Leicester players let Taylor down
last updated Thursday 20th September 2001, 7:42 PM
Leicester City boss Peter Taylor has called
on his players to take more responsibility, ahead of their clash with
Fulham.
Taylor was disappointed with both the lack of vocal support between his
senior players and overall organisation in Monday night's match against
Middlesbrough.
He has warned them they must put it right for their match against Jean
Tigana's outfit on Saturday or they will be punished.

Taylor said: "The experienced players
let me down with their lack of talking and organisation on Monday, which
is something I need them to do on the pitch.
"They understand the system we're trying to play and where people are
supposed to be playing. We were too quiet in the game against Middlesbrough,
particularly in the second half."To me we needed a bit of organising.
If something happens on the right-hand side of the pitch away from me there
is not much I can do about it, so it's the responsibility of the players
to take control of those sort of situations.
"We have to use our first half performance against Middlesbrough as
the standard to achieve this Saturday. In the first half we passed well
and caused them problems. "That was a positive and if we had got a
second goal I'm sure we would have got the points.
"The game against Fulham is a very important one for us and we need
a win. It's going to be a tough test - as all games in the Premiership are
- but we have got enough good players to get a result. The players have
been very determined but they have got to start getting those results.
"People have said that if we had won the match against Middlesbrough
we would have been in the top ten but that doesn't mean a thing. League
tables at this stage of the season mean absolutely nothing.
"If we look at it now, even after the disappointment of Monday, another
two or three points would make a massive difference to us so it's early
days. The most important thing is that we finish off with enough points."
