What Are Leicester Playing At?

[Kano]

Totally agree with this, especially the bit about the game on Sunday. We need to be fired up & angry on Sunday like we were against United.

Need big performances from everyone, I don't just want to win on Sunday, I want us to put doubts into the minds of those Leicester players, they are everyone's 2nd team, we need to put a stop to that and firmly remind them that they won't be walking their way to the title and that we'll be breathing down their necks.

What has to be remembered about the Utd game alongside our energetic start was that their team was set-up perfectly for us to exploit. LVG's talk beforehand was arrogantly about they had better attacking options and he set his team up accordingly. As much as the onus is on one team to be better than their opponents, the other side of the coin rarely discussed is how the opposition allow that to happen. Or vice versa of course. The ebb and flow of a football game is an intangible thing, something that even players can't put into context. There are so many factors in play at any given moment, with so many individuals emotions on the football pitch, all it takes is one to have a positive or negative impact on his team mates for a certain period or even the rest of the game. I can't remember where I heard his but I recall hearing that athletes first reflex is instinctual, rather than anything thought through, which can throw the best laid plans straight out the window. Which means of course getting inside your players head before a match is of the upmost importance.
