It wasn't a fluke. The only game we were lucky in was probably Brighton in the 5th round. "VAR helped us" in that it correctly ruled out a goal for offside.

A very weird and irrational post aimed at a poster who probably doesn’t count “disliking Brendan Rodgers” as part of his personality lmao 

Do you really think his comments are borne out of dislike? Even if true, what made him dislike him so much?

 

Not irrational to me, there's much about Rodgers managerial incompetence, disloyalty towards his own players, club owners, board and even supporters to make him a dislikable and a snivelling little self seeking creep.

...let us not get carried away, he has a name it doesn't follow that he will be a good manager!!!

 He came here when we were so poor and desperate and he came for a draw, from the first whistle. Absolutely no ambition, and an inability to read a situation. 

  If you look at his squad, it is full of talent, so many attacking players and wingers coming out of his ears.

Eze, Zaha,Olise and even Schlupp.

  Chris Richards is in that team, we should be looking to pick him up.

But he bought those players, our manager bought Vestergaard, perez, Bertrand, Danny ward. 

 

You've convinced me, viera in.

Don’t think fluke is ever a correct term for what is a run of games as inevitably there will be comfortable and less so games in that run.

 

The biggest credit to Rodgers is that in a day and age where managers sack off the cups playing weakened sides, he took it seriously. We were pretty comfortable throughout the run, left it late vs Brighton and the semi final was tight but must have been weird playing in a nearly empty Wembley.

 

I would say the final was more, won down to individual brilliance from Tielemans and Kasper than a managerial masterclass though. And yea a bit of fortune with VAR. I’m sure I will get pellets from some for this last bit but I actually think Rodgers bottled it in that game. He has gone all in defensive mode and I had said to my wife before Chilwell scored that if Chelsea score, we have left ourselves nowhere to go in terms of ‘re-winning’ the game. Fortunately VAR and that and the history books will not recognise this. 
 

But it another one where if you look at things in more context, rather than in a black and white, linear way, there were warning signs there.

Just a form of mental medication though. Much more stressful to hate them all.

Just think of the sheer amount of posts. Does Ric get paid by traffic and/or post count.lol. Drama has its rewards. Just not for us.

True, I just need to ‘get with the programme’. :D

He has changed his mind so many times on what our expectations should be that I've no idea what we are aiming for.

Update - 19th - which will be his best professional achievement and one of the best managerial achievements in the history of the game

Past achievements are irrelevant over the next few months but dismissing our FA Cup win as a stick to beat Rodgers with is just absurd, especially when there is so much ammunition out there recently anyway.

I don’t want to see any i told you so’s today if we win. A minimum 5 match winning streak needs to happen before the he’s turned it around and I told you so’s start flying about.

Will get laughed at by some, but really think Rodgers will turn this around.

I and many others, I'm sure, hope he does for the sake of the Club we all love, I dont hate him, as a person, because I don't dissect everything he says, I just hate the lack of fight, ambition and inaction on the pitch and at board level, he will go regardless  of turning it round or not, it's just a matter of time, that time is now whilst we can fight to stay in the Prem, he doesn't have the ability to turn it round consistently.

Of the bottom 11, only 3 clubs have not sacked a manager this season: us, Forest and West Ham.

 

Imo, Villa and Wolves, and possibly Everton have replaced well.

 

The only other managerial change is Brighton.

 

Our board must have a list of possible replacements for Rodgers.

I wouldn’t even assume they have thought about it.  They’ve gone all in with Rodgers and it seems now that we have slept walked into this situation and the club still feel we are going to be just fine.

Reading your posts and your reactions to other posts, it’s clear you still have a soft for Brendun. Or you are the man himself 

 

Please spare us the, ‘I can appreciate what he’s done for the club unlike others’

 

He fluked his way to an FA Cup win, something I’ll be forever grateful for, but he’s caused much more harm here than good 

You don't fluke beating Man U and Chelsea at full strength on the way to a FA Cup win.

It doesn't matter if the FA Cup win was a fluke or not, the credit for that win has been used with interest, let's focus on the here and now, hopefully we can get out the mess we are in with some guts and determination, to be honest if we fluke our way to safety who gives a sh&t let's push on, if we lose today he HAS to go.

I didn't say it was a fluke, I said it was down to the squad. The fact we were lucky doesn't downplay it at all - even the best teams need a lot of luck to win knockout tournaments.

And we should be ecstatic and more grateful because before he came the best we could have hoped for was 20th (might have been a 24 team league back then and that meant we stayed up, but still...). Cvnt

Lose today and I'd imagine that will be that for Rodgers?

 

I'd be very surprised if he kept his job, especially after Palace's decision to dispense with Vierra's services this week.

I have convinced myself of the same, it will be the end. Ready to be disappointed again.
