Gary Rowett slams Leicester City star following his RUBBISH performance in their defeat against Swansea, which could be his last game after this error 😡

Leicester City’s slide towards League One edged closer after another damaging defeat, extending a miserable run that now stands at just one win in 16 league matches.

With only four games remaining, the Foxes are staring at a relegation outcome that once seemed unthinkable, as consistency continues to elude Gary Rowett’s side in a season defined by collapse rather than recovery.

The latest setback came against Swansea, a match Leicester had spells of control in but ultimately failed to capitalise on, leaving them second-bottom and running out of time to escape danger. Portsmouth await next in what now looks like a decisive fixture in their survival hopes.

After the game, Rowett spoke to BBC Sport Leicester and did little to hide his frustration at another costly moment.

Reflecting on the goal, he said: “It’s a ridiculous decision to play a quick free-kick. For me, we have to be more basic,” as Zan Vipotnik once again punished defensive hesitation.

Leicester registered more attempts in the opening half but, as has so often been the case, failed to convert their superiority into goals.

Their defensive record remains a major concern, with Rowett adding: “We seem to have a habit of giving away elementary goals. To go a whole season and only make three clean sheets, it’s a sad indictment of how we have defended as a team.”

Injury problems have only worsened the situation, with Ben Nelson and Caleb Okoli both ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.

Rowett confirmed: “Ben hurt himself the day after the last game.” However, the return of Jannik Vestergaard and Harry Souttar offers limited relief.

Looking ahead to Portsmouth, Rowett demanded a response. “I want to see a more desperate team fighting for their lives,” he said, as pressure continues to mount on a squad struggling to match the urgency of their relegation rivals.

With morale low, results deteriorating and uncertainty growing off the pitch, Leicester’s situation feels increasingly terminal.

Rowett summed up the strain bluntly: “The ten games I have had here have felt like forty,” a remark that captures the weight of a season rapidly unravelling.
