The pressure is now surely too much for Marti Cifuentes or the powers-that-be at King Power Stadium to bear. The atmosphere has turned toxic, as chairman Aiyawatt (Khun Top) Srivaddhanaprabha feared. On the previous occasions when the Thai businessman has noticed that ill-feeling enveloped the ground - he acted and dismissed several managers.

Now we are, sadly for LCFC in general, expecting the owner to make the same decision with respect to the Catalonian. Cifuentes won't be remembered particularly fondly by those of us in the Blue Army if he is indeed sacked over the next few days, or before City play Midlands rivals Derby County at Pride Park Stadium.

Although, this whole mess isn't really Cifuentes' fault - irrespective of the view that he wasn't the best motivator or tactician from the outside looking in. Top, the main man on Filbert Way, along with his director of football Jon Rudkin, are chiefly at fault in my opinion. Therefore blame for team results kind of lies with the negative and endemic LCFC ownership and their cohorts.

But today (Saturday, straight after the Blades defeat) we are focusing on the individual performances from the Foxes stars and their backups. Here are Leicester's losers from the latest nightmare, this time at the hands of Sheffield United

Who let the Leicester City side down versus Sheffield United?

We are going to have a look at Leicester Mercury's Player Ratings article (accessible by clicking here) in order to gauge the media's reaction to the display. An effort which gained some form of respect thanks to a two-goal fightback.

First of all, Asmir Begovic received a score of '4'. Which is rather odd because he is said to 'not be at fault'. Defenders Wout Faes and Luke Thomas were also given that same appraisal.

"Patson Daka: He just wasn’t involved in the game at all. There were a couple of poor touches when he dropped deep to get the ball as well. It’s a shame that he does not seem to have kicked on since his goal last weekend. 3"
Jordan Blackwell, LCFC Live

Midfielder Harry Winks won't like his 4 grade either. But Patson Daka managed a 3!
