The latest Leicester City news as the City boss is under increasing pressure after a 6-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.

I understand the game and understand football. I understand the frustration of supporters. I really feel for the players. The City boss also spoke about the pressure on his job, but understands that it is part of the industry he is in. It has led to calls from growing sections of the fans for a change in manager to happen during the international break. "For me, they’ve gave me brilliant support. "I don't think the score was (a fair reflection). "Whatever happens, I’ll have a huge amount of respect for them because they’ve given me huge support since I’ve been here. “The game becomes opens at 4-2. A quick fire second half hat-trick from Son Heung-Min saw Spurs come out as 6-2 winners in what was a closely fought contest for the majority of the match. I don't feel they deserved that. "We got punished for mistakes.

LEICESTER manager Brendan Rodgers is under intense pressure after the Foxes were beaten 6-2 by Tottenham.

I understand the game. "Son comes on, produces a couple of moments of magic, the game gets stretched and it ends up 6-2 which looks like a ridiculous scoreline. A couple of individual mistakes of our own which ended up making it too much for us to do." It's painful and it hurts when you see a manager who you have a lot of respect for and who you've built a brilliant relationship with, get so much heat and so much negativity. But I don't think that was the case. The winless Foxes were beaten 6-2 by [Tottenham](/latest/tottenham-hotspur-fc) on Saturday night after [Son Heung-min](/latest/son-heungmin) scored a second-half hat-trick.

You’ve seen a team that is doing everything to get back in the game and leaving themselves a little bit open. I’ve every confidence that the team can push on and if they play like they did for large parts of this, we’ll climb higher in table’ It’s something I definitely do want to continue.’ And there’s lot of this game that was very good for us. ‘There’s no doubt in the first seven games, we’ve had a tough start. Especially after the summer that we have had.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers cut a sombre figure in his post-match interview after his side were thrashed 6-2 by Tottenham in the Premier League ...

We worked so hard this week on the training pitch for this game because we know we have to produce performances and results because we haven’t been of late. “I understand the game, I understand football. Like Rodgers, Maddison felt the scoreline was not a fair representation of how the match went, with Hugo Lloris making some vital stops for Spurs. “We’re the 11 out there. I come in every day and do my work and I can see the players playing with the confidence, however, you’ve got to win games, so I totally understand that. “It’s a collective, it’s not the manager,” he said. Rodgers was then asked whether he retained the support of Leicester’s owners, who hired him back in February 2019. [Brendan Rodgers](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/brendan-rodgers) has conceded that he could lose his job as [Leicester City](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/leicester-city-fc) manager following their thrashing by [Tottenham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) on Saturday afternoon, while James Maddison has urged his team-mates to take responsibility for the loss. Rodgers had a sombre tone in his post-match interview with Sky Sports as he assessed the situation. I understand the frustrations of supporters and whatever.

[Rodgers gave a subdued interview](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/brendan-rodgers-leicester-sack-fears-28018047) after the match, in which he conceded he understood the pressure on him, and Redknapp thought that he sounded like a defeated man. I’ve every confidence that the team can push on and if they play like they did for large parts of this, we’ll climb higher in table” Asked whether he wished to continue, Rodgers said: “100 per cent.” “The owners will do what it is that they feel they need to do. “I feel in the team you watched them play in the first half, you can see the confidence in the team, the creativity in the team, the pressing in the team, it’s just cutting out the mistakes. “There’s no doubt in the first seven games, we’ve had a tough start.

Especially after the summer that we have had. It [the international break] has probably come at a good time to reset everything and break the cycle of the summer as well. The Foxes are rooted to the bottom of the table and have conceded 22 goals this season, which is the most by any side in Premier League history after seven matches. Leicester have taken just one point from seven matches so far – their worst start to a season since the 1983/84 campaign. In his post-match press conference, Rodgers admitted he could be sacked before the next game, against Nottingham Forest on October 3. But Rodrigo Bentancur’s measured finish and Son Heung-min’s 14-minute hat-trick off the substitutes’ bench ruined Leicester’s day in north London.

LEICESTER currently sit bottom of the Premier League putting Brendan Rodgers' position at risk.

The German seems keen to make a swift return to the dugout following his Chelsea sacking so could see benefits in a move to the Midlands. Pochettino would be received very well at the King Power stadium and would instantly help the troubled defence without sacrificing too much in attack. He is also said to be admired by the club’s hierarchy and would join fellow Dane and new set piece coach Lars Knudsen in the dressing room. He would also help improve the poor defence, with the Bees posting a solid defensive record. The former Celtic boss appears to have resigned himself to his fate, confirming he will accept any decision made following his side's 6-2 defeat to Tottenham with the team languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table. This is something that could appeal to Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha given the Foxes’ well-documented financial restraints this season.

The latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as the Foxes were left reeling by a 6-2 defeat to Tottenham.

It means that City have conceded a total of 11 goals in their last two games, following a 5-2 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion in their previous outing. The Foxes fell to their sixth defeat this season, after opening the score through Youri Tielemans, before Harry Kane provided a prompt response. And he still backs his own ability to draw those improvements out of his side despite the desperate circumstances they appear to be in. Eric Dier got a second before James Maddison put matters level, only for Rodrigo Bentancur to score the third after the interval. It has led to calls from growing sections of the fans for a change in manager to happen during the international break. He said he will respect whatever decision the owners make, and is aware that the imminent international break gives them more time to make any call over his future. A second half Son Heung-min hat trick saw Antonio Conte’s men come out as 6-2 winners.

LEICESTER CITY are without a win in their first seven Premier League games this season.

Rodgers was left frustrated during the summer with Leicester doing little to bolster their squad in the transfer market. "The owners will do what it is that they feel they need to do. A solid start to the new campaign, during which they have only been beaten once, has left the Bees in the top half. It means the Foxes have now conceded 11 goals in their last two Premier League games, having been hammered by Brighton earlier this month. Spurs found another gear after the break, however, with Rodrigo Bentancur's finish preceding a superb Heung-min Son hat-trick to leave Leicester scratching their heads at a damning 6-2 scoreline.

Respected football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed many observers' suspicions concerning Leicester City's Brendan Rodgers.

These instances also revealed to FoL a previously unseen, unfavourable and unpleasant angle of the head coach. Nor did he attempt to hire appropriate staff to deal with the apparent problems; then he exhibited a reluctance to alter his failed zonal methods with a lack of accountability. And it is true that the former Swansea City and Liverpool boss appears out of his depth when his men are not performing, are in a minor crisis, or a relegation battle.

The Foxes are rooted to the bottom after Saturday's 6-2 defeat at Tottenham, meaning the 2-2 draw with Brentford on the opening weekend secured their only ...

'It's a tough one to find the solution. After regularly challenging the Big Six during Rodgers' tenure, Leicester are in a relegation battle. The club signed only one outfield player, Belgian defender Wout Faes for £15million, in the summer, after selling Wesley Fofana to Chelsea for about £75m. But Chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha must now decide whether to hit the reset button. After years of lofty achievement, Leicester find themselves in a flux... Brendan Rodgers is under an intense amount of 'heat' and both his and the club's future are increasingly uncertain

Brendan Rodgers is under intense pressure after seeing his Leicester City side thrashed 6-2 at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night.

This will be the key consideration. Will they be sympathetic to the difficult fixture list, with four of the seven games so far against the so-called big six? Will they see the international break like Rodgers, as an opportunity to reset, work with the newly-installed set-piece coach, and bring about big improvements ahead of a kinder run of games? [His post-match interviews sounded like come-and-sack-me pleas](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/brendan-rodgers-not-daft-over-7598833), and he will be concerned at the damage to his reputation of this run. James Maddison seemed very sincere when he expressed his respect for the manager after the game and said the players need to take a good chunk of the blame too. When the players give up, it tends to be curtains for any manager. These sorts of mistakes happen, and then end up in goals, because the team is not in a good way collectively. There are plenty of reasons on the pitch why the loss at Spurs could be fatal for Rodgers. Should a tackle on James Justin on the halfway line lead to a goal? For the second game in succession, City took the lead early and quickly threw it away, finding themselves behind before even reaching the midpoint of the first half. More than anything that happened on the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, there is the timing. The desperation of the current situation will increase hugely if they don’t beat at least a few of Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Leeds, and Wolves.
