Mhm that's what we thought against Fulham.
The players need to respect Leicester.
Yes the potential for a rout is there but Leicester are fighting for their survival in the league they won't capitulate imo.
Wouldn't stop at West Ham either, you seen the shower of shite we got after?
I hope the Gods of the Jinx are well and truly liquored up over Christmas and off their game.
Half a dozen posts into this thread and we already need to start making a list of multiple sacrifices just to make it through to 2025 in one piece.

I was also wondering about the conundrum that is fitting Jones and Elliot into same XI as they both play same position.
I’m still highly unconvinced of Jones in the double pivot.
You're not alone. I think that's why most of us want us to sign another mid
It’s a bit frustrating as i love both. And Jones’ form deservedly gets him above Harvey in the pecking order for now.
Slot can go with a more conventional 4-3-3 in this game to allow Jones to get into more advanced positions where he does his best work. Could be good for Elliott too.
I was hoping Gravy was either booked or subbed against spurs. Neither happened and I know Slot will play Gravy yet again.

He could also play Nunez at DM. When we drop Jones to the double pivot, we more often than not get overrun in midfield. He is better up the pitch. His calling card of holding on to the ball for too long can be a problem, although against Leicester it might be less of a problem.
Leicester's game after us is at home to Man City. Would actually be brilliant (and hilarious) if they rest a few players against us thinking they have a better chance against City if fresh.
Also looks like their keeper is injured so our old boy Danny Ward should be in nets, with other old boy Conor Coady in defence.

Since he has taken over Leicester have conceded 74 shots in 3 games or something crazy. Our forwards will have a field day.
Ya Ruud will have them fired up. I’d take a 1-0 and no injuries now!
Will he have them fired up? Or will he have them defending for their lives having seen how many shots they have conceded in the last few games? The Spurs game will actually tell teams not to attack too openly against us as we are getting our shit together and will pick them apart on the counter. I expect a parked bus with someone like Cordova Reid deployed on the counter. Part of me even expects Vardy to be rested as I don't think he has 3 games a week in him.
Anyway let's see.
I’d expect him to send them out clueless because he’s shit.
Yes this team, however if Jota is not fit then Nunez. I'd like Gravy to get more of a rest before this Xmas / NY period.
Coming along nicely until the last line
