I forget how many glory supporters there are from the 60s and 70s, of that club. He's just looking for a window to lick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 21 February Popular Post Share Posted 21 February 51 minutes ago, Dan LCFC said: Another reason I wanted Rodgers out quite a long time before it happened is that it fully immerses you in this mindset. Rationally we will win this league still, but Rodgers' era truly could make the unthinkable happen and not in a good way. I agree with you by the way but even the Rodgers era has left us out of kilter. The 2020/21 season for example we beat every one of the big 6 at least once each and won the FA Cup. Yet we'd already got an unpalatable ability to roll over and shit it and we then saw the demise. It's so difficult to shake that, very much like it's difficult at 1-0 up or in tight games with 20 to go, not panic like mad when we're trying to play out from the back despite that being exactly what we're strong at. We need a big result on Friday and/or at home to Southampton. We have demons to lay to rest, we are owed it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a big result on Friday and/or at home to Southampton. We have demons to lay to rest, we are owed it. I sit somewhere in the middle of the debate on it to be honest. I hold both views that it's probably overreacting to think we'll collapse again and treating this game like it's unwinnable, given that we'd be 6 points above them even if we lost (having lost twice to them!) is silly. But I think even this season, I can't totally shake this idea that we're just a bit too good for anybody 7th down (bar Middlesbrough who have some sort of juju over us this year) and that in the face of proper adversity we have been found a bit wanting. But that is to be revealed for certain by the end of the season. It's probably where the Burnley comparison becomes fairer too. What I'm saying is this team needs a really defining win. People can talk about Coventry on the opening day but we have a better team than them. I want to see us go to a genuinely tough game and do it. For what it's worth the Bournemouth game can probably come under this category too particularly given Bournemouth have no reason at all to not go for that game. I want to see that this style of play and this team can genuinely come up trumps against a comparable outfit. Can punch us above our weight, if you like. Which I appreciate given the nature of how we went down is extremely hard for us to actually do. We need an attitude shifting win. I think there'll be a collective bullishness if we go and win at Leeds on Friday. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season its difficult to judge as very few games have had any jeopardy riding on them, but Friday is right up there under Maresca and it will go along way towards shedding any doubt that we are meek under him.

ARM1968 Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February Seems some are beginning to see the enormity of this game. If we lose yes we are still 6pts above them, but the psychological damage it ‘might’ do could see us unravel. Some have said they’ve seen us fight in some games. I can’t say as I really have - not really grit our teeth and dig in. Leeds will come at us hard, press us and keep hounding us for most of the 90mins. I think technically we are the better team. I think we have, on balance, the better players. We really should give them a good game, but I think we will crumble. Just a feeling, nothing more really. I like being wrong anyway. 🤣🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MGLCFC Posted 21 February Popular Post Share Posted 21 February (edited) We've lost 5 games only - 3 of those through OUR own inability to convert good chances and one through having to play 45 minutes with 10 men. The Leeds game at home was tight, could have gone either way, but I have to say I haven't seen us crumble in any game.

Dan LCFC Posted 21 February Share Posted 21 February It's not just this game but it's their next few games after it compared to ours. If they beat us they genuinely could win 13 on the bounce. While our March is probably our hardest month of the season. I just feel like 13 in a row is too many though. This is feeling a little like one of those situations where lots points to a Leeds win so that it doesn't happen. We'd won 9 in a row going into the loss at home to them, they've won 8 in a row going into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps 2nd place as a see-saw situation and for us Leeds out of harms way. Though both side will grab bragging rights,if it’s them that equalise. From Leeds side it let’s the other 2 get a jump on them… Only Enzo’s team though can say job done…now catch us if you can.. Leicester has nothing to prove, just next game,next step,without worrying whats behind them.. Its a nice and juicy scenarios ..is our last game the deflation of what Enzo has achieved or will be the next step up within our system challenges, so far Enzo and system has picked up the glove on every new challenge and advanced. BUT neither does a defeat become defining… Edited 22 February by fuchsntf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure Nuge got the first in that one, but as you say, Wood’s was an excellent strike on the half volley! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
