As good as relegated absolutely ridiculous

apologies for having an opinion, that opinion is based on any points we have we've either obtained by playing 10 men or by pure luck, with the players we currently have, and the manager, i don't see us having a chance, that is unless we pull a huge rabbit out of the hat.

 

i predicted us getting relegated aafter summer 22 window and was probaby called ridiculous then.

Imagining a win  is your best hope, the rest of us here are stuck with reality

Yeah would certainly be a turn up, but remember this used to happen with Puel, Levein etc etc  look to be on their way out and would somehow pull out a result to keep their job, but when you are not the right man or clearly a manager out of his depth, eventually it catches up and the poor runs become longer and the wins become less and less, the players check out of your methods, we are already seeing this with Cooper. 
 

If we win today he will buy himself more time and kick the inevitable a little bit further down the road, however lose and lose poorly with a negative reaction from the fanbase and it could force the club to act quicker than expected.

Tough game. It is a free hit. Get anything and I would be surprised.

It is a free hit now. They're miles ahead of us. 

 

Which is ironic, as when Enzo first went over there, some geniuses here thought he'd be sacked by now. 

 

Simply don't get why people can't see or accept that he is a very, very capable coach. Also proving his worth as a manager at Chelsea, in a high-pressure environment.

Whoop game day.

 

I don't think I've been less excited for a game in ages. Cold, wet, very high potential to see any excitement bar getting beaten by an ex.

Kick off is the same time as the Perth Pride march..... pretty sure which ill be watching, cheering and enjoying.

I don't know if you are serious or just having a laugh or being sarcastic. But you know what? It would be absolutely typical of Leicester City to win a game like this. 😂

I suspect a howling gale and torrential rain will be more of a hindrance to Chelsea's passing game than whatever game we play. Crap weather inhibits quality, which is surely what we want?

howling gales tend to mess more with **** it up in the air ball, which is all that this cave dwelling **** knows how to coach.

Do we get to go home straight after though?

[foxinsox]

A foul day to go see us completely outplayed by our former manager.

 

I hope Maresca gets a good reception as he deserves it. The problems in the club are not his fault, indeed his signings of Fatawu, Mavididi, Winks and Hermansen are rare bright spots in our lacklustre team.

 

Relegation looks nailed on for me, and Cooper needs to go if we are to have any chance at all.

That is so caring thank you

I appreciate we live in England, but I swear it rains on over 90% of our home match days. 

[Noahfence]

Can’t even explain how happy I am I can’t watch the game today. Can feel my mental well-being level rising 

[Lako42]

If the 'gerritfowards' were bored watching Enzos Leicester win every week I dread to think how bored they will be watching Leicester get fisted by Enzo ball.

I think this will be the worst atmosphere since moving to this ground.

'Hard to leave' - but how will Foxes welcome back Maresca?
There may be some unease in the stadium on Saturday after Maresca opted to leave Leicester in the summer after winning the Championship title in his only season at the club.

But he was full of respect and positive about the Foxes, although unsure how the supporters will react when they see him in the opposition ranks.

"I have no idea how they are going to receive me, but I know how I am going to be with them," added Maresca.

"I will be thankful to the club, the players and the fans, because it was a fantastic season. But I cannot control how they are going to receive me."

He spoke of his surprise - and delight - when the players arrived at his home to celebrate after clinching top-flight promotion, describing it as "probably the best present I got last season".

"When I was a player I was lucky to win things but I never thought to go to the manager’s house," said the 44-year-old, whose career included spells at West Brom, Juventus, Sevilla and Palermo.

"I feel very lucky and it shows the connection between the players and the staff.

"It showed how the team was close - the connection with the players. That they could go for parties to a different place yet they all arrived at my home.

"It was a fantastic connection and I will always be thankful to them. It was hard to leave for sure because there was a good connection in terms of human beings."
