As expected Brendan Rodgers would ring the changes in the FA Cup, and with a solid squad you need to balance those opportunities for certain individuals as they are of course desperate to get some action in a team that is in such good form at the moment. The fact that so many players were…

Leicester 2, Chelsea 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Just as we hoped, an unchanged team, and playing to your own strengths as the opponent comes to Leicester to try to stop us, just perfect. And what a start it all was, with full control from the first kick on the ball as these players klick in a way that looks “nasty”. A Chelsea…
Leicester 2, Southampton 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Great to see Brendan Rodgers just following his formula of basics, trying to field your best team to win points, no one will ever fault you for that, and in the way this team is performing with this special line-up, you will be up there among the best. As Brendan Rodgers said in his post…
Stoke 0, Leicester 4, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers rested Jamie Vardy and James Maddison and just slotted in Dennis Praet and Ayoze Perez and to TCF’s delight just did the basics and natural move, though we would like Papy Mendy any day of the week instead of Dennis Praet, but anyway it worked so great and it was all the balance…

Crystal Palace 1, Leicester 1, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers had signaled that he would consider resting key players for the game against Crystal Palace, but at the same time field a team capable of winning, but with the rotation he decided few or no one would expect almost anything down at Selhurst Park. Brendan Rodgers must be said to show great braveness…
Leicester 2, Man Utd 2, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brendan Rodgers fielded the same team as against Spurs and would agree to that as a clever plan, and to keep 4-3-3 is the most important as Leicester made a competitive start, but it was Man Utd who striked first with a Marcus Rashford goal after 23 minutes. Harvey Barnes then equalized after 31 minutes…
Tottenham 0, Leicester 2, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Pleasing to see that Brendan Rodgers decided to play his best system and selecting a well balanced team in a 4-3-3, or if you like 4-5-1. The system that the squad is build around was perfectly selected and the players are set up in a way that they work best. To play Tottenham away is…
Leicester 0, Everton 2, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Strangely Brendan Rodgers changed his tactics against Everton and did not lay any trust in the work done so splendid against Brighton and his tactics again made it difficult to get the grip of the game as Everton showed great quality through two halves. Everton didn’t field their strongest side with James Rodgriguez sidelined and…
Leicester 3, Brighton 0, positives and negatives, player ratings, and match report
Brighton was a possible banana skin and when the line-up came to my face, you got totally riddled by the exclusion of Harvey Barnes, and again trolling with the system and fielding three players in the back again, which is a nightmare to see, and also playing a system offensively not easy to understand, strange…
