Brendan Rodgers is becoming more and more like Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, according to Simon Jordan.
The Leicester boss has guided the Foxes to second place in the Premier League table after 16 games.
And Leicester secured an historic eighth successive league win, which broke their previous top-flight record, with a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday.
Rodgers was sacked by Liverpool in October 2015 and replaced by Klopp, before going on to enhance his managerial reputation with Celtic and Leicester.
And now, talkSPORT host Jordan claims Rodgers is becoming ‘very Klopp-like’ in the way in which he utilises his squad.
He told the Final Word on talkSPORT: “Now you’ve got this narrative that’s being pedalled out again, which is Liverpool are 14 points clear of what they consider to be the next big team [Man City].
“Leicester are what they are, they’re a very good side. What I do like is Brendan Rodgers is becoming very Klopp-like because he’s getting the squad to be able to play now.
“If they lose [Jamie] Vardy, do they suddenly lose this ability to be quite as offensively-minded or quite as potent?
“The other kid they signed from Manchester City, [Kelechi] Iheanacho, has started to score goals – and he picked them both today (against Aston Villa).
“But the fact is he can rotate now because he’s got players who are in-form, and that has to tell you something about managers like Brendan Rodgers and Klopp, that they’re now beginning to get a real value of squad players.
“Rather than saying on a Friday afternoon, saying ‘the ones with the bibs know they’re playing and the ones without aren’t’, ultimately they’re having to manage these players as proper 25-man squads that are being resourced as and when they need them.”
