I’m bored of the same old crap he serves up in pre match interviews.

I’m bored of not being able to trust a word our manager says (injuries & set piece coach)

I’m bored of his stubbornness and reluctance to admit he’s wrong and change things. 

 

I’ve backed Rodgers all the way, but I don’t know what it is, I’ve said it for a while now but he’s lost his spark! I’ve not seen him smile for months and after what we’ve been served up in recent weeks I don’t know if he can turn it around. He seems way to distracted and the players don’t seem to be responding to him.

Hilarious when he wins 8 in a row and they give it to him permanently.

The football we played in the first half of the 2019-20 season was outstanding. I felt we were actually better than our title winning team at times. 

 

Honestly believe if it wasn't for COVID, we would have finished in the top 4 comfortably that season.

 

Never quite hit the heights since as you say. Injuries to key players definitely haven't helped but strange selections and reluctance to address glaring issues he really isn't doing himself any favours.

 

We may have seen it through for top 4 (which was a total capitulation) but it was already going down hill before Covid. The season never recovered from the Liverpool hammering on Boxing Day.

Let’s face it, it would be wishful think that Man Utd are even considering Rodgers at this stage. Rodgers may have had his head turned like a few senior players and I would imagine it has had a negative impact on performances. I think the best we can hope for at this stage is that Rodgers somehow turns this round. The board are not going sack him. Not sure how to turn it round though maybe a clear the air talks? Not sure. 🤷🏼‍♂️  I know it has been mentioned before but it all seems to have aligned with moving into sea grave? Maybe the teething problems are really showing.

Northcroft from Times reported a few weeks back that the perfect case for Rodgers is he takes a job at end or start of season; he didn’t like the backlash he faced at Celtic for leaving mid way through the season and as a result his reputation damaged 

But if he continues to struggle here this season then he's less attractive for United to employ, especially as the fans don't want him anyway. 

 

He could find himself out of a job soon and if he doesn't get the United one then where next for him?

They’re stalling to the end of the season to bide their time for either Rodgers or maybe even Poch.

 

If they wanted Zidane they’d do it now.

 

It’s going to be an absolute circus until the end of the season now and as @Chocolate Teapothas said numerous times the club will never sack him with that bumper contract.

Rodgers has major brownie points with me for taking us 2 seasons into Europe and that much delayed FA cup win but........

 

If he continues to with us in full knowledge he's leaving at the end of the season, something which the players possibly know leading to our demise, I would be furious 😠 

 

I was in the no vote to sacking him but if its the case he thinks its honorable to see us through till the end of the season he's very much mistaken. He needs to completely and publicly deny going to Utd at the end of the season or piss off now.

I think there has been more than a sense of entitlement among the fans attending. 
 

I recall how disappointing the atmosphere was in the Spurs game at the end of last season, and the reactionary booing this season as well.
 

That said, when your team has an expected goals of 0.00 in the first half and concede yet again another goal from a set piece, then you can fully understand the booing this time.

 

The reasons for our indifferent form are many and varied - the poor defending from set pieces, the number of injuries, in particular the psychological impact of Fofana’s injury, Rodgers making too many charges, the disappointing signings of Vestergaard and Bertrand, some players thinking they’ve reached their peak here leading to complacency, the number of contracts expiring in 2023 creating more uncertainty etc. 
 

What frustrates me more than anything is the woeful defending from set pieces. It cost us a CL spot last season and you’d have expected us to have focused on addressing this weakness, potentially bringing in a specialist set piece coach. Instead, we appear to be getting worse.
 

From what I’ve read, teams generally don’t like practising set pieces, and given Rodgers is more of a purist, preferring to beat teams through better play (as shown by his stubbornness vs West Ham), you can imagine him being reluctant to focus on them. But it’s costing him hugely and at least he acknowledged it as a problem today. Set pieces are about organisation, attitude and practice - all things that can be improved and managed much more easily than playing style. When Liverpool and Chelsea focus on set pieces so much, it beggars belief we haven’t done more to sort this. 
 

I’m a big fan of Rodgers but not sorting the set piece problem is raising big questions as it’s something that can be coached more easily than other parts of the game, 

...Klopp brought in an expert on throw ins, in order to maximise the team's output!!!

 If Klopp can see the importance of throw ins, then why can't we work on set pieces.

If Brendan wants to go then we shouldn't stand in his way, he has moved us forward, he has won silverware, and most importantly I only want a manager here who wants to be here, same as with players.

:appl:This.   Leicester will always be our Team, Managers and players come and go.

Clubs where the players know the manager is leaving at the end of the season generally doesn’t go well

 

Wanting BR to leave now will likely present us with the same problem as yanited because our target will probably not want to come until the summer 

 

Somehow this needs to be stamped on by the club and the coach - however, the coach won’t close the door on yanited and the club won’t close the door on a big compensation payday …..

Klopp can clearly accept that others are better able than him in certain areas 

I wonder if our manager thinks he knows best in all areas ……

I’d not be happy getting Lampard in to be honest, he’s not tactical whatsoever. Just look at the game we played Chelsea when he was in charge and review the post match interviews of Brendon and Frank, BR is quite obviously the better tactician.

 

That said yesterday was awful. I’m kind of hoping Utd come in for him and we’re forced to move for a replacement (not Lampard).

....the one big drawback to him going would be we get Ole..!!!

Money talks though.. if we want our new manager now we can pay up and bring him in.

I hope he does. It’s the basis of any successful person in a leadership position. Unfortunately, I don’t think he does.

I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping Man Utd would take Rodgers this week.  I think his time here is done. We would have got good money in compensation, which would come in handy when looking for another manager.   It's a bit like Ole for me, i dont see Rodgers turning us round, and it's a matter of when he goes not if, but now it's likely we will have to go on for a bit longer watching us get worse, playing mind numbingly boring football,  with a team showing no passion and no desire, before we bite the bullet, and have to give him a big wedge of money to get rid of ourselves.

Klopp lost the way last year with Liverpool but they didn't sack him. Now they are reaping the rewards.

 

 

Klopp has managed long term at the clubs he's been at. Rodgers has usually struggled after a couple of seasons and not been able to turn it around. A bit like Mourinho.

Weren't we set for an interim and then we got Rodgers? If they do want him, he'll know this is his chance and thst the end of the season and they're likely to look elsewhere if our form continues, he's starting to get questioned again after being flavour of the month for the last 2 years.
