Leicester City have run rampant in the Championship this season, but now it’s been claimed there are things Enzo Maresca’s side struggle with.
This season barring against Hull, has been a walk in the park for Leicester City and Enzo Maresca.
39 points through 14 games is a record tally at this stage, leaving talks that Leicester could be the best of all time.
Promotion and the title look increasingly likely as rival managers accept they could be uncatchable.
Now, however, a journalist has suggested that there could be an area Leicester struggle with.
Leicester don’t like sides that sit deep claims Journalist
According to Jordan Blackwell on Leicestershire Live, Maresca seems to struggle when facing a low block.
“I think Maresca knows they will always find it difficult when they take on a team that sits deep.
“He’s said before that when they train against the Under-21s and they sit in shape in the penalty area, his first team find it tough to break through.
“But I don’t see it being a sign of them struggling. I just think that’s natural.
“And they’ve still managed to do enough to win games. In fact, against Stoke, they properly dominated and kept the pressure on high up the pitch.”
We aren’t worried, low blocks have been beaten all season
The claim is quite interesting considering Leicester have beaten everyone but Hull including various sides that employ a low-block. While it does take a little longer, the result tends to remain the same regardless of how the opponents play.
We don’t think there is reason to be concerned about this, with Maresca knowing what he is doing and also having players who are quality enough to dominate any side in the league.
