Calm down Calm down.
When CR came in he watched and learned realised we where not going to be able to play possession football but we had pace and counter attack. So he won the Premiership using that tactic.
He knows we don't have the squad for two major pushes and realistically no chance of winning the Prem again has thrown our resources at a good run in the CL.
He knows our players and what they are capable of so he has made the decisions he will be judged by. I believe there's a mental fatigue after the great escape and the great victory. losing Kante is also a psychological factor in we have a lose of belief.
All of you who call for the introduction of this new player and that new player only one player in 50 of watching our club has come to the league we where or are in for the first time and be able to get up to speed and that was Kante. Others take time to get up to speed or sit on the bench until ready.
So lets get real we still can't attract the players we think we should even as winners of the PL we are still little old Leicester to many and that will take time to change. If you want a real positive look at the next phase of young players brought in or from our youth set up that CL will nurture the Futures bright the futures Claudio.
For the avoidance of doubt wums will be deported to the Tottenham board
Claudio Knows who we are

Said many times Europe takes it out of sides in their first campaign
You go from being able to have a tight squad of perhaps 14-16 players you use for every game, to having to expand it by at least 5 players of similar quality.
Once the CL breaks in December you will have an upturn in form I expect, a good couple of months without midweek distractions

I don't think it's so much the formation as the intensity we play at, too dangerous to let the top quality teams just have the ball, we need to get into them and work harder off the ball.
Liverpool did exactly that to us, they also did it last night to Man Utd, by doing this you stop them building up a head of steam.
Okazaki is the talisman for this, by dropping him from the team it immediately shows our way of playing.

I'm hoping our up turn in form comes before December with the fixtures we have coming up. Between now and the end of the year we play Tottenham away and Man City at home which we'll probably lose but the rest are against teams we should be looking at getting positive results against.
Palace, West Brom, Boro, Everton and West Ham at home and Watford, Sunderland, Bournemouth and Stoke away. It's a very good chance to put some points on the board and will probably end up shaping our season. Do well in these games and we'll push up the league, if we don't we'll be in for a struggle.

Agreed. That's why I think winning tonight could be so crucial to your season.
5 points on second and at least 5 on third with 3 games to play would mean that you'd only need to beat Brugges at home in the final group game in order to qualify, possibly even top.
That would give you plnty of breathing space and enough games to cement a good league position in the months before the CL k.o. stage kicks in.

Yeah definitely. A win tonight and a point next game away to Copenhagen and it should be enough. Brugges are poor so we should be able to rest a few and still win which would be enough to top the group meaning Porto away won't mean anything. It is important that we win the group so hopefully we can do so asap so we can switch our focus back to the league.

Leicester City are playing in CL how they played in PL last season. Maybe underdog and a bit of luck suits them.

Bit of luck? The luck went against us tonight when Slimani's goal was wrongly disallowed.
The real difference is the intensity in which we're playing but this is the competition we're prioritising as the league takes a back seat.

Obviously didn't see the whole game as luck was one thing we didn't have tonight.
