Where are Leicester's leaders? Time for a change

Wow, just wow.

Just when you think you can't sink any lower, the players go and put in a performance like that first 45 minutes against Sheffield United.

For fans of Scooby Doo, will we pull off Marti Cifuentes' mask and find it's Ruud van Nistelrooy underneath all along?

Here is a guy who, if he looked at our record last season, would see that we lost 17 consecutive matches playing 4-2-3-1, and yet here he is starting with it every week.

Cifuentes said the second half was more like he wanted to play, so why not start with those players and formation? Sheffield United were rocking.

We dithered over Brendan Rodgers and it cost us. We acted too soon over Steve Cooper and it cost us. We completely messed up with Van Nistelrooy and, well, you know the rest.

Make the decision now. In my opinion, Cifuentes has to go before we hit the January transfer window.

As for the players. They have just not been good enough.

Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare, Ricardo Pereira, to name a few, it's time to move them on.

If the youngsters had been played earlier in the season we would not have the situation like Olabade Aluko starting against Southampton, getting sent off and looking like a rabbit in headlights.

Where are the leaders in this squad? I don't see them. And we have a captain that can't play every game.

Surely things can't get worse? But, as Mick McCarthy would say, "it can".

Marti you don't seem to have a clue, the players have been an embarrassment, and the ownership needs to take accountability. Top, your interview earlier this month was too little too late.

Foxes never quit? This bunch need to prove they haven't.
