Ranieri played a counter attacking style, having vardy and mahrez was massive.
Kante gave them dig in midfield.
You're missing Phillip's and Bamford, Cooper three key player's so don't think it's fair to compare tbh.
If you are missing players then adapt.
Klopp adapted Liverpool slightly when they lost Van Dijk and Matip and them other players.
I find it difficult to use the injuries as an excuse when
1) the club passed up the opportunity in January to bring in reinforcements so therefore the club dont feel the injuries should be an excuse.
2) We make no allowances for them, in our style of pay or tactics, nothing, we play as if nothing has changed.
If the current Champions at the time had to adapt slightly to try and cope better with their injuries then so should we, if Bielsa is incapable then that is poor for a coach being paid millions, if he is unwilling because he doesnt feel the squad can adapt or he doesnt want to then that reflects badly on him in both scenarios because he has helped build an inflexible 1 dimensional squad and is actively putting his philosophy over the clubs survival.
Neither explanations reflect well on a man being paid millions of pounds a year.
