Think Barnes offers a more threat freeing up others... just start the same team that won well I say. You play nacho you are changing the shape the team is comfortable with Edited 17 July 2020 by foxes_rule1978 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we beat these, we only have to draw the final match. We really are down to the bare bones when you look at our lineup and bench against Shef Utd, so many injuries and suspensions to key players, but the squad stepped up far more than the first team players have recently. I can see us beating Spurs, but Chelsea will beat Liverpool and it will all come down to the final day (and a dodgy VAR decision ) Not a chance are Chelsea winning at Anfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 spuds are fickle! If we get at em be in their faces and bang in some goals they will crack. Keep Sugar Kane from getting any balls and not letting that son-of-a ! run free we will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 I absolutely hate playing Spurs and I hate Harry Kane more. Why does he always get his scoring boots on when he’s about to play us, the guy chaps my ass beyond belief 😖 Anyway, please don’t lose somehow, Leicester 🤞🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 (edited) Kane and Son have a good record against us and we will struggle if the game gets stretched. If we can frustrate them and get something late on like we did in 2016 that would be a huge bonus. Important we don’t collapse like we did against Bournemouth because goal difference may be key going into the last game Edited 17 July 2020 by Edingleyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennytwohats Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 Am I right in thinking that we need 4 points in the last two games in either combination to basically guarantee top 4? I think the only situation that doesn't hold is if United win by 3 goals more than we do in the next game and then we draw - which in practice would mean at least a 4 goal margin win for them against West Ham - not impossible but not likely. 2 or 3 points might well be enough, but we'd need other results to go our way. A win against Spurs would be a huge step forward - match the levels of the win last night and we have a good chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 Same starting XI for me with a similar bench, only question mark is whether Wes' legs will hold up in the short period between games. As harsh as it sounds Barnes should start ahead of Gray. Always feel that if Gray has a decent game off the bench, he usually starts the following game but plays poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fate is firmly within our own grasp.

Lay out the red carpet Mou It's a wonderful presumption, but in typical Mourinho fashion, I think he's already stated that getting Spurs into the EL will be an excellent achievement.

The pace and guile of Kane, Son and Lucas/Bergwijn will definitely stretch the legs of our Back 3 of Bennett, Wes and Evans in a manner the plodding burly Blades forwards didn’t. Nonetheless, I remain quietly CONFIDENT of a Foxes victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 Worry about Morgan playing again so soon having not played for god knows how long but we have no choice but to go with same team. Back 3 will hopefully protect Morgan, we were much better at protecting the box with the 3 in there yesterday. Evans also much more comfortable on the left of the 3 than Soyuncu was. Bigger test for Thomas We can cause them problems on the counter, we've played well there in recent years but came away with nothing. But knowing Mourinho he will probably sit back, let us have the ball and pounce on the break. Kane has a great record against us. Opportunity for us to put the pressure on the others.

Guest Danny Clender Posted 17 July 2020 Share Posted 17 July 2020 Play like the Sheff game and we have a chance of not losing. I'd say, maintain that line up with a review for either Barnes or Iheanacho starting with Vardy up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
