Wymsey Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 (edited) It's my birthday, today.

The title is a very long shot, with Man City playing how they are. But this season is a real opportunity to declare ourselves as a proper top 6 club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bats8711 Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 I don't understand how somebody can be healthy enough to play for 30 minutes but not 60 or 90. Really makes no sense. I mean, maybe if there weren't numerous recent examples of our players aggravating injuries after getting tossed in at the first possible opportunity, I could see giving the benefit of the doubt. But, that's decidedly not the case. IMO if Vardy (or any player) isn't fit to start, he shouldn't be in the squad. And tbh whenever they think he is fit to start, I'd wait another 1-2 games after that. That said, it's part of the difference in how injuries are dealt with and talked about in European football compared to American sports, so I've learned to scratch my head and move on. Nobody will be as happy as me when he comes on and scores a hat trick of pens in the last 20 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m healthy enough right now to play 10-15 at Premier League pace but maybe not any more than that. I would need to wear leggings though under my shorts and maybe some glove liners beneath my goalkeeping gloves as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same thing as a hockey team limiting the number of shifts, a basketball limiting the number of minutes, an NFL team limiting the number of snaps, or a baseball team with a strict pitch count for a player coming back from injury.

1972 Fox Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 10 hours ago, Ashley said: IF we win tomorrow it will be a massive result. Should we win. 6 clear of West Ham, 8 clear of Everton and 10 clear of Villa. I'd go as far as saying Man Utd bottle the top 4 too. Chelsea nick fourth. I hope you're right but I'm not sure about this. The 'big clubs' have a knack of somehow managing to rise towards the top even when they have been under performing. Arsenal are a recent example, although they have now hit another blip. One game at a time for me but like you say, beating Wolves would be a massive result. If we are looking forward, what is more massive for us would be to win or not lose the Liverpool game next week and also our matches against Man U, Chelsea and Spurs at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 Chance to make a big statement today. Others around either playing each other or have already dropped points. Can we take it? We've been here before and it is almost like the pressure gets to them and we bottle it. Really hope that isn't the case this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 Really not confident of any points now. With Podence out that likely screws our chances of playing 4-2-3-1. If he doesn't go back to safety first with a back 5 then it'll be a 4-3-3 with a flat midfield and isolated wide players, which hasn't worked out well recently.

majaco Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 We are an intriguing watch at the moment. Some of our football is brilliant. Everton were lucky to get a point of us. It was underwhelming watching us v Leeds. Fulham, we were generally pretty good. Is Vardy starting? If he is, is it wise? Is Perreira fit enough to start a other game so soon after the last one? Will I be able to cope emotionally each time we concede a corner? Wil, Cenghis play, if he does will he show what we all hope he can do? What will Wolves bring? They were sterile in the first half last ti e we played them. Is their new striker any good? I am looking forward to it with the trepidation that I have signed up to by being a Leicester fan.
