OH WHAT A NIGHT, LATE APRIL 2023
It wasn’t the greatest night for Brendan Rodgers. His former charges Leicester City, relegation-bound with the Brodge at the helm, were good value for a precious point at Leeds. Admittedly it was a game they could have lost, but on balance they probably should have won, and so that’ll be seven points from the last nine for new broom Dean Smith once they’ve dealt with Everton on Monday night. The Foxes suddenly look reinvigorated, back on point, James Maddison speaking after the game of the benefit of hearing a fresh voice in the dressing room, and it’s the biggest blow to Brenny’s reputation for elite man-management since he was captured on camera railing at a teenage Raheem Sterling while performing his famous pick-an-envelope conjuring act to a soundtrack of Oxygene, Pt.4.
