I'm a bit surprised really.

I really don't get the shock from so many Leicester fans. Take last year out of the equasion and they are exactly in the position you'd expect. You can't deny how well they played last season and yes he's experimented (IMO) unecessarily this season but.....and their fans need to understand this no matter how bitter a pill it would be to swallow... Leicester City FC is NOT a big club.

Don't get me wrong, they have a big club mentality and again no matter how you view it not only did they win the league last season but did so with authority. But similar to the slightly-bigger Spurs, they won't ever be consider part of a Premier League "Big 4" collection of teams.

After living there for years I do have a bit of a soft spot for Leicester and certainly did not want to see them finish less than mid table and definitely not in/around the relegation zone. But like the title-winning sides of Leeds and Blackburn of the early-to-mid 90s, it's essential they know their place.
