Matt Piper wasn’t afraid to call out one Leicester City star’s performance in the aftermath of the defeat against Manchester United.
It was another dismal night that left Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side all-but-relegated with nine games of the Premier League campaign to go.

The Foxes broke two unwanted records by losing seven home games in a row without scoring and conceding 1000 top flight quicker than anyone else.
That sums up Leicester’s lack of ability from a defensive and offensive perspective but Piper called out one player in particular.
Matt Piper calls out Wout Faes
Wout Faes is one of the Leicester players to be heavily criticised this season.
His role in Rasmus Hojlund’s opening goal was so bad that Van Nistelrooy even singled out Faes and Piper was equally as critical, citing his defending as childlike stuff.
Ranting on the When You’re Smiling podcast, he said: “Wout Faes – an international defender – was defending like a six-year-old.
“The reason why I use that terminology is because when you’re teaching a six-year-old how to play football, and defend in particular, that is what a six-year-old would do without any coaching.
“Earlier this season, we were saying that Faes was making mistakes and walking around with his chest out and shoulders up, so we were thinking it was arrogance – but I don’t think that anymore.”
Piper claims Leicester manager is out of ideas
It wasn’t just Faes who was subjected to criticism.
Piper believes that confidence is on the floor across the board, which includes the Leicester manager.
“I’m not angry when I watch these performances anymore because I’m watching a group that has a huge lack of quality and are so devoid of confidence it is untrue,” said the former Foxes player.
“I would even say that about the manager – I don’t think he knows what to do. I was also looking over to where the board sit and people were sitting there with embarrassed looks on their faces.”
