Leeds (A) pre match thread

[SecretPro]

Don't want them doing the Double over us, will never hear the end of it. They'll be giving it 'best team in the division' for eternity after that. 

[HybridFox]

Will absolutely take a draw but we can't go there and park the bus. Else we'll be destroyed

We’ve got to pick ourselves up and beat these. 

It not going to be easy  let’s hope

[mowmacrefox]

We ain't winning this one. 😂

[Tommy Fresh]

Possibility of some complacency from Leeds going in to this, on a good run and seeing us lose today

[Kierzz]

I will take a point. They will play more expansive than Middlesbrough did today so hopefully we can take them.

 

Also KDH, Mavididi, Fatawu should be fresher after being subbed early today and we need them all performing to win this match 

[It'sblueupnorth]

We’ll lose this

I won’t be able to cope with the bed wetters on here if we lose this and still only have a six point lead at the top 

Yeah I think the stress of the last time we had leads and lost them is stuck in peoples minds. It’s never over until it’s over. Damn you Rodgers and the mental scars! It shouldnt happen in any league at any time. 
 

I agree with you though. The two CL/EL battles we lost we went on horrendous runs. Not fit for the battle. The gap we’ve built up is for results like this, so we are not dropping on a bad result. Instead, even if the worst happen and we drop to a 5/6 point lead, we should have the gap to build it up again.

This is what champions and successful teams are made of, games like this. Despite all of our excellence this season, we haven't shown quite as much prowess in the big games. By no means been poor but we're still one massive result from being the real deal. 

 

They should all be relishing this, got to have the aggression and belief to take apart a relentless force at the minute who just don't lose at home. Go and do that and we deserve everything. 

[EastAnglianFox]

About time their front 4 have an off day....even if they do they aint conceding many either and under the lights hope our lot are mentally ready...tough tough game

[Brooksy]

Think they'll do us 2/3-0. We'll bounce back against QPR though.

It's a curious one, the psychology does change ever so slightly. We've not been a team that's been written off much yet, nor have Leeds really been a team that's very close to positioning themselves as strong favourites to clinch promotion.

 

That's now becoming a near certainty and it could get to them. Farke though is a very astute manager in situations like this at this level, but we owe his team one for sure.

I 100% agree with your take, but I just dont think we are ruthless enough to think that way, I really thought we were going to give Borough a match at home today, it kind off confirmed to me we dont have a ruthless enough team approach, with that mentality hope I'm wrong

I’m loving the confidence 

[jonny_wright]

This just feels inevitable unfortunately, they will drag us back into the scrap! But let’s just hope it’s a smash and grab, cause without Ndidi we just don’t do well vs the top 6 at all

[LCFC-92]

Regardless of today's result, Leeds are very good at home and with their form, and seeing us drop points today, I think they'll be all guns blazing.

 

3-1 Leeds.

[Pliskin]

Absolutely zero chance we get a result here. Their inconsistencies aside, 11 v 11 they’re a better team than us. They will turn is over comfortably. It then becomes a test of if we can do enough to stay in the top two. I think we’re going to fall out of form just at the wrong time. 
 

4-0 Leeds.

[KingsX]

Leeds pretty strong favorites.  Let's see how we perform as the underdogs.

 

[Leicester_Loyal]

I would snap your hand off for a point here.

 

In reality I think they beat us, hope I'm proved wrong.

[rn9013]

Certainly not a must win in any shape or form. Our lead has allowed us the breathing space to have a blip if need be. 
 

However, it does make Friday a huge game for both sides, even more so for us after today’s result because if we lose again we’re really back in the mix. But, if we win for me it seals it. Big game. 

[peterborofox]

Honestly I have a lot of fear for this game.

 

They're not even conceding goals nowadays which has always seem to be an issue for them despite good attacking play. 

 

I just worry the atmosphere there and style Leeds play with will be too much for us. 

 

I hope we go there and play our game at our best level. A point would be ok, but I'm not confident at all

4-0 Leeds.

Bloody hell what is wrong with people.

[ARTY_FOX]

We don't NEED to win, Leeds do which is a big point like when we played them at ours. 

 

Play our game and we win though. We're a better team. We have too many fans with a loser mentality when it comes to leicester. We're the best thing this crap leagues ever seen. 

[Bert]

Would take a point. But we are gonna win this 1-0. 

[trabuch]

It will be a tough game, but I'm really looking forward to it. I want to see how we do against a side that will be expecting/needing to beat us, for a change.
