A very concerning new statistic for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester

A worrying new statistic has arisen for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. With the Foxes struggling for consistency, intensity as well as points.

First of all, calls to sack Rodgers emerged from a section of the Blue Army because results and performances have bordered the unacceptable this season. Following this, bookmakers suspected that the Northern Irishman would be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. And he appears to have remained in that unenviable position.

Then came media speculation suggesting that the former Liverpool boss was “under pressure” at King Power Stadium. Subsequently hearsay stated that he was only one top-flight loss away from being relieved of duty at LCFC.

After this, Leicester chairman Top Srivaddhanaprabha asserted that he feels Rodgers, along with his staff, are the right people to rectify contemporary issues. Though the statement from Khun Top could be interpreted as the ‘feared vote of confidence‘.

Some would suggest many of the problems are of the previously mentioned team’s volition: defending set-pieces, style and certain tactical choices. Finally, trustworthy reports now claim that Rodgers has the full backing of the east Midlands outfit’s board.

Injuries cannot be underestimated with regard to negative impact on the side as a whole, as well as results. Obviously that is likely bad luck; and Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana and Jamie Vardy should return soon. An imminently immeasurable boost to their teammates.

New stat illuminates worrying Leicester City season

As you can see for yourself via the above tweet, the Foxes have drifted into a concerning area. Two draws from five fixtures so far this year is actually unacceptable, in Foxes of Leicester’s view. Having the lowest haul is a shock.

A particularly disconcerting element is that the club which is just outside of the relegation zone, Newcastle United, find themselves only five points behind the current FA Cup holders.
