"How does he still have his job?!" - Van Nistelrooy criticized following the loss

 

  HOW IS HE STILL EMPLOYED?!" - FANS CRITICIZE RUUD VAN NISTELROOY AFTER LEICESTER'S EMBARRASSING HOME LOSS TO BRENTFORD, WITH THE MANCHESTER UNITED LEGEND'S TROUBLED TENURE BEING CALLED AN "ABSOLUTE DISASTER

Leicester City fans are asking one burning question after their team's humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Brentford: How is Ruud van Nistelrooy still in a job? The Manchester United legend, once revered for his predatory instincts in front of goal, is now facing a torrent of criticism as his managerial reign at the King Power Stadium descends into what many are calling an "absolute disaster."

The Foxes' latest capitulation against Brentford was the final straw for many supporters, who have grown increasingly frustrated with Van Nistelrooy's inability to turn the club's fortunes around. Leicester, a team that not so long ago were Premier League champions and FA Cup winners, now look a shadow of their former selves, languishing in the lower half of the table and playing with a lack of identity, cohesion, and fight.

A Miserable Start to the Season

Van Nistelrooy's appointment in the summer was met with cautious optimism. The Dutchman had enjoyed a relatively successful stint at PSV Eindhoven, where he won the KNVB Cup and earned plaudits for his attacking style of play. However, his tenure at Leicester has been anything but inspiring. The team has won just three of their opening 12 league games, and Saturday's defeat to Brentford was arguably the lowest point of his reign so far.

Brentford, who arrived at the King Power Stadium without a win in their previous five matches, dominated from start to finish. Leicester's defense was torn apart, their midfield overrun, and their attack toothless. By the final whistle, the home fans had turned on their manager, with chants of "You don't know what you're doing!" echoing around the stadium.

Fans Fume: "Absolute Disaster"

Social media was awash with criticism after the match, with Leicester supporters venting their anger at Van Nistelrooy's tactics, team selection, and apparent inability to motivate his players. One fan tweeted, "Van Nistelrooy out. This is an absolute disaster. How is he still in a job?!" Another wrote, "We’ve gone from Brendan Rodgers to this. What a fall from grace. Van Nistelrooy is completely out of his depth."

The frustration is understandable. Leicester's squad, while not as star-studded as it was during their title-winning campaign, still boasts quality players like James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, and Youri Tielemans. Yet, under Van Nistelrooy, they look disjointed and devoid of confidence. The Dutchman's insistence on playing a high defensive line has repeatedly been exposed, while his attacking philosophy has failed to translate into goals.

Questions Over His Future

With Leicester now just four points above the relegation zone, pressure is mounting on the club's hierarchy to act. Van Nistelrooy's position is becoming increasingly untenable, and many believe it's only a matter of time before he is shown the door. However, some fans fear that the damage may already be done, with the team in serious danger of being dragged into a relegation battle.

The question now is: how long will the Leicester board stick with Van Nistelrooy? The club's owners have shown patience in the past, most notably with Claudio Ranieri, who was given time to turn things around before eventually being sacked in 2017. But with the team's form showing no signs of improvement, their patience may soon run out.

A Legendary Player, But a Struggling Manager

There's no denying Van Nistelrooy's pedigree as a player. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker scored goals for fun during his playing days and is rightly regarded as one of the greatest forwards of his generation. However, his managerial career has yet to reach the same heights. While his time at PSV showed promise, his struggles at Leicester suggest he may not be cut out for the rigors of Premier League management.

For now, Van Nistelrooy remains in the dugout, but the clock is ticking. Leicester's next few fixtures could prove decisive, with matches against fellow strugglers Everton and Southampton looming large. If results don't improve soon, the Foxes may have no choice but to part ways with their under-fire manager.

Conclusion

Ruud van Nistelrooy's reign at Leicester City has been nothing short of a nightmare. Once hailed as a potential savior, the Dutchman is now fighting to save his job after a string of poor results and a humiliating defeat to Brentford. For Leicester fans, the question is no longer whether he can turn things around, but how much longer they will have to endure this "absolute disaster" before the club pulls the plug.

As the pressure mounts, one thing is clear: Van Nistelrooy's legacy as a player will count for little if he can't find a way to stop the rot at Leicester. The Foxes deserve better, and unless things change quickly, the man once known as "Ruud van Goal" may soon be out of a job.
