The Race to the Title

Shea · Mar 5, 2016

Mahrez has been sensational and he's produced a moment of shire quality again to potentially win them a tough game they were looking like dropping points in

I wanted us to sign him in the summer since he had looked very promising last year, I'm sure Leicester would have wanted more than we would have paid at the time (but how much is he worth now?)

They are going at it like they want it. Hats off. We ain't winning it so I hope they prevent the goons or City from doing it.

To be fair to them apart from earlier in the week they havent choked when under pressure, so good luck to them hope they win it.

Top 4 was the aim in August, so anything above that for me is a bonus. Points will be gained and dropped. Arsenal still to play City so one or both will drop points that game.

The title is gone for us with our run in and fatigue kicking in, at least Leicester can stop Arsenal winning it!!!

Despite me completely hating their style of football I have to show respect to Leicester, if they win the title they will deserve it, I can't say based on our last two showings that we do at all.

Watford playing well though... wouldn't rule them out just yet. They're probing these last 5 minutes.

Have to agree with you!

If Leicester win this it's theirs. Fair play. Least one of the usual suspects wouldn't have won it!

We aren't good enough offensively this season. That's what is costing us. Alli is superb but we shouldn't be relying on him to get us firing. Eriksen, Lamela and Son, whilst all have had their moments at times, just aren't consistent enough.

Our defence is there, more or less, but we lack that real classy, regular match winner in attack.

Need to remember this is still the youngest squad in the Prem. I would hope this isn't a one off season and we challenge for the title for years from now.

Stamford · Mar 5, 2016

I want city to win it. Vardy is a scumbag

Hazardousman · Mar 5, 2016

At the end of the day, Leicester dropped points last week, we had an opportunity (a rare one given Leicester's consistent form) and we blew it, not once, but twice, only ourselves to blame.

Why we didn't make a signing in January to address this I do not know

Even a loan just to give some support to Kane

West Ham didn't really need Emenike but they loaned him in for example, we were much more in need and did nothing

I hope it doesn't cost us

I think all we lack is a player capable of producing magic regularly and another striker.

A Mahrez/Payet type and Ighalo would make a difference. Would mean we wouldn't have to run Kane in to the ground

Has to be player of the season.

HildoSpur · Mar 5, 2016

Oh Mahrez has pinged his hammy - that's a very big moment EDIT he just recovered somehow - crieky

Up until last week we were top scorers in the league, we are now 2nd highest scorers with the best defensive record. I'd say our offensive play has been fine

Adam456 · Mar 5, 2016

If Leicester win today we're out of it ?

Nonsense

Look at their actual win rate out of last 10 games vs ours

That's not the point. Our general play was quite poor. Ball possession without creating much.

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you. And I wouldn't have any issues accepting that either. Because, firstly, Poch has stated previously that last year was for sifting the squad, this year was getting it to play the way he wants and next year will be for challenging, properly. So, in many ways we are ahead of schedule. And secondly, before the season started, I said that believed we could finish in the top four but, really, I would be happy with improved performances, finishing above Liverpool, and maybe a good cup run. We seem a good bet to do the first two, and with a little good.

I don't think the Goons look any morelike title winners than we do - 1 point from 9 games,

If Leicester win this, tonight, it will be hard for anyone to catch them. But I don't think we'll have any problems finishing in the top four. We just have to take one game at a time and see where it leads us (and endure some histrionics). And now Mahrez looks like he's done his hamstring...
