Leicester 0-3 Newcastle: Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s team creates the history of the unwanted club

The current series of eight games of Leicester without a goal at home is the same as that of Manchester City in May 2007. And with the table Liverpool close to visit, a new record could very well be established.

Van Nistelrooy is only the second manager in the history of the Premier League to lose eight games in the following house in competition, after Daniel Farke in September 2021 with Norwich City.

“What is worrying is the race of form, the lack of objectives, the lack of results that we can produce,” he told Sky Sports.

“Try different things, different structures, different players in different positions and there are no results. This is the worrying thing. This is a difficult night, especially in the race of the form in which we find ourselves.

“It is important to analyze it, sleep on it and recover from it. For now it’s everything. There are no questions, it deals with this setback, another, and for now it is what I can say.”

Foxes defender James Justin said players are fighting for trust while passing the weeks.

“It is difficult to describe, to tell the truth, with how it was and makes us feel terrible at the moment,” he said.

“It is difficult to find confidence. It is a horrible moment for the club with the way we play on the field and trying to regain confidence.”

Despite being in a series without victories of nine games, Leicester still has their status as a premier league intact, but Justin has not provided many hopes if pressed on the subject.

“There is still a possibility for us and we have to fight and claws for this, but we are not showing it on the pitch,” he said.
