The Foxes are yet to register a goal in 2017 and are one point away from the drop zone. They yet again fell to a Manchester United side yesterday by 3 goals, piling more pressure on Claudio Ranieri, the Leciester City manager.
Speaking to the press after the match, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel insisted that it's quite embarrassing for the club to be on the verge of relegation.
"We're the reigning champions but quite frankly it's been terrible," Schmeichel told Sky Sports.
"Every player is hurting. It's not a situation that is comfortable. It's time for everyone to stand up and be counted because if we don't we're going to end up getting relegated."
By this time last year, Leicester won 3-1 at Manchester City to move five points clear at the top of the table and put them on course for an unexpected title.
Now they are 38 points behind leaders Chelsea with reports suggesting manager Claudio Ranieri has lost the support of his players.
Being asked whether the players are still behind Ranieri, Schmeichel would not comment. Instead the manager had something to say:
"We're together. I'm happy with the players and they're happy with me. We have to stay together and keep fighting."
