Nice logic, so Lewis Hamilton should always win even in a Skoda or with three wheels?  lol

No but you expect that when you’re paying elite level wages that basic and fundamental flaws in the teams play can be addressed and fixed.

He annoys me with some of his decisions but I'd rather judge after he has fielded a team like this again - only 2 fully fit from what I would reckon our best starting 11 - with a 2nd team, staying in mid table will be an achievement 

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Evans

Fofana

Soyoncu

Justin

 

N'Didi

Tielemans

Maddison

Barnes

 

Vardy

....very good to have a full team back together, but aside of JJ we have had these players available in the last few seasons and have crumbled for long periods!!!

The inability to use a settled pairings throughout the departments has contributed to our woes, but our approach to games and mentality is a bigger contributory factor in our current demise.

Let's put that one into context. 

Newcastle are one of those clubs and have not been able to spend any money from their new ownership. 

Everton l, also one of those clubs have spent millions on dross and now have issues with financial fair play. 

Aston Villa were promoted not long ago with a very thin squad so had to spend millions just to have a chance of staying up. They are now sat alongside us in the table. 

Wolves for me have a good squad but I'd still rather have our's. 

 

I am growing frustrated with Rodgers but aslong as we are mid-table and there is no chance of us going down then I think I am just about willing to accept this season as a write-off and review the situation in the summer. 

....we could end up writing off next season as well, by the time we have started next season, it might be too late to effectively change the course of our ability to potentially challenge for European places!!!

  Wishing for something to happen to stop this slide is effectively burying ones head.

There needs to be positive signs of a recovery and a vision throughout the club as to what we can achieve and how to go about doing so. That plan will have to be seen to be operating before the end of this season,,...

LEICESTER CITY boss Brendan Rodgers has been named among the world's best managers by football magazine Four Four Two.

Co. Antrim native Rodgers, 48, was the only manager from the island of Ireland to be included on the 50-man list.

The former Celtic boss was ranked 24th on the list, which was topped by Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

 

'HE OUTWITS THE BEST'

 

Describing Rodgers as "one of the elite", the magazine praised Rodgers' versatility and man-management skills.

"Brendan Rodgers is now one of the elite, it's more than fair to say. He outwits the best,” read the article.

"He's developed the likes of James Justin and Jamie Vardy — at opposite ends of their careers.

"He can coach his sides in three- and four-at-the-back shapes, bending his attack between one or two prongs.

"He can cope without big stars. He can refashion full-backs on either side.

"Every season, it seems, we see something from the Carnlough Clough that we've never seen him do before — even if Leicester have underwhelmed this term.

"There are those that may never truly believe their eyes when it comes to Big Brendan's talents."

 

CELTIC SUCCESS
Rodgers won seven trophies out of seven at Celtic, which comprised the first two of four consecutive trebles.

He left the club in February 2019 to return to England, where he had previously won the Championship playoffs with Swansea City in 2010/11 and guided Liverpool to second place in the Premier League in 2013/14.

Last season he led Leicester City to their first FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the final.

In August, the Foxes won their second Community Shield, defeating Premier League champions Manchester City 1-0.

Leicester were 11th when Rodgers took over, however he has led them to consecutive fifth place finishes in his two full seasons in charge.

Despite struggling somewhat this season with Leicester in 10th place, he is among the favourites to succeed interim manager Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United next season.

Expectations from fans like yourself is the reason why our fanbase is the way it is today, a joke. Totally unrealistic and harshly judged, this sort of following creates a that shit atmosphere and booing we have witnessed this year. I wont list the issues the club had had this year, but i can say its no fault of the manager. You need a bit of luck in this sport and weve not been dealt with any thanks to covid/injuries. k thanks happy new year.

A bad injury is bad luck, of course, take Fofona for example but we have the same injuries cropping up time and time again. Different players with the same hamstring injuries, plus reoccurring injuries, has a lot more to do with than just "luck". It is an obvious issue we have at the club; something's not right.

I'm guessing these things are year by year, in which case even the biggest Rodgers critic cannot disagree. We've won the FA Cup, Community Shield and finished top 6 this year.

It's unanimously agreed on here that we have the best squad we've ever had with a manager who's paid Champions League salary, and some of the greatest training facilities in world football and we're expanding our stadium,.... Yet we're supposed to have the expectations of Aston Villa and Brighton.

Maybe worth pointing out that since September 2020 only two teams have scored 3 or more goals against Man City. 

RB Leibzig once in a 6-3 win for Man City

And fvcking US!! Lestah fvcking twice 6-3 and our 5-2 win.

Against Pep. Pep Guadiolia the barca guy. Rodgers is a genius working with half his players available, in one of the worst covid hit areas of the country.

He'll win everything with Man U if he goes there, make Maguire look amazing and we'll all be crying.

People were saying how good our squad was prior to the season starting.... now we're not performing apparently it's not actually that good of a squad.

It's what they are being asked to do.

As I posted above

"we are not man city... we do not have the quality of squad to play posession football as per rodgers dreams. Rangnick was being goaded by reporters about his high press ideas and Ronaldo's role.... he said that a manager has to find a style of play to suit the players available... not the other way around.  This is Brendan's mistake."

Credit where it's due - spot on tonight with the tactical changes. If we are going to give him shit when it goes wrong, he deserves the praise when it goes right

Swallowed a lot of his pride tonight I thought. I imagine it was due to circumstance but he’s clever enough to exploit things to his advantage. No way he can go back to zonal marking after that.

Deserved the win for how we set up and the subs today. 

 

Happy for him considering we were all expecting a hammering, more so after Sunday. 

 

Brilliant from him as no doubt he's clearly still got the players playing for him and for giving them the belief to go out today and get they victory.
