Matty Fryatt Suggests Van Nistelrooy May Need to Alter Away Game Strategy

During the most recent installment of the When You’re Smiling podcast, Matty Fryatt, a former striker for Leicester, put forward the idea that the Foxes might need to modify their strategy in certain away fixtures. He stated: “I think they approached it in the way that Ruud van Nistelrooy wants his teams to go about it. They were on the front foot and went after Newcastle. There was not a lot in it in the first 20 minutes or so. “By that manner, it took a lot out of Leicester’s players. Sometimes with all the energy and intensity, you switch off when the ball goes out of play. That might be a part of it. Once the game wore on, it took everything out of Leicester from what they tried in the first 20 minutes. Newcastle took full advantage of the space that was afforded to them. “It might be that they [should] sit in away from home and look to play on the counter, especially against the likes of Newcastle and teams of that Ilk.”
