Match Thread Leicester v Manchester United

[fitz]

They're guaranteed at least 1 pen anyway. Rules innit.

2020 has been a mad year. Imagine if we get a dubious pen to beat these? That would top anything.

Headlines around the world. Trump will call it fake news.

Here's one for you negative lot.....

We lose, Wolves win and a 15/16 goal swing and we'll do a Forest and miss 5th place on goal difference.

Weird interview from Brendan. Pretending like he’s not really fussed what the result is. Is he trying to pull or something?

At least the cricket is on for when we go one down. I can switch over rather than just turn it off.

I was interested by “get to the last drinks break and see where we are and whether we need to go all in“. Suggests the tactic is to keep Harvey and Gray for the final 20 mins.

Also shows how much managers are now segmenting the game into four.

Fair ****s if it works, but my confidence in that set up is pretty close to zero percent.

 

[popillius]

Warming up as a back 4.

 

[glyn]

We are going to concede in the first few minutes, aren’t we.

 

[Feriol]

Rodgers' pre match comments worrying. "Get through to last drinks place and see if we need to go all in."

My translation: playing for a draw, then panic if we need to.

Hope it's just mind games.

“We’ll try and get to the second drinks break and see where we are ....”

Bizarre

In which case I withdraw my earlier comments

Maybe he means see how Chelsea are doing?

This is the ref who sent Simpson off against Arsenal for no reason, so could repeat himself here.

Roy Keane not playing up to the Man U achievement
“Man U going to Leicester in the last game to get in the top four. Give me a break!”

 

[sparky79]

I reckon its one of Brendans 4411 in defence. 3511 in attack.
If it goes well it goes well if we get picked off then it could get messy.....
I hope for the former. I fear the latter. Hopefully wolves are snotting chelsea at half time and a result is cooked up. Cant see it...

That's not what he said. He was talking about pressure and that Manchester United should not feel any because they are trying to get into the top four and they are only playing Leicester City. He also said that their players should be showing us why they play for Manchester United and why our lot only play for Leicester.

That was after Richards used Greenwood and Martial as examples of the fact that Manchester United have better players than us.

 

[Brown Nose]

Well Man Utd have set up exactly as predicted so if this is a tactical master plan from BR then so far so good.

Yep. Patronising twat.
