We won the FA Cup last year don’t forget and we are not Manchester City with tons of money. Point take. So why are we trying to play like Man City?

We're never giving a manager a huge and long contract again. I expect that we will have an idea of managers were interested in. I fully back the people running the club to do the right thing, whatever it might be. At the time it seemed a no brainer didn't it. We looked electric and Rodgers had the lads playing some incredible football. It now looks like hes had a personality change and is completely the opposite of what made us so good and enjoyable to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue ROI Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 The FA Cup win has papered over the cracks. The form we've been in since April isn't far off the worst since the Pearson revival. We can't be far away from the dreaded vote of confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re definitely in a bad patch of form but that doesn’t mean he should go. Look at Liverpool last season, they were far worse than we are now and for much much longer. It was have been suicide for them to sack klopp. We have to stick with Rodgers for now, if it continues then ofc we can question him, but there’s only so much he can do when 3 of the back 4 are injured. Agree with this. We have had an amazing purple patch. Even finishing 5th was highly overachieving for us and should have been applauded but the narrative of ‘failure’ overshadowed our success to the degree that people on here are genuinely questioning our FA Cup win which is utterly bonkers. We are due some splash back and will have to ride it out as a team, a club and supporters. Brendan has most definitely earnt our support in these tricky times. Judge him when he gets his full toolkit to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamza actually having one of his better games and I'd rather have him on to see a game out and break up play. Barnes not going off is just bizarre. He's offering little, and Albrighton on for him much earlier would have been better defensively too. I don't know if he or the coaches are working on the defence. It's abysmal, I actually can't remember a time where its been consistently worse than this. I understand Castagne over Riccardo actually he did well today. But I'm not having that Bertrand should be on the pitch. Rather than Thomas or Castagne even at left back. Same goes for Amartey and Vestegaard We were being over run in midfield, if you're playing a lone striker it makes sense for it to be Vardy left on. Neither 1 of our strikers were seeing much of the ball. My only complaint is that he didn't do it sooner. Hamza kept giving the ball away and hasn't played any football this season so was never likely to last 90 minutes. Amartey cost us the goal against Legia. We are where we are, down to the bare bones in defence which means the midfield can't be as progressive as they'd like because they need to protect the back 4. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason our midfield was being overrun was because Barnes and Bertrand couldn’t deal with their RB and RW causing Youri or Hamza to push wide. The source of the problem was our left IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Didn’t watch the game but sounds like the manager is creating a rod for his own back by sticking with certain players in the hope they come back to form. He’s been decisive with Ricardo, Perez and Maddison, yet not with Barnes and Bertrand. It had the right effect on Maddison as he looked proactive and hungry when he came on vs Legia Warsaw. Wonder if it’s worth taking Barnes out or rotating between him and Lookman so the former plays EL and the latter in the domestic league? And similarly, playing Bertrand in the Europa, and Thomas in the league until Justin returns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree we did need the extra midfielder on as we were getting completely dominated from the start but that's what happens when we play 4 4 2 without a physical box to box midfielder and two wingers who don't track back so well. Then it's a choice between Vardy or Nacho and a sub to sure things up on the left where we getting exploited all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take out Bertrand then you’ve got Thomas or Castagne. Thomas has been poor this season and was shocking midweek. If castagne plays there then Ricardo goes to RB and you’ve praised Brendan for dropping him. If we drop Barnes then lookman goes there and perez right mid, and everyone’s slated perez at RW for 2 years. I get what you’re saying, but there’s only so much rotation we can do.

FoxesWalk Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Time for him to earn the big bucks. His system isn’t working, he changed it up to good effect last season when we lost key players… let’s hope he can do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did he’d leave the first opportunity a bigger job comes up. Plus his sides usually commit suicide after a couple of years anyway, we’d be in the same situation as we are now.

It’s the timing and the type of subs he keeps ****ing up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Russell Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 I thought it was odd to play 2 in the middle of midfield when Wilf isn’t there. im not a Hamza hater, but I don’t think he’s good enough to play in a cm pair in a tough away game. Selection was poor today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
