( and no, I’m not a Brendan supporter). Lampard guided Chelsea to a top 4 finish, with a transfer embargo in place and having lost Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 23 January 2023 Share Posted 23 January 2023 3 hours ago, Matt said: I mean I wasn't genuinely advocating for Lampard, merely stating it's probably got more to do with what Rodgers has done to lose his support. However, for the purpose's of discussion and debate, what had Brendan achieved before he came here? Bearing in mind the talent, opportunity and resources at Liverpool. SPL? In which case are we having Gerrard? Neil Lennon? Ronnie Deila? They all did well in the Scottish Pub League. you can’t add disclaimers like bearing in mind what resources Rodgers had at Liverpool because then we can mention the resources ( talent) Lampard had at Chelsea.

Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 24 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 January 2023 (edited) At what stage are the media and senior figures at the club going to challenge Brendan on his performance as Manager. Week in, week out he bemoans the lack of squad quality, squad depth and investment in new players and yet there are so many things that as Manager and an elite one at that, is in his control - 1) he continues to ignore certain players who could make a difference, and more importantly freshen things up and help with squad rotation which in turn would help with keep players injury free. Soyuncu and Iheanacho are stand out examples of this. 2) poor tactics and team structure, we switched to 4-3-3 last season and have adopted a more passive approach to our play with slower, controlled possession style, which has coincided with a marked drop off in performances, results and league position 3) team selection, our defensive record over the last 2 seasons has got progressively worse, and yet he continues to select Danny Ward who at best is a Championship level starting goalkeeper and at worst is a back up premier league keeper and Daniel Amartey who again at best is a 4th/5th choice defender and continues to ignore better options within the squad or refuses to give other players an opportunity. 4) the overall regression of the squad, with the exception of Maddison and Tielemans, i would argue the rest of the squad are regressing and that is largely due to the poor tactical set up of the team. Our style does not suit the squad we have, we can play possession based football but the intensity has gone and that is killing players such Vardy, Barnes, Daka and KDH. 5) injuries, the record since he arrived at the club has been awful, every season we have a major injury crisis and yet again at no stage are his methods called into question 6) his treatment of players such as Iheanacho and Soyuncu is nothing short of shocking, we have been leaking goals for fun and yet at no stage does Cags get an opportunity to come back into the fold. We are now struggling to score goals and yet our top scorer from a couple of seasons ago barely gets a sniff. Yet again Rodgers is never challenged on this. I honestly believe if Morgan and Kasper were still in and around the dressing room in some capacity, Brendan would have gone by now, they wouldn’t have accepted the constant whinging, whining and disrespect of the club, senior management, players and supporters and by now would have been in Tops ear telling him enough is enough.

Good point on Kasper - it all felt very strange at the time that our captain and first choice goalkeeper was let go without any fanfare, fee or obvious replacement. With hindsight, I suspect KS was strongly challenging BR methods in the dressing room and was quickly shown the door to avoid further disruption. A bad move for everyone involved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Kasper had lost motivation, put on weight and wasn't happy or feeling himself anymore and made a request to club owners to facilitate a move to warmer climates with his family.

They lost Hazard but still had; Kante, Rudiger, Jorginho, Giroud, Mount, Pulisic, Azpilicueta. Don't pretend he was hard done too, they spent 40m that summer too. They lost 12 games which was the same amount as us. He never improved Chelsea, or Derby. He impressed me keeping Everton up but this season they have been awful.
