KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Leicester match predictions

I know the better team doesn't always win in football, and I agree leicester are perhaps twice as good as burnley this should probably reflect at the end of the season final standings. but if leicester are 10 times better than burnley would you confidently bet for a 5 goal or more win to the foxes when those sides meet (I'm not saying it's impossible I'm posing the question)?

Yes there's much in what you say there chesterville, and wearing my serious hat for a change, I'd say this game could very well be a watershed in our fortunes this season, a win with a good performance in all areas of the team could do wonders for the sides confidence, let's hope the lads step up to the challenge. I also hope Klopp plays his best players in their best playing positions to give them the best chance, with no room for excuses.

that silmani is a top player, should be a cracking game.. 2-0 to us tho..firminio and origi ..no kante makes it easier .

When I said they were 10 times better I meant 10 times better at playing that style of football - counter attacking. The fact we will more than likely play wit 4 at the back and 3 of those defenders I think it will be harder to keep players like Vardy and Mahrez quiet. I expect them to exploit our massive weakness on the left and play Mahrez on the right. They did this a lot last season picking up on teams weaknesses. I expect a draw.

If I were Leicester I'd be playing Vardy and Musa up front, then I'd let us doing all the pressing and just play the ball over the top for the pace of the two players I've mentioned.

However I don't think Ranieri will play both of them and I do expect us to win, 2-1 or 3-1.

Little bit worried to see Lucas at centre half today!

Lucas and Milner in defence. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense at all. Hmmmm. 1-2 Leicester. That defence is shocking.

Yeah I'm worried by our defence. I'd be rubbing my hands together if I was Jamie Vardy!

The left back issue has been done to death but if he doesn't trust Moreno why not replace him? We shouldn't be this short in defence 10days after a transfer window

It's a bit disappointing. hopefully we can surprise them.

Hope shipping out defenders without replacing them won't come back to bite us today, I posted about injury possibilities in our depleted defence a couple of days ago, now I feel like a prophet (and before some shitehawk chips in with 'prophet of doom') I was being quite positive, but pointing to a transfer window fault line, and here we are with Lucas and an unproven signing at the heart of our defence!! I'm just hoping we get away with it, but it's not where we should be after a transfer window where we had money and opportunity but chose not to spend. Not good!
