Wout Faes’ great Leicester debut amidst poor collective result

Therefore, during the match – despite the awful result – the individual performance of the debutant is unquestionable. Strong, possessive, progressive, and composed. As I have said, I do not feel any of the goals were the fault of the centre-backs: they could do no more than prevent close range shots. Danny Ward could have done much better with the longer range efforts.

What more do we need to see?

It would be unfair to judge the player negatively on a single performance in a trash result. This is why we have focused on the positives. However, when replacing one ‘WF’ with another, and expecting a ‘Cags’ style of player, I would have liked to see more aggression in tackling.

Leicester City need to press more, tackle more, and maintain a compact shape to improve their defence. Nervousness had inflicted other players, causing omissions from duties and a lack of challenging. Instead, they preferred to just be in the way and not actively engage.

Perhaps it was a tactical decision by Brendan Rodgers, but we need to see more active engagement and challenging from the player in the defensive third. It is all when and good putting that pressure on in the midfield third, but it is not useful when you have a player like Son barrelling down on your goal.
