By being so public and open about our issues he made the transfers he so badly craved impossible… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you think hed like to go out and spend £200m if he could? His hands are tied. I've firmly been out, but he's slowly redeeming himself. Nothing factually wrong but my main beef with Rodgers is his continual self promotion at the expense of everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always out for me as he's a knob and abysmal when there's any pressure or doubt. Will be nice if we can finish the mid season on over 1ppg though. The flip flopping is gross So he was under no pressure are losing 6 of the first 7? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was always a case we needed to shift the fringe players to get anyone else in, but those fringe players are on super inflated contracts.

Welcome to the boring world of media trained managers and players. He's taking pressure off his players too. Nothing he says will make a headline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, always think this squad has lack the on the pitch leaders as well which hasn't helped. I argue we delivered under pressure away in Rennes and PSV last season.

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 I thought at the end of the game there might have been a ‘Brendan Rodgers blue army”, but there wasn’t. Nice to see the crowd getting behind Ward though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizerud Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 Beginning of the season I was Brendan in and moved into the "happy with whatever the board does with him" camp at the lowest point. Still in that camp but it's certainly looking like he'll be sticking around for good little while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why loads of you are clutching at press conference comments to justify it. Grow up. And you've changed your opinion because we're just outside the relegation zone. That's even worse. Couple of bad results and we're back in it with half the season gone. Lots of people's issues weren't just they we were doing badly on the pitch or had lost a few games, they are far greater and dee rooted. Frankly things that we have no evidence if they have changed. I think the opinion of Rodgers should be a longer term decision, and that's the element he has earned because of the success he had for a couple of years. If people only changed to Rodgers out a few games ago then it's clear they are only focused on the results (which is of course the biggest thing to worry about) but ignoring the wider context. The long term health of the club is in the balance and he's a massive part of that situation, like it or not. The upturn in results has earned him a little more time though. Let's wait and see how things pan out. How some are celebrating the fact we're just above the drop zone with this quality of player, is a great indication of how disastrous this season has been. And apologies, if people are throwing personal insults because they have a different opinion from others; I haven't read the thread recently. I'm just stating that going from Rodgers in a few games into the season, then Rodgers out and now back to thinking he should stay is madness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 Today's performance was so assured. It felt a lot like what we were like in his first full season here.

TMELcfc Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 I’ll hold my hands up and say that Brendan has managed to do something I didn’t think he was capable of… making us much harder to beat. Way too many times since he’s been here I’ve felt teams have had an easy day out. We do still however create very little but the biggest problem was the defence and he’s improved it. Still Rodgers out though 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 Look, it's still massively up for debate how our football club goes in the future, this season is the most important, then we go from there. Rodgers and the whole squad have a lot of making up to do. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but we certainly seem to have turned a corner. We've been spoilt rotten in the last few years and we expect a lot now and rightly so. This could be a season of consolidation, most of you would've taken 17th in goal different 6 weeks ago. Let's just be sensible about it. Yeah, it's shite being low in the league and losing to Bournemouth, but a new boss would want his own squad...we can't afford that. It's bloody frustrating, but we still have the potential, and the time, to have a decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 5 November 2022 Share Posted 5 November 2022 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: I'm as vocal as anyone about him in the past and if I'm proven wrong like I often am then that's fine by me. We evidently look a different team to 6 weeks ago and what I will say is, of all the plaudits Rodgers has rightly or wrongly been credited with over the years, taking a team that were the worst defensive team the PL has ever seen for a chunk of games to getting 5 clean sheets in 7 games is jaw dropping. That impresses me massively. I hope he is truly reborn as a manager here, it would be quite some turnaround. Most managers don't get a chance to prove right or wrong fans, pundits, clubs etc when they've been part of such a horrifying start to the season but he's been given that chance and so far is showing he is capable of doing it and is likely going to revel in a bit of finger pointing. That 2nd half performance tonight was spot on for me, I was pretty frustrated 1st half as a few too many looked off it and sloppy in a game that we were well on top but 2nd half was bang on it. ....we have played some diabolical teams, we have developed a positive attitude overnight, and I suspected anyone new coming in would have achieved as much!!! This is not a squad of helpless also-rans, this is a squad of excellent players, now fused with a defender and coach who knows what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
