Rodgers hints he’ll drop these underperforming Leicester stars

However, the biggest issue for LCFC has been their lack of creativity and goal threat from multiple sources. Harvey Barnes and James Maddison just aren’t firing well, especially Maddison whose creativity has just dropped. It’s been over fifteen matches for Maddison in the Premier League without a goal or assist to his name. Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho is stuck on the bench, even though he has offered serious energy whenever he has come on.

The 24-year-old revitalised his career in the second half of last season and finished as the club’s top scorer in all competitions last season. Leicester fans are eager to see him kick on this season, especially when the East Midlander’s are crying out for a second goal threat. If Kelechi can kick on, then James Maddison may find minutes harder to come by soon.

The other problem area is Harvey Barnes who, despite an impressive pre-season showing against Villarreal, really hasn’t been the player that Leicester fans know and love. The recent addition of Ademola Lookman now poses a genuine threat to Barnes’ spot in the side. And I haven’t even mentioned Daka in this.

Leicester City are blessed to have as many options on the bench as they do now. Previous seasons have seen the Foxes suffer with a lack of serious squad depth, something that fans will hope has now been addressed.

The game against Napoli on Thursday offers a fresh opportunity for several players – I’ve a feeling Iheanacho at least will start, and that Evans will get some more minutes into him. The future of LCFC is bright – just as long as their stars show up.
