Here are some of your comments:
Leicester fans
Keith: An absolutely disgraceful performance. Van Nistelrooy has surely managed his last game. A reluctance to change out of form players and no motivation from the manager are sealing Leicester's fate, and six home losses with not one goal for the fans to cheer. Good riddance.
Chris: Awful. Definitely the most unlikeable and possibly the worst Leicester side I have seen in 30 years. I wish people outside Leicester fans would understand we're not expecting more this season - we're angry because obvious, unchecked mismanagement for the past four years has got us to this point. It is terribly sad and made worse because we all saw it coming.
Ed: Such a shame - a decade of proving we were a really well-run club is finally over. That was the worst first 45 mins I have seen at the King Power.
Jim: Absolute dross! I have always believed in the positive but there are no positives to hold on to. The manager needs help or dismissing. I would ask Nigel Pearson to lend a hand if he fancied it. It was his team that won the Premier League. Also, clear out the rubbish as soon as possible!
Brentford fans
George: Four well-taken, well-produced goals. Other than Flekken's gloves getting a bit of a try out in the first 15 or so minutes, Leicester never looked like they wanted to be there. But for Brentford, the spirit and determination within this side is undeniable. Is it time to renew our passports for a European holiday?
Ian: Wow! Brentford fully deserved this win. Damsgaard again being the architect. The Wissa-Mbeumo combination continues to cause defences havoc. Schade's pace is an added attacking ingredient. In fact, the whole team and replacements used put in a solid shift. Brentford are placed nicely for the run-in. Europe next season? Who knows, but keep going Bees!
Simon: At times we played like a top-six club. Damsgaard was excellent; Wissa and Mbeumo too. To think we don't even have a fit centre-forward…
Mitch: Brentford made easy work of a Leicester defence which couldn't handle the relentless pressure applied by Mbeumo, Wissa and Schade, and with Damsgaard in the form of his life, we looked ultra sharp. How Schade did not win a penalty for an obvious foul is beyond me, but another great day for the Bees.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has lost 10 of his 15 Premier League games a manager – twice as many as he lost in 34 matches in charge of PSV in the Eredivisie (5).

"From now on, I can only ask the players to play to their capabilities. So far we are doing everything we can but the level of opposition that we face is too big for us. It's difficult to compete. We get disappointed every week and then we have to try and pick ourselves up.
"We have to recover from blow after blow. Then we have to pick ourselves up and try and get some positives performances. I can only say that every individual, me first, is taking full responsibility. I have to recover and reflect, like all the staff here and take it from there.
"Brentford took over. They killed the game. Overall you have to give them credit, they outplayed us. They are ahead of us with their squad. It was too difficult for us to compete with them."

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Leicester defender Michael Morrsion says Friday's match against Brentford is a chance for the Foxes to put pressure on relegation rivals.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Morrison said: "With the game kicking off the night before, you can gain a psychological advantage on your opponents if you win. It's a great opportunity to put pressure on everybody.
"No disrespect to Brentford, but they are games you are looking at and thinking you can win this. It makes it more exciting with everyone realising the advantage we can get from it.
"We will have to be really good at set-pieces, defensively - Brentford are a threat with them. We can't try too hard to score and leave the back door open because Brentford are really good at counter-attacking football."
Leicester have not won at home in the Premier League since 3 December, when they beat West Ham in Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in charge, and they have lost their past five league games at King Power Stadium.
So, it would be massive for the Foxes if they can get anything at all here to help in their relegation fight, but I just don't see them keeping Brentford out.
Van Nistelrooy had just been appointed but was watching in the stands when the Bees hammered Leicester 4-1 earlier in the season and I am expecting their creativity and attacking energy to be too much this time, too.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
The latest episode of the When You're Smiling podcast has landed.
BBC Radio Leciester's Owynn Palmer-Atkin is joined by former Foxes defender Michael Morrison to discuss Andy King becoming part of Ruud van Nistelrooy's first-team coaching set-up, and preview Friday's match against Brentford.

Image source, Getty ImagesI was a fan of Steve Cooper. He struggled in the end at Nottingham Forest but with the transition with all the players they brought in at once, he had to try to manage and cope with that.
He was then given the job at Leicester and I was excited to see what he would do. However, they spent a lot of that time fighting around the relegation places. But, with the three teams that got promoted, I am not sure there was anyone that really gave those teams a chance of maintaining their Premier League place, which makes it a difficult one. What are the expectations of the club?
That is part of the problem. The expectations of the club compared to the expectation of the fans. That is a problem across the Premier League and football right now. Cooper did not get the results and fans turned against him.
But, if we are going to measure his success based on points picked up compared to Ruud van Nistelrooy, it would suggest it was a mistake to sack him. However, with Van Nistelrooy, he has come in and he has tried to make them harder to beat. They have not managed to get the results that maybe match up to the performances he has brought out of the team.
I think Leicester are in the position they were always going to be in, no matter who was in charge. They were always going to be fighting relegation and anything else would be a bonus, so it was always going to be difficult for the manager.
Leicester did not really invest when they came up, they did not have the money to as there were financial difficulties from when they were in the Championship. They came back up with a Championship team that was mostly the side that took them down the year before and were not good enough to stay in the top flight.
What has helped Van Nistelrooy, however, is that his communication is really good. He is quite open with the current situation and has been understanding of the fans wanting to protest against the running of the club as long as they support the team in these difficult moments.
He has been winning the fans over, which Cooper did not do, so from that side of it, it was probably the right thing to bring Van Nistelrooy in.
