(Ignoring the polls where a huge majority said they weren’t) We’ve won a few games, fantastic. He still bottled top 4 twice, insulted the fans, insulted the owners, blamed everyone else but himself and has dragged a squad that was competing for Europe into lower/mid table mediocrity. Oh and bottled Europe as well actually in that time. My stance has been the same for well over a year. A few wins won’t change that. And you are a Leicester City supporter ??????????

Grebfromgrebland Posted 6 November 2022 Share Posted 6 November 2022 We had defensive issues. He got help and bought in a defensive specialist and a CB. Now we're keeping clean sheets. What's not to like? You can harp on about the past and be miserable or you can enjoy this upward trajectory of ours and revel in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a number of horrendous results with a lack of confidence, leadership and willingness to take responsibility. The direction of travel was firmly towards relegation. Recent form and results have been good. So of course it’s right to see if that continues. I’m hoping that BR now has belief in this squad and builds on recent form. Earlier BR was too wrapped up in the lack of signings when he should have been concentrating on achieving the best with what we have. Largely agree but do think there is more nuance in our early season struggles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Suzie the Fox Posted 6 November 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 6 November 2022 More than happy that our form has changed for the better (i'm still buzzing from yesterday.) I do get why soo soo many wanted/voted him out after the 1st 7 games (and even prior to that.) The football wasn't as good on the eyes as it had been at the start, although i never found it as bad as some were saying. Whether it was down to BR, Wout Faes or the incoming set piece coach, I don't know. Maybe a combination of all 3, but for now I am pleased we didn't get rid and more than anything I just want to see LCFC continue with the positive results. I don't really get the hatred for someone trying to do their job, even when their stratagy doen't play out. I certainly dont take much notice from their scripted after match feedback, Just know that today i am much happier reading these boards than i have been for a long time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyKopCorner Posted 6 November 2022 Share Posted 6 November 2022 I still want him gone. Showed his true colours when the chips were down. Hopefully another job comes up and we can get rid and we can get a manager more committed to our great club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Filbert Posted 6 November 2022 Share Posted 6 November 2022 He said something along the lines of unless you was inside he club you have no idea how bad it was in the summer.

He's in the process of proving me wrong because the form we have shown in the last seven games is much closer to what this team is capable of. I want to be wrong because that means that Leicester City are doing well.

Dusty Posted 6 November 2022 Share Posted 6 November 2022 I’m still really confused as to what he said earlier in the season that was so wrong? It gets brought up on here a lot but I don’t think I’ve seen any direct quotes, besides him saying it was a hot day in October. Can somebody share the links or the quotes?

Generally would like to see the quote. I feel Rodgers often gets overly scrutinised with some of his words. I've been quite critical of him when I feel it's required, but even when it's just normal quotes in an interview or conference his words will get twisted. He could say the sky is blue and several won't like it just because it's Rodgers saying it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, he has not yet won or lost in reality. What we are seeing is a movement in a positive direction after weeks of poor results, and if it continues and we finish positively (top half? Higher?) then yes, he has recovered and deserves credit. The other actions seeming to happen regarding recruitment seem positive too, so happy times, and we judge at the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting his head after the awful start -- he was making awful decisions, and I think didn't really care. I actually think he wanted the sack after the poor hand he was dealt over the summer. I was always Rodgers In before that, and have noted that people twist his words all the time on this forum ("He said we can't compete with the big 6!" No, he said we don't have the finances of the Big 6, and can't spend what they do on players, so have to do business differently than them to compete in the League.) But the fact is, it is a wonder he wasn't sacked at the beginning of the season: Any other manager at any other club would have been. Even Rodgers himself alluded to this fact in post-game interviews! But he seems to have turned things around, and I will always support the manager when, you know, we are winning games and getting clean sheets. I just hope the World Cup break doesn't hurt us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted 6 November 2022 Share Posted 6 November 2022 (edited) The recent upturn is highly creditable but the reality is he’s finally addressing issues he should have addressed two years ago. It would be bonkers to part with him now but I’m remain afraid he will be equally inflexible the next time our form dips.
