Brendan Rodgers slammed Leicester City after a 4-1 loss to Bournemouth, labelling his side’s performance as “not acceptable”.<\/p>\n
Chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League, Leicester led through Jamie Vardy before falling apart on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Junior Stanislas scored a penalty, Dominic Solanke a brace and Jonny Evans an own goal as Caglar Soyuncu was sent off, and Leicester will fall to fifth in the table if Manchester United beat Southampton on Monday.<\/p>\n
Rodgers was furious with his side, who have won just one of seven games in all competitions since the season resumed last month.<\/p>\n
“It’s not a happy changing room and it shouldn’t be, because that is not acceptable, to deliver that level, especially when you work so well,” the Leicester City manager told LCFC TV.<\/p>\n
“Like I say, it was the attitude. We didn’t show the right spirit and that’s something that we’ve showed consistently. But, yes, that was bitterly disappointing.<\/p>\n
“[The Sheffield United game on Thursday] will be a great challenge for us because we need to show a greater level of physicality and mentality. That’ll be a really good test.<\/p>\n
“We had a great result at Bramall Lane earlier in the season and now this is a game where we’ve really got to show our mettle and look to get working again.”<\/p>\n
After hosting Sheffield United, Leicester have games against Tottenham and Manchester United to finish the season.<\/p>\n
Rodgers apologised to the club’s fans for his side’s performance, lamenting the second-half showing.<\/p>\n
“Listen, first of all, I apologise to the supporters. I don’t think I’ve ever had to do that in my time here,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve always been a tough team, mentally and physically, and tried to then play football, but to collapse like we did in the second half was bitterly disappointing.”<\/p>\n
