You'll definitely get top 4. Rodgers changing to two up top had freshened everything up for you which is key at this point. Rodgers teams have a habit of drifting slightly after a certain period but this change of formation has given you fresh impetus.

Great! We’ll all pretend it was a tactical master stroke rather than forced by injuries to Barnes, Maddison, Under, Perez and Praet.
Sshhhhh!!!
3rd formation change of the season to cope with injuries. Lost our creative players but got our defenders back so he’s changed it up.
Credit to him. And credit to Vardy who seems to be adapting his game to play in a 2.
Good feeling going in to the international break.

To be fair he still didn't have to go two up front, covered for Vardy's lack of goal scoring form certainly though
good luck n best wishes too Leicester City

You sound like a sore loser!
What will you do if Man City wins the FA Cup, jump off a tall building??

Not all that bothered what they do win, though I obviously don’t like them very much. I just don’t want to see any club match or surpass the 99 treble. Nothing wrong with that really; I’m sure there are loads of Arsenal fans who can accept seeing rivals win the title as long as they lose at least one game along the way.

I was deliberately being a little provocative.
The truth is I do think BR has been forced into using different formations with all the injuries. In a way it doesn't matter because he's still had to make them work.
He's done that brilliantly over the season. To stay in touch with top four after so much disruption is something I couldn't envisage too many managers achieving.
So, it turns out Kelechi Iheanacho has saved our season.
Bet nobody had that on their bingo card.

I definitely think it should be seen as Rodgers successfully finding the right formation for the right players each time.
He tried to play Nacho behind Vardy and it didn’t work so when Fofana came back he immediately went 3-5-2. Credit to him for being able to adapt and put in formations that get the most out of our team. We’ve had a back 5 twice now - once to protect a makeshift defence, but the second time to give the foundations to put 2 up top.
It’s quite impressive when you analyse it.
I don’t think Rodgers would have automatically tried this formation, but it’s definitely become an option for us.
It is amazing to think that we lost arguably our player of the season in Justin, then Maddison, then Barnes who also had stepped up massively and was playing so well but because he got injured we have had to change formation. Now Kelechi is on a role..
It also helped as we have all our centre defenders fit means we can play the formation with less concerns and so its working great but will be very interesting to see what we play when Barnes comes back
It is a stunning achievement in this day and age. It's interesting to see the reactions each time too. There are certainly fans who will congratulate us - I always tend to feel the best way to react to a loss, particularly a league loss, is to say: "Good show; well played; we'll beat you next time". And that's fair enough.
But sometimes the reaction from the club we've just played is almost like we've triggered an existential crisis, that this result is a sign of them getting swallowed up by "the pack", and forgetting the many millions their club makes over ours each year and the potential that comes with it. In comparison, we're planning to increase our ground's capacity to 42k at some point in the next few years. That's still well below anything the big 6 offer.
I guess it's for us to just continue to enjoy the ride.

Fair point. I didn't know Stamford Bridge was so small. (Or rather, so medium)

Totally agree. Great job Leicester! Now we have some fan dragging ground fan capacity into the discussion as a cheap shot at Leicester. What the hell difference does it make if you have a large stadium capacity and you can't win a trophy. The PL, and English football in general, needs Clubs like Leicester City.
