Every team starts getting deeper in the last 10 minutes when they're holding on to a 1 goal lead against a side who are perceived to be bigger than them or are outright better than them. But it's time and time and time again, take off your attackers, stick on defenders, backs to the wall for half an hour to cling on to the 2 goal lead, rather than just carry on doing what got you that 2 goal lead until 80-85 minutes. It's such a negative way to be both tactically and mentally. Yes at the minute with the decimation of the squad you can forgive it but it happens when everyone is fit and we're 2 0 up at home against relegation fodder. Often it works (f.a cup final most notably) but sometimes it doesn't and when it doesn't it looks meek, spineless and tactically inept. We only ever kill teams off when everything absolutely clicks from the off and we put a hatful past teams. We've come from behind and held on as well. He's not a one trick pony manager but he is a 1 trick pony manager when it comes to being 1-2 goals up with 30 minutes to go and I'm getting fed up of knowing with half an hour left against Norwich, being 1-0 up, off comes barnes and on goes vestergaad (random made up example) here we go. What the hell is going on. Without following the game today would I be right to think this is almost exactly what happened once again? Getting a bit fed up of it now.

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 23 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 January 2022 I'm done. I'm fed up of him doing this. It's not the first time he's reactively done what he SHOULD have done in a previous game too late in the next game and fvcked both. Should have shut up shop at the end versus spurs. Didn't. Lost. So over reacts 20 minutes too early in this game to try and shut up shop. Fvcks it. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastAnglianFox Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 I think its his time, he just cannot change it and he's had enough time. Worry is his feet are so firmly under the table with the powers that be that I think we are stuck for the foreseeable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGibbo Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 (edited) Rodgers even giving the courtesy to the mighty Brighton now. Has to beg the question where, in his mind, do we belong? Edited 23 January 2022 by BigGibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kopfkino Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 Conflicted today. I absolutely hate this matching them up as soon as they change it and then basically just trying to see it out. We can’t do it and it’s grim On the other hand, I don’t believe it would have been any different had we not. The lack of the counterfactual makes it super easy for armchairers to criticise. We were already struggling before he changed it and by the end we just looked spent. The difference in physicality to the opposition in the last two games has been stark.

jmono84 Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 That second half was terrible. I thought he knew about tactics! That was a bog standard, in fact amateur tactical move to do what he did. Pathetic and inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 I’m not here to defend brendans decision, because clearly it was the wrong one. But he wasn’t trying to set up shop, he was trying to match Brighton’s system.... which was the wrong thing to do as they are effective In it... we are not. but he didn’t do it to be defensive... he just wanted man for man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 3 hours ago, FoxyJim1987 said: It's just realism and actually some fans should listen to him and take heed. We ain't a top 6 team we have over achieved massively since the he took over, and this season with the amount of injuries, half way up ain't bad. Tielemans is not going to sign he would have done by now. Just bringing this up after the game because I thought it was horseshit even before what I’ve just seen. If you’re buying Rodgers’ blatant arse covering tactics while watching him self capitulate every game I feel very sorry for you. The comments before the game are unacceptable even with full context. He’s arrogant and not learning and using our ‘club size’ as a reason to blame. Either we have a fire sale this summer or he goes but this current crop and manager are not a good fit for us. Especially at his pay grade and our facilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special-K Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 Teams tend to mirror their manager, weak as p1ss, **** off Rodgers or take a pay cut if our level is mid table. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus give him some slack - we’ve a weakened squad playing loads of games. Key players have played themselves out of form and are shattered - that’s a major problem.

Changing the system cost us the points, no question about that, but our hand is forced with so many injuries and players just coming back. Let's be honest we are at the point where we just need to get through the season and rebuild / recoup in the summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 23 January 2022 Share Posted 23 January 2022 These post match meltdowns have become a tad predictable and frankly a bit boring.
