+1
I hate the term anti football. They played the game of football and won the league. If tiki taki is so much better, than prove it in the league next year because this year Leicester are champions!
Agree. Most of what Leicester did this season is the bare minimum that should be expected of professionals - they gave their all everytime, ran around, chased people, chased lost causes, blocked shots.
If we'd put in the same level of effort, with the better players, we'd be 15 points clear of them. The lack of effort from the majority of teams in the league has been shown up.
And before anyone blames the CL, how many who started on Sunday will play tomorrow? Were Kolarov and Delph saving themselves? No, we're just a bunch of lazy, arrogant twats who got our arses handed to us by average footballers who cared enough to try.
Football always evolves and tika taka was doomed once Chelsea and Inter suffocated Barca, Bayern took them apart, then Spain were made to look like old men at the world cup by younger, more energetic teams. This season, we've been at least 3 years behind the times and deserved what we got. It'll be interesting to see if Pep can cope with Atletico tonight, as he's going to get that week in week out next season.
Well done, Leicester. Raised the bar again and now it's time for others to respond.
