Wes Morgan is City's famous former captain, leader and legend of old. The former Nottingham Forest player certainly made his name properly as a Fox.
Although he was not one of the most cultured defenders to grace the Premier League (often eschewing aesthetic grace for a rugged, uncompromising physicality) the ex-Jamaica international was totally effective and committed. These are the visceral elements currently missing from the LCFC defence, as well as its defensive midfield, where a perceived lack of fortitude has led to a catastrophic erosion of the LE2 club's top-flight stature.

Morgan expressed a profound, heavy-hearted sadness regarding the Foxes' recent demise, lamenting the dissipation of the unique alchemy that once propelled them to the pinnacle of world football. However, where Morgan offered somber reflection, Robert Huth provided a more searing indictment.
Robert Huth on Leicester City trials and tribulations
Huth was a more well-known centre back before joining City, a three-time Premier League champion who featured prominently for the Germany National Team. Huth was harsher in his assessment of the King Power side, and rightfully so!
The 41-year-old essentially labelled the current squad pathetic; suggesting a lack of the psychological steel that defined his own tenure during the title-winning odyssey. ​Heavy criticism emerged from the German for the disgraceful conduct of Harry Winks, whose lack of defensive industry and apparent entitlement drew Huth's particular ire.

The ex-Chelsea man also noted just how poor the group has been in navigating adversity, suggesting that the contemporary locker room lacks the accountability required to survive the unforgiving climate of even lesser English football. Others like Marc Albrighton noted how heartbreaking all this is.
"Yeah, it’s sad more than anything. I think there’s a sadness that probably surrounds it about how it can just allfall apart so quickly," Albrighton exclusively told Stats Perform."
To these titans of the past, the current trajectory is not merely a dip in form, but a betrayal of the identity they bled to establish at King Power Stadium. Fearless Foxes no more.
