Steve Cooper rose to prominence at Leicester City‘s rivals Nottingham Forest, taking the club to the Premier League and surviving in their first season before being sacked last December.
His association with Forest aside, Cooper was also not viewed as the most inspired of appointments given his pragmatic style and the fact his tactics are so different to those that won Leicester the Championship.
What has happened on the pitch has done little to flip this narrative, particularly after a week in which Leicester drew 1-1 at home to bottom of the league Everton before drawing 0-0 with League Two Walsall and eventually scraping through on penalties in the Carabao Cup.
Many fans feel Cooper made unnecessary defensive substitutions as Leicester squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, before his side managed just two shots on target against lowly Everton last week.
A Premier League win remains elusive for Cooper at Leicester and a trip to Arsenal this weekend may well be the last thing he or the team need.
