Leicester City have conceded 42 goals in the Premier League so far this season, a joint league high alongside Wolves, and let in two more in their defeat by Manchester City.
On the latest episode of BBC Radio Leicester’s When You’re Smiling podcast, former Foxes winger Matt Piper discusses Ruud van Nistelrooy’s full-back options.
“I do like Victor Kristiansen. He is energetic, he has got all the passion and endeavour, he gets up and down the pitch – but he just lacks quality in certain situations, especially against top wingers.
“James Justin has obviously proven that he has the level to be really good at Premier League level previously, but he is just in a really low moment. We saw some heavy touches and his decision-making is a little off.
“I’m pretty positive that the only reason why he remains in this team is because there is no other real option [at right-back]. I would give Hamza Choudhury a go and take a chance on him.
“I think a player in form, that can deputise well at that position, will give the whole team much more confidence.
“Justin is just prone to mistakes at the minute. That’s why I thought that Choudhury would have started at Anfield, and why I thought he would start against Manchester City.
“We didn’t lose the game because of James Justin – I will make that clear – but if Ruud has a little bit of money to spend in January, I think looking at both full-back areas would be a wise decision.”
