Swansea v Leicester

[JamesSherbourne]

What's the perfect result ? I'm hoping 0-0

[FactualFrank]

I really do think Swansea will be clear of the drop come the end of the season, so a Swansea win isn't too bad.

[DCWat]

0-0 with injuries and red cards galore.

[BennyD]

Both losing in a 0-0 with 2 sendings off each. One can but hope.

[Devils_Advocate]

Leicester to win 3-2 after coming from behind twice with 4 yellow cards each

[minnieclaret]

I think Swans are going through new coach boost. Once they realise he's not up to it they'll revert to type and go down with Sunderland and Boro. Shame really cos I'd have liked to have seen BFS relegated.
0-0 today.

[Vegas Claret]

4-4 (might as well enjoy it) and 3 red cards each

[Vegas Claret]

Dyer gone off injured
Hoping for a Gylfi Sigurdsson red card and 3 match ban!

[ElectroClaret]

Doesn't matter about lower clubs results now.

Let's look up. Top ten.

[CnBtruntru]

Any draw will do, couple of red cards for Swansea would be nice especially Siggurdson.

[mkmel]

A draw and ideally a 0-0 draw and with one or two red cards thrown in.

Second preference would be fo a Leicester win as I think they will eventually survive whereas not so sure about Swansea

[IndigoLake]

Swansea take the lead!

[Vegas Claret]

Leicester are doomed
2-0 swans

[IndigoLake]

Swansea 2 up. Leicester are dire. They're going down.

[IndigoLake]

Leicester are doomed
2-0 swans

Jinx

[ElectroClaret]

Goodbye Foxes.

[cutsy123]

Good. I hate em

[Vegas Claret]

their owner didn't look happy at all, big shake of the head. I reckon Ranieri will be gone soon

[Sidney1st]

Who's going to save them if they pot Ranieri?

[Buxtonclaret]

They really don't look remotely up for a relegation fight.

[SGr]

Leicester win would have been the worst result today. Swansea to their credit have been excellent since Clement took over on the whole, don't expect them to be down there for much longer on this showing. Starting to question whether last season truly happened on Leicester's showing this season...

[FactualFrank]

How can it be down to the manager? If the chairman doesn't realise it's down to the players then he (the chairman) deserves to be relegated.

[CrispyClaret]

Boring game to watch, tippy tappy, no pressing and no tackles. Leicester seem to just want to pass it into the net, no passion from either side.

[Vegas Claret]

Swansea's next fixtures

Chelsea A
Burnley H
Hull A
Bournmenouth A
Boro H

they are gonna have a massive say in things

[Buxtonclaret]

Wow.
Another guttless Leicester loss.
Next league game Liverpool.
Not looking good for 'em.

Regardless who's fault it is, Leicester are appalling. You have to ask yourself if they get a new manager in, with a clean slate, would he get a reaction. Changing a manager in this situation is the only practical thing they can do. However, I hope they don't sack him.

[Frenchclaret]

Warburton and his backroom team from Rangers for Leicester?

Isn't part of the manager's job to motivate the players?

The real issue is they didn't replace Kante properly.

However if Ranieri can motivate them to the title, why can't he motivate them this season to be higher up the league?

The players are probably not as driven as they were last season when it was all going their way and they could see the real possibility of getting a title.
Now they're back down on planet earth they're struggling and its Ranieri's job to motivate them and find the right tactics/formation.
He's changed things round to much when if he'd stuck to 4-4-2 they may be better off.

[EarbyClaret]

Something has to change. At this stage of the season, in February, the only thing that can be changed is the manager. In the hope that he can get a reaction which produces the 3/4 wins which would probably make the difference - as has happened at Swansea.

Would be a big call though as Leicester's players have so far managed to produce last season's form in this season's Champions League and that will soon be back on the fixture calendar.

[Tall Paul]

I wonder if those bumper contracts Vardy, Mahrez et al signed have relegation clauses.

[BennyD]

That whistling sound you may be hearing isn't tinnitus, it's Leicester going down. Laugh, I nearly bought the next round!

[kentonclaret]

Leicester are now paying the price for not prioritising the Premier league at the start of the season when they had the distractions of the Champions League. In almost every case where they had a Champions League fixture the following week they fielded an under strength team in the PL often conceding 4 or 5 goals without reply and resting Vardy, Mahrez and Slimani. They fell down the table and now cannot halt the decline. The manager must take full responsibility.

[BabylonClaret]

Leicester are the worst Cham,pions ever. In the history of entire sport. They are easily the worst side I've seen all year bar Sunderland.

Utter dogger and I hope they finish bottom.

[FactualFrank]

The real issue is they didn't replace Kante properly.

I think the real issue is down to one thing: Money.

Vardy is on something like 80k a week? Before they won the title he was on less than half that. He's clearly (imo) realised he's made for life and doesn't have to do anything now. You can read a lot into a person just by looking at them. Look at Vardy - you know he's a two hat just by looking in from the outside. He's a 5 star pillock and can't be arsed.

I bet Claudio Ranieri is thinking, "You set of b*st*rds" - they tried their hardest last season and now they have the contracts sorted, they really can't be arsed.
