RODGERS DEMANDS MORE FROM GOAL-SHY LEICESTER FORWARDS

BRENDAN RODGERS plans to replicate his free-scoring Liverpool team at Leicester but stressed the need for players other than Jamie Vardy to score goals. Vardy is Leicester’s leading scorer with 10 in the Premier League, with James Maddison next on five. In total, Leicester have 35 goals in 29 games so far this campaign. Liverpool scored 101 times in the Premier League in 2013-14 season under Rodgers, and he identified improving the production of Leicester’s forward line as a priority. ‘I know where we need to improve,’ he said. ‘We don’t have enough goals in the team. There’s not enough creativity. ‘Wingers need to understand, no matter how young or old you are, that your job is simple — to create and score goals. If you work a season and score two goals as a winger, it’s not good enough. When I went to Liverpool they’d scored 47 goals and in two years they were the first Liverpool team to score more than 100 goals. Hopefully, in time, I can do the same here.’
