Can Leicester Keep This Up?

[~Utah]

Seriously.

I don't believe Vardy or Mahrez can be sold or there will be riots in the street.

At the very least can they this finish top 4?

 

[KJ]

Mahrez at half a milly seems like a nice deal

 

[guaranteeed]

no

 

[guaranteeed]

they have scored 34 goals

Optas expected goals based on shots, shot location etc. has them at 23

rest of the league

[guaranteeed]

the goals are going to dry up, couple that with a defense that isn't very good

regression should come

 

[~Utah]

you did say that about a month ago as well lad and they are still rolling

 

[braves]

Did I read they have the lowest pass completion rate in the Epl

I think they can finish top 4. A lot more parity than normal it seems in Epl

 

[Monger]

Not sure they have the squad depth to sustain the type of form that will be needed. Would be a great story though, if the could.

 

[guaranteeed]

Did I read they have the lowest pass completion rate in the Epl

I think they can finish top 4. A lot more parity than normal it seems in Epl

yep, 20th in pass completion, and they are 18th in possession

 

[guaranteeed]

of the other top 6 teams they have played they have 2 points in 3 games, they have been surprising bottom half and relegation level teams like Chelsea with their attack on the counter

teams are just going to start to sit back vs them, let them have the ball, they create very little from sustained possession

 

[guaranteeed]

in their next 5 PL games

Everton, Liverpool, Man City, Bournemouth, Tottenham

5 points or less

 

[~Utah]

Teed hates Neymar and good stories

 

[guaranteeed]

Their leading scorer is a racist

how is it a good story?

 

[~Utah]

It's not about Vardy, it's about the little engine that could.

 

[~Utah]

Leicester could be the next Chelsea.. Rich owner brings them to contenders .. If he wants too.. The owner is worth 2 billion

 

[guaranteeed]

mate, that's midtable

City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Spurs, United, Southampton, and Sunderland all have richer owners

 

[twinkie13]

im pullin for em

 

[Alan Tongue]

Leicester could be the next Chelsea.. Rich owner brings them to contenders .. If he wants too.. The owner is worth 2 billion

Mike Ashley at Newcastle, Ellis Short at Sunderland and the sheila at Southampton are all worth more. It hasn't worked out for them.

Joe Lewis is one of Britons richest men and Tottenham have achieved zero. All the money in the world means nothing if you don't have the right people making decisions
