Absolutely comical. Our objective is to get to 40 points. It’s totally different (from the past). “I’m preparing to get to 40 points, to get working and everyone going in the same direction. We’re not going to lay down and roll over, we have to find a way now." Why? Have you watched the other teams? The prem looks really strong this season and I think we have too many mediocre players low on confidence, it’s not just Rodger’s who’s saying we’re in danger is it? The key I think is a settled organised side, trouble is Rodger’s is not a relegation fighting type of manager is he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rhetoric that Rodger’s is coming out with is the sign of someone who has lost it, it’s comical, do you think the likes of Maddison, Vardy, Evans and co etc will be pleased? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at this point now. I'm actually fearful the longer he stays the more it threatens our Premier League status. We're down if he sees May. He won't but make sure the replacements job isn't too much to overcome. We're 3 behind 19th already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has killed that for some time. Absolutely. Was thinking about this the other day. Ranieri always encouraged us to dream and he was in sync with the club’s aspirational messaging - let’s see how far we can get. For the longest time BR has tried to downplay expectations - many might say understandably- we can’t compete with the big 4/6/8 and point to a lack of quality in the squad. Whilst undoubtedly we can’t compete financially with the Man City’s of this world is it any wonder the squad and fans are flat when BR has drained the life and energy out of us with the constant negativity. I will hold my hands up if he turns it around and say well done but I fully expect him to be gone by Forest.

Vardy is playing shite because of the way Rodger’s sets up the team. Evans granted is older but he’s still a decent defender if’s he partnered with Cags rather than Amartey we will be far better.. The manager is the biggest issue right now not the players, get him gone asap and watch us improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebum Posted 4 September 2022 Share Posted 4 September 2022 Let's face it, a win will cause a wind change of opinion towards Rodgers by certain supporters, even people inside the club. It's an awful thing to even suggest but said quietly, a loss to Brighton may be in our best interests, looking at the bigger picture. Or perhaps he won't go even after ten loses.

Brighton are a far better team than people give credit for they are rightly up there for the way they play. They will beat us comfortably we may grab a consolation goal but that will be that. If Brendan is not gone today, it will be sickening, he need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taupe Posted 4 September 2022 Share Posted 4 September 2022 It is an awful thing to say. We need points. The club needs to stay in the Prem. The club is bigger than the manager, etc. The club will have an awareness of the situation. They obviously want and hope that Rodgers can start delivering results. If he can do that then well and good, he gets to keep his job. It won't be personal either way. Rest assured, the club will have criteria, a time and a league position (and an awareness of cost implications) If Rodgers fails by those criteria, he will be sacked.

LiliansLeftPeg Posted 4 September 2022 Share Posted 4 September 2022 His comments over the last week or so speak to me if someone who's checked out. 40 point targets, silent leadership etc. A loss today and I genuinely hope he's gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s something the manager should have been saying similar too. You can admit you are not playing well but equally you can try to encourage and highlight the squads quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 4 September 2022 Share Posted 4 September 2022 The only way we turn this around is by completely changing our approach to the game. BR will remain stubborn with his tactics getting us 1-2 shots on target per game. In his head it’s not his tactics it’s other things like no signings and injuries that are the problem, his ego is off the charts. If he manages to turn it around and we adopt a different effective style for us then I’ll get behind him but I just don’t see it happening.

LCFCJohn Posted 4 September 2022 Share Posted 4 September 2022 I don’t think there is anything that will change my mind on him. He has well and truly shown his colours as a manager being capable of adapting and as a man, more importantly. It is all so predicable, possession for the sake of it, today will likely follow the pattern of going 2-0 down through abject defending. We probably then get a consolation and huff and puff around a bit and he will say he well we fought when the reality will be that Brighton know the game is won and ease off. Genuinely don’t think I can watch it. There’s some painting needs doing in for the nursery (baby on the way) so quite literally, watching paint dry seems more appealing right now!! More likely will end up watching a bit, getting pissed off and switching off… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back to the opinion that he should go but I'm not going to work myself up over it, as it's not my call. My gut feel is that he will go as I don't think he'll be able to turn this around and deliver on the club's criteria that define success. I'm sure most will accept that the club don't care whether we play Pepball, Koppball or Dyscheball - so long as we stay up. Fans aren't too much fussed either, as long as it brings results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a horrible position to be in. We must, must win though. A win doesn't mean he has turned anything around and he would still be gone soon. We just need some points.
