I'm coming at this from the point of view that Rodgers effectiveness has well and truly worn off, this happens with managers and many successful managers. An overhaul is needed and he's probably earnt the right do be the one to do it but it all depends how much the club consider the squad needs changing quite significantly. If they don't then I see his reign regressing to a sad end. Rudi Garcia would be a great fit here. We tend to look for experienced managers with a track record for developing young players and who have been successful at similar sized clubs. He's done all of that, impressive manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id agree on that, and I get where your coming from I see it as the players struggling for motivation or effort being entirely on how the manager is sending them put there The players look at their best when they're chasing a goal and playing on instinct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beepee1984 Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 Does Rodgers get Leicester to spend all training passing and playing keep ball, because honestly when the players arrive on matchday it looks like they forget they need to score goals until they concede first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it really doesn’t. If everyone get their feckin finger out and moved quicker, found space it could be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LcFc_Smiv Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 I'm at the point now, it's dull it's uninspiring, it's a lot of ****ing money to be constantly frustrated by our lack of intensity. This is probably one of the best squads we have ever had and it is painful to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they are continually asked to persavere. I believe that they may be starting to lose enthusiasm due to continually not succeeding to implement the tactics and style each game. Its not just the poor results, it's the poor performances aswell. Edited 4 November 2021 by Kilworthfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 Spurs made the change this week, Nuno was killing the team, look at Spurs today the players and fans are loving Conte, he just needs to sort out the s*** defence which he will sort out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 It's our mentality that worries me the most. Even when we are behind with time running out we look like like we are 4-0 up in a pre-season friendly. It was the same against Arsenal. Rodgers has been here long enough to have to take ownership of that mentality. I really dislike watching us at the minute and have done since about February or March. Cup final and Man Utd match aside it has mostly been very dull, very frustrating and nowhere near the levels that we all know we can reach. Rodgers called the last international break a reset and a chance to reassess but apart from one reactive performance against Man Utd nothing has changed at all. I won't ever call for him to be sacked after what he's achieved but I'm running low on faith that he will make the changes and improvements required. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Dontlie Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 I was getting Puel flashbacks watching todays game, I kid you not. Actually BR is more of a disappointement than CP, because he has better players at his disposal and he's making them forget how to play football At this point I'm coming to terms with the reality of us being a midtable team (again). I'm neither shocked nor bewildered, just bored and disappointed when watching our games this season (I missed the ManU game sadly). Hopefully we'll finish in the upper half of the table but I just don't see us qualifying for European football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steflcfc Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 I think Rodgers this season, bar a few enforced injuries, now has got to a point with the quality in the squad, where he doesn’t know his best 11 or best formation to get everyone singing. So the chopping and changing is having a effect on how we play, and when we go a goal down, it’s forget Rodgers plan and go more Gun Ho to get back in the match. Were fast becoming reliably predicable and our play is too choreographed to to the point where we all can see what we’re doing before the pass has even been hit....and if that doesn’t work go backwards and try again. One season of mediocrity has the possibility of our better players being poached, considering the this and last season we fought hard for European football, we’re potentially wimpering out of the competition, that could have a great bearing on us having a good squad to an average one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 4 November 2021 Share Posted 4 November 2021 It's looking like the FA Cup win is papering over the cracks. Since Man Utd last March the performances have nosedived considerably. Looked after Moscow away we are back on track but that's looking temporary once again. Will be a fun few weeks ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty obvious. 3 at the back with wingbacks that are full backs and crap as wingbacks means there's 1 extra defender on the pitch instead of another attacking player and with wingbacks not good enough to run the flank on their own they are isolated and creativity is restricted. We have played this system so much in 2021 and largely been turgid and easy to negate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
