Trouble in Leicester. Trouble that this club has not faced since the 2014/15 season, which preceded the fairytale of winning the Premier League title. Back in 2014/15, in the final eight rounds of the Premier League, the already forgotten Foxes recorded seven wins and a draw and with 19 points, ‘jumped’ from the bottom of the table and ended the campaign in the safe zone.Since then, Leicester have not finished their campaign among the top ten teams of the English elite for only one season, and in the 2019/20 and 2020/21, they wrestled with the members of the big six for a place in the Champions League, but lost their pace in the photo-finish. All in all, good years are behind Leicester with Brendan Rodgers at the helm. The Northern Ireland specialist did an excellent job with Leicester in his first four seasons, but results at the start of the current campaign have launched him to the top of the list of favorites to be sacked.##NAJAVA_MECA_6686238##The Foxes drew against Brentford at the start of the Premier League, and then a streak of six defeats… Admittedly with games against four of the six most powerful English clubs – Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham. They also played great against Brighton, currently the fourth-placed team in the table.Rodgers is in trouble, and the respected British Telegraph writes that the pressure will increase with the presence of the club’s boss Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha in the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest, which is scheduled for Monday. The boss of the club did not attend his team’s match since August 20, i.e. the 2nd round of the Premier League and the defeat against Southampton (2-1). Now he returns from Thailand to the King Power Stadium to see for himself whether Rodgers should be sacked.Many fans have already turned their backs on the 49-year-old strategist believing that he is the main culprit for the poor results. However, the club’s management could, given everything Rodgers has done for Leicester since taking the helm in 2019, as well as austerity measures that have left him without adequate reinforcements this summer. The sports sector made a big mistake. Not because of the sale of Wesley Fofana for 80-something-million euros and the replacement of Wout Faes for 17,000,000, but because he let the experienced goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel go to Nice, without providing an adequate replacement.Brendan Rodgers on his future: “I’ll respect whatever the decision is. I think if you saw the first half you’ll see the confidence and attacking play”. ⚠️🔵 #LCFC pic.twitter.com/soVYdWhPsX— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 17, 2022 With 22 goals conceded, Leicester are currently the most porous defense in the Premier League, which is largely due to the spirit of the Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward, who has the same number of conceded goals and successful saves (22). And that’s a devastating statistic for a goalkeeper.
