There's absolutely plenty there to be working with compared with that lot. Have they got any injuries by the way? No excuses, we've got a strong talented squad this season, depends on what you do with them. We're 6 games in You're not seriously looking at the table too much yet are you? Good starts are good sure, but teams often fall away as much as teams rise. Check where Everton, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham were in November last year and compare to where they finished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking the positions serious yet no, but what I'm saying is that with our squad compared with those and others, we can't start making excuses on the grounds of players available to us because we have plenty of strength in depth to choose from.

That in depth squad has Not yet been tested..it takes over ca. 10 games before a normal, Problem free squad can be judged, for a Club that over a year, has not had the possibility to Field in more than 2 occasional the same side,which means also, Rodgers/or any manager would find it impossible to Build a consistent Rythm or team- playing-character...

By in depth I mean that there's been better players than Perez and an out of form Maddison to choose from. They don't have to be played because our squad is thin and they have to be played. Their inclusion has been by managerial choice as opposed to a need like last year through injury for example. There has also always been strength on the bench as an available option when things haven't been going well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frany104 Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 This isn’t a reaction to just going a goal down. I honestly think we need a change of manager… the football we’re watching is just awful. It’s boring. Zero creativity. I want to see a squad of this quality really attacking the opposition. I’d love to see what Bielsa could do with this squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had,had only 3-4 games ,Rodgers must give Maddison Time to see if he could find his form...Perez or still in the mind of the manager, and played him slightly different "this" season...where he played quite well....Individual fans thoughts, doesn't Cover across the terrasses,so because a few koan After Another Successful season, puts more the Fans who spend more Time chasing every little seemingly contradictive selection/formation idea... That is poor form, & lacks forethought, that a Team manager has to have,where he must consider that old adhege.."the bigger picture", Too many fans willing Top Early to press the trigger, on every fking issue,every week....IMO its becoming Stale & boring, they have no longer any essence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 The manner in which we're going about games has surely got to be questioned sooner rather than later? How does Rodgers go about addressing the slide? At the moment it's the same game in game out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we really not got better on the bench? Tonight's initial team and tactics against a poor side is yet again turning into another shit show and again, in picking Perez, there's an obvious waste of a sub. Whilst I do take your point re Maddison, particularly following injury, then perhaps a slower introduction may have been more appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We‘ll score goals with this team, but we’ll concede too many as well Without Evans back any time soon, we’ll end up mid table Totally agree atm we look like spuds of the 90's. Stop us scoring and you win. Seems anyone can score against us. Classic Brian Clough comment about his playing days at Middlesbrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So currently, with questions about all of the 3 centre halves fielded, why compound the problem by playing all 3 at once, why not just 2 and add an extra competent midfielder? Or a more attacking 433? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToeKneeHandCock Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 When was the last time we attacked a team from the off and really tried to impose ourselves?

Larry_LCFC Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 We have been scraping by for a while now. 2 end of season collapse in a row. Always looking laboured and slow. Always looking to go sideways or backwards. If it was this season alone, you wouldn't look to much into it but there has been a recurring pattern.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
