Brendan Rodgers almost admits what really happened on Boxing Day when Newcastle United visited nufc
Brendan Rodgers came into this Boxing Day match full of confidence.
No real surprise then that their form had then turned into six wins in seven games ahead of this game against Newcastle United. The exception in that run was a 1-0 defeat to reigning champions Man City, so no disgrace there. He does reference the fact that Newcastle United are ‘flying’ and have ‘quality’ BUT he doesn’t really acknowledge the fact that Leicester weren’t at their ‘level’ simply because the visitors never allowed them to be.
Any of you who have played football at any level, will be able to relate to this. You come out onto the pitch with every reason to expect you stand every chance of a positive performance and result, but then…the other team simply takes the game away from you, whether by ability or luck, or a combination of the two. If you are 2-0 down after seven minutes then the chances of coming back from that are minimal, indeed, even to get going is a massive ask.
Dazed and already defeated, there could have been more Newcastle goals before Joelinton absolutely dominated his marker and headed home the third on 32 minutes. After which Eddie Howe’s team coasted the game, whilst Brendan Rodgers and his players tried to get some minimal self-respect out of this hammering.
