‘Get out of my club’ – Leicester fans fume at Luke Thomas after what he did vs Stoke City
Leicester City fans are fuming with Luke Thomas after their 2-2 draw with Stoke City on Saturday.
Gary Rowett’s side looked to be heading towards a priceless win on his first match in the Foxes’ dugout when Harry Winks fired the visitors ahead with 14 minutes left to play.
However, Ben Wilmot would pop up with an equaliser for the Potters, one minute before stoppage time, to keep Leicester in the relegation zone.
The defending for Stoke’s second was undoubtedly poor, and the travelling fans were quick to blame Thomas after he lost his man in the build-up to the goal.

Leicester City fans have seen enough of Luke Thomas
Thomas has been receiving stick from Leicester’s fanbase for some time.
The 24-year-old left-back has struggled for consistent performances so far this season, and put in another poor display in their FA Cup defeat against Southampton last weekend.
However, his mistake on Saturday could prove even more costly, with Leicester in serious trouble, with the threat of back-to-back relegations looming.
As a result, fans were quick to take to X to lambast Thomas, with many calling for the full-back to leave the Foxes.

Luke Thomas cannot do anything right

2 points dropped there. We should’ve won that game. Had more than enough chances. If Luke Thomas could actually play football we would have won. Second half was better however we are so fragile defensively.

How bad was Thomas against Stoke?
According to Fotmob on 21 February, the incident that led to Stoke’s equaliser was simply one error in what was a good performance from the defender.
Coming on the bench, the website believes that Thomas was actually one of the Foxes’ best players on the pitch, and awarded him with a 7.7 rating.
During the game, the full-back managed to create an astonishing six chances, whilst he also hit the woodwork once, won all of his ground duels and completed 72 per cent of his passes.
However, many believe that the defender should have scored at the end when he hit the woodwork, with the chance being given a 0.57 xG.

| Minutes | 51 |
| Chances created | 6 |
| xG | 0.57 |
| Ground duels won | 100% |
| Passing completion | 72% |
| Times hit woodwork | 1 |
As a result, despite his seemingly good display, it is easy to see why Leicester fans may be furious, with the full-back fumbling two key moments late in the game.
Perhaps the only positive for Rowett’s side is that West Brom were once again defeated, meaning the gap to the Baggies, and to safety, is now closed to one point.
It remains to be seen if Leicester are able to catch the Black Country side over the coming weeks and pull themselves out of the bottom three.
