Vardy is 36 and has 3 goals in 34 league games this season.
The idea of changing our system because of that threat would be unbelievably negative. Brentford set up to hit us on the counter attack with much better forwards and had little success.
Leicester are a side devoid of confidence and they can’t defend. Same system, pressure from the front, dominate the game.
Brentford is mostly about setpieces and bullying defenders, Leicester on the other hand is more quick counters, remember they put 4 past spurs and kept arsenal very quiet also only losing 1-0
The main issue is how we go about our business. We have had plenty of dross this season. If we go back to that, we might come unstuck, especially as Leicester are fighting for their Premier League lives.
If we play to our level, or even close, then we should win it comfortably.
With six wins on the bounce we are back in the top four conversation, or at least on the edge of it. Finishing the season with nine wins is entirely possible. The flip side of that is the law of averages, which suggests that we might lay an egg at some point in there.
But here is hoping. We apply ourselves, hit our level, and just keep winning.
It’s all we can do from this point on. Then what will be will be. Ideally fourth at the expense of Man Utd, but we will see.
I think I’ve seen a study, which suggests that at least for sports, there are a lot more runs than people would imagine. Probably to do with form and the like, unexplainable constructs that serve as placeholders until we have a better understanding of what they are, that helps individuals/teams perform at levels better than expected with a regression to the mean.
I love it. There’s a lot to be said for momentum. Hopefully we finish the season with nine on the spin, and we will see if that was enough to pip Man Utd.
The problem with what we’ve served up this season, for the most part, is that is lingers in the mind, so I’m still not in the place of fully expecting the side to do it! But we are going well right now, no denying that.
Just wondering what happened following Klopp’s last bust up. Wasn’t a suspension in the offing. It seemed to go quite when Klopp disclosed what the referee said to him. Now this.
I wonder if something has been going on in the background?
