Corky Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 52 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Right now I honestly don't think I'd care if he was poached by another club. It's a rash thing to say and I'll probably regret it but a huge shake up is needed here. A malaise has set in and his footballing purist principles are the last thing we need right now. You could easily see someone with a more aggressive and dynamic style of play getting hold of this lot and alleviating the pressure on the defence having the ball all the way and getting th shackles off the forwards and everyone wonder what the problem was. He needs to swallow his pride and get this team playing a simpler and harder style of play for a while, we are the easiest team out there bar Norwich at the minute to play against and its disgusting. I'll calm down tomorrow I'm sure but I'm concerned this is a period that may cost Rodgers if he's not decisive enough. Leaving 5 defenders on until the 77th minute when 1 down to a very compact and limited side is ridiculous and he deserves this shit tonight. We look like a nothing football team at present. Cannot defend and, criminally for the players we've got, ridiculously light going forward. It tends to lead to dull matches and limp defeats. Who was the last keeper to play a blinder against us? Let's go down swinging punches if we have to. Our last three away matches in Europe against Luhansk, Slavia and Legia have collectively been atrocious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc-1992 Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 He’s changed his ways before when playing against the better teams, instead of just trying to match the way they play he got us to sit back and play on the counter. He was praised for it then so let’s hope he does the same thing, although it looks unlikely as it’s been like this for months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best time of our lives the last 6 years and fans moan, imagine if you lot all excited under pleat, or having a team of beer Brian little that was shit but won games. Get a ****ing grip man and realise that half the league have more money, higher wages etc and at some point that will show in the table. But **** me the season hasn’t started yet, let’s look again after Xmas and then judge m. For me finishing 6th would be another great season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 We'll have a pretty poor season until the likes of Evans, Justin and eventually Fofana return to fitness, and when we realise that Iheanacho is up there as one of our best players and he starts most matches. Can see us finishing mid-table, and that will put us in a very interesting position. Will be difficult to understand where we go from there and what our ambitions should be. And as others have said, where that leaves Brendan I really don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Massive overreaction tonight imo. yes we’ve not been that great this season but people honestly calling for his head? we are more than capable of going on a run of form. Evans, Fofana and JJ are huge misses, anyone would miss three defenders of their quality. the last thing we need is the fans getting on the manager or the teams back. A couple of decent results and the landscape totally changes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Rogers has come out and said he's to blame for our poor starts and eventual results. This is big of him considering he's tried to paper over with some excuses over the last few weeks. I think he knows the pressure is on now. Time for Top to call him into the office and stop with the niceties. Sort it out now! This is bloody awful to watch and we're getting what we deserve. I'm not ready to pull the trigger on our manager but he has to prove to us he can turn this bad spell around. He has to be honest with the players and the players honest back because its his neck on the line at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s a good thing (he’s turned it round before) maybe it’s a bad thing (history repeating itself). Who knows. Either way it’s not a blip. ....not sure he has turned it around before....!!! The start of the new season was always the time when the slate was clean and we played attacking football and believed in ourselves. The subsequent drop offs have happened around Christmas time and continued until the end of the season. The fact that we had amassed so many points at the start papered over the cracks. We do not come out of slumps under Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't always get it right (who does?) and we're clearly in a slump right now. Do I think we'll turn it around? Yes Do I think he's still the right man for the job? Yes Do I think we could attract a better coach than BR? No Come back to me in January and if we're deep in the shit by then, I might change my mind.

kiwiturk Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 29 minutes ago, Matt_Lcfc said: This is such a boring narrative. Rodgers has been here since March 2018 and in that time, we have had two record breaking finishes (excluding 15/16) and won the FA Cup for the first time ever. Say what you want about individual brilliance in the final but would you undermine Mancini as a manager because his team won a competition on penalties in Euro 2020? Same applies to Tuchel, would you undermine him because Chelsea rode their luck at times against City in the UCL final too? You simply need big players to step up in finals, I notice how you’ve also conveniently missed our games against Man United and Southampton on the road to the final. We are all frustrated with the start to the season and I am sure that I share your qualms with the last few games. However, this is such a reactionary comment. And. Here we go again. Blah blah blah. BR's cheerleaders out and dancing again. Let see how the rest of the season will unfold. Shall we? Comparing the Manchini vs Brendan Rogers?? Really??? I was gonna say its like comparing the apples and oranges but this is way beyond that mate. His approval rate down from 98% to %59 so what is that telling you?

Popular Post Koke Posted 30 September 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 30 September 2021 (edited) Prople keep mentioning that we miss Evans. Yes. But if we are relying on a 34 year old injury prone Evans for our success then we are doomed. Evans won't play 5 games in a row this season Fofana is a freak injury but are we really saying that we are so crap because we have 1 or 2 inured defenders? Our squad is good enough not to be playing this dull boring garbage. Edited 30 September 2021 by Koke 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the house Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Brendon rodgers has done brilliant over the last 2 years , but because of injuries he has not had a great deal of players to choose from, this season he has been presented with a bigger squad, and has shown he is a defensive coach, who also likes his favourites, he hung daker out to dry tonight, no wingers, no attacking intent, yes we have had 6 years of great success, but I put most of that down to king power owners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 There is no way we should be contemplating him going. He deserves the chance to turn this around and I'm still sure he will. He's a top manager. He just needs to get us somehow to quicken our play up. Our slow ponderous build up leads to teams pressing us and either kasper chipping it out of play/into bad defensive areas or the cbs or dms losing the ball in bad areas and too many of our players being out of good positions and being caught. We need to start playing one touch football with good movement. Every time this season we have played 1 touch football, we have looked so threatening. I can understand why he doesn't trust us at the back, but surely carrying on the same way is not going to help. The key is surely getting us somehow back to full throttle, even if this leads to our standard drop at the end of the season as it feels like this could be a long season otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Brendan has always had a poor record in Europe, so I wasn't expecting much today. Leicester seem to have lost their mojo, we just seem like a collection of players justing going into every match just for the sake of it, no team spirit, no coordination, every player just doing their own bit. Brendan is one of the highest paid in the League, think 3rd or 4th, he needs to earn his bread, the going is getting tough and he needs to turn it around like Arteta has at Arsenal.

coolhandfox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Too man players to choose from, to many formation changes. When you are struggling you need a settle side and a formation. Take Cags, he's played on the RCB in a four saturday, played LCB in a 3 tonight. Players look confused, and lacking confidence, so make it easier keep in simple. Our best run under BR has been with a settle team and formation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
