Leicester beat the teams they need to be beating which means all they need to do is take something from the occasional better sides to get Europe.

We are the opposite and have started winning the "big games" when we used to often roll over but now seem to not be able to mentally get up for the lesser games like WHU, Leeds, Newcastle, Burnley.

Everton that lol

Unfortunately our loss to West Ham at home has allowed Leicester to get ahead of us now. I don’t think we’ll be able to catch them without some significant reinforcements.

A long way to go but we really need to start drilling into the players the importance of taking these sort of games by the scruff of the neck.

We looked like a team who had been out on the ale the night before against WHU, were lazy against an awful Newcastle side and were given the run around by Leeds and Southampton.

Top 6 is in our hands if we smarten up but that means the manager being a bit more cautious as well in certain games - the defensive set up against Newcastle and Burnley for example was daft considering they barely leave their own half.

We can’t handle it when we’re expected to win. We just about scrambled a win against one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Unfortunately for these players, if we want the top positions then we have to learn to be able to play with the pressure of being the favourite.

Also, you never see the likes of Kane, Vardy, Mané, etc go into hiding like the way Richarlison did the other day. Things like that the manager can’t even help.

Get what you mean mate but ultimately playing 3 at the back against Burnley and playing Andre Gomes out wide against Newcastle to try flood the midfield isn't down to a loser mentality.

We were 2nd best against Southampton, Leeds outplayed us although we did have 2 goals chalked off on the night so I can accept them 2 defeats I just cant accept the Newcastle/Burnley/WHU as both the set ups were wrong and the players looked not arsed.

The problem at the club is complacency always has been as we have always had a small or rubbish squad meaning the starting 11 know they can have an off day and still play the following weekend.

Richarlison and DCL need competition you can see their performances have dipped whereas Olsen seems to have pushed Pickford.
