We’ll go on a ridiculous run now until our bubble bursts and everything goes wrong. I just hope another side comes in for him whilst we are doing well. We all know it will go wrong again if he stays. The good spells are getting shorter and less frequent as time goes on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promises of squad ‘rebuilding’ only to find that we were skint. Then looking every bit a relegation side, with zero confidence, making lots of individual errors…. To a performance like that today when every time we went forward we looked like scoring.

We can become awful to sublime at the blink of an eye. There is just ZERO consistency Yeah, I agree. We have played some of our best ever football and worst ever football under Rodgers. Though I suspect the truth is that we've been reasonably good for several seasons now and have forgotten some truly dreadful times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 I still see no longevity in him staying but its clear to see that he'll be here for the foreseeable so no point bleating on anymore. Hope he does enough to keep us in this league 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 I still don’t trust him with the huge rebuild thats coming next summer. Especially since its the signings that have happened on his watch that left us in a dire position this summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can become awful to sublime at the blink of an eye. There is just ZERO consistency Agreed in the main ..... to date! I think it still remains a moot point as to whether or not we'd have finished in the top four in Rodgers' first full season in 2019-20 had Covid/lockdown mk.1 never happened - resulting in operation re-start of course in which our form went from middling/poor to wretched re things like the total collapse at Bournemouth and with it then being pipped to fourth spot on the final day with the home loss to Mancs I think we were still on for a top four finish until that rude interruption came along. Had we finished in a CL spot that season then you'd like to think we'd have then had the confidence to repeat that the following season (rather than suffer the exact same fate all over again!), although all that is now hypothetical of course. Covid did really impact the sport in a lot of ways for the 18 months that it was rampant for though lest we forget, even down to our summer of no spending just gone re the impact it had on the King Power empire (even though as you alluded to, bizarrely we reached an FA Cup Final and finally won it in that time!). Overall it benefitted very few really! Edited 23 October 2022 by Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can become awful to sublime at the blink of an eye. There is just ZERO consistency Col, know what you mean, but in 60 years of supporting Leicester, apart from a couple of exceptions there has never been any real consistency from any manager. (Except under McLintock and Taylor!!) Even when we won the league we had a spell in March / April of not playing well but grinding out 1-0 wins. Under both Bloomfield and MON we were brilliant one week and crap the next. It’s the nature of supporting the city. Sure we’ve got really talented players, but most of the league has as well. If there is a better manager out there, tell me who it is. Don’t forget that every available name has been sacked at one time or another for having a poor run of results and being slagged off by supporters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 He's earned some breathing space, not much to gain from sacking him at this stage. Still a long way to go to win the fans around I think but we may as well ride the win streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Interestingly in the 3 games we have won this season we have arguably allowed the opposition more of the ball and we have not played as much of the slow turgid possession based football that Rodgers craves. What interests me is where Rodgers has realised his tactics aren’t working and has looked to go to a faster based style where we play quickly and incisively rather than possession for possession sakes. My biggest fear is he reverts to type again soon enough and back to square one albeit with more credit in the bank with the owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksz Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Some of the opposition we’ve faced have put in performances up there with the worst I’ve seen since we’ve been back in the premier league in Forest, Palace, Leeds and Wolves today. Can only beat what’s in front of you mind and they’re clearly still playing for him. Happy to reserve a bit more patience until the World Cup, but still don’t see long term how it’ll be any different to the state of play for well over a year now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as fans don't know any more than we see match day and personally speaking, it's a good job that I'm neither the manager or chairman. I can remember some very poor past City squads that shouldn't be referred to in the same sentance as our currant one and some even worse owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
