Shakespeare calls for Leicester passion play

Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare admits it's time for a passion play from their players ahead of the clash with Southampton.

City slumped to their fourth defeat in five games against West Brom at the weekend.

"We are aware of the situation," said Shakespeare to the Leicester Mercury. "There is no getting away from the facts.

"We haven't had the results we would have wanted and some of the performances have been indifferent, but we have to put that right.

"You have to roll your sleeves up and come out fighting.

"I think in football, as in life, you have to be positive and we, as staff, have to be very, very positive with the players.

"They are a good group to work with.

"We won't get too down, although we are disappointed. Likewise, we didn't get too high after the win over Manchester United."
