Still, without them trailing in behind, the Foxes showed guts. The side never gave up and took the fight to the Wolves, who faltered in theirs.

Being resourceful with assets

A thing that landed Rodgers into scrutiny was his poor man management. He remained hesitant to make substitutes or use what he had. Using the same personnel with similar tactics and philosophy gave the side underwhelming results. The idea of building from the back made Leicester‘s monotonous approach outgrow the stay of its manager.

Concerning that, Smith said every player gets a clean slate with him. The Englishman has been quick-witted enough to quip himself with whatever help he can get from the assets he inherited. Even players with diminished roles got integrated into paramount rejuvenation. Both Çağlar Söyüncü and Boubakary Soumaré, who had fallen in favors with Rodgers, had their best performances in a Leicester City shirt last weekend.

Extracting the most from individuals who have a point to prove could become a benefit if utilized carefully. Smith has showcased that he is brave and humble enough to tweak experimentations for survival.
