A fairly tame Middlesbrough side managed to produce an almost predictable ending to the clash with Leicester City on Tuesday evening. Boro fans had to wait until the 96th minute to equaliser against the Foxes. Sadly those of us in LCFC's Blue Army fan base have come accustomed to disappointment of late.
The East Midlanders have only produced one victory in nine attempts in the English Football Championship. Unfortunately this form has entered the unacceptable for Marti Cifuentes; after he seemingly got away with so many draws as the latest City head coach.
But which of the Catalan's men could be accused of letting their boss, along with their teammates, down versus the visiting team? Here are Leicester's losers and winners (if applicable, in all seriousness) from the stalemate with Rob Edwards' Middlesbrough. This may take a while following the most recent service!
Two Leicester City players can hold their heads high, sort of
Ben Nelson and Luke Thomas received respective scores of '7'. That was as high as it got.
"Luke Thomas: The highlights of his evening were certainly his deliveries from wide. The whip and pace he put on his crosses and free-kicks were City’s most dangerous weapon in the first half and should have got him an assist. Defensively, he did a difficult job well. 7"LCFC Live
These Foxes let the side down
First of all, Caleb Okoli could be accused of (and, indeed, has been) failing to appropriately defend the box, his opponent or his general area. Leicester Mercury certainly questioned the 24-year-old due to Luke Ayling's equaliser.
Elsewhere, Okoli was fairly solid even though playing a hybrid role. The Italian was given a '5' by the outlet. One of his defensive partners, Jannik Vestergaard, was also given a 5.
Star LCFC player Abdul Fatawu was handed a 4; which is a massive let down. He was accused of sulking in the first half and was apparently spoken to by Cifuentes. The Ghanaian should get his head in the game and should definitely do a lot more, especially in this division!
Oliver Skipp (4) didn't control the match as is expected, it was claimed. Jordan James (5) and Julian Carranza (4) round off the pretty disappointing Foxes.
