Not signing two centre halves in the summer has cost them. Morgan and Huth are back to their useless selves. Morgan was an average L1 centre back when he played alongside Dawson at forest.

I've said exactly what Gaz has said. Last season was their perfect storm. Not a single player in that team will reach the form again in their careers. I was also wondering as someone else suggested- had they finished 12th or something last year then would they have stuck with him

Someone been listening to bobbin talksport presenters talking shite...A perfect storm is an especially bad situation caused by a combination of unfavourable circumstances. There might be a cliché to describe last year, this isn't it.
They got on a run confidence built week after week and momentum took them over the line. The manager was very shrewd he changed very little last season which is against his nature-the one season he didn't 'tinker' and he won the title a lesson possibly to learn there.He messed around with his Chelsea side at bad moments and cost himself success. This season he strengthened in the wrong areas with players with no premier league experience which made the squad not as together as it was.They won last year by being efficient and hard to beat this season they thought 'We are the champions we are better than just defending well and working hard'. The problem is once they opened up and started changing things they lost their main strength-organisation.The manager was too loyal to the players who in my opinion got wage rises and the hunger to succeed had gone. They also lost the guy who recruited players for them which didn't help. They were the side who suffered the most with defenders not being able to hold strikers at corners.The pre season was all about making money not about setting pre season up to fit what was needed for the players. Mistakes made all over by all members of the club and the man who picks the team and recruits the players takes the whole of the blame with his sacking. In hindsight Vardy and Mahrez should have left in the summer but probably wanted to see what else they could achieve-back in the summer people were thinking they might even win the champions league. They will have felt loyalty to the club and manager no doubt. The manager has recruited badly not been able to keep his distance from his players which has led to him losing the ability to change the results. He looked totally incapable of changing things they players are in a 'go slow' mode that will take some turning around. Very harsh on the man but understandable when you look at the money it would cost them if relegated-money talks in the end.
