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.

Especially after the summer that we have had.

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 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.

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.

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers accepts that his job at the King Power Stadium is under threat due to the team's struggles.

"It's not just that result - it's the results and the way they've been playing," he told Sky Sports News. He didn't really get backed in the transfer window and didn't get the players in that he'd have wanted. I come in every day and do my work, and we can see the players playing with confidence, but you've got to win games. "I'm not daft, I know football, and the last six games don't make great reading.

"It [the international break] has probably come at a good time to reset everything, break the cycle from the summer as well.

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.

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.
