3 Ways Leicester can cope without Wilfred Ndidi
By Akash Roy
Leicester City has been under scrutiny for its hollow defense, but on the other hand, praised for its lighting counter-attacking offensive creativity. That’s the reason why Rodgers can implement another dimension of possession-based creative football that aids in a counter-attack.
To do that, he would require a combination of the four of his best central and attacking midfielders.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Youri Tielemans, Marc Albrighton, and Ademola Lookman are perfect for that creative yet attacking approach. Excluding any CDMs with players like Harvey Barnes and James Maddison due to their poor form would be a good decision for a few weeks until they show development and consistency.
The last option is approaching the game more securely. Yes, you guessed it right, incorporating a part of parking the bus would help Leicester cover up their defensive flaws several-fold. Having five at the back is an approach that could help the King Power Club sit back after scoring one.
Mostly in recent matches, the east Midlands team securing a lead concedes too quickly. The approach remains the same before and after scoring or conceding. That needs to change as after getting ahead, the formation should culminate to form a defensive stronghold with some attackers making their way for extra defenders to come on.
