Rodgers appeared less concerned about the impact speculation has had on him than what rumours could do to both the Leicester fans and his players, who are potentially more vulnerable to being unsettled by outside noise. "He's already established an incredible level of play, and he probably will for the next 10 or 15 years, depending on how long he wants to play," Rodgers continued. "But that is definitely the most difficult thing because they are just waiting for you to show a chink in the armor, a slight fall off so that they can, you know, they can bury you." This term, they remain incredibly difficult to break down. At times, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has been busier than Tuchel would perhaps have liked but the raw numbers show they have conceded just four times in 11 Premier League games, the best record in the division. The next stop for Bird and Alexander will be announcing the squad that they have selected for the forthcoming Vitality Netball Superleague season.©2021 Sky UK
