For all we know we tried, but there was 0 news of anything about a loan or move at all for him which suggests either wanted to keep him (I doubt) or there just wasn't any interest in him (which I suspect was the case) Did we? Why did we set up so poorly in Poland then? And at home to Spartak.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence against Legia was Castagne, Amartey, Vestergaard, Soyuncu, Thomas - the strongest we could put out The line up against Spartak should have been more than good enough to beat them but our ability in the final 3rd was horrendous Benkovic would not have improved either line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least then we could go ah fair enough he isn't quite good enough But multiple managers have seen him and thought that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said I'm not Rodgers out or anything I just think we've definitely had chances to at least give him a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally just said personel wasn't the issue it was the tactics?

HighPeakFox Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 I'm sure you all know my point - even if we want him sacked, it's a stupid thing to do without a viable, sensible, progressive option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Fresh Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 Why would giving a squad player game time be pointless? Let's him have a look at him in a competitive game and get some sharpness if we desperately needed him. I'm not asking for him to become first choice or even be a regular on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait all you like, it isn’t our job to scout for talented young managers who would be a good fit for us, it’s the club’s.
