'He strikes me as having a huge ego... his staff should tell him it doesn't need to be about him': Martin Keown tells Brendan Rodgers he risks a 'messy' dressing room if he blames players for Leicester's Newcastle embarrassment

Martin Keown believes Leicester's shambolic first half performance against Newcastle will hurt Brendan Rodgers and has warned that the under-pressure boss risks a 'messy' dressing room.

Goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton got Newcastle off to a flying start on their return from the World Cup break, with the Magpies threatening to run riot at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester, long associated with the fight for European football, have fallen short of the lofty expectations cast upon them this season, with the Foxes lingering in the lower half of the table.
