Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has said that he is "not daft" and accepts that his job at the King Power Stadium is under threat due to the team's struggles this season.

The Foxes have only picked up one point from their opening seven matches of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, which has left them bottom of the table.

Saturday's 6-2 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur proved to be their sixth straight loss in the league, and Rodgers understands why his job with the 2015-16 English champions is currently being called into question.

"I don't know, to be honest. Whatever their [the owners'] decision is, I will always respect it," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

"I think we've seen enough. I felt the team tonight, if you watched them play in the first half, you could see the confidence and creativity. It's just cutting out mistakes.

"There is no doubt we've had a tough first seven games, especially after the summer we've had - Tottenham away, Arsenal away, Chelsea away, Manchester United at home and a couple of other games we should win.

"It [the international break] has probably come at a good time to reset everything, break the cycle from the summer as well. The owners will do what it is they feel they need to do.

"I'm not daft, I know football, and the last six games don't make great reading. But I have every confidence the team can push on and climb the table if they play like they did in large parts and cut out mistakes."

When asked whether the defeat at Tottenham had increased the pressure on him, Rodgers added: "Very much so. 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 understand the frustrations of supporters and I can't hide from that. It's my responsibility."

Former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp has admitted that he fears for Rodgers's future due to Leicester's struggles early in the campaign.

"It's not just that result - it's the results and the way they've been playing," he told Sky Sports News. "I think it's been tough for him. He didn't really get backed in the transfer window and didn't get the players in that he'd have wanted. Good players left as well, which doesn't help.

"There's always alarm bells ringing when you're in the run of form that you are, there's an international break coming up, there's good fixtures coming up if you want to bring in a new manager. They're the factors you have to look at.

"I really like Brendan Rodgers, I think he's a top manager, but when I listen to him speaking he sounds like he's resigned that maybe they will make changes."

Leicester, who have not played in the Championship since 2013-14, are now not back in action until the start of October, with Nottingham Forest set to make the trip to the King Power Stadium.
