Judging solely on their Championship run and the melting pot of players currently in their roost, a comprehensive analysis of their gameplay may be made. Looking at matches like the one against Liverpool in the 3rd Round of the Capital One Cup or the 2-0 win against Derby in the Championship right down to the game against Manchester City in the 4th Round of the FA Cup, an unparalleled brilliance has come to light.
Leicester, last season did not rely on possession at all. Rather, the department they impressed the most in was the accuracy of their passing game and most noticeably their quick counter-attacks spelt misery for their opponents and success for them. Based on Boro's current line-up and recent performances, they could be looking to emulate something similar that Leicester pulled off.
Against a City lineup that included several big names like David Silva and Sergio Aguero, Boro pulled off their sixth consecutive clean sheet of the season before taking the lead through a stunning piece of counter-attack that earned Patrick Bamford the result. With all their signings it seems it seems the season will continue to be based on this kind of football.
