It amazes me how many pundits are shocked that Leicester are struggling so this year. I called it last year and got mocked for it.
Any team that doesn't have the huge squads of the sky four, have always struggled in league when competing in Europe. The demands of the extra games and the travel, would clearly take demands on a Leicester squad that was incredibly lucky with injuries last season. Couple that with the draining high tempo they played, it was always going to be a struggle.
Added to this, losing players, and heads turned by bigger clubs. It was never with the best will in the world going to be anywhere near a repeat season for Leceister. Many, considered successful, premier league managers have lost their jobs in their first year of European football. No professional pundit should be surprised that this one happened either.
