Sunbury Fox Posted 9 November 2020 Share Posted 9 November 2020 Just been listening to the Guardian Football Weekly podcast. It's normally pretty well informed compared to most of the media. But there was some Scouse chap on there this week saying that Leicester could challenge the top 4 provided they "don't have too many injuries". Clearly having up to 5 nailed on first teamers out injured for many games this season and still being top hasn't done enough to convince him of the depth of our squad. So many of these people just know nothing about clubs outside of the so called big 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh we've done well with what we have but we wont challenge for top 4 if we keep on getting injuries, only way we can finish there if we're still in the mix early on AND have our keys players come back without having any other injuries to our other players, for example if soyuncu/ndidi/ricardo come back but fofana/vardy/tielemans pick up an injury in the meantime we wont be capable of challenging for top 4 imo, top 6/7 at best so i understand what he means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make a case that applies to any club. I think the point here is the pundit thinks that LCFC will suffer more than others as the squad is inferior without taking into consideration the real situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 10 November 2020 Share Posted 10 November 2020 14 hours ago, Ric Flair said: 5 of his 8 have been penalties but I don't think it's too much different to last season where he would often score multiple goals in big wins that had he not scored as many we still would have won. Remember we are playing 2 games a week, we have injuries to key players that otherwise enable us to be better at creating chances (Ndidi free's up Tielemans and Maddison and Castagne and Ricardo are the dogs tom walls) and the run of tough opposition where in previous years we have seldom had a good result against. I am relieved we are for now at least putting last seasons slump behind us and showing that we can adapt as well as being a bit more Street wise and mentally stronger than we showed last season. Absolutely I'm really pleased the team has reacted the way they have, I'm just worried about how every game is a harsh grind, and it does feel a little like we're skating on thin ice. The attitude of the players and manager cannot be called into question though, they've got stuck in brilliantly. All I'm saying is that I won't expect this level of results to continue, even though I'm very pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 10 November 2020 Share Posted 10 November 2020 Beating this Liverpool team will go a loooong way in making up for the collapse last season. I think we can do it. On our day we are one hell of a team! Besides no better motivation than to remember last season. Foxes can do it and then we can really start talking about being title contenders. Managing our injuries and grinding out consistent performances will be key. COYF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having Mourinho in the Premier League. I think he'll be missed as "the sort of character you don't get anymore" when he retires. Wouldn't want him anywhere near my team, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffs Fox Posted 10 November 2020 Share Posted 10 November 2020 Different players entirely, we know Maddison is a 10 who plays between the lines of midfield and attack whereas Bellingham is an old fashioned box to box midfielder, Think it’s too soon for him but England’s CM options are thin. I’m biased as I’d rather watch paint dry than England play but glad Barnes and Maddison get a weeks rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think individuals can have their form effected by form for sure. what effects a teams ability to deal with injuries is in part the depth of their squad but how well trained the team are, how well the incoming squad member knows his role and how the coaching staff have trained and prepared him. thomas and James are not in the same league as castagne and Ricardo. Big Wes doesn’t have the same physical presence or speed as Cags any more and Iheanacho isn’t as good as Vardy and i personally do not think Mendy is as good as n’didi but he HAS done exceptionally well. but all these players have come in and done very well.. because they’ve been trained well, maintained their match fitness and and know exactly what was expected of them and have been well prepared in what they needed to do. can we keep this up for 20 more games? i doubt it but i don’t think that’s what we are talking here... after 8 league games we are top and also top of our europa league game. we have played back to back games for almost a month now. we are without our 4 best players and have only just had maddison and Vardy back... our manager and coaches deserve all the credit for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
