Van Nistelrooy vows Leicester ‘still in the fight’ to avoid drop
However, Leicester’s support is time.
The five-point deficit is not insurmountable, they have 11 league games left – that’s 33 points.
However, their upcoming fixtures look tough, with the next four games being a trip to Chelsea and Manchester City and a family match against United and Newcastle.
Leicester defender Wout Faes said players still think they can stay up late.
The Belgian said: “Of course, there must be faith.”
“Weekend weekends, the game countdown. I don’t think we have to think too much about moving forward. We just have to think about the game, we have to start winning very quickly because the game is counting down.”
However, those who have watched the recent games are not that optimistic.
“I hate to say to any group of players, but it’s hard to provide them with what we’ve seen,” former Leicester midfielder Neil Lennon said on TNT Sports.
“West Ham doesn’t have to do his best to win the game comfortably. With zero quality and zero belief, the game seems to be over.”
“I think they’ve disappeared,” former Chelsea forward Joe Cole added. “I think they’re both gone and Southampton.
“How do you get these players to show some kind of spark from now until the end of the season?”
