Ranieri can't believe it

Claudio Ranieri acknowledged Leicester City cannot continue haemorrhaging defeats after Sunday's 2-0 loss at Swansea City left the Premier League champions one point above the relegation zone.

Swansea defenders Alfie Mawson and Martin Olsson struck in the first half at the Liberty Stadium to condemn Leicester to a fifth successive defeat and 14th of the campaign in total.

Leicester manager Ranieri has seen his side go six league games without scoring and he knows something must change if their historic title success is not to be succeeded by a historic demotion.

"I wanted the start of a 'new season' today, but it is the same. It is unbelievable," said the Italian.

"We started well, but their first two shots on goal are goals. It is very difficult to come back from that. It is unbelievable, this season.“
