Leicester-The Worst Reigning Champions Ever?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Would like to see Sunderland and Hull staying up, I just like those clubs, Hull have a fighting chance but Sunderland are all but crushed after last weekend I think. Silva deserves a lot of credit for what he has done already at Hull.

Boro never seem to win games, but will probably nick enough draws to stay up.

That would leave any two from Leicester, Palace, and Hull.

As I said, would like Hull to stay up. Even though I have nothing against either of the other clubs, the relegation of the reigning champions and the Allardyce roadshow would be quite something in the same year.

But if I was a betting man I would say Leicester, Hull, and Sunderland for the drop.
 
Leicester's next 4 fixtures are the RS, Hull, Arsenal, Hammers. Not too many points there.
Hull play Burnley, Leicester, Swansea, Us.
Palace play Boro, West Brom, Spurs, Watford
Sunderland play Us, City, Boro, Burnley

Certainly tight
 
I'd love it if they went down to be fair. Who would you have, if anyone?

Mahrez hasn't done anything this year but there's a player in there.

I'd take young Chilwell in a heartbeat, and be tempted by Slimani who I suspect would suit our style nicely.
 

Burnley - 30 enough home points to come, some winnable away
Watford - 30 may slip down but almost certainly ok.
Bournemouth - 26 vulnerable
Swansea - 24 on the edge but going in the right direction
Boro - 22 would be very worried
Leicester - 21 not up for the fight
Hull - 20 have battled all season - may yet survive
Palace - 19 struggling, really struggling
Sunderland - 19 in deep trouble but usually find a way

I think Boro, Leicester and Palace are looking the worse for wear at the moment

Bournemouth, Sunderland, Hull, Boro, Leicester, Palace.. bottom 6 15-20.

...the two CBs were more than 'efficient' last season, Drinkwater got into the England set up, Mahrez has been voted one of Africa's best players, the new lad in midfield is a prospect as is Gray and the keeper was linked to a few top clubs. They won the league last season, it can't be down to Kante alone.

Have you seen the clip of their defence all season ? I wouldn't have Huth, Morgan or Simpson at Sunderland, Mahrez has lost his Mojo, Grays end product is pretty crap Albrighton looks like the player Villa released Drinkwater reminds me of Gavin McCann and to that Vardy looks like a non league player again they'll be right in the mix to go down come May

..exactly but there's clearly something very wrong to make a title winning team so bad. By the way, they won at Goodison a few weeks ago in the FA Cup.

That doesn't count we decided not to do cups this year! The only reason I can come up with losing to them is that the players must have all agreed that it's nice to have a few weekends off. Bit of shopping or watching the team that they let win go through a series of comfortable matches. (Or what should be a series of comfortable matches anyhow)

Kante was incredible for them last year. Shielded their defence

..he was Mate. Kante was my player of the year last season but he alone can't be the reason for such a demise. I'm sure teams have sussed them out (not playing a high line for Vardy to run in behind) but more than anything it's not a happy camp. Something seems very wrong.
