Where's Nev when you need him?
10 games in is his normal point to see how we're doing so far.
So what do you think?
4th in the League, through to the next round of the Europa with Two games to spare.
All this with numerous injuries to a number of key players, at one stage the whole back 4 were out and Europa Games to fit in to an already hectic Season.
Surely this means we're having an excellent start, Rodgers has got the team firing again after last Seasons fall off a cliff?
Wins against Man City, Arsenal , Wolves and Leeds would suggest so!
Wait though, terrible performances against Liverpool and Fulham in the League in the last two games, is that enough to call Rodgers Fraud or was it just a couple of 'those ' nights?
Last Season's collapse started with the beating by Liverpool at Xmas, is this recent defeat the start of another collapse or can the very near return of Ricardo, Ndidi and Castagne stop the rot?
All this with Covid affecting everything in the players and Clubs lives, they seem to have coped better this Season so far, breaking records for away wins etc along the way.
It wouldn't be Leicester if we didn't have some drama, so far they've succeeded to provide that, overall it's still a Great start to the Season.
10 Games in

I think we’ve done pretty well considering the disruption caused by injuries. I’m thinking the lack of fans in stadiums has evened out any home advantage clubs usually have, which helped us at Arsenal and Man City. Also paved the way for Fulham West Ham and Villa to collect maximum points at King Power.

The table is an accurate reflection of our season so far. When we're good we're very, very good (joint most wins with 6) and when we're bad we're awful (4 losses) with nothing in between (0 draws).
Home form is a worry and it remains to be seen what effect a few opposing fans at some away matches will have on our away record.
Overall, I am pleased with our start and will be even happier if we can be less inconsistent, pass to a blue (or maroon) shirt going forward, get Maddison influencing games more and Barnes hitting row Z less.

We can obviously be delighted about our (current) position regarding the Europa League, and that the squad has worked well.
The problem is that you don't get any rewards in sport if you're inconsistent. And it looks like the nerves are still there at the important moments. Just like at the end of last season, it seems that the squad lacks the fortitude needed to truly achieve something.
That and of course we're not creating enough chances.

DM, I see teams snuffing out Maddison, this effectively denying our main goal threat , Vardy any or very few chances . Top teams seem to be playing three strikers these days. Maybe we need to follow that trend.

We had a poor end to last season, so I was quite worried about the start to this one given that Ricardo was injured and we had to cope with disruption from the Europa League games and Covid.
So to have qualified for the next stage of the Europa League with two games to spare, some brilliant results and being nearly half way to 40 points after only 10 games is an excellent start.
However if the question is what sort of season is it, the answer is absolute garbage because we are being prevented from watching football, one thing I've realised is what I really enjoy is going to matches, not watching the TV with the dreadful canned crowd noise.
