If we had appointed Nigel Pearson a few managers ago, we might be sitting where Leicester City are today.

People will say it is Claudio Ranieri's team but no, its Pearson's. They started to click under Pearson in the second half of last season finishing in 14th position just below us.

We would also see proper pacey attacking creative football instead of the cr*p we know we will see today under this footballing anti-Christ. That's almost certainly the reason for the apathy on this site and flukey wins like today with Arsenal will not dispel the negative feelings that are clear under the Pulis era.

Not too sure that Pearson is that good. He did do a good job keeping them up, but they've arguably improved under Ranieri's counter attacking style which gets the best out of their star players.

Case in point...

Riyad Mahrez who is arguably one of the top 5 performers in the Premier League this season was barely ever given a start by Pearson. I remember watching them last season on numerous occasions and Mahrez was by the far the best player every time, despite that, Person rarely ever started him. As someone that just enjoys watching 'proper' footballers that annoyed me. If Pearson was interested in attacking football, he would've started Mahrez every week -Instead he preferred journeymen wingers with more 'defensive' qualities - a bit like what you're complaining about with our current regime.

It's no surprise that now Ranieri plays Mahrez with free licence, he's creating chances at will.
