ajthefox Posted 23 July 2020 Share Posted 23 July 2020 I just want a good performance and a proper shift from the lads. I've pretty much given up on us getting CL at this point for my own sanity, I just want us to give our everything so that we can at least be proud of how we finished. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvaldo Posted 23 July 2020 Share Posted 23 July 2020 I gave up CL hope about 4 games ago. Mainly for my own mental health. It’s the hope that kills me. I get all up for it and then they let constantly me down. I feel like an RSPCA dog. Battered. Wounded. But I’ll never stop loving them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly closer to Manchester 😄 Really strange choice for him, all his family are in Cov and he plays and trains in the centre of Leicester. The picture he posted on instagram today of him and Chilwell is from his apartment he had/used to have in Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 23 July 2020 Share Posted 23 July 2020 You guys digress lol. Couldn’t care less where Maddison lives or the size of his mansion although suprising he could find anything in Leicesteshire! I’m all spent on the forumns have to switch off now until Sunday. It’s too much anxiety otherwise won’t get sod all done in the house. see you lot then and hopefully it’s a bloody good day for the Foxes and Wolves.

We've got to be aware of the soft manulty aswell. Don't give the ref the choice of giving it! Crock Fernandes on the half-way line with a sneaky leading foot in the opening minutes - got it.

More to the point, who the fook is Steve Nicol and why does anyone care what he thinks? My understanding is that because Liverpool finally won the premier league (in a year so shit that 2 horribly inconsistent sides with relegation form for large portions of it can battle it out final day for a top 4 space with both sets of fans having zero faith in their own shite team, and unbelievably still both dribble over the line into top 4 with a shitty point each due to the other side being even worse and losing)..... And due to that MASSIVE achievement, this fat ****ing no marks opinions are deemed relevant, alongside that of Jan ****ing molby {who unbelievably actually has more credibility!)

You very rarely get anywhere being nice. That's why he flops on all the big games, too much respect. Sometimes you have to be an arrogant shit. For all of his niceness, I'm pretty sure being an arrogant shit is not something that hasn't been laid at his door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could indeed be an odd, stilted sort of game unless and until it gets to the hour mark and the results from Stamford Bridge show we need the win. Don't give them a choice. Boot it long and make the ****ers run, then try and pass it round while we sit back, get a toe in... Then boot it long....

Popular Post Jimbo Posted 24 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 24 July 2020 (edited) Chatting to united supporting mate (who'd have thought a Man United fan in Leicester......) The onus is kinda more on United than it is us. We need to go into the game and win, it's the only way to guarantee top 4 for us. I'm kinda glad we're not the ones who need the draw. Rodgers has history of getting it tactically wrong in such games, most famously Liverpool V Chelsea and the Gerrard slip. He set up completely wrong for that game and was happy to not lose, it went completely wrong and Liverpools collapse went down in history. He's done the same with us too, the Man U game away is prime example of this. They were there for the taking, we set up wrong happily looking for the draw. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Rodgers is a nearly man when it comes to the crunch. Ole is actually under pressure to get this right, does he set up to not lose?? At the moment we're on our backsides. We're down in the dumps, we've blown a massive lead and bottled it. But wounded animals are the most dangerous. We have to go into the game with a nothing to lose attitude. I'm sure Ole will be putting that across to his team. If it all rested on this game and this game alone, I'd want us to go all out, a bit like the Atletico game. Leave it all there. The trouble is the Chelsea game. If we go all out and get caught out, lose the game and a draw would have done, that's gonna be hard to take. But we can't rely on that happening. I really do think there is more pressure on United than there is us. That all being said, there's probably gonna be a cup final feel to the game, and not one of the good finals. It'll be edgy, tight and a bit poor. I just hope that if there was a reaction to the Chelsea game and happenings going on there that we're still in with a chance. To lose our spot in the top 4 is disappointing enough, I'd hate it if we went out with a whimper and the game ends up being massively comfortable for United Edited 24 July 2020 by Jimbo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickledRick Posted 24 July 2020 Share Posted 24 July 2020 Just joined the forum, timely as a Manchester United fan looking to amicably discuss with other fans on forums! May I ask how you guys are feeling towards the big fixture on Sunday? Ideally we are in a stronger position but the way we've struggled against Southampton, Palace, West Ham and Chelsea, I really don't know anymore. Vardy and Barnes are in particular are huge threats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone in the broader football community is expecting us to win. Indifferent form and 6 players out. But it exactly that that could help us to win just like it did against Sheffield United. Our home form hasn't been too bad with 3 defeats in the last 22 games I think and that includes defeats to Liverpool and Man City. Also I feel a draw will be enough as Chelsea will lose to Wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi It's pretty obvious that both teams can attack very well. Given our injuries and Soyuncu's ban, we hope we can defend on Sunday. We are all a bit wary of United's massive penalty count and also our team has been on the rough end of some awful referee decisions this season. United will spend squillions and be up there in years to come anyway. For us, this is a once in a long time chance to play with the elite. Would quite like Chelsea to be 5 goals down at half time and both teams in our game to be stroking it about for a less than fiercely contested draw. It will more likely be frantic, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my comment right above yours for.my thoughts Just got a feeling it's going to be an edgy, boring and overall poor game. Technically we've got nothing more to lose, we go into the game with everything to gain. There's 2 sides of realism to this for me. Realistically no one expected us to be top 4 at the start of the season, most would have expected us to be there or there abouts for top6/7. We've achieved our goal, to get European football, and can actually go into the game quite relaxed. In the flip side the realism is that we were top 4 and had been for 90% of the season, right up until it mattered. Not only have we just lost that position, we also threw away a 14 point lead to end up where we are. But my 1st point about the realism of the situation is how we have to go into the game. We have nothing to lose, relax, we are where we want to be and put the onus of you boys to get your game right. And I do think there is an element of pressure on Ole to do that. We know what we need to do, win. You boys just need not to lose, that can be a more dangerous thought process. I'm kinda glad in a way that we're the chasers in that respect. I'd feel very uncomfortable if we were a point or 2 ahead going into this game. I think most of us, while disappointed with how the season has ended for us, gave up on champions league a few games ago. I for one, am not too bothered what happens Sunday anymore. I tell you now though, come kickoff on Sunday I'll be sat in my lucky shirt completely bricking it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
