    Gary Neville basically saying that we are so boring that we will make Leicester city bored and the game will be a draw.

    When that tactic wins 90% of games it's sort of worth sticking too :lol:
    Pretty much! But then you lose the unlikeliest of matches, and I think we have a good chance of upsetting the odds despite being the underdogs :lol:

    I'm doubting people's commitment to Sparkle Motion
    Two things that need to change from the last game is that we need to find our finishing boots and take the chances when they come and hopefully we wont look as drained and sluggish either. Leicester should be less defensive and bus parky than a lot of teams are so I see us having more chances in this game. Their defense is not great so we should be more confident from early in the match when players realise they are getting through more and creating more chances.

    And we should just get Park to man-mark Vardy from start to finish.

    Or something.

    Red Card for Casemiro!
    So one team is a fan favourite, and will play explosive attacking football with pace, power and passion, and the other will try and limit their chances and become hard to beat.

    Only, United are not the fan favourites.

    I've predicted Wayne Rooney to start. He always starts. When we lose this game, the manager has to go.

    Madness to think less than half of United fans think we'll beat Leicester City.

    If you told me this at the beginning of the season, I'd have laughed at you.

    I think this game is coming at the right time for Van Gaal and we will win 2-1

    Leicester will attack us and will lack discipline at the back - their success has been based on spirit and out scoring opponents

    I think we will be able to contain them and with the right team selection I fancy us in this - God knows why

    Over a third think Leicester will win. The last time predictions like that happened, we won the game 3-0.

    Maybe I'm being optimistic for no reason, but I still think we could hammer them. I voted Leicester to win 3-0 by mistake... think we're more likely to win by 3 or 4.

    2-0 United to paper over the cracks before we lose and draw our remaining easy fixtures.

    We're gonna do 'em. I quite like Jamie Vardy, but I'm not having that little dosser breaking a record held by a player as highly regarded as Ruud van Nistelrooy. It's just not on. He can go back to being to being this season's unexpected superstar after this game, and score another 10 games in a row, but not tomorrow.

    Smalling will eat that little chav up, and we'll bore them into an unconvincing 2-0 win. I don't know who will score the goals, because we don't ever really look like scoring. Lingard will miss 3 sitters from inside the box, and Rojo and Blind's superb crosses will be attacked by no one, but we'll score 2, somehow. Maybe a penalty, and then a close range finish from O. Goal for a successive league game. Easy!

    We're going to smash them 1-1.

    The knock-off Henry and Bergkamp will combine to give the scrump the record before Rojo pops up with a scruffy equaliser.

    Vardy will get a few chances and his confidence is such he will score. Its inevitable.

    Lingard has a hamstring problem so wont start. I dont think pereira starts either. Fellaini and young in place of those two.

    So you will drop BFS for some spotty faced kid? Yet keep Fellaini on the bench? Our game went to pot when BFS went off.
    You don't understand my point?I know at least 2 are out from the 18 on Wednesday (Wilson is 1 of them) so just take a wild guess on who's the one out.BFS could well has his fitness on the red zone or something.

    Just a thought as Herrera is injured it could be his chance to be in the away end. I wonder if he will boo if the team are crap or sing Attack, Attack, Attack?

    I hope Vardy breaks his fecking leg in the first minute:mad: Sorry but I dislike him. The thought of him breaking Ruud's record makes me feel sick! Hope Mike Smalling murders him!

    2 or 3-0 for us. Will be like Everton, everyone depressed and pessimistic as feck and then we go out and beat them comfortable. They are not one of those teams, who will sit back, so we will get our chances, just need to take them then.
    I don't agree with the scoreline, but I do agree with the rest.
    They will attack us, as their style of play is to play cavalier attacking football, (like MUFC used to do under Fergie).
    Because of this, there will be plenty of opportunities for both teams to score.

    I think Leicester will win. Why?
    1, They are ahead of us in the league.
    2, Its an away game for us.
    3, They have the most prolific striker in the league and I just can't see how we can out score them.
    4, Passion: This is a top of the league clash. When Keane was here, we'd have no problems getting jee'd up for this match and raising our game.. But these days we have no passion.
    Leicester (with Vardy) won't be short on passion and I have no doubt will raise their game (due to the fact that this is their biggest game of the season).

    I think they'll score 2-3.
    We'll score 1 or 2 less than them.

    I hope I'm wrong.

    What will the backlash be like it this happens? Especially when Arsenal went there and beat them.

    Wish it was an early kick off so I could watch the other matches in peace.

    I actually kind of want to see some sort of 442/433 with Martial and Rashford up front. I don't know how good he is but I think these are the type of games that youngsters will work their bollocks off to prove themselves. Also I'd love Rooney dropped for Pereira but LVG seemingly wants to play a useless tree instead of him.

    What have Arsenal got to do with it? They'll win fixtures we lose and vice versa.
    Because they are supposedly a soft touch, southern softies who found a way to beat them. I will have doubts about the toughness of our team if we can't so the same. Also Arsenal are pacy like them and we aren't in some areas.

    so you don't care about how we play but you want us to play with urgency ? make your mind up !
    Yeah except it's not the same thing though is it?

    You don't have to play well to be playing with intent. If we go out and look like we want it then I couldn't care less whether we create 30 chances scoring 6 or nick a 1-0 in the 90th min and how we played in between. I want the positive mindset, performance and result are secondary to me at this point.

    If Herrera was available I'd fancy us to win. Leicester are not great defensively so I think we'll get chances but we'll probably have to ride out an initial storm as I'm sure they'll be well up for it. I think 1-1 or 2-1 Leicester.

    With Mike in defence we will hold the fort. They will start dropping points starting with us tomorrow.

    If Rojo and Lingard are out too then

    Starting XI: De Gea - Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Young - Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger; Mata, Rooney, Memphis - Martial
    Bench: Romero, McNair, Borthwick-Jackson, Goss, A.Pereira, Fellaini, Rashford

    Our weakest bench ever??? :lol:
