But every season the blind Keep waffling on, & on & on.....!!!! And the top 6 Keep rolling on...... Its like watching "Eggheads"....once in awhile they slip & kanter....but when it counts reliable form & Quality wins outs.... Oh.. I dont like Chelsea as a club. But I respect they have quality running through their club & squad,where weakness are Offset then by others quality. The same for Manutd....Plus both have 2 young Good serving managers who have higher probable potential... That depth in squad quality and the traditional Cache of youth is underestimated every season...... One reason ex-player pundits are disliked..is their Projection of reminding us on every sitting Panel of that fact..!! Never directly but insinuations.... Like it or not their all round Quality and ingrained mental discipline is better....Therefore their mistakes and Slip ups more enjoyable.... Thats Why the Wolves, and the Leicesters ( and from some areas..Yes The Spurs) are enjoyed by the neutrals... Four of the usual 'top six' really weren't any good last season. It's only because of teams blowing it (mainly us) that they got away with it. They aren't good teams at the minute. Only two teams in this league are top class although to be fair there's a good case for them being the two best teams in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got out of jail this season because of a global pandemic, more help from VAR than any other team and a record-breaking number of penalties, and they still only got the same amount of points that they achieved the season before. The fact that this was viewed as a success just shows you how successful the people there have been in lowering standards. 100% truth. I've come to absolutely loathe them this season. Just nothing likeable what so ever. At least Liverpool you can admit for all their flaws are a very good team. Manchester United finishing 3rd sums this season up.

Leicesterpool Posted 10 August 2020 Share Posted 10 August 2020 Lockdown probably saved Ole's job, I mean before then United looked nowhere near good enough for a top four finish. However come pre-lockdown United somehow looked one of the most fit in the premier league. Had the season never paused then United would have likely still finished 6th or 7th and Ole would have been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were going on about that performance at the time but a one off cup game is totally different to a league game. Lets not forget they still lost as well, to an Arsenal side in real disarray at the time, I remember plenty saying Leeds could win that and they didn't. I do think they'll stay up but there's a lot of rubbish being written about them - not that it's unexpected. Wolves definitely had a better team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 10 August 2020 Share Posted 10 August 2020 I wonder if we will see the return of Maurizo Sarri to the premier league at some point this season, didn't do to badly when he last managed in England guided Chelsea to a top four finish aswell lifting the europa league. His style of football though never seemed to warm to the Chelsea fans. Where he would go I'm not sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re going to need serious investment to break the top ten. Tempted myself to back Palace to go down. Odds will be ok, and they’re in a bit of free fall. Potentially losing their one match winner, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 Could be a make or break season for our long term ambitions. We have established ourselves as the best of rest, and will be taken seriously next term, but we have to kick on and cement that position now. At the start of last season, I like many others were excited by the potential of our young squad and thought it a good shout that we could displace one of the traditional top 6 with Utd, spurs and Arsenal in disarray and Chelsea with their transfer ban. We achieved that and more. This time around though, it will be tougher as UTD and Chelsea have both strengthened, Liverpool and Man City will remain a country mile above the rest so, with a bit of strengthening this summer I think it will be a straight fight for the Europa places between ourselves, spurs, Arsenal and Wolves, with possibly Everton joining in. A lot will depend on the business we do this window and how the players, and management, respond to our poor form during the run in of course but anything less than top 6/7 finish and a decent showing in the cups will definitely be a step backwards. We must not have a repeat of 2016/17. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 August 2020 Share Posted 11 August 2020 Leeds are an ok side, they would have done much better had they had a striker who could actually finish chances though. Talk of them being as good as Wolves is ridiculous, if they finish 15th they'll have done very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must not have a repeat of 2016/17. Great post! Very much agree with everything you've said and I think that's how the club will view things too. Internally they will now be expecting European football of some kind every season and if we don't hit those targets, they've not been shy to make controversial changes if needed. I think the first 5 games of next season are crucial. We ended on a terrible run and often teams that end badly start the next season badly too, ad vice versa. I felt Rodgers coming in at the end of last season gave us much needed end of season momentum to propel us into this season, and somehow we need to recreate that effect. Signings I think are crucial this window. Looking at Man United, the Bruno Fernandes signing transformed their season. We might not be able to sign someone of that calibre, but for example Youri Tielemans initial loan spell gave the club a huge lift. I feel like if we sign just one player who could hit the ground running it would make all the difference.

I actually Enjoy football...und I Dong agree with the " one-eyed-jacks". That only See Football from their Bias View points..!! The Manutd & Chelseas had their problems..but they still played an high % of Quality football....I I will Never agree with that regular every season Lazy dropped sentences insinuating that this or that period of the PL isnt so good....Sorry but bollux!!! The "also rans" have got stronger,they do Play better football..but also clubs like M.City or L'pool can still run Away with it.....Go Deep into any season and underlying injuries, major known injuries,irritating injuries does make a difference to most teams...the bigger clubs for any given period can usually carry Injuries and loss of Form simply on all round quality in depth of their squad far better than the clubs Chasing their own new aspirations.....I The big clubs have & will easily find young bucks from their Youth squads,to hold or take them further through " their" clubs troubled periods.... Since the begining of the PL...I find lower clubs Standards have improved,I dont cynically go Chasing negatives,I look for The positives... & there are more every season.....The easiest thing chasing negatives,is being content that everything is crap....being blind or just not wanting to see the good moments,the good football being played...Best example is this forums Proven negative attitude to every Single player who has worn the foxes badge.. From Vardy to Chilwell.....First tell the World to look where they are Making mistakes, but ignore their avg.-Good-Great moments...!!! Leicester will always be my team, but my perspective of Football outside their Elter-skelter form stays positive,and I enjoy Today Football just as much or better Than the 50s,60s,70s---2014s...
