It's not a change of direction in tactics or philosophy on his part, it's simply that they no longer want to put the hard work in on the pitch.
I think a lot of it is to do with the fact there is no real competition for places, so players get complacent, sloppy and lazy on and off the ball, knowing thy are safe in the knowledge that they will be an automatic shoe in for the first team.
Well I hope we make some intresting signings in January to push our so called stars who are underperforming.

He's had his wrists slapped - it's the only thing that makes sense to explain this about face.
I really appreciate what Poch has with us, by most peoples standards it's been truly incredible, but this last 12 months has been a roller coaster of mixed metaphors and mixed up messages; one of us is losing the plot - and I'm sure it's not me !!!

After your consistent support for Aurier, I’m not so sure. ??He's had his wrists slapped - it's the only thing that makes sense to explain this about face.

For Poch to come out and say what he said, is admitting our players do not want to perform for him. That in itself is the worst scenario for any manager, and proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that he has failed.
Just as disturbing is that our players are not performing for our Club. That shows they’ve been poorly managed by all of their mentors and are in breach of their contracts. This is also the worst possible situation for any club, let alone a club with the most modern facilities and a club vying for top 4 and silverware.
Basically our Club we’ve entrusted to Poch is fucked. Our players won’t play for him or the shirt.
How the hell did we allow it to get to this?
Yet all the happy clappers bury their collective “in Poch we trust” heads in the sand whilst we implode.
This has all happened on Levy’s watch. What a disgrace.

We wouldn't get Brendon now, so he will be my unrequited love.
He's at a club that's cleverly rebuilt itself and Brendon is loving it, a genuine contender for a Top 4 finish.

I just can't stand Rodgers. He thinks he's Pep+. If he starts winning things he'll release a book a year of his own quotes.

Nice balance of experience and youth. Schmeichel, Chilwell, Evans, Tielmans, Vardy, Maddison. Goals for them might dry up if Vardy gets injured though, not sure how good Perez is yet. I don't think they will quite make top 4 this season.

Leicester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have all issued statements rejecting “false” doping allegations made in a Sunday Times report.
The Sunday Times said that a private doctor, Mark Bonar, claims to have prescribed banned performance-enhancing drugs to over 150 British athletes, including footballers.
According to the paper, which secretly filmed the doctor, Bonar claims he has treated “a few footballers” who have been or are currently members of the playing staff of Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City and Birmingham City players.

There is no independent evidence that players from any of these clubs have been treated by Dr Bonar and no evidence that the clubs were aware of any relationship between the doctor and any of its players, or of any alleged drug use. Bonar told the Sunday Times his work did not breach General Medical Council (GMC) rules and that it was athletes’ responsibility to ensure they did not take banned drugs.
“Leicester City Football Club is extremely disappointed that The Sunday Times has published unsubstantiated allegations referring to players from clubs including Leicester City when, on its own admission, it has insufficient evidence to support the claims,” said a statement from the Premier League leaders.
“Leicester City follows robust and comprehensive anti-doping protocols to ensure its full compliance and that of its players with all anti-doping rules and regulations.”
As part of the service he was offering, Dr Bonar is said to have introduced undercover reporters to a former Chelsea fitness coach, although there is no suggestion the coach in question was involved in the alleged treatment, or evidence that the coach referred players that Bonar claims to have treated.
“The claims The Sunday Times put to us are false and entirely without foundation,” said a Chelsea statement. “Chelsea Football Club has never used the services of Dr Bonar and has no knowledge or record of any of our players having been treated by him or using his services.
“We take the issue of performance-enhancing drugs in sport extremely seriously and comply fully with all anti-doping rules and regulations. Chelsea FC players are regularly and rigorously tested by the relevant authorities.”

Arsenal were similarly dismissive of the allegations: “Arsenal Football Club is extremely disappointed by the publication of these false claims which are without foundation,” said a statement. “The club takes its responsibilities in this area very seriously and our players are well aware of what is expected. We strictly adhere to all guidelines set by the World Anti-Doping Agency.”
BBC Sport has reported that the Championship side Birmingham City said: “The club have not used the services of Mark Bonar and have no knowledge or record of any of our players, past or present, doing so.”
The Sunday Times reported that Bonar claims in the past six years to have treated more than 150 sports people from the UK and abroad with banned substances such as erythropoietin (EPO), steroids and human growth hormone, and that the performance improvements were “phenomenal”.
The government has ordered an independent inquiry into the UK anti-doping watchdog Ukad over the accusations, with the culture secretary, John Whittingdale, expressing deep concern over suggestions that Ukad had not acted on evidence received two years ago.
“I have asked for an urgent independent investigation into what action was taken when these allegations were first received and what more needs to be done to ensure that British sport remains clean,” Whittingdale told the paper.
