These same doom merchants are those that were happy with finishing 5th as we are “overachieving” when we were 15 points clear of 5th. 5th was failure. Don't asume I'm a doom merchant! I have the highest of asperations, hence I couldn't care less about this cup. Edited 21 February 2022 by Kilworthfox

Randers manager was quoted after the first leg as saying his biggest disappointment was they didn't get any yellow cards. I don't think they are going to be a dirty team but they play in a league that isn't as high intensity as the Prem. So if they are in front of their own fans and expected to be a lot more physical this time around we could be one mistimed tackle from a needless injury. I for one think our league status is more important so it isn't a game to put our best available team out for. It's not disregarding the competition in the sense that we're too good for it, but by that same token we're certainly not too good to not get dragged into a relegation scare. Mid table is about as much as we can expect now. I certainly wouldn’t be going full strength in this game, we should be able to rotate the squad and see these off comfortably. I’d agree with you that we’re not too good to get relegated as well and if we don’t win against either Burnley or Leeds then the league may have to take priority over the next round.

Popular Post Reg Vardy Posted 21 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 21 February 2022 It doesn’t matter who the manager is, what the players do, if you are Leicester City supporter, you always 100% get right behind the team…some of the crap spouted on here, about Rogers and certain players, makes me wonder if we support the same team….. 7

Ward Amartey Soyuncu Vestegaard Albrighton Youri Soumare Choudhury Perez Kelechi Daka ...they are a good technical side, could find ourselves two down quite quickly, we need to impose and dictate this game from the off!!!

Popular Post majaco Posted 21 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 21 February 2022 I would love us to win a European competition.. I don't get the pov that whatever it takes to be rid of Rodgers is worth it. For me the best case scenario is for Rodgersto turn it around. Excuse my positivity bit although this season hasn't been great, there's another season to follow full of possibilities. I would like to approach that season with a European trophy. 14 1
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 22 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 22 February 2022 Said it before but when there was three European competitions, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea didn’t dismiss the Cup Winners Cup as tinpot. They happened to win, extend a legacy of achieving at least something and in the case of all three clubs created moments their fans still waffle on to about now. Because that latter thing is precisely what being a football fan is about. Living the moment. Even well viewed clubs such as Arsenal have only ever achieved two European trophies. 8

All the Rodgers has turned around is the dynasty behind the scenes that Nigel Pearson built. He’s dismantled the medical team that worked wonders for many years. He’s practically made the scouting network that worked wonders null and void by putting his faith in Lee Congerton (we were warned by Sunderland fans that he ruined their club). His failure to address our problems defending set pieces has cost us 15+ points this season, this is not an exaggeration (he blames the “set piece coach” though after “not realising it was a problem”). Players attitudes off the pitch are out of control, it’s bordering embarrassing. Our only positive is that we are exciting going forward and create plenty of chances. Otherwise, everything else is becoming a disaster, on and off the pitch. Paint it however you like but we have been warned by others who have had Rodgers and Congerton involved at their clubs, and the similarities are becoming scarily accurate. We need rid before it’s too late. 6

Many on here don't realise you have to win through the unknown/unloved before they have the right to even get to saddle that high-horse.. Liverpool had years of 2nd tier European football, Man utd have had some of it since Fergie left, Arsenal since Wenger left, Spurs i'd say have had more seasons of 2nd tier European football then top Tier, the only 2 teams that have consistently finished in the CL places for the last 8 years are Chelsea and Man city, an even Chelsea had an off season where they finished 10th or something. If we do make Champions league, and I expect we will at some stage, the probability is that it will be followed by 4-5 years of non champions league football. I never bought the argument when fans were saying we would never play in the CL again after this, but I also am aware that when we do make CL again, much like our league win, it will be harder to re achieve as £100 of Millions will be spent at Man utd, who are the team that are most vulnerable to missing out. I agree entirely with above point. 2

Seems that some see the Europa Conference as something worth having in the trophy cabinet? It doesn't add up to me. We are not a club that can turn our noses up at any kind of trophy, let alone a European one. 16
Grebfromgrebland Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 I think we should concentrate on not being relegated, there's virtually no chance of winning this with the club's that are still in this competition. On current form we're probably about 5th best team in the competition.
Harpenden Fox Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 Well, we have a really big 10 days ahead. Randers and Burnley away, and Leeds at home. Three good performances, and three wins (how easy to type, how hard to deliver), and we're in the next round and virtually safe in the league with the freedom to rotate at will. A humiliation in Randers, and two losses, and we will have dramatically hauled ourselves into the relegation battle. In fact draw, draw, win would do me. We'd be in the last 16 of the Cup, we'd have ended our dismal away run, and kept Leeds well below us. At our best, even with our injury problems and ongoing defensive woes then there is no doubt at all that we can win all three. But let's not pretend any of them will be easy. The squad has to be ready to fight for everything and assume nothing. And confidence is such a fickle friend, ours being so very fragile. I'm nervous already and it's only Tuesday…….
RonnieTodger Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 Who gives a shit about how little money in it brings in. I want to go to Albania and watch Leicester in a European final. 3

Gazza M Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 I fully expect us to win this against very poor opposition. However after that not confident we will get much further. We just don't have the squad for Thursday-Sunday for the rest of the campaign in my opinion.

Guest David Oldfields Gate Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 I'm on the train to the airport, I'm buzzing. This is what sport is all about. If you can't get excited by a pan European competition that ends with a summer time trophy lift then I feel very sorry for those folk. When Tony James knocked that goal in we would of killed to be in this situation now. Make the most of it I say, you never know when it will happen again.
