Wagner out

They really have had their fill of Wagner.

Do they not know that Jesse is available and ready, willing and able

Interesting some claim Wagner and Farke aren't similar.

On a very basic level they are.

They are both from that German Ralf Rangnick Gegenpressing style that was all the rage 4 5 years ago.

Some Leicester fan thoughts

Foxes fans are confident, as we would be if we were 11 points clear of the 3rd team at this stage.

Long long, hard season.

They are on crack. He’s a solid coach and is the closest thing they could get to Daniel Farke, who they’ve had their biggest success with. They are sorely missing Josh Sargent up front who is one of their top 4-5 players. And they haven’t yet spent the Max Aaron’s funds. I think they’re trying to get within striking distance by January and then will start spending in the January window. Their fans need to calm down and get a grip. Thought they looked really good against Leicester earlier this year, which had me a bit nervous for this fixture.

I believe Norwich requires a more adventurous management board to achieve success.

Encouraging to read that I wasn't wrong with my not been overly impressed assessment.

Seems they have been playing less than brilliant this season at times but managing to pick up wins (what Champions do tbf).

But they clearly aren't unbeatable and the fans seem tor recognise that largely

Indeed they do, Cjay.

Leicester fans don't like this

Don't think it's inaccurate though to say at our best we are the best side in the league? Problem is we can go from 9/10 to 4/10 in the same game and our performance levels can change massively.

Whereas Leicester even in games they havent played well or so well they deserved to win, they have been scraping through.

Sunderland, QPR, needing a 92nd minute goal to beat Cardiff who gave them a game, Coventry could easily have beat them matchday 1 with the rub of the green.

They have been putting in steady 6-7/10s without having many 9s.

Whereas we have had 4 and 5s and 8s and 9s.

I don't think Leicester's points total matches the performances, think thats fair, but they have been having the but of luck you need or the bit of individual quality in a key moment.

There are good reasons for our low level performances, especially our three defeats.

Daniel Farke's tactics

Can't blame turmoil given Southampton defeat was September 30th and Stoke was few weeks ago

Turmoil for the Birmingham game.

Dropping Rodon against the Saints, we were a mess!

Too many changes vs Stoke, resting Summerville on the bench because he had a slight injury was acceptable, omitting James was ridiculous, limited pace upfront plus Rutter had no runners to take advantage of his exceptional passes.

they could have easily drawn against us on Friday night - we've blown hot and cold this season, they're deservedly top of the league and will almost certainly go up this year. we need to focus on catching Ipswich, not leicester. they're 11 points ahead of us and clearly been the best team in the league so far - with Ipswich. we lost to a poor stoke a few games previous and looked crap, we blow hot and cold atm and need to try and change that, we rode our luck a bit against leicester

We lost to Stoke because Summerville, James & Kamara were not in our starting line-up.

[geronimo]

It was a performance not in character with our form so far this season but it was a game we knew we had to win
Where as Leicester could afford to lose and it ain't going to change their season

It's whether we can consistently perform at that level all season and up to now we can't every game is becoming a must win game just to keep in touch we can't afford to take the foot off the gas where as the top two can that's the problem Leeds have and it brngs added pressure every week the other two don't face
Consistency is the key to promotion no point beating the top side one week then losing to a lower side a week later

Leicester have been far from convincing often this season, even the fans say as much.

They've won 4 or 5 games they could easily have lost or drawn, the points total doesn't tell the whole story.

Clearly a better squad than the rest of the league and that has been getting them through and will probably be enough for the remainder of the season you'd imagine.

Unfortunately we have dropped more points than we should, a combination of bad circumstances, bad luck, stupid tactics and sometimes all 3.

But I don't think on our day a gap exists between us vs Leicester.
