Van Nistelrooy honeymoon already over

Ruud van Nistelrooy first game as Leicester boss was equally encouraging, beating West Ham 3-1 on 3 December.

But just three games later, the positive effect of that new manager bounce already looks to have evaporated.

The Foxes were beaten 4-0 at Newcastle last time out. Made a lacklustre start back at their own King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Jannik Vestergaard was at fault for the first goal, letting Semedo’s through-ball bounce past him, while fellow defender Justin misjudged Doherty’s ball for the second.

Keeper Ward, in for the injured Mads Hermansen, could have done better for the second goal while, for the third, there was a general lack of urgency throughout the Leicester defence.

Vestergaard made way at half-time, with Justin following soon after, yet the Foxes still posed Wolves few problems.

Jamie Vardy had a couple of tame efforts on โปรโมชั่น ufabet target. But the closest Leicester went to scoring was. When Vardy’s first-half shot was cleared off the line by Toti Gomes moments. Before Wolves made it 3-0.

Van Nistelrooy’s attacking mindset was a big reason. Why he was brought in to succeed Steve Cooper, but it’s his defence. That needs some drastic attention if his side are going to avoid slipping into the bottom three over the festive period.

“It is clear what went wrong, and everyone saw that in the first half,” Van Nistelrooy

“Individual mistakes and situations that you don’t handle well can cost you. Wolves were very effective at putting those moments away.

“We have to acknowledge that we didn’t look good, and I will be the first to do that – it is a hard one to take.”
