weller54 Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 (edited) Looking forward to this. Close game, but fancy us 1-0. (Home.. not away!!!) Edited 9 January 2021 by weller54
Sir Shep Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 I always think that we should improve on our last performance at the same ground last season, so unless we score 10, well er Brendan out! 1
sdb Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Tough. Very tough. If we're at our best, we'll win. If not, they'll have us. 1
foxfanazer Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 (edited) Not gonna be easy at all. They have the firepower to punish us if we ain't full on it. We're the better side though so no reason to not play for the win. Got nothing but respect for them for how they've performed so far this season Edited 9 January 2021 by foxfanazer 1
Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 9 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 9 January 2021 They are a really, really good team. Since we battered them, Hassenhutl has done wonders with them and has proved himself to be a brilliant coach. If we ever lost Rodgers, he would be my first pick as a replacement, though most likely Ralph himself ends up at a bigger club! Crazy really how the likes of Arteta, Lampard, Ole are in charge of huge clubs when you have such a great coach like this in charge of a smaller team. I'll go for a score draw, with any result possible. These guys really compete for the game and press hard, so if we are not on it, the game will be lost. We actually lost the game at home against them after the 9-0 win where they simply out battled us all day long. We even got a fortunate goal to take the lead in that one, but they won 2-1 and really they should have won by miles more. At the same time, we are in good form ourselves and playing well. So if they are not on it we can also embarrass them too. Should be a good game to watch regardless I think. 7
Popular Post foxfanazer Posted 9 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 9 January 2021 How many times will the pundits and commentators mention the 9-0? I'm going for a conservative 15 times 3 9

StanSP Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Could arguably be one of our toughest games of the season. 4-1-4-1 which can transition in to a 4-3-3 when required... Kasper Justin - Fofana - Evans - Castagne Ndidi Albrighton - Tielemans - Maddison - Barnes Vardy Need to be out of the blocks quick and if we can get an early goal and then control the game, then all the better for us. They're so organised and functional I think it could end up being quite a cagey game. Hopefully our quality will show on the day like it has done today. 3
Ashley Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Well drilled and aggressive 4-4-2. Will be a very tough game for us next week. Type of game which we nick a goal... Vardy and Under on the break👀

What was incredible though, we had 2 goals ruled out by VAR and both were incredibly borderline IMO, could have won it haha. 1
KrefelderFox666 Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Home game against a very good side. Tough one, could go either way but I think we will play into their cards. We'll struggle to break them down. Leicester 1-2 Southampton 3
winteriscoming Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Difficult game. I do worry about JWP delivery from set pieces and our woeful defending from it. I’d go with Kasper Justin Evans Fofana Castagne Ndidi Tielemans Maddison Perez Barnes Vardy

You look at that side and think wow then you look at the bench and see Ward, Thomas, Cags, Ricardo, Under, Mendy, Perez, Nacho, Fuchs/Morgan (ideally a U23 in there somewhere) and then think we got this. 1
David Hankey Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Well one thing is for certain there won't be a 9 goal difference in the result. I reckon 2-0, 'Up the City'!!
Ric Flair Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 A real test this is, one I am quietly confident we can win. Will be a great tactical game, our midfield is superb right now and that was what cost us vs them at home last season.
LestaAl Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 We really need to win at home but am expecting a draw

Monk Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 I think football will be suspended over the course of this coming week and it won’t go ahead for some weeks. 1

Unless we find another outlet I think we will struggle to open them up.
