Leicester City: 'It's my opportunity to consolidate that left-back spot' - Luke  Thomas - BBC Sport

Ruud van Nistelrooy just broke a horrific top-flight record at Leicester City – it stood for 65 years

Leicester City’s visit to Manchester City on Wednesday night was another example of why the Foxes are destined to play Championship football.

The Foxes are 12 points adrift of 17th-place Wolves after losing 2-0 against Man City, recording an xG of just 0.02 and failing to score in another game.

Leicester City: 'It's my opportunity to consolidate that left-back spot' - Luke  Thomas - BBC SportFans called for Ruud van Nistelrooy to resign after the game, seeing the Dutchman as someone who is out of his depth in the Premier League and incapable of taking them back up next season.

Van Nistelrooy has broken several records for all the wrong reasons at Leicester, including losing seven league games in a row without scoring.

Unfortunately, the 48-year-old is putting his name into the top-flight history books for another unwanted record, and it makes for grim reading.

Since becoming Leicester manager in November, supporters haven’t watched the fast, attacking football that was promised and have instead been forced to witness a car crash of performances.

Van Nistelrooy has looked out of his depth tactically, and even when Leicester changed to a 5-3-2 formation, issues defensively and in attack have continued.

Some will now place the former Man United striker as the worst manager in the club’s history and one statistic reinforces why that might be true.
