Danizen Posted 19 September 2014 Share Posted 19 September 2014 He was consistent last year. Personally say over the season he averaged about a 7. He's never gonna set the work alight but he brings a lot more to the team than people give him credit for. People’s opinion of him seem to have gone up since he took a wage cut. Maybe they were judging his wages more than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted 19 September 2014 Share Posted 19 September 2014 I’ve been impressed with Leicester all season long. They hung on very well against Stoke last week, although I do feel that Stoke should have taken something from that game. However, I don’t see them taking anything from this one because Man United are starting to get on a roll. They are the team to watch this year because they’ll concede goals and score goals – and Leicester are the same. This should be an entertaining game.

Corky Posted 19 September 2014 Share Posted 19 September 2014 "i've been impressed with leicester all season long" didn't he say we were crap the other week? or was that some other moron of a pundit? He said we'd go down because our stadium was too nice, then he changed when we showed we were actually a decent team, then was worried about how good we were without winning, now we've won we'll lose because Man United are on a roll having won the same amount of matches as us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 19 September 2014 Share Posted 19 September 2014 newcastle join 6 other teams (burnley, qpr, west brom, west ham, palace and hull) as more likely to get relegated than us going on betfair's implied chance graph. we're now 8th favourites to go down. just shy of 5/1 if anyone wants to cover themselves. nearly double in price since the season began. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 19 September 2014 Share Posted 19 September 2014 http://www.givemesport.com/505439-can-leicester-city-upset-the-odds-against-manchester-united?autoplay=on There was only one 2-2 draw in there, but apart from that, a decent read. Could've added some more input on Leicester City, though. Too red for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 20 September 2014 Share Posted 20 September 2014 Nice to see the old "Leicester bought their way to promotion" myth still going on strong in the red café. You seriously think Leicester was put together for a million? You do know Uchoa cost £8m this summer for a start and they basically bought their way to the title last season with the wages they pay players. They are a very rich club these days, their owner is a billionaire. For this reason I don't buy the little old Leicester thing either, that washes with Burnley but not with these. I suspect with the money they have, they'll finish mid table. http://www.redcafe.net/threads/leicester-city-vs-manchester-united-fa-premier-league.393787/page-10#post-16489689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it, benpickoLCFC? Good thing about teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea is that they know next to nothing about us, come up with the odd broad assumption, solely focus on their team and care little about the opposition. It can only work in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have like 8 posts and they're all in that thread, correcting misconceptions and telling them how their academy players are doing now, and they all seem reasonable in that thread. Seem to think that we'll be more of a challenge than QPR were but that they'll edge it out, which is practically the same as everybody on here is saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LvG may have spend much of the early season focusing on his team and worrying less about the opposition because he was trying to get his own team used to playing under a new system, but he strikes me as the kind of manager that doesn't just want his teams to win--he wants them to win convincingly and comprehensively.I hope LvG gets embarrassed tomorrow, but I don't think he will take City lightly.

I hope LvG gets embarrassed tomorrow, but I don't think he will take City lightly. Maybe, maybe not. But if LvG is expecting to steamroller us, then there will be Scholes and Giggs, along with a dozen others to tell him what he needs to know. I'd bet some of his backroom staff know more about our team than half our fans to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox_in_a_Box Posted 21 September 2014 Share Posted 21 September 2014 "I know everything about their team," states van Gaal. "About individual players, substitutes, the atmosphere, everything."
