Brendan Rodgers made a mess out this game, and his selection of players looks like a fools act. Strange that a full time highly paid manager could make errors like a kid in a kindergarten. It’s a fadese and not to understand, but obviously players should also look themselves in the mirror. The start was…

Braga 3, Leicester 3, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers knew that at least a draw would settle further games in this tournament and he rested a number of key players and gave starts to some of those fringe men who he hopefully believed would take the chance But it was Braga that started the game best and after just four minutes they…
Liverpool 3, Leicester 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
This was the time to get a result at Anfield, and it was again a team picked with a defensive approach, though both Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes started and they both played a bit out of position and it never worked, both players delivered below avarage. A tribute to Ray Clemence before the game,…
Leicester 1, Wolves 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Another change to the line-up, but it looks as if everything works for Brendan Rodgers at the moment, and especially the defence looks so solid with great credit to Wesley Fofana, but not to forget Christian Fuchs either, who has been steady in the back as well, a key to the results lately as him…
Leicester 4, Braga 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers and his Leicester City are on a great run at the moment and with a new selection of players in the starting line-up v. Braga, Rodgers just continued to deliver a great and solid performance over two halfs. Kelechi Iheanacho was the preferred player up-front and with James Maddison also in the starting…
Leeds 1, Leicester 4, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Another team selection based on the opponent and system chosen also for that purpose, but also considering a number of injuries, it looked as a good plan, though few had believed it would turn out as a perfect masterplan again from Brendan Rodgers Leeds forward Patrick Bamford is not yet showing the stability you need…
AEK Athens 1, Leicester 2, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
A team picked with a bit of rotation, Jonny Evans and Timothy Castagne missing the game due to injuries, but again an interesting line-up with quality on all positions, a rare start also for captain Wes Morgan, playing alongside 17 year younger Wesley Fofana. As said before many times, fielding James Maddison and Jamie Vardy,…
Arsenal 0, Leicester 1, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers made a change to the line-up that few would have thought about, as it looked like an ultra defensive approach from the manager, playing without a forward letting both Vardy and Iheanacho sitting on the bench from start. We all knew what was coming and Leicester City just used the same approach as…
Leicester 3, Zorya 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers fielded James Maddison from start and suddenly Leicester City were a better team, Christian Fuchs also got a rare chance to prove himself in a 90 minute display, and the rest of the team also contributed well. But it was Zorya who had a great chance to score early on, but a great…
Leicester 0, Aston Villa 1, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers had to make a few changes with Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy both missing the game, in with new recruit Wesley Fofana and Kelechi Iheanacho, two obvious choices as the team looked balanced and settled with the two players just slotting into those positions. Again it was no place for Marc Albrighton, a…
