VillaChris Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Pretty much a strategic draw there. Newcastle get what they want to make top 4 and Leicester get the point they need to stay up............ Oh. Staggered with the players Leicester have on the pitch how bad they are. That was 15/16 vintage from us out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful tactics from smith in my opinion Thats them down Yep he should have went gung ho away at the team 3rd in the table with the worst centre back in league history holding the fort Newcastle would have put 5/6 past them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 At least that result forces Everton to win their last game if Leicester can take care of west ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s only Everton who can send them down if they win v West Ham. It’s not a great result, but it’s definitely better than a loss. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. That is insanely bad. : / Can't see them beating West Ham in this state, think they'll do a similar job to what they did on Leeds. This draw however does change the dynamics a little bit. If Leicester can get a win then Everton have to beat Bournemouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their staying up is now very out of their hands. I think Everton are likely to win at home to Bournemouth.

Mark Albrighton Posted May 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2023 They could have gone for the win, but the likelihood of Newcastle winning also increases being a bit more open. In that scenario of both teams “going for it”, I back Newcastle to win rather than Leicester. And I bet you do too. If they lose tonight they will need to win on Sunday and hope Everton lose. Not draw. Lose. They’re basically going into West Ham knowing they have to win and Everton can draw as well as lose the game and Leicester will stay up. It’s a risk, but going for the win against a much better team and leaving with nothing was a risk too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted May 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 Seems like some haven't watched Leicester play recently or recognized why they're in the position they're in, Leicester are in peril because they've been terrible defensively conceding too many goals as they've been too attack minded in games, today they did what they had to do to fix than and got a point in a game in which most were saying they would get thrashed in, it was very good battling performance. Point isn't worthless either, if they win and Everton fail to beat Bournemouth then Leicester survive, their chances of survival are now better than than they were, there's no guarantee whatsoever that Everton will beat Bournemouth, Bournemouth have won three of their last four away games so aren't a bad away team, and I think the fact that Everton now have to go for the win will play into Bournemouth's hands as they're a good team on the counter attack. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ignore all the chances Newcastle had Wasn’t a classic. Leicester squad looks dreadful. They could save themselves a year by going down this season as they’ll almost certainly go next year if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
