Leicester managed it over a season when they won the premier league. They got absolutely hammered in possession stats all season but their defence held firm and they released for the likes of Mahrez and Vardy to counter with pace.
Ultimately, this right here is the reason. I know the figures are likely not completely accurate, but we all know we've spent a lot of money trying to replace two exceptional players and for whatever reason it hasn't worked out. Ultimately the man at the top will be the one who pays the price...
