Alert Team
I tend to agree that on paper our squad is every bit as good as Leicester's. Perez, as an example, is nowhere near the calibre of a top four player in my assessment. It's not however always about the individual quality of the players is it. Team spirit and commitment can carry a team a long way, and add to that, Brendan Rodgers has made all the difference between Leicester being a mid table versus top four team. On team spirit, commitment and managerial impact, we come nowhere close currently.
Nicely put. I can see why Rodgers was apparently approached about our managerial position. They've been lucky with injuries but he has knitted them together well.
It will be interesting to see whether they can sustain the threat of losing key players, deal with the additional fixtures next season and cope with a few key squad players advancing into their thirties (Vardy, Evans, Fuchs, Morgan, Albrighton etc). Throw in a few injuries and all of a sudden it feels similar to us.
