Why Leicester always throw away points from winning positions

How can this be happening?

It seems like an impossible take to accurately determining what is causing these meltdowns. Further is it difficult to explain the correlation between the style of play and how we are losing these points.

However, we have some pointers to help us. Possession is a critical element of modern football: you need to have the ball to do anything with it. However, two other elements are equally vital: progression and control.

In four of the PL fixtures, the Foxes had a majority of possession, and in their two recent matches (Everton and Newcastle United), Rodgers’ team had over 60% possession. Additionally, in those matches we do not even create the most in xG.

Therefore, I can say with certainty that in games where we are expected to be the dominant side, and we do genuinely dominate possession and progression, the Foxes lack control over the style of play and struggle to create against defensively oriented sides. When an opposition is defending well, we cannot break through.

Conversely, even when we are breaking through, not taking our chances, the opposition is consistently finding a way into our more vulnerable areas and create devastating chances on goal. The opposition are controlling the style of the game.

This frustrating circumstance is the result of at least two elements. Firstly, Rodgers has not worked out a way for the King Power club to win in multiple ways. Second, a lot of the players have been injured, tired, out of form, or simply not passionate enough.
