Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers insists his team are aware they must do better in certain areas following Sunday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Foxes blew a 2-0 goal lead at Selhurst Park and now sit 13th on the table with eight points from seven games.

"I thought a point was what we deserved from the game," Rodgers told LCFC TV. "We didn't defend well enough, not strong enough, and that's the reality. We had a couple of chances and took them really, really well, but it was a point that we deserved.

"In both the first and second half, we didn't keep the ball well enough. It was certainly nowhere near the level that we would like to. We're normally a team that enjoys having the ball but there were too many loose passes and we gave the ball away too much.

"We need to perform better. I'm always very focused on that. We won't always perform to our level, but I think if you can consistently perform well, we've seen that results take care of themselves. In terms of results, we've made a slow start compared to what we've done over this last couple of seasons.

"This may be when the season builds for us. We know where we need to improve. We can hopefully get some players back and, from that, the confidence can flow again and then we can be more consistent in our results."
