Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Radio Leicester after home defeat against Crystal Palace: "The levels dropped in the second half. I did not see that coming. The momentum changed. Our levels dropped too much.

"Palace were better and more aggressive. We were not as aggressive as we were in the first half. After the first goal, we had to re-adjust and recover. We got back on our feet, but you have to take them chances.

"It's a huge opportunity missed. We were all so focused on today. It's a massive disappointment.

"These are the moments you have to take advantage of. Every game you do not do that, it makes it more difficult.

"To get the best out of this team, we have to play in a certain way. You cannot say let's play 4-5-1 and try and not to lose. We have a squad that is creative, and needs to play. But we have to try and prevent all the goals we concede."
