Steve Cooper’s position as Leicester City manager is already under scrutiny from some supporters, but Danny Murphy says give him more time
Danny Murphy has called for Leicester City supporters to not jump the gun with perceptions of Steve Cooper.
The Foxes booked their place in the League Cup’s last 16, but to do so were taken to penalties by League Two opposition in Walsall after a lacklustre 0-0 stalemate.
Also after five rounds of Premier League football without victory in the new season, fans began to vent their frustrations from the Bescot Stadium’s away section with chants of ‘Cooper, sort it out’ and ‘this is embarrassing’.
You’ll always get a certain section of fans who are never happy,” Murphy responded on talkSPORT. “They were dominating the league [Championship] playing possession-based football last year and there was a section of them for which it became ‘too much football, too much tika taka’, you know? They wanted it to change then.”
The former Liverpool and Fulham midfielder offered a negative review of the style of play the club have turned to in replacing Chelsea-bound Enzo Maresca with Cooper, but ultimately sided with the Welshman’s approach, at least for the time being.
“I think Steve Cooper is pragmatic in his approach with this Leicester and I think it is probably the right way to go. I’ve seen a couple of the games – one live, and a couple of other 90 minutes. They’re not a great watch, not particularly adventurous.
