I am sure we will all agree it is absolutely fantastic to see Leicester win the league and especially beat the big boys with all the money!
it gives me hope for us if as is likely we are nowhere near next years top ten spenders in league one.
how did Leicester do it? And could we learn anything from it or actually want to?
leicester will now go up to compete in the Champions league, we want to go up to the Championship.
First up they had one midfielder and one forward who contributed 48 assists and goals out of 64 scored. They offered a CREATIVE and Goal threat, with calm scoring in front of goal.
Secondly this was achieved by selecting good hard working LOW COST signings, players with the right mentality. Total heart and soul as Ranieri calls it. "We don't need superstars" he said.
Thirdly on the pitch a clear and consistent strategy based on shunning possession, sitting deep and killing teams with pace on the counter attack. As part of this the team/squad are superbly organised with acknowledged SLOW defenders with experience who can read the game very well. It certainly wasn't boring!
Fourthly and crucially the Manager offers CALM authority from his experience, taking the pressure off players. Ranieri has cast aside his TINKERMAN reputation. He has made the least changes to system and the starting line up than any other manager in the league, believing continuity is key!
Spirit , heart and soul. Have we got all the above attributes, what do you think? Are they worth having?
As Leicester step up to the next level it is thought they will continue to do well with the above approach, but will need to strengthen the quality in depth, maintain the creativity in midfield and bring in another striker with PACE
Sorry this is long but what say you shrimpers, how do we compare and should we attempt to emulate in any way?
