Harry Suta: We must take responsibility and find a way to turn the current situation around as soon as possible.

Harry Sutta hopes Leicester City can approach Saturday's 0-4 home defeat to Oxford United with a positive attitude and respond quickly. In that League One clash, Oxford United displayed superior attacking efficiency at the King Power Stadium, with Mark Harris scoring twice, and Mo Misanga and Jamie McDonald also finding the net to help the visitors secure three points.  

Just on Wednesday, Leicester City secured their first league victory of the season with a 2-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Fairbert Road. However, only a few days later, the team failed to maintain that good form, and this lopsided home defeat only made the result more disappointing.  

After the match, Harry Suta said: "Obviously, I am very disappointed with this result. The score speaks for itself. If the players are not willing to put in the basic running and physical contact, do not actively compete for tackles and high balls, and do not actively get themselves into the game, then no matter what tactics and style of play we have prepared before the match, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect in the end."  

"With this kind of performance, we naturally can't expect to gain anything from the game, and the team certainly doesn't deserve more. We successfully broke free from their high press a few times, but unfortunately, in the final stages of the attack, we failed to create any truly threatening opportunities. After the start of the second half, the team's overall performance clearly declined, lacking the necessary energy. It was indeed a very disappointing afternoon."  

“We will re-examine this game and conduct a comprehensive review of the team’s performance. We all know that what we delivered today was far below expectations. I will not make any excuses for the team’s performance here, nor will I shift the blame to other factors. We were clearly outmatched by Oxford United in terms of both the pace of the game and the intensity of the competition. They deserved the victory, and based on our performance, we should not take anything away from this game.”  

Harry Suta expressed his gratitude to the fans who stayed to applaud the team even when they were in a difficult situation, but at the same time, he admitted again that he was still disappointed with the team's performance. He said, "I want to thank the fans who stayed after the game and supported us with applause. To be honest, our performance today was not enough to earn that support. As members of the team, we must take responsibility and find a way to turn things around as soon as possible."  

"Ultimately, we came here hoping to bring the fans a great game, showcase good football, and create scoring opportunities. But football is not just about attacking. If you can't even do the most basic defense and tackling, then the team has no chance of winning."  

"We had performed quite well in the previous two games, so no one expected this result. This loss is something the whole team must face and accept, and now everyone needs to take responsibility and step up to address the problem. The most important thing right now is not to dwell on this game, but to see how we respond to this setback with our performance."  

"Of course we can keep dwelling on this game and even be dissatisfied with the result, but what we need to do now is to adopt the right attitude and respond with our best performance. We will carefully review the game to find out where the team went wrong, and our task is to use the time ahead to make adjustments and try to resolve these shortcomings by the end of next week."
