rijit Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Can't help but feel sorry 4 pierson Can't be denied, it's almost 100% his team and am surprised a championship team ain't snapped him up cos imo he'll so what he did At leicester again. Best he take some media training or spread the interveiws out. Ranniere came into a winning team, fair play to him he's assessed it well and Carried it on. His test will come when a few big or key players leave and he has to replace them. l I''ve said it b 4 the turning point For the leicester last season was signing of Huth, hardly lost since then .A real breath of fresh air if only to show the prem doesn't need to be about huge name big money signings.

Still seems to be peddling it! Its just Claudio's simple but effective way of telling the scribes to go <deleted> themselves with their title talk. Seems to have worked well to this point.

Bredbury Blue Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Rock bottom in March and seven points adrift with nine games remaining at one stage, Leicesters great escape, followed by their remarkable transformation into title contenders, has provided the Premier League with the best story for years. The table for the calendar year has them fourth, with 67 points from 38 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I know you don't need it pointing out again, but the commentator noted that the starting eleven for Leicester cost the princely sum of £17 million and Citeh's cost £309 million. Extraordinary. Someone surely is going to appoint Pearson before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well have to agree disagree but it was bit more than a relegation scrap imo was a remarkable turn around. Took more points in the last 9 games than any other prem team 22, form which HIS team took into this season. last ditch win over wb and earlier a 5 3 spanking of ltd was att , stunning. Cambiosa was an inspired signing as was season changer huth. And the vardy signing,, you say prick,, i say bloody good manager not particularly media savvy.Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Leicester should have been found out by now. They just sit back, soak up pressure and hit fast on the break. When teams allow them possession, make them work their way up the pitch they will not be nearly ass effective. Prime example was last night with Liverpool having 65% possession and being hit on the counter. As much as i admire their achievements this season it will be a sad reflection on the league if they are not worked out and their countering threat nullified.

I'm just commenting really on the overall strategy being based on the counter. And why not, Vardy is the fastest player in the league alongside Martial. I also think Kante and Mahrez, if i've spelt him right, have been outstanding overtime i've seem play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacky54 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I lived in Leics until 2006 but the last time I went to a game was new year, think it was 1969 and we lost 2-o to Fulham, I remember Johnny Haynes was still playing for Fulham. First time I went they had just sold Frank Mclintock. I knew Emille Hesky when he was a kid, used to come in the Burlington pub on Sundays sometimes with his dad after playing for Highfields ranger juniors. I remember his uncle introducing him and said he'd play for City and England one day, he was about 8 at the time, I laughed of course.
