Have you seen how much those casual ill-prepared primadonnas cost? They put out a good and strongish side.
My point is that they were ill prepared for the game. They may have cost a fortune and had some big hitters on the pitch but for some reason they turned up on the night expecting to put in little effort and breeze through the tie. Their poor attitude was illustrated by the lad who got hooked off in the first half.
When we named our full strength side it was obvious to most watching that our Forest team on our own pitch was going to be a decent challenge but they couldnt match our endeavour or break down our organised and disciplined defence. They were just waiting for us to wilt but, as we so often do these days, we actually came our stronger in the 2nd half and upped our game, and it killed them.
Im not trying to demean our performance, it was excellent and Cooper did a job on them. The point im making is that Leicester will not have the same attitude or underestimate us like Arsenal did and it'll be a far more difficult game.
Fair enough. Agree with what you say but fairly sure it was previously written that they'd put a weak side out. No bother, we did do a good job on them.
I do think Leicester will be more professional. But, we definitely still have a chance if we're on our game! Two counterattack teams..... might be uncomfortable for them as they'll have the ball and will be expected to try to break us down more than they normally do.
