Leicester fans hold rally in support of Claudio Ranieri

The home side’s pressure was rewarded when a through ball from Marc Albrighton sent Vardy away on goal and last season’s leading scorer calmly slotted past Mignolet to give Leicester the lead after 28 minutes.

“How many of these Leicester players in the last few months have been able to go home after a match, look in the mirror and say ‘I did everything I could have done during that game?'” I couldn’t put my finger on why we haven’t been doing that regularly.

“We have to work, obviously and try with everything we have to do better next time”.

Victory eased Leicester’s immediate relegation worries, moving the struggling champions out of the bottom three to 15th, although they remain just two points clear of the drop zone. I think he will realise. Does it faze me? No. “With the money Leicester have made over the past 18 months and parachute payments, it would be hard to see them going the way of Leeds or Blackburn”. Despite the fact that Musa has not lived up to expectation since he joined the Foxes in the summer, it is not enough reason to blame the forward for the woes of the club, as Musa can not play the roles of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth or replace Ngolo Kante.

“It has been a odd few days”.

“It was a time of wonderfulness and happiness I will never forget. He said that to me on Thursday night and reminded me of it on Friday morning”.

Philippe Coutinho pulled one back for the visitors, who lacked urgency and a cutting edge for large spells, as they served up a display that suggested their 16-day break had done little to breathe life into their top four bid.

The win also saw Leicester City move up to 15th in the EPL log with 24 points from 26 games.

“We all play, myself involved, for our futures”, he said.

“We’re going to have to improve because we haven’t been able to hit the standards that are required this season”, Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel told LCFC TV.

Back came Leicester with another chance on 14 minutes, but Huth slammed a free header over the bar in the middle of the Liverpool area. I feel maximum responsible because I am. I hope I use the word “we” and not “they” because I’m involved in this.

” It doesn’t get better”. The job of his players, the German underlined at Melwood last week, was “not to let Leicester’s confidence grow”. Back to their roots, their line-up was clear.

Leicester City vs Liverpool is set to begin at 8pm GMT, 3pm ET, 1.30am (Tuesday) IST.
