I love how leicester cant defend from set pieces since they cant grapple like ****s

I love Ranieri but i hate those ****s so much.

Sky just mentioned they have to 're-learn' how to defend. Hah... Costa had so much space!!

The best thing that could happen officiating-wise in the league was Mike Dean's penalties for grappling on the opening day. Ridiculed at the time but totally vindicated now.

Holding in the box was definitely a foul last season. It's now proof that the officials let them get away with it. Is that not now a bit dodgy?

True but that's like saying back-chat is worthy of a yellow card, players just don't get booked for it that often. They needed to single it out as as being specifically watched and Mike Dean did everyone a favour earlier in the season. The impact of that one ref has been noticeable.

Leicester are so utterly shit. If the bottom of the league wasnt so awful, i'd fancy them to get dragged into a relegation fight.

The point being, why wait until last season was over before making that example? Refs just didn't want to be the one to derail the fairytale.

They basically had every helping hand possible to win the league last season.

I was hoping they'd give Chelsea a decent game but it seems they are saving some players for the champions league games

Leicester might as well defend with their hands tied behind their backs now, they have no other use for them

Leicester. Is. Shit.

Someone should tell Ranieri that now that they cant foul all the time, persisting with the 442 at better teams is probably not a good idea.
