Bossman Blessed It Posted 13 February 2017 Share Posted 13 February 2017 Looking at the positives in our situation is inherently stupid - Ranieri's been doing it for a while now and all it does is avoid the actual problem, which has of course lead to the same team selection week in week out. Thankfully, Ranieri publicly saying that he's had too much faith in the title winners, is perhaps the most sensible thing he's said all season. It also gives an insight into his thinking over the summer - fully expectant of the usual suspects to perform at the levels they were last year. It shows, sadly, that Ranieri had never won a title before. A level of naivety that might well have doomed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows, sadly, that Ranieri had never won a title before. A level of naivety that might well have doomed us. Ranieri has often made teams outperform their own real ability. When he managed Roma he was within two points of mourinho's Inter, a far better team. He can build teams and motivate them to perform, but he's not unrealistic. At the beginning of the year he said that Leicester's chances of winning the title again was as possible as an extraterrestrial landing in Piccadilly (or something of the sort). His defect is he's loyal to players, but at the same time he's not going to put the team in jeopardy for a players poor performance, as he did by benching Totti in Rome. His problem is he gives ample chances to players, and that is why he builds confidence in so many players. The bad thing is he does wait long for those changes to occur. My suspicion is he does this until he cannot anymore; where by relegation is looming. I suspect he'll change things from here on out to stop this slide. He knows well how to get teams out of trouble (even though some will say he put us there) and I am confident that he's the one we will need for this operation. Ranieri has done this this with Parma and other teams. Talking about replacing him is just bonkers. He's a top manager...no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
