GordonS Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Baptiste Bourgeois said: The annual Brenny Spring time collapse is here. Not finishing top 4 this season or last after the position they had themselves in is shocking. FWIW, there's not been a general fall-off in Leicester's results this spring. Assuming they don't turn it round this will be their 9th loss of the season, with the first 5 of those being in their opening 13 matches. They lost 3-0 at home to West Ham in October. Since the start of March they have 7 points from 5 games, with the two defeats being today and last week against Man City. This'll be the third time they have back-to-back defeats, having done that twice in their opening 2 games. They might still have a spring collapse but it's not happened yet.

West Brom, Southampton, Palace, Newcastle coming next. I think they'll be fine in terms of avoiding a collapse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only took 9 points from their 9 games after the resumption of the league, but they only took 8 from 8 games before the break, and 15 from 13 (though that includes defeats to Man City and Liverpool). Maybe fairer to say they're strong starters than weak finishers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe fairer to say they're strong starters than weak finishers? I can't remember the details, but I have a memory of the time that they had a few injuries. Part of the problem is that there simply always MUST be a narrative. The Leicester narrative becomes Spring Collapse. We've seen it at various points this season. Spurs were the best team in the world a few months ago and Man City were shite with Pep finished. Now Spurs are shite, Jose is finished, this City team is Pep's greatest work etc. Man United have been amazing and shite at different parts of the season. Fulham have been a laughing stock and brave heroes. It comes from the media and the need for clicks and constant attention, but I wish people would just take a slightly wider view. Amazing how many times this season I've heard on radio or podcasts very definitive statements about a season that isn't finished yet.

Leicesterlichtie Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I find that Leicester don't seem to do as well when playing a back three instead of a four. Also, Maddison is a huge miss in the final third if the pitch. Having said that, still over achieving as other bigger name clubs have been less consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 This is an incredibly dull game of football. There's just nobody willing to try something risky or out of their comfort zone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Giving a foul for a silly wee hand-off like that is bad enough, but actually deciding that not giving it constitutes a "clear and obvious error" takes the biscuit. A million miles away from the type of incident that VAR was allegedly being brought in to prevent. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A million miles away from the type of incident that VAR was allegedly being brought in to prevent. It's absolute nonsense. Son only got hit in the face because he was trying to pull McTominay back! I dont think VAR is necessarily the issue, but its continually highlighting how poor refereeing standards are and how much poorer the law makers have made the game. Every single game has some nonsense decision it seems. The moment it gets brought in up here will be a dark day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry94 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Ref should have sent of McTominay following the review...It should have been a Man Utd free kick, Son committed the first foul by brushing McTominay lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
