Leicester boss Rodgers wants more from Vardy, Maddison

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says they need to find more goals.

Rodgers admits he wants more from Jamie Vardy.

He said: "I know where we need to improve, we don't have enough goals in the team, simple as that,' he said. 'There's not enough creativity but let's see how we can work and make it better. If we can't, we need to do something about it.

"Jamie is on 10 goals, the next one is (James) Maddison on five. There's clearly an area we need to address. Wingers need to understand, no matter how young or old you are, that your job is simple — to create and score goals. If you work a season and score two goals as a winger, that's not good enough. It's about getting them more aggressive and pressing the game higher, to get more chances.

"When I went to Liverpool they'd scored 47 goals and within two years they were the first Liverpool team to score over 100 goals. Hopefully in time I can do the same here and create a really dynamic team. Speed, power, creativity."
