Southampton v Leicester City: 5 Key talking points

What does this result mean for the Foxes?

Although the majority of these talking points reflect the frustration of the match, it is important not to get carried away with potential negativity. As Brendan Rodgers loves to say (inspired by Cruyff), “If you can’t win it, make sure you don’t lose it”. Therefore, whilst in the circumstances, it may seem that such a result is two points dropped, this point may be invaluable at the end of the season especially considering the poor performance. Indeed the manager himself echoed this sentiment, in his post-match interview as per LCFC.com.

With three wins being enough to secure Champions League football, LCFC remains in a strong position to bring back those ‘Wednesday nights’ to the King Power stadium. Even though the end to the season is admittedly difficult, it is worth reminding pessimists that Leicester boasts the best head-to-head record versus the ‘Greedy/Big six’.

Finally, amidst a weekend where football and sport stand united in a social-media boycott against abhorrent abuse, such actions must serve to make a lasting difference. Yet, to properly tackle abuse, accountability is needed at the top and hopefully, this weekend resonates with social-media chiefs and CEOs.
