Leicester defender Conor Coady, speaking to Sky Sports after relegation to the Championship was confirmed: "We've not been good enough all season. I thought we played quite well today, moved the ball well and nullified Liverpool - they're a world-class side. But we look back on this season and it's not been anywhere near good enough.
"We've got to look at ourselves as players in the mirror. We have to now, what's happened has happened. We have to try and put this club in a better position come the summer because we haven't been good enough.
"We've took a bit of stick and we'll continue to take stick because it's deserved. From minute one this season, we haven't been at a level to fully compete in the Premier League and you have to be because it'll chew you up and spit you out.
"It's something we have to look at because we're absolutely devastated."

Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League for the fifth time (1994-95, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2022-23, and 2024-25), with only Norwich (6) and West Brom (5) ever suffering more relegations in the competition.
Leicester have become the first team in top-flight history to go nine consecutive home league games without scoring. Today was also the first league match at the King Power Stadium in which they've failed to land a shot on target since February 2023 (0 v Arsenal).

Leicester ended their long losing run with a draw at Brighton last weekend, but I'm afraid another defeat is on its way for the Foxes here.
Liverpool were as limp as anything against West Ham last time out, but they still got over the line. They could be even limper against Leicester, and they will still win to move even closer to the title.

Leicester City defender Conor Coady says the club being on the brink of a second relegation in three seasons is "not good enough" and has left him "devastated".
It is possible the Foxes' fate could have been sealed before they kick off against Liverpool on Sunday, if results go against them.
"We can't look too far ahead because we are not in a situation where we can affect anything. We are nowhere near good enough to the teams above us. We can't look at that," said Coady.
"Just show yourself, give the best to yourself every single day. And no matter what happens, we go in the summer and put this club in the best place it can be.
"I never had a relegation in my career. This club is on the verge of having two in three years. It's not good enough. I am absolutely devastated and it's not something I've ever wanted for this club or in my career."
Coady also said the players should make the most of Sunday's opportunity to face Liverpool, who are a maximum of six points away from sealing the title.
"These games don't come around too often," he added. "Given the situation we are in now, we might never get these games again.
"Go and enjoy them. Go and enjoy playing at King Power Stadium against a world-class team on the verge of winning the Premier League title."
Van Nistelrooy on 'trying to shape a future' and facing Liverpoolpublished at 12:09 18 April

Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpool at King Power Stadium (kick-off 16:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
The Foxes' relegation could be confirmed before they play on Sunday, although they will definitely be down if they fail to beat the Premier League leaders. Van Nistelrooy said: "We've been in these circumstances [in the bottom three] for a long time. It's not a matter of it being mathematically done or not, it's about us showing ourselves in every possible way for every minute we're in this league. It doesn't affect that bit."
The former Netherlands striker added: "It's a bigger thing here. We're trying to shape a future here and those weeks are vital for every player. That is what keeps us going."
Van Nistelrooy reported no new injury concerns, while Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga are likely to be back in full training on Friday and available for Sunday's game.
He said it was a "big moment" for Abdul Fatawu to return to training on grass, as he continues his recovery from the serious knee injury he sustained in November.
Asked about the positives from last weekend's 2-2 draw at Brighton, when the Foxes ended their long goal drought, Van Nistelrooy said his side gave a "spirited performance" and it is "something to build on".
On Liverpool, who could be confirmed as Premier League champions on Sunday: "The general quality of the squad is very balanced. Mohamed Salah's form has been a huge factor in them achieving their goals, and also Arne Slot and his assistants have done a tremendous job in their first season to be in this position to be able to win it."
'No belief, no fight, that's all left them' - Fryatt published at 11:18 18 April

Former Leicester City striker Matty Fryatt says the club and the players are devoid of belief and fight and blamed "poor recruitment" as one of the fundamental reasons the season has turned out the way it has.
The Foxes find themselves 18th in the Premier League table and needing to win all of their remaining games and hope that either West Ham or Wolves do not win a single game if they are to survive.
Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Fryatt said: "There's no belief, there's no fight, that's all left them, which is understandable. Haven't been scoring goals, been conceding goals far too easily.
"And as the season has gone on, the gap has got even bigger. Leicester have been really poor.
"You can look at it many ways - the recruitment hasn't been good enough. The players that have come in haven't made much of a difference. Some of them aren't even in matchday squads. And then you've obviously lost key players.
"It's been a really difficult season. Leicester's recruitment has been poor."

Leicester City have won just two of their past 13 Premier League games against Liverpool (D1 L10), with those coming consecutively at home in 2021 (3-1 in February and 1-0 in December).
The Foxes are looking to avoid becoming the first side in top-flight history to go nine consecutive home games without scoring a goal. In Football League history, only Mansfield Town in the third tier between August and December 1971 (9) and Wolves in the second tier between December 1984 and April 1985 (10) have achieved this unwanted feat.
Mohamed Salah has scored in all five of Liverpool's Premier League games against newly promoted sides this season (seven goals). No player in the competition's history has scored in six separate matches against promoted clubs in one campaign.
'Van Nistelrooy's idea of promoting young players is sound'published at 13:45 17 April
13:45 17 April
We asked for your views on Leicester City and things that are not being talked about at the club but should be.
Here are some of your comments:
Nick: Keep players who want to play for this club. Need to get rid of a lot of dead wood.
Jim: I would suggest they try hard to get rid of several players who are not up to standard. Van Nistelrooy's idea of promoting the young players is sound and a really good team could be developed over the next few seasons. Keep Vardy. Give him a job at the club. Perhaps as a forwards coach. They must eventually come back to the Premier League but as a far better team and better organised.
Ian: Leicester City has been supplying the Premier League with some of the best players and sold them to the top six for years. A state-of-the-art training facility and a dream come true history. Is it time to sell the club to investors who can continue Leicester City's legacy for years to come?

In the latest episode of BBC World Service's World Football podcast, we bring together two sports not usually associated with each other - football and snooker.
That's because four-time world snooker champion Mark Selby's career has been strongly linked to his hometown football club, Leicester City.
He became world champion for the second time on the night of the Foxes' iconic Premier League title win in 2016.
As he prepares to try to add another world title to his collection at the World Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield, he has been telling John Bennett about his footballing passion.
McAteer 'ran himself into the ground' on starting XI returnpublished at 12:41 16 April

Leicester City academy graduate Kasey McAteer says the Foxes are "just looking forward now" after falling 17 points adrift from Premier League safety, but reassured supporters that the players "won't stop trying or fighting" this season.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester after making his first start since Leicester City's 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United in December, McAteer said: "I haven't played for a long time and I've been very frustrated, but I haven't stopped working hard and I've been putting it in day-in day-out in training.
"It's times like this where you can tell you have worked hard in training because you can feel it. I felt a little bit of cramp in my calf towards the end of the game, but I think that's because I ran myself into the ground.
"I did everything I could out there on the pitch - and hopefully I keep getting given the opportunity.
"As a team, we are just looking forward now. What has happened in the past is in the past, so we are just looking forward. We can build on today and then what will be, will be. We won't stop trying or fighting.
"We've had results this season that we cannot let happen again, such as the Tottenham away win and then going to Everton where we were beaten. We cannot let that be a thing that keeps happening to Leicester.
"We need to keep looking forward and putting the hard work in, then we can see where we are at the end of the season. We will just keep trying our best."

"We scored a goal, we scored a goal, we scored a goal..."
Such was the elation at scoring our first goal in 758 minutes at Brighton, this chant went on and on.
It has been a long-running debate among Leicester fans as to whether this squad was ever good enough to stay up. From the performance on Saturday, one could argue that Leicester really should have been in the mix and looking to finish near the top of the bottom six, had we got our house in order.
The stark fact, though, is that our house has not found any kind of "order" all season and this performance has come far too late and far too infrequently.
Changing managers so early in the season is a high-risk strategy but such is the financial precipice with modern football that these hasty decisions are made.
Leicester have had pace and width available all season, but Saturday was one of the few times that these attributes were utilised with the correct personnel, coupled with the return of Ricardo Pereira to his inverted full-back role at 61 minutes - the key ingredient of our promotion season.
Ricardo has not been available under Ruud van Nistelrooy because of injury, yet Steve Cooper made the decision to exclude Pereira continually during his tenure. Ruud has not really played with legitimate wingers or an attacking midfield (Patson Daka being the makeshift right winger in recent games), so were we ever giving ourselves a chance with these two managers? Hindsight is 20:20.
To achieve survival, your available players must play in the correct positions to try to force an attack in this increasingly possession-based game. We have experienced square pegs, round holes; tactics that are the antithesis of where our strengths lie.
But I am glad we finally had something to cheer about and some glimpses that the spirit of Leicester is still there. Just in time for the Championship.
Brighton 2-2 Leicester - the fans' verdictpublished at 10:52 14 April

We asked for your views on the 2-2 draw between Brighton and Leicester in the Premier League.
Here are some of your comments:
Brighton fans
Stuart: One of the worst performances I've seen at the Amex. Dunk was really poor, and I love Hinshelwood, but he's not a right-back - he is constantly out of position. Too many passes on the edge of the box, please just shoot. Leicester deserved the point.
Jas: As awful as it was predictable. There weren't many Brighton fans turning up expecting us to win. The squad is ravaged by injuries, Dunk very sadly no longer good enough for this level and a head coach that's just been given a role too big for him. Any talk of Europe has to stop as we should just hope we can finish in the top half. It's been a really underwhelming season. Need it to be over quickly!
Anton: See it so many times, great play and clever moves until it gets to the last strike, then it all goes wrong. We have missed a ton of goals season after season which should have been converted. Watching us move the ball with clever calculated passes, great intelligent game play and sometimes an almost second sight, just to be let down in front of goal.
Leicester fans
Brad: Who is this Leicester side?! Couldn't score if our lives depended on it! And yet on Saturday they played like a team that had something to fight for! Let's hope we can now end this season on a bit of a high.
Mick: Mavididi our best player - why hasn't the manager used him this season? There's a half decent team in there somewhere but Van Nistelrooy hasn't got a clue what his best team is, nor can he inspire them to fight for the club whose shirt they are wearing.
Dave: A much better performance from the lads and on another day with a different referee we may have won the game. Coady penalty was harsh, Mavididi not given a penalty when his opponent had his hands around the neck/throat and his face. Encouraging signs, but we had them against West Ham too just after Ruud arrived.
Is Mavididi a player to build around for next season?published at 09:07 14 April

Former Leicester coach Mike Stowell highlighted winger Stephy Mavididi as one of Leicester's standout performers in Saturday's draw with Brighton.
Speaking to the When You're Smiling Podcast, Stowell said: "He was a joy to watch. As supporters, it's not all about hard tackling, strong challenges and running hard. You want to see exciting flair players and he was that player today.
"Where has that been? Has he been under the weather, has he had a fall out with the manager? We're guessing here, but based on that performance, you pick him every week.
"Performances like that give you hope for next season. When some of the players like Casey McAteer and Mavididi put in performances like that, you think about building on that with those players for next season. Some of these players will be fighting for contracts and fighting for their place next season."
Leicester show some fight but relegation loomspublished at 19:07 12 April

Speaking before the trip to Brighton, Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy promised his side will keep fighting despite relegation from the Premier League looming large over them.
"There's always a fight left, there's always a future, whatever the scenario," the Dutchman said.
And fight they did in a spirited 2-2 draw against Brighton as Stephy Mavididi and Caleb Okoli scored to help them came back from behind twice and earn their first point in nine league matches.
The Seagulls were pushing for a place in Europe and it was no surprise it was the home side that started the game on the front foot, with Joao Pedro pulling them ahead from the penalty spot.
But Leicester fought back as Mavididi ended their run of 885 minutes without a goal in the top flight to make it 1-1 before they conceded a penalty again soon after the restart.
But the Foxes displayed grit and determination, which they have lacked for most of the season, to rescue a point as Okoli headed home from a Bilal El Khannouss free-kick in the 74th minute.
The Foxes' fighting display at Brighton is one that would have pleased Van Nistelrooy.
But it could prove too little and too late for his side as an instant return to the Championship could be confirmed as early as next Sunday when they face leaders Liverpool and 17th-placed Wolves take on Manchester United.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Leicester's draw against Brighton: "We could've nicked it. Verbruggen saved Bilal El Khannouss's shot just slightly on to the post. We had some opportunities to score the third and the second half was better of the two, Brighton were better in the first half.
"The season couldn't end like this with a lack of goals or with this run of form and we broke that cycle today.
"We want to finish the season in a positive way to ensure we start the next season as good as we can."

Stephy Mavididi netted Leicester City's first Premier League goal since Bilal El Khannouss' winner against Tottenham Hotspur in January, having conceded 22 goals since last scoring. Indeed, it's the second-longest run in the same Premier League campaign after Ipswich Town in April 1995 (27 conceded).
