May as well as Maresca doesn't want us to counter attack

And yet it’s a tactic we frequently use to great effect.

Why all the anxiety around Pawson being ref? There are a lot of other refs I'd rather it not be than him.

Looking forward to the game, I just hope Craig Pawson doesn't spoil it.

Of course he will this massive **** hates us, was hoping he retired. I cant remember him having once decent game for us.

Surely not! Bar Mike Dean, Pawson is about as bad as it gets

Apart from all the times we've done it this season...

Tricky one tonight would bite your hand off for a point and keep the gap.

Hamza always seems to attract these sort of comments, no doubt due to his combative style of play. However, it's a bit lazy, repetitive and without reason. Have you checked how many red cards he's had in his career let alone at Leicester? Have you even checked his yellow card tally compared to other Leicester players? 

Interesting point this and I was of the impression that he was probably averaging a yellow every other game as it does feel like he gets booked a lot. Having looked at his stats the last couple of seasons though; at Watford where it felt like he was booked every game, he got 14 yellows in 36 league games (in 3040 minutes played) averaging a yellow once in just under every 2.5 games - this season he's had 2 in in 24 appearances (820 minutes played) meaning one every 4.5 games on average.

Came across a few of their fans on YT and I'm absolutely gagging to smash them tonight. I really don't like Leeds. 

[jayfox26]

Big if, but if we win tonight, I'd say we are as good as up. A draw is a decent result for us as well. Even a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world but we do still have some tough games left, so avoiding defeat here is definitely preferable 

[wardyfox86]

Just want this 1 out of the way (along with midweek) and next Saturday roll around nice and quick.

 

Can't see us getting anything here. Not through playing badly, but at Elland Road against an inform Leeds I'd rather just get it done and move on. Unfortunately, the Leeds fans will be insufferable. So the sooner the QPR match comes around the better.

 

I think we'll be fine whatever the result tonight, but the reactionary football world will have us nailed as 4th if we lose tonight.

They have the entitlement and superiority complex of Liverpool, but without the trophies and history to back it up.

 

We've both won the same amount of major trophies (5).

[trabuch]

I've been feeling very positive about this match all week. Now I am absolutely shitting it. It has the potential to ruin what was otherwise going to be a perfectly decent weekend. I'm still looking forward to it.

[bmt]

Most nervous I've been for a game this season. Excited tho

[An Away Move]

Some of our fans who are irritated that Maresca doesn’t like ‘to do counter attack’ need to stay behind in detention and repeat these lines 500 times,

 

‘We cannot counter attack when we have the ball (70% of the time) but frequently do after winning the ball back’. 
 

or, just open their eyes to what we actually do rather than what said fans think we don’t do 👀 

[An Away Move]

Looking forward to tonight as I’m sure our squad is. This is what it is about. Big games and rising to the challenge of managing your nerves and performance levels. A great test. They are going to be dented if we beat them, which we are more than capable of doing.

The only other ones I'd rather not have (at this level) are Keith Stroud and Gavin Ward. He's in the top 3 of the very worst of the Prem refswith Kavanagh and that plonker Darren England.

 

Bring back Roger Milford!

[cruzFOX]

Remember them in the premier league when we playing well under rogers. It was Bielsa ball at its finest - darlings of the media world with their gung-Ho leg it to the max style?

well we just let them do their thing stole the ball and sucker punched. Made them look like headless chickens. We destroyed them at the end! I’m hoping we do the same tonite. COYF! 

[Leicesterpool]

Arrived in leeds, little nervous about this one.

Didn't give offside away at Portsmouth play off semi! 

 

Tbf, it was utter confusion as either Oldfield or the Big O (I forget which)  deflected the ball goalwards in a fashion that even Ipswich would struggle to recreate

[CosbehFox]

I understand sales of Tena male products have gone through the roof this week in Leicester. 

[Foxmeister]

I think the rewards of victory outweigh the damage of defeat. Go and give 'em hell boys!

[Marmite]

3-1 to us tonight. We will go 2-1 up and Vardy will come on and seal it in the 90th minute 💪😎🍺

[Tommy Fresh]

Someone sent off tonight I reckon, probably one of ours when the ref lets the crowd get on top of him

Same, right bunch of weirdos. The Enzo comment has rattled them to an embarrassing level. 

[cruzFOX]

For FARK SAKE please Lester give Leeds a good ass whooping so it shuts them up for the rest of the season. Lot of Ipswich and saints fans cheering us on no doubt!
