Leicester 3-0 Arsenal: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis

#3. Rodgers’ flying Foxes hunt another team down

Rodgers has re-ignited Leicester's season

Brendan Rodgers has never been too far away from the back pages in England. While he was among the top headline-makers during Liverpool’s last surge to the title, he found himself hammered by the same media for the inexplicable decisions that followed at Merseyside.

Thus, his return to the Premier League was always going throw up the odd bit of drama.

Though his tenure hasn’t yet delivered on the drama quotient, he certainly has made his presence felt.

The Irishman has lost only twice in eight Premier League games while he has won five of those matches. However, the most impressive aspect of his nascent stint has been the style of football he has employed.

For far too long, Claude Puel’s Leicester weren’t optimally utilising the resources at the disposal courtesy a brand of unattractive football. Vardy, Maddison and the likes found it tough to adapt to the Frenchman’s demands and the hosts unsurprisingly blew hot and cold.

But, with Rodgers at the helm, the Foxes have been flying as the Irishman’s insistence on attacking football has been the breath of fresh air the club was crying out for. After all, Leicester has racked up 17 goals in eight games under his stewardship.

Though there are still a few flaws to iron out for the club, they definitely are moving in the right direction.

The Foxes started the season brightly but endured a scrappy mid-season. Yet, with effervescent football back at the King Power, they are still in with a chance to progress to the Europa League.

While the 2018-19 season might not be as picturesque as the last time when Leicester qualified for Europe, it certainly is a shot in the arm for Rodgers.
