Administrator Stan Posted January 2, 2021 Administrator Posted January 2, 2021 Kick-off 14.15 Live on Sky Sports VS Recent Form Newcastle - DLLDL Leicester - DDWLW Last 3 Meetings 01/01/2020 - Newcastle 0-3 Leicester 29/09/2019 - Leicester 5-0 Newcastle 28/08/2019 - Newcastle 1-1p Leicester (EFL Cup)
N U F C Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 As you can see, our record against Leicester recently is nothing short of an embarrassment. Not confident at all but I think our players will have taken a bit of confidence from how they dealt with Liverpool. A bit more of the same resilience and a bit more confidence in the final third and you never know, but I'm predicting a defeat.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 2, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 2, 2021 We always used to struggle at Newcastle but it's like the minute we got that one win it all changed, 5 wins in a row here isn't it? I fancy us. I dunno what it is, Newcastle have a tendency to steal points and we have a tendency to drop silly ones, yet for some reason we often hammer Newcastle at their place, it doesn't seem to work on us, not since we took Perez
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 2, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 2, 2021 Fun stat in this game, Ayoze Perez has scored for the away team 4 of the last 5 times we've met, and one of them was for Leicester, playing for Newcastle.
Honey Honey Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised by any result to be honest, except maybe us thrashing them. Everything else I'd consider believable. Most probable is a 2 or 3 goal win for Leicester. I expect we'll probably just send out the same line up as the Liverpool game. With suspended Hayden replaced by Shelvey.
N U F C Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Oh well, here we go again. Last game of a run of City, Liverpool and Leicester. We've already got one point more than I thought we would have, two would be decent, four unthinkable beforehand. Let's see.
Administrator Stan Posted January 3, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 3, 2021 Kasper Justin - Fofana - Evans - Castagne Ndidi Albrighton - Maddison - Tielemans - Barnes Vardy Decent team. Happy with it. Enough in there to get the 3 points I'd say.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 Drab first half. Still think we'll win.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 I dunno what's happened to us in this game. First 10 minutes I thought we looked bright, looked like we were going to go on and win it comfortably. We've fallen very flat.
Honey Honey Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I'd struggle to make an argument to any outsider as to why football is a spectator sport based on that first half. The best I can come up with is there are some haircuts you don't typically see. Anyone got anything else?

First 10 minutes I thought we looked bright, looked like we were going to go on and win it comfortably. We've fallen very flat. Just struggle to break their block down. They close down the space which Maddison gets so he can't ping the balls through to Vardy. Sometimes it's not just us that's bad - it can be the opponents changing things. Having said that, we should have enough quality to break it down eventually. 2 minutes ago, Steve Bruce Almighty said: I'd struggle to make an argument to any outsider as to why football is a spectator sport based on that first half.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 Nice goal that. Thought Vardy wasn't going to get the pass the way the box was loaded.
Administrator Stan Posted January 3, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 3, 2021 Get in! Vardy looked offside. Surprised it wasn't checked.
Administrator Stan Posted January 3, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 3, 2021 Just now, Dan said: About time! Little Wes with the decoy left wing run
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Vardy was offside Remember when VAR was shite but at least it would get offside decisions right? We need new refs these are shite and need to be turned into glue like old horses
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 That is a super goal. What a strike.
Administrator Stan Posted January 3, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 3, 2021 Love that from Tielemans. Nice pass from Albrighton too.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 Two lovely finishes from us. Sign of a good team really, don't think we've been great today but the quality has been the difference - providing we don't totally fuck this up.
Honey Honey Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Goals from midfielders in acres between our defence and midfield. It's basic coaching and preparation that is missing on that front. 4 shots at home after 75 minutes is really naff as per.
N U F C Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Piss poor second half. We’re sat exactly where we finish. If I’m honest I can’t see Leicester finishing top 4 either.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 3, 2021 Andy Carroll scores. Of course he does.
