All it does is create gossip amongst the fans as to who he means. He's also probably alienating those players further and other members of the squad who are close with those in question. I still haven't heard him hold himself accountable for today. Edited 7 February 2022 by Tommy Fresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this at least shows he’s not going to stand for these type of performances Does it? Or is he just shifting the blame to buy himself time? Why has it taken him so long to call them out?

Buzzell Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 Just now, Ric Flair said: Fascinating comments. The side that started today contains several players he's been waffling on and on about being desperate to get back in Justin, Ndidi and Iheanacho. So who are the players he's throwing under the bus here? Soyuncu and Amartey definitely. Barnes, hauled at half time. Tielemans? Maddison? Thomas? We will probably get an idea from his next team selection I would of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very risky tactic, rarely end well, or he knows either he's gone at end of season or those players are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You complained when he wasnt and you still complain when he is. Missing the point he won’t ever admit he may have got his tactics wrong and he is responsible for selecting some players that he now says aren’t putting it all in …… he knows this before today getting the player’s mental state right is his job too ….

Tomek Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 If he keeps that anger with him and sticks to what he said, he might just stand a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 yet he dropped our most committed and inform midfielder and made one who is clearly leaving in a few months captain, if they have that attitude its because HE has allowed it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 Makes me laugh that he's digging out a player who he made captain for a massive game. ****ing idiot can't really be that short sighted surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fires them up for Liverpool or some of them down tools. Very risky tactic. He clearly thinks they already have, not sure digging players out to the media will make them think twice.

Tielemans63 Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 Definitely Soyuncu and Tielemans. Poss Ndidi and maybe Iheanacho as well. Message to Kasper too? Thought it was odd he didn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure he has the authority with the players to get away with saying it? It's a big call. He's right about the physicality, but that's been an issue for a couple of years now. Credit to him if he's up for rebuilding the side. I'm not sure how confident I am in him being successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You complained when he wasnt and you still complain when he is. Absolutely, he's hurting and it's high time he was honest. He's every bit to blame as well though. The interviewer had it right by asking if the end of the chapter was for him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesfan98 Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 Brendan's comments about some players achieving all they can at the club are the most baffling I've heard from a manager as a Leicester fan. Most of our squad are young players who have already shown that they can step up to this level. He's essentially just told them they're shit and doesn't want them anymore so why should they play for him for the rest of the season? They may not have the strongest mentality but how can he have the audacity to question them when he's making strange tactical decisions and subs that make no sense. Second half today we needed to get bodies forward and pin them back (which we have the players to do) and he switches to 5 at the back with Lookman at wing back and Thomas in a back 3. I spent the first ten minutes of the half trying to figure it out and it looked like the players were doing the same. How can they improve or be motivated if they're constantly being played out of position and being moved around? We have an excellent squad if it's used properly but just feels like Rodgers is getting desperate and changing things for the sake of it and has been for 2 years.

Can't moan about physicality and leave out probably our two most physical midfielders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 9 minutes ago, buzzer_b said: Makes me wonder whether he’s talking about Tielemans also? So why would you make him captain and select him over someone like KDH. If this is the case then the Manager is much of the problem as the so called players who want out and continue to be selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 I hope he's not talking about Barnes because he was actually doing alright today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cropwellfox Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 4 minutes ago, Chocolate Teapot said: Soyuncu. Tielemans. Barnes. Think so too. He called out JJ and Wilf as the two putting a shift in. Maybe Amartey and Nacho as well on his shit list. Problem is he’s going to struggle to leave all of them out with the state we are in at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say not quite sure who else that started the match that should've been given the armband instead, none of them really seem like "captain" material either Not saying I think Youri should've been given it, but I imagine it was Youri because he is part of the leadership group?

Shane Posted 6 February 2022 Share Posted 6 February 2022 It doesn't matter if what Brendan is saying about the players is true, it's disingenuous because his main aim is to protect his own reputation. He doesn't care who gets thrown under the bus as long as it isn't himself. I just hope our owners don't fall for his tripe like some of our fans are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes looks good attacking- but his end product has been poor this season to say the least. Keeps loosing possession and rarely tracked back to help Thomas (who was clearly struggling) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
