The Leicester City Thread (merged)

Leicester aren't a great team but they've stuck to a system that suits there players and every 1 of there squad has given 110% for 90+minutes every single game I throughly expect them to drop to a mid table team next season as other teams will have them sussed out!

they are set to win the PL they are a great team...with TEAM being the key word.

Being a great team isn't about having a bunch of superstars.

Teams haven't sussed them out all season, whats going to change next season?

Montpellier did it in France 4 years ago, PSG had been taken over, and Ancelotti was the manager. Was an amazing achievement. Hellas Verona did it in the 80s. Currently, Rostov are top of the Russian League, 2-0 up against Zenit.

A few years ago, City Utd Arse Chelsea Liverpool Everton would have all beaten them at least once, possibly twice. All are a pile of fucking shit in the Prem. Most of them would have beaten Spurs as well for that matter.

been very lucky. no rotation. no cards. no injuries. diving all over the place with protection. all this added to all the players playing well.

 

[cleavers]

Lucky or not, they play as a team, 38% possession again today, but easy winners.

I'd say the rags did it in 2013 to a large degree. Inspirational manager who got the most out of some average players. Well tried system that the players suited, etc. No other team able to put a consistent run together.

Still think Leicester are using PED's though.

Five cup ties has also helped, we'll finish with either 21 or 22. And their better players started the season under the radar in terms of national selection so they didn't suffer the same level of disruption and injury caused by international call ups.

The new tv deal may change things but a few years ago Brendon Rogers would have bought half their team. Every team who has put in a decent show has been decimated before it got off the ground.

Mahrez, Vardy and Kante seem world class, yes. But the rest of the team are just solid IMO.

Could their success be replicated by other smaller teams playing a smart system, e.g West Ham?
