Greenlizard0 PL & FA Cup Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 22nd July 2020]

With none of Leicester defenders back for Utd, I can't see how they get even a point next week. A shame for their season to end this way.
 
Rogers with a face like thunder. Would love to be a fly on the wall of their half time talk.

There's not much he can do or say. He's without 3 of his back 4 and his back-ups and Bennett and Morgan - they make Evan's look like VVD. That back 3 against any sort of mobile attack is a car crash but again, he has no other options.

I don't know. If you have a slow and old back line the worst thing you can do is to keep a high-ish line and allow the opposition a lot of chances to hit you on the counter.

This game looks a bit like the City/Arsenal game. One side having most of the possession but getting hit on the break when the other team goes on a counter attack. Leicester haven't really looked like scoring either.

This game is Mourinhos wet dream

In normal circumstances I'd agree but given the situation, they've had to set-up to go and win today, not to sit deep and hope for the best. You have to remember that a loss or a draw doesn't change much for them - they've got to assume that Utd will beat West Ham and at the very least Chelsea are picking up 3 points from their remaining 2 games. Draw or lose and they still need to beat Utd on the final day. Win and they've got one foot in the CL.
 
If United beat West ham by a decent amount Leicester will need to equal that score even if United lose against them. ATM United and Leicester are equal on GD. If Spurs score another United go into 4th without even playing!

No they won't. If Utd win 4-0 vs West Ham their GD will be 4 better but Leicester will only need a 2 goal win to reverse that as Utd's GD will drop by 2 and Leicester's will increase by 2 - that will leave you level on GD but Leicester would be ahead on goals scored.

Sorry yes I was being stupid there!
 
Why don't we have any good young refs. Our "best" refs are middle age men and a few of them are fat middle age men. Pretty embarrassing.
