To lose at home to Swansea City, for Leicester City Football Club, is generally unacceptable at any time. When facing relegation from the EFL Championship - the action becomes completely unforgivable.
Yet the vast majority of the Blue Army wouldn't forgive many of the pathetic and pitiful contemporary Foxes anyway. In the wake of this latest capitulation, the King Power faithful were forced to endure a deluge of strange banter from particularly weird rival fans on social media. A peculiar and infantile norm in the modern era.
This outlet noticed Swans supporters in their fifties and sixties being notably abusive online. A particularly odd paradox for a generation generally expected to possess more dignity.
​But back to the football, thankfully - or not! That is because City's disastrous squad showed themselves to be, in general, exactly what they are: gutless. This was not merely a defeat: it was a surrender that lacked the fundamental grit required for a survival scrap.
"Divine Mukasa: He was barely involved at the start and while there was one nice pass over to Daka, there was very little else to shout about. In the second half, it was his poor free-kick that led to the Swansea goal, and he then dallied on the ball to frustrate fans further. 3"Leicester Mercury
The collective performance was a hollow shell of professional standard. It is punctuated by a lethargy that suggests the weight of the shirt has become too heavy for those currently and undeservingly sporting it.
Leicester City's dreadful player ratings
​The personal scores for the Swans fixture read like a who's who of soon-to-be totally deserving League One athletes. From the porous defensive line that allowed Swansea to dictate terms, to a midfield that lacked both the vision to create and the stomach to tackle, every metric pointed toward a catastrophic failure of character.
"Jakub Stolarczyk: 4
Luke Thomas: 4
Jannik Vestergaard: 3
Jamaal Lascelles: 5
Ricardo Pereira: 5
Oliver Skipp: 4
Harry Winks: 4
Stephy Mavididi: 4
Divine Mukasa: 3
Abdul Fatawu: 5
Patson Daka: 5"
There is no escaping the reality that this group of players are sleepwalking toward an ignominious fate. Unless a radical shift in temperament occurs immediately, and rivals begin losing, these these men will find their names etched into the darkest chapter of the club's history, relegated by their own lack of spine regardless of organisational failures.
