We were the third club that they worked alongside each other and we a supposed to believe that that is purely coincidence. He had a say in Congertons appointment here and it will take a whole lot to change my mind on that. He’s talking about the new bloke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underperformances. Fifth. And a European semi. Sure we underperformed in Europe to a degree but he is the first manager to get us there since Claudio. And yes the Top Four was a massive failure in one regard, but the fact we were competing shouldnt be dismissed. That first season where it really clicked, we played some sexy football. I still want him out, though haha Edited 22 August 2022 by Tanya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Master Fox Posted 22 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2022 Everyone saying these “5th place finishes are a good thing” have forgotten the epic collapse and failure not qualifying for the Champions League after being in the Top 4 all season. Everything would be completely different now had we not bottled it, and it was Rodgers capitulation that caused it, twice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's half 11 on a Monday morning and I'm being forced to agree with Grahame fvcking Souness. It's going to be a long week. At least one of the complete ****wits can see through the Rodgers PR machine. The rest of them are as thick as shit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 Obviously BR has to take significant responsibility for the current omnishambles, and will most probably (rightly) lose his job. However, the ‘it’s all BR fault’ is a convenient narrative that allows other senior management off the hook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the club did shell out on a lucrative contract making him fourth highest paid in the division. We also full reinvested the Maguire and Chillwell money AND gave him a season of no sales. The money this club has given him and the backing means when we are 14 points clear with 8 games to go, you better ****ing deliver. If you cock up one season, you better learn from that. AND at the very least, you should be sending out a team that can defend. Brendan Rodgers talks a very good game but is failing to deliver when the going gets tough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger63 Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 (edited) Very disappointed. Went bed with real hope of a Rodgers sacking or walk out today, after spending the evening on here. Got up, went work in great anticipation of a media back lash for Rodgers departure, and how we had let him down and we should know our place. Told the guys at work Rodgers was likely going to be toast today, much to everyone's delight. Now we reach dinnertime and not even a sniff of him leaving. Cue much barracking for me for getting everyone's hopes up, and a real slump in my mood because Rodgers still remains.

filbertway Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 The point we finished with would have had us finish 7th most seasons as well. We failed to capitalise once our destiny was in our hands. Something Rodgers teams do time and time again. He strikes fear into his players when the pressure is on. It was a miracle we didn't blow the FA Cup final as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxile5 Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 I'm halfway to just accepting our fate. It's been a good ride and I'll still love going down the city but it looks like the captain is determined to sink the ship and the crew mates are readying the lifeboats.

At Liverpool it was the transfer committee. At Celtic it was the financial restraints. At Leicester it is the size of the club. Brendan fails to deliver but a few things usually follow him around. Injuries. Collapses. Defensive frailties. Piss poor recruitment. The point I am trying to make is it never is plain sailing but when we pay a manager what we are paying him, I expect some sort of standards - something we are seriously lacking.

It was a miracle we didn't blow the FA Cup final as well Do you honestly belive that?? Or is it more akin to some of the players we have not being able to handle pressure at the very highest level. The reason we didn't finish 4th was due to this, the players couldn't handle it and came up short. There is a reason they play for us and are not all starting for any of the top 4. Think about it.

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 22 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2022 Still believe the biggest error of the judgement was not strengthening in the 19/20 January window. One good signing gets us over the line for CL. We then don't learn from our mistake and do the same in the 20/21 January window. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenParvaFox Posted 22 August 2022 Share Posted 22 August 2022 The football is too slow. We don't do enough with the ball. We don't create anywhere enough high percentage chances. We buckle under pressure, very easily. We don't defend set pieces well enough. If Rodgers can fix the above then he's the man. But, he won't.
