Since their convincing victory over Tottenham in January, Leicester City has been going through a nightmare. The team, managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, hasn’t scored a single goal in the Premier League since then—a worrying drought for a club once feared for its quick and incisive attacking play. Even worse, this goal drought comes alongside a losing streak that’s dragging the club deeper into the relegation zone.
The King Power Stadium, once a fortress, has turned into a cursed ground for the Foxes. Leicester has officially become the first team in English football history to lose eight consecutive home Premier League matches without scoring a goal. It’s a shocking statistic that highlights the team’s struggles both tactically and mentally.
The results speak for themselves: 3-0 against Wolves, 2-0 losses to Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Arsenal, a 4-0 thrashing by Brentford, followed by 3-0 defeats to Manchester United and Newcastle. Fans are growing increasingly frustrated, and pressure is mounting on Van Nistelrooy, whose decisions are facing heavy criticism. The rest of the season looks tense, and a turnaround is urgently needed if there’s any hope of salvaging it.
