Anyone who thinks Leicester is somehow destined to get out of this must be letting memories of seven years ago cloud their judgment. This Leicester team is just not good. They have two very good players, but one went off injured today (Barnes) and the other seems to have already mailed it in with an eye on a move (Maddison).
I watched their match today, and Bournemouth (!) absolutely ran them ragged in the first half. And then right at the start of the second, Bournemouth had about three or four glorious, point-blank chances that they completely flubbed, otherwise they would have won more soundly.
Also don’t understand the apparent fear of Jesse Marsch after seeing nothing but memes and jokes when he was managing Leeds about five minutes ago. His style doesn’t seem to fit this Leicester squad at all.
Yes, they have an easier run-in on paper, but they have been the worst team in the league since the World Cup break, and it would take one epic new manager bounce to change that now.
You could see the difference between them and Bournemouth was mostly that Bournemouth’s players expect to be in a relegation fight so they’re well up for it. Leicester’s players are just sleep walking at this point.
