Van Nistelrooy watched on from the stands in November as Leicester surrendered a 1-0 lead at the Gtech Community Stadium and ended up thumped 4-1. The scale of the job facing the Dutchman would have been crystal clear from that day onwards.
Since the four points Leicester accrued in RvN’s first two games following that visit to the Bees, they’ve lost 10 out of 12 games. Eesh.
As you say, bit of a bonkers match to predict. Can’t win at home v Can’t win away. 0-0 then? Or maybe not, given the way Ruud’s boys ship goals, as well as having a redoubtable and brilliant former carpet-fitter still banging them in when they can give him the ball. I’m betting on an Mbeumo/Wissa inside 2 mins, a late Vardy shouldered equaliser in added time, and lots of huff’n’puff without purpose in between. Should I get down the bookies’ now? Obviously we do not condone gambling and would never put THAT on our shirts. Would we?
