Leicester City fans are turning rapidly against Brendan Rodgers.
Yesterday’s 2-1 defeat at Everton leaves Manchester United, Wolves and Chelsea within three points of the free-falling Foxes with the Champions League place that seemed nailed on in February now looking like a long shot.
In their remaining matches Leicester face Crystal Palace (h), Arsenal (a), Bournemouth (a), Sheffield United (h), Spurs (a) and Manchester United at home.
While the results are poor the attitude of the players and the dull, predictable tactics of Rodgers are taking a hammering from Leicester fans who were thrilled by the way their side performed in the first half of the season.
Living in his own little bubble Rodgers is largely detached from the reaction of fans while the media are kept socially distant from questioning the attitude and approach of the £9m/year manager who signed a new contract at the start of December.
At that stage the former Reading boss was regarded as the bright young thing in EPL coaching circles, this morning 2025, and the end of that contract, seems a lifetime away for Foxes fans.
A spirited second half, but Everton take the points.#EveLei

Players, manager and coaches take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and think of how you’ve bottled such an incredible season for not having the heart, what a shambles and disgrace!

Are you all smoking crack we have been awful for months losing the lead we had for a CL place is a disgrace playing the same football as we did under Puel my Celtic mates warned me now they are laughing.

They players simply don’t care. And quite quickly, neither will the fans.

Give it enough time and the fans will become sick and tired of Rogers obsession, with making as many passes as possible.

Evans passes to Ndidi, who gives it to Maddison, who gives it Chilwell, who gives it to a winger whose cross reaches no-one x100
Over and over again the same easy to predict thing in attack

Just imagine what could have been if the lads had showed up for all 90 rather than just the last 45
