Leicester: stumbling their way through the Premier League start

I find it difficult to start assigning defensive blame when looking through the lens of stats. You see, Caglar Soyuncyu has been seen as error prone and incapable yet has made 37 clearances over those games – without him we would have conceded many.

plus it would be difficult to bring in Daniel Amartey or Filip Benkovic ahead of Cags.

It is thus stylistic and systematic issues which should garner your attention.

‘RodgersBall’

4-2-3-1. Drill that into your mind. The primary formation chosen by Rodgers to go out into most matches and also our most versatile and perhaps best formation.

Yet 4-2-3-1 is flexible within matches, incessantly switching to a 4-4-2 in defence and a 3-4-3 at times of excessive possession. Flexibility should allow Leicester City to create more chances or defend better depending on the circumstances.

However, this has not worked. Finding out why is not difficult, the reason for our failure has been personnel. That is, the right personnel in form and available to make this formation work as intended.
