Leicester fans don't hold back criticism of player after Coventry loss

Once again, a decent first half performance from Leicester City Football Club was ultimately disrupted and eventually eliminated by their own questionable midfield and defence in the second half versus Coventry City. The Leicestershire side took the lead after a mere 10 minutes of play when legendary loanee Jordan James slotted home once more.

The assist was actually better than the goal, to be fair: Bobby De Cordova-Reid played a sublime flick on the turn to set-up the Stade Rennais man. Hopefully James will sign permanently soon; that would be a true lift for a truly suffering LCFC fan base at present. Unfortunately there is not much else positive to report for the Blue Army from the clash from the Coventry Building Society Arena venue.

Subsequent to taking the lead versus their Midlands rivals, and following the interval, the illusion that this Foxes squad can ever be trusted or staunch was brutally shattered on 47 minutes as the visiting defence became static and seemingly uninterested or overwhelmed. They switched off, in other words; or the Leicester back line in particular are simply not capable of performing as a collective or as individuals in this division.

Ellis Simms was somehow able to get a glancing touch on a textbook cross for Coventry’s equaliser. Luke Thomas could have probably got himself set better on the line to clear, it could be argued, because he made the initial effort. Some observers considered LCFC unlucky to be pegged back. Yet the tide had turned somewhat. Following this, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Haji Wright combined to take all three points. On this occasion, the Fox in question got everything wrong at left back: positioning, awareness, committing to the moment, toughness and his reading of the game.

Consequently Leicester fans did not hold back in criticism of the player after the Cov' loss. Thomas struggled in other moments too.

Oh dear Leicester City and Luke Thomas
