Popular Post Corky Posted 12 November 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 November 2022 He deserved to be sacked in the international break, the first seven games were awful. The whole atmosphere around the club was toxic. His decision making and manner was unacceptable. Since then, we look a different team. He's made big decisions that have worked- keeping Danny Ward in the team and sticking with Amartey when Evans returned. The team looks more organised and settled. Of course, a long way to go but credit where it is due, 16 points from 8 games is a great run and if a new manager had overseen it we'd be lauding it. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point I think its best for everyone if we part ways before a busy summer transfer window. ...you do not believe Khun Top went through all that, to let him go at the end of the season!!! It wasn't Top versus Rodgers, it was Khun Top versus the players, and he won that battle. Knudsen's conversations will be interesting with Kasper at the World Cup, will there be a meeting of minds or a cordial work environment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's rarely made signing that improve the first team--and what we desperately need is that in abundance. I honestly hope he's gone next season. The injuries, transfers and isolating players are enough for that. I doubt he wants to stay either. Right ok so when a signing works out it's not a Rodgers signing it's a Leicester signing? Ok.... The injuries have nothing to do with him at all either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was too stuck in his ways but he seems to have found a way to get us playing again which is what you want to see from a top manager. Abso-bloody-lutely. Credit where credits due that he's actually changed the style - it's been a long time coming. We've seen it before only to go back to his way but this time his change seems to be for a longer, sustained period, long may it continue. I fear post World Cup it'll be back to his way but that's something worry about when we resume. As i've just said in the post-match thread, in recent weeks we've seen far less possession than the pointless possession we've become accustomed to in the last 2 years, is there any coincidence we've had less but doing far more with what we have - more effective, efficient, exciting football, arguably having more success for it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us he has had (IMHO) had better highs on a longer basis than most… and has hit ,again IMO , a 14 month drop off…with small patches of building hope. I was fed up of the football performances…This season he again started poor… I wouldn’t of been disappointed if the club had departed their ways… Hes turned it around it seems,so I am happy to wait… Where I have cringed,where after 8-9 months,total crap was written over him using statements or interviews, twisting and turning words,just like the media often does, coming from within side this forum….Whatever….it’s just pathetic crap..,! I don’t chase a managers words,trying to make a bigger story than the football being presented & performed…If you like soap-opera tactics…poor you… but just my opinion,which according to the moaners is everybody’s right.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonaldinho Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 He came over to the away fans for the first time in a while today and really lingered after the players had gone. He got a great response and looked delighted. I don't think anybody saw this run coming so huge credit to him for turning things round. We've now only got a couple of games before January when it sounds like we might have a bit of money to spend so hopefully we can push on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked for many great leader - who I did not question and in whom I trusted. Integrity is key. Most good leaders stand with their guts thru thibk and thin - look at most PL managers - but that's not what rodgers did is it? Sorry but what evil has Rodgers conjured up… Leadership has many faces,sometimes it’s the the followers who have closed minds,or singular thought…. like I don’t like this leaders ways,it must be wrong,it can’t be my Attitude..

Look mate,I like your posts, but neither Rodgers or any PL manager has a major say on signings, he will influence descisions on what type and who he “would” like…but that’s all.. Their job begins once a player is signed .IMO he’s done well with his squad resources…not being able to bring in people hasn’t much to do with manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dusty Posted 12 November 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 November 2022 The same people on here saying that Rodgers has been disrespectful, are the same ones who were calling him a fraud and a charlatan. Rodgers has rarely been disrespectful at all, you people just dislike him and will use anything as ammunition. Didnt Pearson tell a fan to “fck off and die”, I’d say that’s far worse than anything Rodgers has said yet people ignored it because they liked him. Why are people still looking for something to argue about and be negative about when we’re one of the most in form teams in the league? Most people think he should have been sacked, but that doesn’t matter now, we are where we are so just be happy about it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkdale Fox Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 I did actually bump into him as he temporarily moved up to Southport during lockdown and he chatted to me for ages, said he loved both the club and city and appeared to me to be a really decent bloke.

Nick Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 What a turn around. I wanted four points out the last three to definitively convince me and and he’s got six. That’ll do pig, that’ll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 (edited) I think some people focus far too much on a manager’s personality in interviews instead of what they do with the players or how we perform. It’s very difficult to give answers to inane questions immediately after a game whatever the result. People expect them to be truthful, open and honest, whilst at the same time playing the part of the diplomat and politician. It’s true that Brendan tends towards mealy mouthed cliches just as Pearson was irritable and acerbic. I was pro BR for a long time when so many were against him, but did believe earlier this season that he’d have to leave. I’m still not certain that he’s the right man for us with a major reset approaching in terms of playing staff. We also could still pay a heavy price for our appalling start this season. If, however, we ended up finishing the season in (say for example) the top ten. Then I think he’d have done a pretty fine job given the circumstances of no summer signings and so many players running their contracts down. I wouldn’t really give a **** what he says about the board, the fans or any of his David Brent-isms. I only care about how well he’s done as a bloody football manager!

We played teams with no fire power upfront, they created chances, just no one to take advantage and put them away. The upturn in form was to be expected when Rodgers finally decided to go another way, he said so in an interview. Let us see where the January window takes us, we are already good enough for top six with the players we have, let us see what Glover can pull out of the hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleolly Posted 12 November 2022 Share Posted 12 November 2022 He's changed the style back to how we were playing in late 2019 and it's a joy to watch organised a game plan and it's lovely to watch long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
