ILTE Indonesia -- Leicester City continue to decline in meeka status as Premier League champions this season. They now can no longer even dream of fighting at the top because it would be preoccupied with the struggle to avoid relegation.
0-3 defeat of host Southampton at St. Mary makes Leicester just 21 points from 22 weeks they have lived. This makes them equal the record of Ipswich in the 1962/1963 season as champions with the worst points.
In addition to the record worst points as the defending champion, Leicester also have to accept the bitter pill as a team that never wins in 13 Premier League away games this season. Brand was the only team with such a bad record.
Note never win in the away game itself has touched the figure of 18 matches in the Premier League, when added to the results at the end of last season. Note that is the worst record in the history of Leicester since 2005.
In the last 10 Premier League matches, Leicester was only able to record two wins and posted nine points out of a maximum 30 points to be had.
The records bad it made now Leicester is ranked 15th, the difference of five points from the relegation zone.
At the beginning of the season itself, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri never gave a high target on his team after a successful Premier League champion last season. Ranieri just wants his team can achieve safe rate, 40 points to escape the relegation noose.
A number of star players also successfully defended Ranieri as Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Danny Drinkwater. But it did not seem enough for Leicester to simply could enter the zone mid Premier League so far.
