EPL: Rodgers believes Leicester will bounce back despite recent loses
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers believes his side restored their pride against Liverpool in the Premier League.
The Foxes put up a spirited display at Anfield, only to lose 2-0 on Thursday.
Despite the setback in the result, Rodgers felt that Leicester gave a good account of themselves in the game.
Speaking to post-game, he said:”Tonight was not just about the result but about restoring pride. You saw the supporters clapping the players off. They give everything and had moments of quality. We kept a really tough team in it until the very end. We just lacked that bit of care in the final third of the pitch otherwise we could have made more chances.

“You have to be tight and organised and when you have the ball, have the courage to play and I thought the boys did that. I think our two centre-halves did great. Wilfred Ndidi got caught in the pack for the first goal and Virgil van Dijk had a free header. It’s been an ongoing problem for us. It’s definitely an area we have to improve on.
“You have to grind it through. The players are much happier with that performance and the spirit. It’s a challenge after a challenge. When you get that consistency with centre-backs it gives you balance and unfortunately that’s been difficult for us. We will keep pushing and take that spirit into the next weekend.”
