Speaking after the game, Bassett again questioned the attitude of the City players.

Talking to the official site Bassett said:

“It was a dismal defeat, you can’t deny that when you lose at home 3-0.

“The disappointing part for me was that after that we looked like a team that had lost its belief.

“That’s hard for me to accept.

“The team have been losing games for quite a long time now and I’ve got to look at it and see that the team has a soft centre.

“They haven’t got the willpower to fight their way out of trouble, they appear to have lost that.

“I will always believe that there is a chance to escape relegation but I can understand that others will not give us any hope after today.

“The problem is I might feel there is a chance but do the players?

“I just wonder whether the players have been thinking for a few weeks that they can’t do it.

“I’m naturally optimistic but I’m not stupid enough not to realise that we need to produce a miracle.

“We need to continue to do our best and at the same time ensure that if Leicester do go down they are in the best shape to get back as quickly as possible to the Premier League.

Sky's pundit, Rodney Marsh, today labelled Leicester as the "worst Premiership side in the world ever".
