Maddison: Players understand Leicester fans' frustration

Leicester City ace James Maddison says the players are s frustrated as the fans with their season.

Leicester are 18th on the Premier League table and host Everton, who are one place below them, on Monday evening.

Maddison told LCFC TV: "We haven't given the crowd enough to cheer and shout about this season so we understand the frustrations, especially when we go behind. I always say it's so important and massive for us if the crowd can stick with us, even in the tougher times.

"When we're losing and when we're battling at the bottom, that's when we need them most – they did that against Wolves and it was absolutely brilliant. I watched it on my iPad and you could even feel the atmosphere.

"There was a little bit of anxiety when we went behind but once the team got going and started playing at a bit of a quicker tempo, they really bought into that and helped the team get over the line."
