Craig Shakespear has been sacked from Leicester.  Presumably because they are 18th...

you know having lost to all the team that should be higher than them but only drawing against those they should beat. They have an easy run between now and Christmas so whoever takes charge will turn things around but they will say it was the right decision.

They did have a bit on an unlucky fixture list at the beginning. They would expect to lose Arsenal away but as the game went on it should've been a draw. Lost to Chelsea and United. But yeah they had some draws that should've been wins. 

It's not just results, but performances.

When my team (Huddersfield) played them, they were incredibly poor when you consider a) the money spent on the squad and b) the expectations following the Premier League title win in 2016. Huddersfield had a goal disallowed too for offside, despite the player being square with the defender. They're really poor under Shakespear.

A fresh face playing effective football will have them midtable pretty quickly.
