Van Nistelrooy struggles to win over Leicester fans amid improvements | OneFootball

You'd have to say that Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is suffering at King Power Stadium along with the Blue Army fan base. Obviously he's not going to be as troubled or invested as those of us who have been Foxes for years. But the negative results and third-rate performances seem to have gotten to the Dutchman as well.

The LCFC boss does actually care, in my opinion. He's just not capable of changing the scenario for two reasons: Premier League managerial inexperience and a woefully inferior squad of players. Basically the situation is serious and compromised at this stage. If you listen to Gary Lineker, then this season is already a write off apparently. He's probably correct.

Yet I was pleasantly surprised and almost impressed with City at the weekend. I never thought I'd utter those words in defeat while analysing football. That's because the east Midlands team managed show some good play and partial solidity versus Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. And the Foxes did so with only one week of preparation using a new formation and matchday approach.

With a new system and a better collective effort from his men, can van Nistelrooy finally create momentum? What did LCFC supporters say of the changes and the gaffer? And can the twice Manchester United man potentially win over some of the Leicester faithful?

Is Ruud van Nistelrooy winning over Leicester City fans?

Obviously you get so-called fans who just abuse and insult LCFC's head coach, and others on social media etcetera. Though they aren't really worth listening to. Some spectators were actually excited when RvN joined too.

There are those amongst Leicester's support who, politely, never wanted the 48-year-old. As well as people who were intrigued by the prospect of having him on Filbert Way, but considered him slightly under qualified. I was in the latter category. But what's the current feeling?
