PaulC Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 1 hour ago, useless said: Leicester's form since Christmas has only been marginally better than relegation form, have taken just eleven points from the last twelve games, they were twelve when they sacked Puel, they're not the kind of club that waits to drop into the relegation zone before sacking the manger. Rodgers will probably survive this season, but if he gets off to a bad start then he'll be at risk of losing his job. Just had a look on 'Foxestalk' and there's a 'Rodgers out' thread, only looked at the first page, but seems a surprising amount of them are in agreement. Rediculous, Finishing 5th would still be a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure before the season but not when they were in the top 4 until the last 2 weeks of the season.

villa4europe Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's the lead and the timing, this year's top 4 race has been shit (again) utd are getting better, Chelsea are getting better, wolves are getting better, at some point spurs and arsenal will stop getting worse This year is a massive year for them and wolves, almost a now or never style push and to have been there for so long and so many points ahead it must be disappointing Bit like Clarke at baggies where they sacked him in the December and people went nuts over it because the year before he'd got them 8th but if you looked at it as a calendar year they'd been **** awful, if Leicesters form continues like this at the start of next year Rodgers will be sweating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Or just flattered to deceive in the first half of the season? I don't think the drop in form for so long can be classed as bottling it, Brentford needing to win 2 "easy" games and the pressure getting to them yep, Leicester losing form for 15+ games? Don't agree Not a clue what we've done to get the bottler tag, the Everton game? We've done that all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keepinv this on topic leicester have blown it big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Bottling it is where you've let pressure and expectation get to you and underperformed That's not what Leicester have done imo They've had red hot form followed by poor form and probably finish in a balanced position Opposite of utd who were poor and are now playing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa aren't bottling it either, even if we fail. Bottling it would be us being safe all season and then losing the last few games to go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
