Players like Morgan and Huth are having the season of their careers, everything has just fallen into place for them and they will win the league and deserve it, but even the most avid Leicester fan ( other than Arro who is just a muppet) will admit that they are punching above their weight at the minute.

we went to their place and had 59% possession and more shots on goal.

people are making out that they are invincible when they are far from it.

No-one is saying they're invincible. Just that saying they'll get tonked is stupid

That comment alone shows that you don't understand how Leicester play

'Palace is a prime example of a game we could have, and should have scored at least 6.'

Please explain? Because we had chances that we didn't score we should have scored more? We didn't largely due to Palace's keeper having a very good day but let's just dismiss his great performance shall we and assume we should have scored more. If we should have scored more we would have, that's how football works you idiot.

It's crazy, Leicester are just 3 points from winning the league and fans still dismiss them, unreal.

Our in game management is top drawer and we back ourselves defensively. You'll have to play through our two banks of four and will be forced out side to deliver balls into the box for Huth and Morgan to get rid.

There will be no space in behind and the fact you don't create many chances you'll struggle to break us down. Arsenal struggled at The Emirates and we only had 10 men. The best hope United have is a penalty or a red card 👍

Finally someone's admitting that all they've done is park the bus and be clinical on the break!

No chance of a pen or red card helping United, Leicester have had 10 season's worth of luck in this one.

Deserve to win the league, nothing special when I've seen them play though, just effective. Hope we batter them but can't see it. A scrappy 1-0 will do, preferably a Rooney goal in the 95th minute

here he is.. Mr Angry

put you fecking ovaries away you muppet.

im an idiot because i have an opinion??

someone quite clearly didnt get enough love as a child... or perhaps too much

it is strange though how when De Gea has a world class game, we got lucky... yet when its the other way around....

posted on 26/4/16

When have I ever suggested it's luck if de Gea makes a save, you've just completely made that up? If a keeper plays well and makes good saves then why ignore it and say goals should have been scored instead?

You seem to make excuses every single day, the desperation is ridiculous. And then you get all defensive and call me angry and use smiley face emojis.

We won't spank Leicester because they are a great side and very well organised, equally we aren't that great and don't score many goals. There is absolutely no logic to suggest a spanking will occur. But be my guest, dream away.

Thing is 1982, football doesn't always follow the logical path.

We don't park the bus, we play counter attacking football, back ourselves defensively and utilise our pace. When we break we have four or five players bombing on but when they do we have players who sit in. Everyone knows their job and they do it very very well.

And that's precisely why a United win at OT isn't a foregone conclusion. We're the most difficult team to beat in the league and are top because we're the best team in the league 😉

You're right it doesn't but it more than often does. But for people to have 'a feeling' is nonsense, who are they, Luke Skywalker? We can win the game, we have a very solid home record, but it's build on being defensive and getting the odd goal. Equally Leicester have the best away record and as the table shows they're the best team in the league based on a combination of a very solid defence and a far superior and more effective offensive game than us.

If it was City or Chelsea top of the league by 7 points coming to OT needing a win to win the league the atmosphere umong united fans would be so different. And that's what I find slightly insulting towards Leicester, still to this day opposing fans don't really give the respect Leicester deserve.

Spot on 👍

We're Leicester City and people still think we're the team we have been throughout our history which is just wrong.

In the last 44 games we've been beaten four times, failed to score four times and we've won 29 but we're still shiittt

Leicester are a great side?

have a day off

Leciester are having a great season and this will probably be the biggest shock in modern footballing history, but to suggest they are great side is crazy.

posted on 26/4/16

Yeah I even class myself in that category of waiting or the Leicester bubble to burst. Or for them to get found out.

Time's running out though

I respect what Leicester have done in the last year and hope they go on to win it.

However, if City/Chelsea/Liverpool were coming to OT under the same circumstances I would still think we could win.

I reckon most on here would say that United have underachieved this season but if we played to the best of our ability, as individuals, we are better than Leicester. That may not be the case against a City/Chelsea so that is why perhaps people are thinking this way.

That is not discrediting Leicester at all as they have been the best team so far this season and good luck ti them for that.

Leicester get the credit they deserve. But in my OP you can see that I think it's weird Leicester would not be coming to OT as favourites like Arsenal, Chelsea or City would if they were on the brink of the title.

really?

I would only have martial and maybe de gea in the leicester squad currently. Leicester are stronger in near enough every position.

Leicester are 12/5 to win. Not amazing odds and about the same as Arsenal or City when they go to OT.

You should put a bet on Utd to win 4 - 0 as it's 50/1.

posted on 26/4/16

I think well get a draw, thats about it.

Yes really if they played to the best of their ability IMO.

However, and credit Leicester for this, they have been outstanding this season and United (as other teams) have underperformed.

What are you judging that on "the best of their ability" and more shame then if utd players dont do that.

You cant even argue that a year ago these leicester players were nobodies because most utds players a year or two ago were nobodies or having mares...martial was unknown,lindgard, rashford, smalling, fosu mensah...I mean you still play players like blind and fellaini(who was really good against everton in fairness)

If Barca play at their best they will win every game in a season

are you saying smalling was a nobody or having a mare last season

also you do realise that Blind has been a integra, part of a back 4 that has the second best defensive record in the PL.

Martial was playing in the CL last season for Monaco.
