Matt_Lcfc Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 (edited) The success in the PL and the FA Cup win should buy him some time but my patience is wearing thin. I am certain that he has no idea what his best team is and he appears clueless when it comes to stopping the rot. We seem to be in free fall and face an uphill battle to progress in Europe, it really is a shocking start quite frankly. Some really tough games coming up too.

BenTheFox Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 I'm beginning to accept that he won't be here by Christmas. That shouldn't reflect on his ability as a manager but there's something fundamentally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes should’ve come off after their first goal. Albrighton would’ve helped Bertrand out. Subs were what cost us the game 100%. So the only sub you disagree with was albrighton for Lookman? I agree we needed extra support on the left, but we were poor all over the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 If ever there was an example of a manager ‘losing the plot’, this is it. He’s flapping around like a novice at the moment, making bad decision after bad decision, and the team has gone from being a very good one to a very poor one in next to no time. I don’t know what the answer is, but watching us at the moment is a nerve-racking chore and if it doesn’t change soon, I genuinely fear we could be looking at a relegation fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-fox Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 442 was the way to go, the starting personnel wasn’t. He should have started Albrighton and Lookman on the wings as one is more attack minded and one is more defensive so it’s give balance. In midfield starting Choudary wasn’t a bad call given his energy but I would have swapped in KDH as his sub as Soumare hasn’t shown me anything so far to say he’s up to speed. Bertrand is pants and maybe Ricardo could have played Lb but maybe still carrying a niggle. And I’d have gone for Amartey instead of Vestergaard.

Le Renard Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Last season he seemed to navigate the injury crisis and we did well, but this year I don't know what has gone on, but the team just has a soft underbelly, they seem unable to dig in. Rodgers has to rectify it and get the teams confidence back to where it should be, we've all heard "they were too good to go down", that can't be us.....can it?

However that sub caused us to lose shape and Palace scored immediately. After their first goal he should have brought Barnes off tbh. Terrible game management.

It’s a blip I’m very much Rodgers in. No knee jerk reaction to what has been a poor start. I also believe things have gone against us earlier in the season which has contributed to this run (the deflection which allowed Silva to Nick the win, the goals disallowed against Brighton). However, what we are turning out now is not just a blip. It’s deeper than that. I was begging for full time today against Palace. Not Chelsea or Liverpool, Palace. Players look under prepared for games. Clueless when times get hard. There is something deeper. It’s for the manager to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soumare for Hamza to add physicality Maddison for Nacho for an extra body in the middle, the most questionable Albrighton for Lookman as we were being battered Hamza was closing them down, making them make mistakes. No problem with Soumare coming on, but not in a like-for-like 2-man midfield when we’re getting overrun. Anyone who thinks Maddison coming on for Nacho is a good thing right now either doesn’t watch live football or must be a Maddison fan boy. Bring Albrighton on when you’re 2-0 up / 2-1 up. Sure it up. But don’t bring him on for Lookman. Not when he’s got that something special to unlock a defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver surfer 1 Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 The guy is anchoring his own removal . He feels he’s done enough to keep his reputation intact but still get another job somewhere else . He’s a slime ball that was given the reigns to what he dreamed and now he feels it’s time to get out abs he’s been found out . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason you’re annoyed is because you’re an Iheanacho fan boy. The subs weren’t the issue. We’re in a poor bit of form and confidence is low. Nows brendans chance to get us going again.

Blanchflower78 Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 He's dragging us down sadly. It's Ranieri season 2 all over again. Don't think the players believe they can win matches currently. Palace like Burnley looked far more dangerous, we've not hit the bigger boys yet bar Man City. Frightening to think what the next month holds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 The sooner we can be rid of Brendan, the better I think. The longer we keep making excuses and ignoring the very clear signs, the more we will keep going backwards as a team and club. Hes shown he can be an exciting and superb manager, but that man has not existed for nearly a year now. This version of Brendan is not what we need. For me, it'll probably do both parties best to go their separate ways and freshen things up 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iheanacho is arguably our best player and clearly, at the minute at least, much more capable of holding the ball up and creating something than Maddison is. Barnes has been poor this season, could have subbed him off instead. Strange decisions for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetstonefox Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 One thing we know about the owners they’ll give him some time to turn it around, but will be ruthless if they think he’s lost the plot/dressing room. Guess Vardy and Kasper have seen this a few times now , they’ll have a feeling if this is just a short term blip down to injuries/loss of form or something more not being right behind the scenes.
