I don't think the Pearson factor can be discounted in looking where Leicester are this year; as has been said they were virtually top of the 'form table' for the last dozen games under Pearson weren't they? For sure Ranieri has tinkered and made them even more effective this season but they were playing pretty well and very effectively last season too.
IMO there's a fair bit of luck involved as to how players gell and how they play; TP had Palace playing fast, counter attacking football in stark contrast to his years at Stoke, and Pearson maybe even struck it lucky for the last ?12 games last season, as for the first 6 months of it they were atrocious! So much seems to be about massaging the poor little footballer's precious little egos so they actually put some effort into things - that seemed so obvious watching Liverpool last night.
I believe that Pearson is the messiah of attacking football just as much as I believe TP is footballs' anti Christ
