    What Are Leicester Playing At?

    OK, I've kept saying that Leicester aren't a serious threat long term but...well, they just won't stop!
    Not strictly Arsenal Debate but how the hell are they doing what they're doing?!

    I thought the days were gone of a team struggling one season and having a title challenge the next, it's refreshing to see but...how are they doing it?

    And, to vaguely justify this being in Arsenal Debate, is there anything we can learn from what they're doing?

    Not sure what else there is to say about Leicester, they're just a very good side playing with confidence and to their strengths, completely fearless. Every player knows their role and guys like Vardy and Mahrez have the perfect platform to excel. They've shown us up big time along with the other traditional top sides.

    Hope they win it, looks like they could have a more realistic chance than us.

    It's a really poor indictment on Wenger that Ranieri has come back into this league after 10 years and instantly has his team challenging for the title, convincingly as well I might add.

    It's a poor indictment on all the 'top' managers.

    It is, but the other guys haven't been trying for 10 years with the same club and consistently failing to do something. Mourinho won a title, Pellegrini won a title, LVG is a bit shit but only in his 2nd year, Klopp's been in for 5 minutes, Wenger?? I guess he has his collection of 4th place and calendar year trophies.

    You might want to replace 'won' with 'bought' for Mourinho and Pellegrini

    LOL you are funny.

    Wenger couldn't even manage that if he tried, all he's good for is 4th place and noone who cares about football gives a toss about that.

    Nah, money or no money Wenger doesn't have what it takes to get us over the line. Even with a better squad the same pattern of problems seem to be manifesting themselves. He was a great manager but there's just no edge to his teams anymore. A blunt knife.

    He's fresh out of excuses, sadly.

    If we don't win it this year he has to go.

    If we do win it, he has to go.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
