Brendan Rodgers described his Leicester side as “a jigsaw with pieces missing” but vowed to fight on as manager after a 5-2 defeat at Brighton kept them bottom of the Premier League.
Brighton deepened the crisis at Leicester with an emphatic victory at the Amex Stadium on Super Sunday to increase the pressure on Rodgers after a summer of discontent at the club.
Leicester have one point from their opening six games having lost five in a row and despite taking the lead inside a minute on the south coast, they were completely outplayed by their opponents.
Asked if he has had assurances from the Leicester board about his future, Rodgers said: “I’ve never asked for it. Or wanted it. I’ll continue to do my work, come in and study and do as much as I can.
“I’ve never turned work down, coming in early and late at night. And until someone tells me differently I’ll continue to do that. I’m not going to shirk the challenge.
