Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 21 October 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 October 2022 4 hours ago, Jakemoore said: Genuine question - How many consecutive wins would it take for the vast majority of the fan base to be pro-Rogers again? Taking the Many City game out of the equation because I think we will all forgive a loss there, if we win all of our games until the WC would we all jump back on the Brendan bandwagon or has he done too much damage? For me, he criticised the club and I can’t stand for that. But I’m a fickle football fan so I’d be backing him again if we went on a 5 game winning streak and the performances were good. I should add the pivotal caveat to that - not a chance do we only lose one more game before the WC. It's one of those things that just seems so farfetched that I can't picture it. It would be such a deviation from the norm that I think even if we won 5 in a row, including Man City I'd think it was an anomaly. Leicester under Rodgers are a side that don't create loads but score a lot, are dreadful in the second half but not bad in the first, don't stop chances being created against well. This has been the case 18 months. I don't think we're as bad as the opening 7 results, nor do I think we'd be as good as an anomaly 5 game run. What I am sure of is that somebody else could get more from this squad. I also can't ever warm to him because of how he's been, the constant lies, the constant selling the club short for his own gain. If he hasn't lost the players it's just totally baffling to me. We need a change for me even if we somehow end up finishing midtable. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can have extended downturns, but rarely does the manager stay after he undermines the club. We won't sack him now. The time was after Spurs. He will be here for a while so we have to hope he still wants it enough here to get himself a decent move elsewherw when the time comes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 21 October 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 October 2022 We have won twice this season.and on both occasions the opposition were absolute dogs muck. You can only beat what’s in front of you, but every team who have performed to a modicum of a reasonable level have beaten us. Watching the Amazon prime post match interview almost made me puke 🤢 Brendan was lapping it up as the pundits were lauding him as some sort of tactical genius, and yet we managed a handful of chances created and only one on target all night. I welcome the 3 points but I cannot support him for how he has behaved and how far he has dragged our team down. Please Villa take him off our hands and force us to start again. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 21 October 2022 Share Posted 21 October 2022 If we beat Wolves that would be 10 points from 5 games since Spurs. That is the form of a team at the top of the table. Whatever happens the squad is stonkingly stale and needs to be disbanded as is the managers ideas. I certainly don't think he is the man for a rebuild although Top seems to think he is god or something which is worrying. My best case scenario is we beat Wolves, Villa sack Gerrard and Rodgers is offered their job and he sails off in to the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for Villa. They've just sacked Gerrard because they're 17th in the table. I can't see them appointing the manager of a team doing worse, and with a better squad.

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 21 October 2022 Share Posted 21 October 2022 (edited) I don't really care about the arguments for brendan in or out currently. With only 6 more league games till Jan I hope we can win three and somehow get ourselves in a mid table position. We need a goalkeeper, centre back and winger in jan. If top isn't going to sack him he may as well back him. Too many gaps in this team to avoid relegation as it stands.

Praet played very well out there to remind us what he can offer but let’s face it Firpo was muck and Praet had the better of him just by running in a straight line. Definitely need a pacy RW as an out ball when making our 21st pass between the back 5, a new CB as Evans is shot - less sentiment needed with him as hate to say it but really hope they don’t offer him a new contract unless reduced wages and happy as 4th choice?

Dames Posted 21 October 2022 Share Posted 21 October 2022 At the minute we are really relying on teams being worse than us than us being better than them. It's not sustainable but with that being said I can see us getting a result at Wolves. The true test now will be how we recover after being thrashed by Man City.

tickler28 Posted 21 October 2022 Share Posted 21 October 2022 I've come to terms with the fact that Top is backing Rodgers and getting behind my club. I've put the whole Rodgers in/out to bed now. I've seen enough from the players to tell me that they are still all playing for him. Concentrating on winning as many matches between now and the World Cup....then we can re evaluate the manager situation but right now its clear nothing is happening especially after 7 points from 12 so this thread is sort of pointless and counter productive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
