Leicester 0-3 Newcastle: Ruud van Nistelrooy's side create unwanted club history

It has been 720 minutes since Leicester last scored at home in the Premier League.

With Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle, the Foxes became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's relegation-bound side have not found the back of the net at the King Power Stadium since 8 December - a 2-2 draw with Brighton.

"Nothing surprises me with this group and this manager and this football club at the minute," ex-Foxes winger Matt Piper told BBC Radio Leicester.

"The anger for me is done, they are sucking the life out of me. This is as bad as it's ever been and we are a club that has dropped down to League One football."

Leicester have registered 82 shots on goal this term but have only accumulated an expected goals (xG) tally of 6.58.

Against Newcastle, Leicester's possession was at a healthy 58% but that creative spark was missing once again with an xG of only 0.47.

This from a side that have seen the tremendous highs of lifting the Premier League title, travelled Europe in the Champions League and hoisted the FA Cup high at Wembley Stadium.

"This season they are not good enough, there is no fight, there is no determination, there is no want to wear the shirt, there is no confidence," he said.

"Then there is a manager that goes missing in the dugout. There are major things wrong at this football club and it's been like this for some time. It's just not good enough. There are so many things wrong and I really fear for this football club in the coming years."
