Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has been outlining what he believes Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first jobs should be as Leicester City manager on Match of the Day, after the Foxes suffered their fifth defeat in eight games against Brentford.
“He has got a hell of a job [ahead of him],” Murphy suggested. “I think the first thing is trying to build some confidence and getting the lads enjoying their football a little bit again.
“Then he has got to make a decision on what style he wants to play. Obviously the fans have been a little bit disgruntled with Steve Cooper’s pragmatism, but I don’t think they can play too openly because we saw what happened in this game.
“They have got some half-decent fixtures coming up where they will feel like they can get some points. They have four home games in the next six, so that’s not too bad for him.
“I’m excited to see what he can do.”
