Ian Nacho Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 The thing that irritated me the most tonight is him not coming out to clap the fans. He does it when we win but after an absolute shocker of a performance he hides in the changing room. Takes all the praise and none of the stick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're almost guaranteed to lose the Forest game. This is the kind of thing we were thinking at the start of the season, when we were on the statistically worst start to a Premier League season. It still wasn't enough to get the hook. It's the like the plan is to just leave him there as it would cost money to get rid of him - but nobody at the top of the club seems to have twigged that they are about to lose way, way more money than that when Rodgers takes us down.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 33 minutes ago, Unabomber said: Will he ever take an ounce of responsibility?! Hell will freeze over the day he does. My favourite part in that interview - which was another masterclass in excuses and absolving himself of any blame - was, when finally pressed about the injury record, he said it was because we have a small squad and the players have had to play a lot of games. Last time I checked, he’d maxed out his 25-man squad… And it’s his choice on who to play and how often. He chose to sign Bertrand and Vestergaard. He decided to ostracise Soyuncu. He has decided not to give Albrighton (who always shows he’s capable of playing a role) any minutes since Stockport. And he’s decided to sideline and then call back the likes of Mendy and Perez in the last couple of years. So, to me, that ‘small squad’ is a Brendan created problem! I would have loved BBC Radio Leicester to challenge him a bit on that. Kudos for finally asking a question about the injury record but my word he gets away with simply deflecting a hell of a lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkisnorbo Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Keep thinking how similar this situation is to the one at Manchester United with Solskjaer. Everyone on planet earth with half a brain knew it was over months even a year before he finally went. The slow plod to a decision they know that they will make at some point. We’re sleepwalking into a decision that MUST be made now. Empty, soulless, plodding, sad. Could go on. Sucked every ounce of enjoyment out of it.

Tuna Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Unless the board back Rodgers, it's time to sack him - there has to be a coach out there who can coach this lot into a coherent football team. It's criminal what's happened to the club over the last 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Every time I have a bit of a lazy work day and feel guilty for not being productive, I remember that Brendan Rodgers; - Does nothing to address obvious issues (i.e. do his job) - Demonstrates no accountability or acknowledgement for his lack of action - And earns multiple millions of pounds for the pleasure So he makes me feel better in that respect. That's where the positives end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecity23 Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 (edited) That bench tonight though - what was Lewis Brunt doing on it? I like Brunt, but he plays at CB or DM. There were already 2 other centre backs and two other defensive midfielders on the bench. How many injuries in defence and central midfield was Rodgers planning for? Did he think he's need them all to defend the lead we never had? Why on earth hasn't he tried to find an attacking player from the Dev squad to fill out the bench, there were sod all options on there to get back into the game once we went behind. He used to like Maswanhise, but now it's like he's forgotten he exists. Edited 3 January 2023 by orangecity23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Small squad? Ahem, I thought the whole reason behind the aborted summer rebuild was because we had too many bodies that couldn't fit in the squad? We needed to offload some before we got any in? Further to this why are we offering new contracts to Evans and Amartey if that's the case. Journos - call him out on this bullshit, counter his points, read quotes back to him and push him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 3 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 3 January 2023 Going 3 at the back was just staggering, we were horse shit for that final 20 minutes tonight. I'm disgusted. It obviously wasn't great all night and missed some sitters and our passing and final ball was appalling but we looked more functional until he opted to go 3 at the back against a team who weren't interested in attacking any longer, just bizarre. Nobody benefitted from that either, Vardy and Iheanacho didn't get any space, Barnes and Perez were even worse than before and Albrighton who'd had a lot of joy with Castagne, Perez and Tielemans in a 4-4-2 was nullified by just letting him cross the ball from deep as a wing back instead. Our subs since the restart just haven't made an iota of a difference. These latest injury calamities is just beggars belief and to top it off he seems to be moving the goal posts on transfers once again, probably not his fault but just sums this whole sorry season up and what a waste of everyone's time this is. We are going down inside the next 2.5 seasons (likely sooner) without divine inspiration and investment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 We’ve gone back to square one, but we’ve been here before. Last season we produced a spell of 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss during March-April. We then lost to Newcastle, which led to another shit mini run. This season we saw 4 league wins in 5 before the World Cup, return from the World Cup now we’ve lost three in a row. We’ve just become a stale inconsistent team, Rodgers has been a big part of turning us that way, but the players and boardroom are to blame too. We have too many players that are coming to the end of their contracts, too many players who have regressed and too many players who are simply not good enough. From the boardroom standpoint, it seems we have little money and negotiations on player contracts has been appalling over the past year. What we are seeing right now reeks of Everton’s decline. A lot may have to change, rather than just the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Long shot, but what do you reckon: you can get Brendo’s signature off eBay for forty quid. Just add “I resign” above it and get someone to slip it under Top’s door. Genuinely think this will work because everyone running the club is too incompetent to suss the ruse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelleh Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 What does it for me is how silent the hierarchy have been throughout. Absolute silence. Not even a dreaded vote of confidence statement after probably the worst start to a top flight campaign ever given our previous finishes. Constantly left in the dark with no explanation, wondering what the **** is going on. It’s a gob of spit to our faces. I’m sorry but Vichai wouldn’t have stood for this bollocks and it’s about time Top grew some, because the fan base will turn on him if he’s not careful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksz Posted 3 January 2023 Share Posted 3 January 2023 Subs, or lack of, were a protest tonight. Poor selections all round, seems to have forgotten that Kel literally carried us the last time Maddison was out and adds some sort of threat and a passing option between the lines. He won’t go until the end of the season unless we get in real glaringly obvious danger of dropping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
