Leicester trophy winner's radical advice for van Nistelrooy | OneFootball

One former Leicester City star has some advice for floundering and seemingly stressed Foxes manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. This particular pundit, who is himself a football boss, is far from the first expert to offer candid critique and consequent suggestions to the LCFC gaffer. And, with all due respect, van Nistelrooy definitely needs some help on and off the pitch.

The ex-Fox, who won the League Cup with the east Midlands outfit, wants the one-time Manchester United star and interim head coach to make a dramatic change to his formation, and system by byproduct. You could even describe the proposal as a potentially radical and possibly impactful alteration for the King Power team.

So what is this guidance or recommendation for RvN exactly? Do we believe the Leicester side would benefit from the adjustment? Or is Robbie Savage talking nonsense, like he's been accused before? In addition to that, Savage also labelled one City performance as the most underwhelming he's seen in the Premier League all campaign. Wow. But which display was he referring to? There are so many to choose from.

Robbie Savage says Foxes effort at West Ham United was pathetic, with his old team sleepwalking to relegation

Savage is right, on this occasion anyway, when he says LCFC were effectively asleep at London Stadium. He actually said he was "horrified" with the Foxes' endeavour in the English capital.

The 50-year-old rather accurately described Leicester as "limp" versus West Ham. City lost 2-0, though that was a flattering scoreline - for the visitors!

I previously wrote and suspected that van Nistelrooy could perhaps substitute his 4-2-3-1 set-up for a three-centre back style. This way, LCFC may prevent so many leaks in defence.
