We have had difficult time before, some worst than this - Holloway springs to mind, Pleat towards the end of his tenure when we lost six in a row. Now is the time to get behind the team. BR has become a hate figure for some but it wasn’t long ago when we he was milking the applause at the London Stadium after a comfortable win over West Ham. I'm not convinced "Getting behind the team" is going to have much of an effect tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m beyond the reasoning, I simply want Rodgers out of my life. For me, it’s the stage of a relationship that has gone beyond counselling and couple’s therapy, but neither of you can afford to leave the home so the vitriol grows. Brendan is a cvnt Well to assist with your analogy maybe just try having sex with him again - you'll probably find everybody benefits and things will be going swimmingly again on all fronts. Edit: A damn good Rodgering is what you need mate. Edited 9 January 2023 by Nick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichfox Posted 9 January 2023 Share Posted 9 January 2023 Now he's gone I'll miss his honest approach to the pre match pressers and post match analysis...and his continual updates oh the fitness of our squad members. I'm a little unsure about his use of the development squad though... Oh fcuk he's still here isn't he 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyfin Posted 9 January 2023 Share Posted 9 January 2023 Half expecting the sob story to start again about having a small squad , injuries and no signings. I'd be very surprised if we make any significant signings. Maybe we will bring in a loan but I just don't see anything else that will make a significant difference to the first team squad this window. I don't understand how he says we are a small squad when we named 25 players the sane as everyone else plus we have the kids to call on. Surely every team is the sane size? 25? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers is done here but don't believe Potter is the significant upgrade he's made out to be. Issues around injuries and coaching methods have been documented on here.

Well we do have lots of injuries, and we've only made one signing in the last 18 months. And I think the majority of supporters feel that the likes of Perez, Vestergaard, Praet, Soumare and others are not good enough. I know he was involved in many of those signings, but he does have a point. If we really can't make any signings, when has gone on the record to say we can, we really do have a significant management issue. It's not helped by the fact that the Club remains silent on everything. That's all well and good when things are going well, but it's not so clever when things are going not so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people take the literal all the time, maybe he refers to players at his disposal currently, so 25 minus 9 = 16 of which 3 are goalies so now down to 13 senior outfield players with very little cover in certain positions to fill 10 matchday places in a period that has seen us play every 3.3 days up till this coming saturday, when there after we start to get a week gap again. He can call on some of the academy players but even that will only boost you by 3 maybe 4 bodies at a push, we still don't have enough to fill a matchday squad resulting in a weak lopsided bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would Rather say he has a small squad because ot sounds better for his defence rather than moan about injuries. You can't defend him for saying something and say he ment something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a stat knocking around the other day that we are one of the few teams to have named a full 25 man squad yet have used one of the fewest number of players. Essentially the squad has been filled with players he doesn't trust enough to use. Who is responsible isn't really clear though, whether it's a recruitment or management issue. The part I don't understand, is him complaining that injuries are caused by the small squad. Better to play a player don't fancy sometimes and prevent your best from getting injured rather than just sticking with the same ones every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
