Do you ever have ANYTHING positive to say?

Odd as I ooze positivity, just not for Saturday's match minus Dunk and Webster.

Naturally if we were to win I'll be saying it was all reverse phycology, but strictly between thee and me, that will be me being Mr PantsOnFire.

Leicester, as you rightly say, are one of the best attacking teams in the league. If our defence is over-run it’s doesn’t necessarily mean that Duffy, Balogun, or whoever is playing there are rubbish. Our first choice defence may have been over-run as well.

My bet is there will be a few goals around on Saturday but I don’t think they will stuff us. If we play well we can beat them.

Our possession based style may challenge them, as long as we don't over-commit forward and get done on the break.

The games we have been winning Webster has been very good, Man Utd found it relatively easy to push Dunk and Duffy deeper and we ended up defending like last season. Have to agree Webster is a big miss.

Yeah, I think we're there for the taking, on Saturday, more so than the week after v Liverpool.
Our players missing works exactly in Leicester's favour, c'est la vie.

So far this season, I've read quite a few posts along the line of 'loving the 'new' team ethos, but I'm sure we'll get stuffed along the way'.


It'll be interesting to see if that hypothetical notion ( I agree with) holds up in reality.

Not every game is gonna be Spurs at home.

Yep, although I’m hoping to be very wrong I do see two stuffings coming up in the next two games, these are games where the CH mantra was 100% the way to go :down:

Go on, prove me wrong that our ball retention push up style is suited to these games.

Knocking it around at the back between Ryan and the defenders whilst being closed down could get hearts properly fluttering

I think we all know that this type of game could be the achilles heal in Potterball, especially with key players missing or not 100% fit.

Most of Leicesters points have been picked up from teams in the bottom half.Same as Chelsea.I don't think we should be too afraid.

Our record against Liverpool under CH would say otherwise ...

Pl 4, lost 4, goals for 1, goals against 11.

However I do believe some caution is required ....
