An Away Move Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 Tielemans caused the loss. Utterly stupid pass. I’m sure he apologised to his team mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at the end of last season we had the same problem. 30 second away form beating Liverpool and Spurs back to back with a patched up side. If he’d have spent £15 million pounds more wisely that back 4 might not have been as patched up clearly trying to compensate. The time for excuses are past, these performances are far too regular under Rodgers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t legislate for that as a manager, it’s ass dropping of the highest order. If I was him I’d be up all night trying to work out what the **** has happened there, it would and probably will send me absolutely crazy. You absolutely can legislate for that. The shape was ridiculous. They didn't deserve to win because of two late goals they deserve to win because they battered us for ninety before hand. Playing a back three was fvcking retarded against a side whose main threat was a deep lying striker coming deep to pick up the ball. But doing it all game when you've got a defensive ball winning midfielder forced out of position in to that back five is so stupid it's hilarious. The entire pattern of the game was Kane dropping in to space that we didn't have a defensive midfielder in and causing havoc. And the answer was right in front of him the whole time - JUST PLAY THE PLAYERS IN THEIR NATURAL POSITIONS. After fifteen minutes of the game, Hamza should have been told to go and sit on Kane for the rest of the match and they wouldn't have had a sniff. Honestly one of the worst tactical displays I've ever seen from a Leicester manager on the night. I'm absolutely baffled and massively frustrated. Yes the players collapsed but where was the direction coming from the bench. Why was he not screaming from the touchline for them to hold shape and stay calm. Instead they're running up trying to score a third in the 92nd minute. If that was the other way around Conte would have been screaming blue murder from the touchline. Absolutely fvcking inept tonight and I say that as someone that's largely been a Rodgers fan from day one.

Manini Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 Not having it Finners sorry. No arguing from me in terms of the better side won, by hook or by crook though, somehow, the game was managed and we were 2-1 up with 5 minutes after 90 played. It’s complete headloss from individuals on the pitch that have gifted spurs the opportunity to pinch it. We were shit, it was all wrong for the majority of the game but somehow we’d scraped to the point of having the game won bar the shouting, then they’ve completely switched off.

We’ve seen it for ages - the physical and mental weakness of a team who just seem to cave when put under lots of pressure. There’s no point keep saying it though. Until it’s properly addressed, we’ll just see more of it. ‘Rodgers teams play some pretty football. But the Premiership is also about strength. It’s not only ability. We are weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMELcfc Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 For a change I’m not just blaming him. There were 11 professional footballers out there who yet somehow have no idea how to manage a game. Yes Brendan is the manager and buck stops with him, but those players tonight were pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly agree actually. I think Hamza's problem is he's got no defensive, positional brain. He just wants to charge after everything. I think if you specifically gave him the job of doing a Pontus Kamark to Kane he'd have had Kane in his pocket. He's fitted than Kane, faster than Kane and nastier than Kane. But most importantly he wouldn't have to think. He just has to watch and follow. It takes all of the decision making out of defending. But above all else he should have been in that pocket in front of the centre backs, not being one of them.

Ted Maul Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 The buck stops with the manager and he simply doesn't help himself. If you're too limited to play out from the back without giving it away on the edge of your own box twice a game, stop doing it. If your defence is too slow to play a high line, don't play a high line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KrefelderFox666 Posted 19 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 19 January 2022 He has made mistakes this season but tonight I was gutted for him. Some players really let him down at the end. Would like to see him drop Tielemans on Sunday to have a good think. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
