I reckon Andy Carroll can lead the Hammers to victory this afternoon at Leicester and that’s not based on hope and optimism.
City’s defence with big central defenders Robert Huth and Wes Morgan at its heart sits deep and invites crosses and excellent into the box and that plays to AC’s aerial strength.
If he is bang on his game and we get the right quality of cross into him then I can see us marching out of the east midlands with a win under our belts.
The Irons are going to have to find some energy from somewhere because they really did look pretty jaded against Manchester United and there can be no room for that today.
And I seriously hope that Winston Reid returns to the centre of defence because his pace is going to be very important against Vardy.
Slav will have to freshen things up notably in the Enner Valencia area who was bang off the pace in the FA Cup replay but I believe that with the right sort of service going into the box we can win this game.
We have have had a great season and that would be a magnificent way of showing the world there will be no fading and dying after the United setback.
To be honest I believe these are two very evenly matched sides and had City not had the season they have enjoyed I reckon everybody would be talking about West Ham.
So come on you Irons, another huge away match and given our great away record on these occasions lets have another big one.
I’m going for a 1-2 away win.
I am off the same feeling ! I fancy a win today , we have to to keep pace with the mancs setting up , hopefully , the biggy at the old girl , beating the mancs to keep them below us ,
That would be enough to motivate me especially after the dodgy refereeing v the mancs in the FA cup at their place ! Well and truly mugged !!!
Sorry Leroy, Carroll leading the line, I think you are a top pundit but we will not win this game if that is the case.
Good man Leroy, but have you factored in Leicester’s ability to counter attack with speed, the very thing that Man United did to rip open our shoddy defence.
Or the fact they have a beast like Kante in midfield, orchestrating everything and preventing the balls from getting out wide.
Always sounds good on paper when you don’t give the other teams strengths a full consideration! Hoping for a win today, but i’m being realistic also.
