Right now, over the past 4 games, our defence ranks 20th. Bottom of the league. To be a pedant, this is from 19/20. But yes this says it all and makes a bit of a mockery of the injuries excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foxile5 Posted 9 December 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 9 December 2021 The really big problem is we've struggled and fought for the Europa League then treated it like a piece of shit the second we've gotten there.

Just not fun anymore…but I’ll still be down the King Power cheering us on as that’s what we do ...the Defensive Coach may not see things as the Manager, Rodgers has the final say!!! There is a balance that has to be struck, we could adopt and play a very defensive style and suffer upfront or we attempt to resolve this malaise. Just take a look at Bould v Wenger, the club decided to give Bould a bigger role in order to resolve a very porous Arsenal team. When Bould implemented his tactics, it stopped the rot but Arsenal went for sometime without scoring. Wenger then took back control as they were falling further and further behind.

tetly Posted 9 December 2021 Share Posted 9 December 2021 When he publicly said the club has over achieved he lost the players. It’s almost impossible to ask them to keep over achieving. His time may be coming to a end unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 9 December 2021 Share Posted 9 December 2021 (edited) I may be wrong but reading between the lines of his post match interview he mentioned "young players" not doing their jobs properly at set piece and defensive situations and I've linked that to Thomas being left out tonight and also Harvey letting his full back marker bomb forward and get crosses in at times recently making that flank a bit of a free tin can alley range at times for balls into our box. But if Bertrand gets picked on Sunday that will be the moment my respect for Brendan would turn, you cannot give shirts to players who have not put a shift in, it devalues the badge and devalues the club. However stretched we are I'd rather have Amartey, Campbell or Albrighton at RB. Castagne LB or Thomas back in, you cannot have a senior pro trotting casually into the box or playing people yards and yards onside (imagine the graphics guy being asked to draw those lines...."do we really need the lines, you could get a pair of buses in that space". Yes, Vestergaard looks shocking and struggles to run and turn but I presume that's never been in his skill set. Having the attitude of Bertrand tonight is inexcusable. As was not hooking him at half time. Brendan has been dealt an absolutely s**t hand of cards over and over for months now but you don't lower your standards by handing shirts to journeymen and accepting such a lack of desire. Picking him on Sunday will be accepting that. Edited 9 December 2021 by fazzyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
