We just don’t have the requisite depth. 28 minutes ago, Unabomber said: Mate the squad ain’t that good The squad IS that good. The likes of Vestergaard aren’t, no. But the squad is one of the strongest we’ve had in years I think. It’s just been woefully mismanaged by Rodgers, who’s covering his arse slagging them off and seemingly brainwashing some into thinking they’re not that good. Of course injuries have hampered us to say the least, but I lay a lot of that at Rodgers’ door too- training frequency/intensity and a somewhat ageing squad too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because it’s the only time in our history we’ve ever won it? The point raised was we were shit with Fofana - but we finished last season in the European places and with the FA cup - I thought last season was a huge success overall.

I would be shocked if anyone got them top 6 Again, I don’t think it is ‘for sure’ It was Rodgers’ remit to break into the Top 6 and to win a trophy. He’s done just that. Top doesn’t plough £100m into a new training ground to accept ‘overacievemt’ He wants this to be the new norm. It might be difficult for some of us fans to think that’s plausible given where we were in 2008, but this is what’s so good about Top and Vichai before him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could’ve possibly upgraded him then, really making a statement of intent of the clubs ambitions in the forthcoming years.

Aus Fox Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 18 minutes ago, Lesta2014 said: I struggle to believe that the loss of fofana has resulted in our struggles. Yes there’s knock effects but we simply haven’t played that way since the Villarreal game, we looked very good that night and I was excited for the season. It is the knock in effect though, this resulted in a panic buy of Vestergaard, then playing him before he was ready. The inability to drop/rest Soyuncu because Evans and Fofana were out. Adding Fofana’s injury to that of Evans, Ricardo, Castagne and Justin has meant in an inability to play even our second choice back 4 some games and no consistency in the back line, no partnerships built up. There’s no doubt if we have our strongest XI on the pitch we match anyone in this league. We haven’t seen anywhere near close to it this season and the squad behind the injuries is not nearly as good as some think it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have been realising we’re shite under Rodgers for 12 months or so, but I’ll let you have the 6. So managerial positions in any walk of life don’t go stale no? Rodgers isn’t well known for having an immediate impact on his new club, before fcuking things up the longer he’s in charge?

Spiritwalker Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 I’ve just checked the relegation odds and we’re not even listed, Brighton were the last team listed at 150-1. Maybe we’re panicking unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way I’d have my old football manager over Rodgers too. ANY manager other than Rodgers would be able to turn this dross around with immediate effect. Rodgers hasn’t been able to do it in months.

The time he needs is with his starting match day squad. Honestly I would join the choir if we were sat doing what we are doing with that starting squad but we are not and therefore I will give him some leeway.
