Leicester City

Sounds just a normal day in the Rodgers household

Improved a lot in style since Rodgers took over. Vardy back among the goals on a regular basis again.
Our hardest away game is going be our visit their. Also think their visit to City is going to be a big game at the top of the league as well.

Haven’t been impressed by them when I’ve watched them this season and just from following results seems like they’ve been overperforming, just had a look and xG table certainly supports that supposition:

No idea how you guys actually thought Rodgers was a real answer, tbh.

Yeah Liverpool, Leicester and Newscastle have had a lot of luck in games this far this season.

Watford haven’t really played that bad so no surprise to see them with 21 expected points or so.

Were you waiting for a moment like this to drop the told you so card?

I think they’ve done what Spurs have done in the past and got a few results together to go on a run (and ā€œput the pressure onā€ so to speak)

They do play a good, exciting brand of football, in my opinion. Even in this game, they haven’t been shit. Just overwhelmed. Vardy scoring from the near post to make it 0-2 would have been game over.

If it wasn’t for Liverpool (stupid argument, if me Auntie had balls, etc etc), Leicester would comfortably be top, and deservedly so.

Lmao, translated as, I haven’t watched them at all but some stats website shared something and I’ve read it and now I’m going to make myself sound superior.

Rodgers has taken Leicester from the bottom half to kind of title challenging whilst conceding the least amount of goals in the entire league after selling their best defender and having a young team.

Only time I can remember Leicester having luck this season is against Spurs.

Liverpool have had it in spades, though.

Yeah he’s done a great job, I’ve watched them and they have been very efficient though, I don’t think they’ll keep picking up points at the rate they’ve done throughout the first half of this campaign.

Or, I’ve watched them twice (against Arsenal, and today) and followed their results loosely, and it ā€œseems like they’ve been overperforming, just had a look and xG table certainly supports that supposition:ā€

No need to be a little triggered bitch all the time m8

Maybe luck wasn’t the right word, they’ve been remarkably efficient which will be hard to sustain over the whole season.

Yeah, if anyone sounded triggered in this interaction, it wasn’t you.

He has a reason to be arrogant, he’s right all the time and is usually wrongly chastised by fanatics blinded by their Arsenal bias, instead of using logic and common sense.

In order to be truly happy, find yourself a partner who rates you as highly as Treble rates Cuellar.

ā€œHe’s right all the timeā€

Jesus wept. Wenger won us two doubles and I didn’t gargle him as deeply as the above.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahhahahahahahah.

Omg that’s the best thing, thankyou I’m glad I woke up to that.

didn’t know they had a Bengali brother playing in the PL.

Nice to see.

Strange that there’s basically no footballers at the top level originally from the subcontinent, when you’ve had many many Black players.

Maybe they don’t play it much on the sub-continent, as they’ve had more cricketers break through. Ambitious Asian families tend to prioritise education over sport too.

People from the subcontinent are high achievers in basically every field - for example you will see Indians being the best doctors in their field, the best scientists, in top executive positions for big corporates etc. but there are barely any achieving the same in football.

From personal experience, it is a cultural thing but I do think attitudes are changing. However, I find it astonishing that there isn’t even one Sikh guy in the past 25 years who has made a single appearance in the PL. There’s always one turbinator killing it in any industry / field you can imagine, but not football.
