Has Ranieri lost his way?

Of course the hungers gone, the players had the season of a lifetime last year, of course their motivation will have gone now for this season

TB - I disagree I'm afraid: I blame the players entirely. Last season they fought in every match like their lives depended on it. This season they're fighting in every match like a post-match bag of liquorice allsorts depends on it. The hunger's gone, and that's the main problem.

There are some side issues, like travelling, Kante not being adequately replaced and new signings being disappointing, but ultimately at the moment it doesn't matter what tactics or formation you play: Until the players once again start going out prepared to throw all but the kitchen sink at the match then nothing will change.

Completely agree with this, how Ranieri can be blamed is puzzling me. He's tried changing things around and apparently we have changed formation this season and played five at the back a few times, it's just not been noticeable and hasn't worked.

Don't get me wrong, the players have their part to play but the intensity and desire should be inhecred into them by the Management, we show far too much respect to almost every team we play.

After Saturday it was most surprising to see CR state the players performed well, this suggests an underlying issue and it stems from the Top.

It was always going to be interesting to see how CR fared when he had his first really tough period ( losing and out of form ), so far, in my opinion he is struggling to deal with it effectively.

The saving grace is the CL results so far, let's be honest though most of those performances have been below par despite the results, let's hope we can clinch top spot tomorrow with a win and see where we go from there in the League.

Not like you to get off your fence with a comment like that DM.

Lets hope everyone is supportive during our probable relegation battle, I know I will be.

You can't kid me, TB. I could see you spray painting that massive "Bring Back Nigel" banner in your back garden from up on that fence.
