Leicester made a number of defensive errors and were bereft of any real creativity in attack, with caretaker manager Ben Dawson fielding a back five.
Dawson, who was part of Steve Cooper’s staff, named Stephy Mavididi and Bilal El Khannouss on the bench, which was a strange decision.
So ahead of Tuesday’s game against fellow strugglers West Ham United, it’s become pretty obvious what Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first XI should be.
Dawson named a really defensive team against Brentford and it just didn’t work at all.
In fact, it just invited pressure on the back four and that’s perhaps the weakest area of the squad, so it was a baffling set-up by the caretaker boss.
That said, van Nistelrooy is expected to be a much more front-footed manager, so there’s a good chance Mavididi and El Khannous make the starting XI vs West Ham.
