Sometimes I wish I didn’t care as much, as I know it’s irrational, but the emotional delta between winning and losing this one is going to be massive. Know what you mean but I'm more looking forward to it. Even if we lost we've still got a great points buffer the others would die for! Now, one of play off finals at Wembley in the past, that's proper emotion and nerves compared to this game because we've got plenty of games after! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonb Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February We'll be well up for this after the lethargic first half against Boro That being said I think they'll run us ragged, but we'll get a result. Last minute equaliser or winner from Vardy Regardless of what happens in this one though, I think we're about there.. even of Ipswich win. They'll still be 6 points behind with a goal difference around 20 worse off. Definitely a play offs to avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Blues Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February This is the match that wins us the league. 3-1 to Leicester, KDH Masterclass. I see this being pretty end to end, with Leeds trying to force the issue and Leicester having some success on the counter, especially once we have the lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekerz Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February Haven't been properly buzzing/nervous for a game like this since Everton at home last season. Win this and i'd say we're on the home stretch. Lose and we could be dragged into the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had one "big" game this season being Cov and Fatawu getting sent off when we're 1-0 up seems like shitting it to me. But not talking about this season, talking about in general over the last few years e.g Everton at home, Roma away, both games against Forest away Edited 21 February by Trekerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February It really feels like a massive game. Win this and Leeds, Southampton and Ipswich all forget about catching us and it's a race for 2nd for them. Meanwhile, any pressure completely lifts from us. Lose and whilst we're still 6 clear with a massive goal difference advantage, the margin just becomes so narrow and Leeds having done the double over us, will really feel they can catch us.

Unfortunately the ref gave it. Without that decision, we would have won that game. In fact, even with 10 men we still managed to get to 80mins without conceding before fatigue set in and they scored. The red card changed everything - we didn't bottle it. Your other examples are irrelevant because they were under Rodgers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC-92 Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February Feel as though Leeds have strengths that will directly prey on our weaknesses. They are quick in attack, direct and physical. They have a great home record, Elland Road will be a fortress and they'll be full of confidence after our defeat against Middlesbrough with a chance to close the gap further. I hope I'm wrong, but I can see Leeds winning this fairly comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
