foxile5 Posted 22 November 2021 Share Posted 22 November 2021 4 minutes ago, Ricey said: Rodgers got very spiky when asked about why he played a back three on Saturday and he rather patronisingly said that if we had played a back four it would have been a long afternoon (as if it wasn’t anyway). Just listened to the Totally Football Show and they mentioned an interesting stat; Against back threes this season Chelsea have won all 6 of their games and not conceded a goal. All their dropped points have been against back fours. He was terrifically rude and myopic with it. Said we'd have had a bad afternoon with a back four which carries the implication that he thought Saturday to be a good afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it definitely can’t wash with anyone now. Rennie’s departure is too much of a coincidence to have no relevance at all with all these injuries. I'm just theorising, but perhaps Rennie questioned the effect Rodgers' intense training methods would have on the squad, so Rodgers removed him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan set that side up so we didn't get completely blown away 5 or 6 nil. Don't think he had any interest in winning the game.

An Sionnach Posted 22 November 2021 Share Posted 22 November 2021 (edited) Can somebody tell me ,what exactly does Chris Davies do? If Rodgers had a highly respected ex pro as his assistant instead of somebody who has barely played football it might make a motivational difference . How about Wes for instance?

It’s a good theory Had this argument many times with mates from at least the beginning of this year. In their eyes Bodgers could never do anything wrong and the injuries definitely had no correlation to Rennie leaving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one poster pointed out - Chelsea have been dropping points against teams with a back 4. Suggesting that would have been worse than what we saw is at best misguided. The problem is that his pride over his self perception trumped any progressive thinking and he became rude when challenged.

I can think of two big ones from Kasper, hitting it against Ndidi ass at Bournemouth and punching it into his owe net against Spurs They are as much to blame as the manager when it goes wrong as to be praised when it goes right. And Kasper passing it to the Chelsea player on Saturday (Hudson -Odoi?) to take a pot shot at goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems arrogant enough to believe that anyone who questions him is wrong, and it is a head physio's role to advise on such matters. Maybe Rodgers just wanted a yes-man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 22 November 2021 Share Posted 22 November 2021 5 hours ago, Scotch said: In Brendan Rodgers first interview as Leicester boss, he said this... "The expectancy here is to be challenging for a European place and to win a trophy. That has to be the expectations". So to hear him come out and say that we have "overachieved" in his time here is a stretch given that we have achieved exactly what he laid out as our goals under him as manager. You can't say "this is what we want to achieve", do exactly that and then as soon as the pressure is on turn around and say "well I've delivered more than what was expected". to say that we have overachieved can also be a very dangerous message to send to the players about what standard of play is acceptable.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of idiots... You do realise that Rodgers had these same problems at Reading and Liverpool, don't you? Occam's razor suggests that it's likely to be the common denominator at fault.

We’ve had 2 ACLs and a leg break What about the recurring injuries for almost every squad player we’ve got? You can’t conveniently overlook them because it’s criticising Rodgers. The buck stops with him, just how it stopped with Klopp when he was blaming all and sundry but himself last season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. The message, regardless of where we are in the league and how well we are doing should be "well that was a great achievement but that's done, what about now?" And that goes for everything in all aspects.... "last season was great, what about this one?", "you were great in the last match, how you going to improve in the next one?" "Great goal/assist.... you going to give us another?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
