It would appear the boys are trying not to lose rather than striving to win. When a squad does not believe in success they are doomed repetitive failures. Anyone that has played competitively understands this truism. Who knows? I may be wrong.
Right before the Liverpool match, I would somewhat agree. However, the 20 minutes of the second half against Man United suggest otherwise. As do the other matches when Ranieri took over.
I think poor tactics and lineup selection in the first half was clearly at fault here. That's all.
