone off the rails in terms of form and there is a decent side (maybe more) below us picking up form. If someone said before the season if i'd take being 6pts clear of 5th at the start of March i'd say yes. But not so much when we were 15pts clear a few months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Plenty of very naive people on here who think CL is in the bag and we can dismiss Man Utd, Wolves and Tottenham as no hopers and no threat to our top four spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs are very capable of putting in a big sequence of wins. As are we. Difference is we've already proven it this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 If Spurs catch anyone. And it's still a considetable "if", it will be Chelsea they catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulp! Then Man Utd last game at home! Surely not...Oh we are Leicester though 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to up our level from is current one to get anything form those matches. Can we? yes. Will we? Not so sure. We are in a great spot but we've a lot of work to do still and any points dropped by those outsode the top 4 is a good thing for us, conversely wins, especially in matches they could/should lose are the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also away at Arsenal, Spurs and at home to Man utd are quite possibly going to result in 0 points. That leaves 8 matches to get the probably 6 or 7 wins required to make top 4. Behave.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 We have a +20 goal difference over Spurs, so they'd technically need 4 wins and a draw (or 5 wins) to go above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will have to throw myself off a bridge after reading that. I know we are lcfc but that would be even too Leicester for Leicester. When are people going to realise that we are a bloody good side and those teams Will be more worried about having to play us than we are them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Md9 Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Another day and spurs lose this 4 or 5 nil they are poor at the back. Also have wolves and Man Utd to play in March and Burnley away plus the replay with soton and 2 champs league games where they could get injuries or tired ness catch up with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just ridiculous. We've just got a point against a Chelsea team who sit in 4th. We should really have all 3 points but missed easy chances. It's quite possible we'll manage a win or a couple of draws against those 3. EDIT: Lets not forget that the teams below us fighting for 4th place also have to play each other too, so plenty more points will be dropped.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 The other way of looking at it is we’ve had our bad patch and will hit top form again very soon and Vardy will start banging them in again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 I hope our players and management aren’t as beset by anxiety as some of the posters on here. Spurs fluke a win and suddenly it’s all worry worry worry. Nobody is going to gift us a Champions League place. We have to earn it. Over 38 matches. And we’re in a great position to do just that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have relied on Man City missing chance after chance after chance. They've been lucky You're always going to concede chances against Man City, but closing spaces where it can hurt you (i.e. in the middle) is key. Tottenham are no where near the level of Man City but they did make them look pretty ordinary in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same ones who think we can "prioritize" both the FA Cup and the League. Better to have an excellent League cushion so we can name stronger XIs in the Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manders86 Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Really don't understand why people are messing their pants over this. I think we will go to Wolves and win a week on Friday. I'm happier Man City have dropped points and we can look to move up! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
