Absolutely mental how little time Brendan Rodgers has been in charge of Leicester and he's already managed to make the team click unlike this sulky dope

They were fine under Puel, they beat City, Chelsea away and drew at Anfield under him. Rodgers hasn’t had to overhaul the squad, simply make small additions to an already solid and settled unit.
 

Needs Brands to get rid of the bad apples asap, and get him in the needed players.

Don't think there's any point to sacking Silva before Xmas. If there's no improvement when the key players return MAYBE there'll be a case if things are really terrible. But not so far.
 
So we are now saying that realistically we have fallen even further down the pecking order, we are really no better than a mid table side?

Ok as long as we all accept that.

Since we finished 7th under Koeman in his first season we have regressed again and are back to the mid table standards Martinez left us in.

To be fair, he has been slightly unlucky to injuries to both Gbamin and Gomes in a key area of the park, and it can be argued that to go into the season with DCL as our main striking hope was nothing short of ridiculous.

As for the defence, I had absolutely no problem with Mina replacing Zouma. We spent nearly 30m on him, he came from a vastly superior side and is a full international with World Cup experience. To leave Holgate as the only cover was a gamble, but then people complained (as did I) when we tried to sign Rojo as it seemed to show a lack of ambition and thought.

In summary, unless this team clicks then it’s going to be another season of nothingness, let’s hope we get lucky and have a decent cup run.

Who are the bad apples though mate? We've pretty much got rid of anyone who you could say would have been a negative influence.

This is pretty much Silvas squad now, a squad he ain't getting any kind of tune out of

Not sure about that. Only going from memory but hadnt they just lost 4 home games on the bounce? And i recall leicester fans hating his style of play as it effectively wiped out one of their main dangers. Vardy.

Fair question, I have no idea mate, purely a hunch as I sit on my arse here, a feeling I get looking at this group of players, that there's some rotters/snides holding back to team work.

More solid is the need for a better CB and probably a CM and CF. I.E. the spine of the team; I think Silva asked for much more from Brands in the window and would not yet consider this his squad as such.
