The former Dutch striker said to Sky Sports: “You have to acknowledge that it is a huge step back. There was hope after recent performances and the start of the game was hopeful with three chances. It could have changed the game. After the clear start of us we were never in the game again and during the break the game was ready. “
Record -breaking foxes
Leicester Tonight set an undesirable record and became the first English top side of history in history that lose six consecutive home games without scoring.
“We all have to lift ourselves first and then lift each other,” Van Nistelrooy added. “That is always the case. Everyone is really disappointed and stripped with the loss and disappointed about the levels we shown today. We have to acknowledge it, the level between Brentford and us was important and a concern for future hope for us. “
Foxes skipper Jamie Vardy fought hard to drive his way, but repeated defensive expired expired meant that his efforts were lost.
The former international English international said: “We have to keep working hard. We have done a number of decent versions and have to do this consistently. We have to go on training again, look back and see where things went wrong.
“There is enormous determination. There are three of the bottom four who all fight for it. As long as we are with a scream, we fight down and focus on deploying decent versions. “
Superb Brentford wins away again
Leicester’s misery contrasted in starkly with the enjoyment of Brentford after they had achieved their fourth consecutive win in the Premier League for the first time.
The men of Thomas Frank moved to the 10th after an excellent display.
He said: “I think we have been fairly consistent with versions. That ability to win – this is the first two in a row we have done this season, which is strange. We are on an upward curve, so hopefully we can continue that.
“It is not easy to win in the Premier League and not easy to win away. It is absolutely not easy to win away 4-0. I have good players, good staff and good leadership.
“I think they are all brilliant individual players, but what a unit they make by playing together. One plus one plus one, which is normally equal to 11 for a whole team, but it is 14 or 15 for this team. We have now won two in a row, but let’s see if we can get three in a row. “
