If these 3 team elements occur Leicester will avoid relegation

With the international break done and dusted, our focus resumes monitoring Leicester City’s dire situation. Now more than ever, we need a few miracles.

The fixtures in April come thick and fast, with three games happening in the first eight days of the calendar. The odds predict the Foxes to survive the season, but to the ones following the team regularly, we have every right to be concerned.

After salvaging a point against Brentford, Brendan Rodgers’ side managed to stop their misery of losing five consecutive games in all competitions. However, as the community pointed out: one point was not enough. The times have made the situation dire, with demands seeking all three from presentable opportunities.

There has been a public display of agitation, even from players, who question the possibility of relegation by engaging with reporters calling their poor performances out. The outfit needs to regain control over the kind of narrative they would like to exist within because, frankly, at 17th place – you don’t get much to say.

With 11 Premier League games in hand, Rodgers faces the challenge of his illustrious career. What factors will help him?

With these 3 elements, Leicester City will avoid relegation

1. Relegation scraps doing worse

This season plenty of teams have failed to match their expectations. While bigger sides have struggled to usher in their dominance, so have the midtable teams. Joining Leicester City is West Ham United, Southampton, Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Leeds United- who have all fared poorly throughout this season.

If nothing astonishingly changes, the King Power club might have to count on others’ misfortunes over self-development. The Hammers are stranded in the danger zone, right below the Foxes, with a deficit of one point with a game in hand. We must check how David Moyes’ side fares in the coming weeks. I have a feeling it will somehow chalk out City’s fate.

Similarly, Nottingham Forest and Everton are likely to struggle like Leicester City, so there’s every possibility that some side plays worse than we do to ensure we stay in.

2. Tactics are drawn out to a tee

We like experiments because without them, what is the point of watching football anyway? But there is a time for that, and it’s certainly not now. The vital thing that Rodgers must keep his focus on is playing with his strengths and utilizing systematic man-management to gamble on the results.

For example, Jamie Vardy has been a bust this season, so don’t play him until you’re without options. Utilising ither Patson Daka or Kelechi Iheanacho for the remaining games is essential.

Youri Tielemans and James Maddison will possibly leave after this season, so play them because they can bolster the midfield better than anyone in the squad. Their shared talents can sometimes snatch out a few crucial points.

Danny Ward has been a liability, and his inconsistent stint in between the sticks didn’t help his cause either. We are glad that Rodgers finally gave Daniel Iversen to have a go. Such constructive changes are appreciated, but changing things for the sake of changing is the issue that the manager needs to refrain from.

3. Finding luck?

Some may call it extraordinary, while others might coin it as luck. Whatever you think it was, the East Midlanders would cordially accept the rewards of the “Great Escape” this season.

Luck or not, no one can deny that this season comes close to monitoring the results so far of that spectacle. We have to note that Brendan Rodgers is no Nigel Pearson, but without a managerial change, we can only hope and wish that somehow in some bizarre fashion, the Northern Irishman clicks to fix the mess he curated.
