"I totally understand the frustration of supporters" - Brendan Rodgers

After Saturday's 6-2 loss to

in the

Premier League

,

manager

Brendan Rodgers

knows his job is in jeopardy. As a result of this crushing defeat, Leicester becomes the first team to start a league season winless for the first time since 1983-84.

After seven games, they have given up 22 goals, the most by any team in the Premier League and the most in the English top flight since 1965–1966. (West Ham, also 22). It's no secret that Rodgers' job is in jeopardy, and he's made it clear that he has no problem with the club's owners taking action if they want to do so.

"I come in every day and do my work. I totally understand the frustration of supporters. I can't hide from that. It's my responsibility," he said to Sky Sports. "Whatever happens I'll have a huge amount of respect for [the owners] because they've given me great support. I understand the game. The scoreline didn't reflect the game but the bottom line is it's a heavy defeat. They've given me brilliant support. Whatever happens to me at Leicester, whether I stay and fight on, I'll always respect them."

, who scored a goal to tie the game at 2-2, refused to let manager Brendan Rodgers shoulder all the burden. 

"It is tough to debrief it in my head so quickly after,"

he said.

"People will check the scoreline and see 6-2 and think 'wow, Leicester got battered again' but I don't think that was the case."

"We've worked so hard on the training ground this week because we know we need to produce better results and in the first-half it felt like the Leicester we know and the Brendan Rodgers side we've produced in the last few years, with the high press and creating chances. It is tough to take.

"We conceded from a couple of set-pieces which is always disappointing, especially if I told you how many hours we've spent on that because it was a weakness last year. We've brought in a set-piece coach and everyone has really bought into that. The players should definitely be taking some of the brunt. It is a collective, it's not the manager, we are an XI out there. It hurts when you really respect the manager, and ultimately we are the players out there and we haven't been delivering recently."
