' Nothing wrong with 4-4-2 '

Leicester have lost only two out of 25 Premier League games this season, and what has been really refreshing about their success is they have simply stuck to what they are good at.

The reason so few sides have been able to deal with their tactics is not because they do not know how to cope with counter-attacks and an old-fashioned 4-4-2 formation, more that not many of them have even tried.

By that, I mean when teams have played the Foxes, they have believed they could beat them playing their way - and paid the price.
Foxes' formation is a perfect fit

Some people think the 4-4-2 formation Leicester use is a bit prehistoric but they are showing it is a great system when your players know how to play it perfectly.

That is mostly down to coaching and the work they have done as a team in training, but it also relies on the intelligence of individuals to know they are all defending when they have not got the ball - which is a lot of the time.

Unlike the rest of the top teams, they are not bothered about possession - Leicester's passing statistics are among the worst in the top flight.

Said it yourself though, they are good at playing 442 and have the players for it. We aren't, and don't.

I know it's all about opinions but I don't think you can say we aren't going at playing it or don't have the players. 5 points off the playoffs. Scored only 1 less goal than boro who are top of the league. It looks pretty decent. Could we do better? Yes of course but it's going OK.

Danny Murphy couldn't have put it better himself...

This^^^^ We've got a manager who persists in trying to put square pegs into round holes.

When it works !They play a different version of 442

Leicester have pace and movement up front with quality on the flanks, hard workers in the middle with defend first full backs. We don't.

Up front we did the big man little man combo that neither were comfortable with.

We are on our umpteenth combo of CM's and wide players.

They don't lump it up to a big man, they play it into space, only Whitts has demonstrated he is capable of those sort of passes.

They are like Wimbledon of the 80's, not the style of play, but offering such a different style modern defenders used to the ball be "tiki tacered" in front of them are finding hard to deal with.

Arsenal can more than match them for pace. 4-1 to the Arsenal tomorrow.

Like what above said you need the certain type of players for it we don't.
