Brendan Rodgers has admitted “sometimes you have to be harsh to be clear” as the Leicester boss looks to reignite his team’s season against Champions League-chasing West Ham.
Leicester finished fifth in the last two seasons but they are languishing in 13th spot on 26 points after 21 matches this campaign ahead of facing the Hammers, live on Super Sunday.
The East Midlands club’s hopes of retaining the FA Cup came to a brutal end last weekend after they lost 4-1 at second-tier Nottingham Forest in the fourth round.
Rodgers apologised to supporters following the “embarrassing” loss at the City Ground and the mood did not improve in midweek as they were beaten again, this time in the Premier League at Liverpool.
