Why star Leicester players were arguing in the middle of a game

It went from bad to terrible for Leicester City on Friday night at King Power Stadium. The Foxes were supposed to be competing against Brentford. But the east Midlanders can't give any team a decent match at the moment. I don't mean to be constantly negative about the club I support - although we have to be honest here. And I can't think of many positives on Filbert Way at all at present.
Maybe the supposedly outstanding talent coming through the youth ranks and being promoted to senior training is the only current plus point. Starlets such as Jake Evans and Jeremy Monga are chief among rising Foxes footballers. However, they can't help the XI when they aren't in it. And who knows if 15 and 16-year-olds could actually improve the lineup.
At least we have reportedly quality athletes emerging to look forward to. Because, right now, the first-choice personnel is severely lacking. Even manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is getting decisions and tactics wrong, difficult as his job is at Leicester. Yet the Blue Army wouldn't have expected the situation to deteriorate as far as it has. Some Foxes were going so far as to publicly quarrel and argue on the pitch during the loss to the Bees. The optics look bad for everyone involved in Leicestershire. But why were a couple of van Nistelrooy's star men arguing in the middle of a crucial game?
Aside from the way City were defeated, another unacceptable scenario unfolded versus Thomas Frank's outfit in the Premier League. Two Leicester players, Hermansen and Soumare, rowed loudly and fairly aggressively as the clash was restarting.
"Hermansen, who has now conceded 12 goals in four games, vented his frustration at Soumare as Brentford celebrated.Soumare reacted to the furious rant and was forced to be pushed back from Facundo Buonanotte and Stephy Mavididi. However, van Nistelrooy suggested the disagreement showed the players cared. “It’s no problem, it’s good that players are holding each other accountable because they care," he said. "In the dressing room, it was fine and they move on.""Leicestershire Live, then RvN
