Hopefully Moyes won’t be playing!

Leicester is still a massive game. Win, and we go above spurs and a point off West Ham who have to go to Brentford (no easy task). Lose, and Leicester are within a game. Feels good to get a couple wins, but this Leicester match is still critical.

This could be a big issue for them. They started the season aiming for the Champions League places, how easy is it to switch focus during a season to surviving a relegation fight?

Exactly.... I am not sure their players will be ready for it. At least the likes of Everton and Leicester have been here done it before etc..... the players, fans, club all know what is needed to get out of danger.

Spuds in freefall maybe not so much.

I also look at their team and I understand a number of injuries, but the only one you would want back is the young defender.

The likes of Solanke and Johnson with knocks have all played regularly recently.

Romero is not very good, neither is their 1st choice keeper. The rest are ok players only.

Relax toffees. We only beat spurs. We're still rubbish

ill wait till hopefully after saturday to agree,
Was a massive win for u lot that against spurs.

If we get 4, then naturally it'lll be time to create an alternative reality where we got 0 and blame Moyes for that.

If we get 0 points from them games then yes moyes and the players and tfg get blame

I think the promoted sides mate, what do you reckon?

i’d tend to agree .. but sometimes you get one that free falls and one that gets out

( I E a random )

we aren’t safe tho what so ever yet!

Might be crazy saying this, but in our position I’d rather beat Leicester than the RS.

not crazy at all, where we finish is what matters.

We're also more likely to beat Liverpool if we've already beaten Leicester and feel like the pressure is easing than if we lose to Leicester and are right back in it

It would be hard for Leicester to come away beaten on Saturday and not have their confidence totally shot to pieces when they see a 9 point gap to ourselves in the table. The derby would become a free hit for us, which is handy as I can see us losing that one easily. Funny how things can turn around so quickly where we could clock up a third win on the bounce on Saturday and be really getting forward momentum, or lose Leicester and the RS and the following game becomes huge to get out of a losing run.

Beat them both. Beat them all. Win the league and rule the world!











I 100% agree with you.

Moyes? Beat Liverpool?

At least he’s done it before with Everton. More than Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, Benitez or Lampard can say.

To be fair he did have significantly more goes than the other managers and with far better teams.

Agree. Get officially safe, then we can worry about everything else.
