Popular Post dmayne7 Posted 12 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 February 2022 Overachieved for the size of the club? Yes. Overachieved for the quality of playing personnel? Definitely not. Talking absolute rubbish as per usual. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club perhaps don't share his same public intentions. He did this at Liverpool and Celtic where he starts to put pressure on his superiors on backing him to deliver what he thinks is the route to all of our problems. Lose tomorrow the next 2 league games and he's mincemeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the “we were 5th twice before” logic, then shouldn’t we win the league or FA Cup every year? I am not excusing him, but those expectations coupled with injuries (we were extremely lucky to be in contention for 4th last year) are being ignored in the face of obvious contributing factors. Should he be doing better? Christ yes, and he must be able to get more from this team than we are seeing, but as with most things, the truth probably lies between these polarising viewpoint. No, and I didn't expect us to be in the position we were twice with a big lead over 5th. But we should be higher up the league and closer to the likes of Wolves with the quality of player we've got. Yes, he might be a victim of his own success or improvement but that's the nature of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re only 10th highest for possession this season. There’s only West Ham with less possession who you’d want to swap places with (currently) but they’re very similar in terms of amount of possession. Wolves too are similar but we’ve scored nearly twice the amount of goals. Stats from Who Scored. Sorry but if we aren’t a possession based team then what are we exactly? We have now had two consecutive managers, who want to pass the ball sideways between our centre backs then give it away in midfield. Hence why we haven’t created many chances, especially this season. It’s predictable and boring. In the Napoli away game, I lost count of the number of times they switched it to their opposite full back in acres of space. We had Castagne in acres so many times but what do we do? Pass it along the back to get it to him 4 passes later, in which time they’ve shuffled across to stop the threat. It is, in the main, a short passing possession based style we play Edited 13 February 2022 by lcfceaves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous crap runs saw us lose Champions League football. He only seems to be OK when things are going well. That FA Cup win has certainly masked a lot of cracks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a team in his image. It is his set-up, his way of playing, his way of coaching. The players generally do what is asked of them- that they seem unsuited to it, that it makes us vulnerable is unfortunately the result. Just not having it that the players are going against the manager's wishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scored two goals and missed other chances against the best side and best defence in Italy. That should have been enough to win, never mind get a point, but it wasn’t.

It’s predictable and boring ....the problem is we do not do it well!!! We do not have the players capable to play this way and it puts us in danger when we try to make it work. It always ends with a hurried kick down field by Kasper, and it would make sense if we played it there in the first instance instead of dicing around with the ball at the back. If you watch Dortmund, they do it so much better and have a player infront of the back three who is comfortable with the ball at his feet. You can play this way with confidence but you have to have the personnel to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chloe_77 Posted 12 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 February 2022 (edited) I’m sick of hearing Rodgers talk about a rebuild in the summer, and him currently using that as an excuse for poor form this season (i agree with plenty of the comments above about brendan using that as a last ditch attempt to push the people above him). Him talking about a rebuild in the summer, which is a fair few months away, isn’t helping anyone at the club right now. I just see it as a lame excuse from Rodgers currently. Yes a rebuild sounds exciting (new faces in the summer is necessary for any club), but i’d rather hear the manager tell us what we are going to do right NOW to solve our issues Edited 12 February 2022 by Chloe_77 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyC74 Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Rodgers can’t afford to look too far ahead to the end of the season and the rebuild. He needs to organise & shore up the defence so we stop giving teams a couple of goals head start and get some wins otherwise he is finished. I think there are some fans who think he already is and he will struggle to win them around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 They never mention Pereira when they trot out the long list of injured players. Out for a year with an ACL and subsequent knock-on injuries and then gets his leg broken by some Liverpool toe-rag. We really have missed him as much as any other player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTheFox Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Every manager sacking at Leicester over the past decade has been proven to be the correct decision (although Pearson in 2015 didn't feel like it) despite the same faces saying otherwise. What makes these people think that they know better than those running the club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are bottlers. They know we are crap but can't admit their mate isn't living up to his reputation. Even the arguments about budget = league position are toss, we have the 9th largest but are 7 points behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point do these so called fantastic pundits who are meant to be the masters of this game actually turn around and determine several years of sustained improvement is not a “lucky” overachievement bestow upon us by a number of “lucky” (not well thought apparently) managerial appointments. Not recruitment strategy and thoughtful planning. This is not lucky overachievement bestowed upon us by unlucky “great” managers we have the privilege of having but a board and back room staff who actually consider every aspect of the club to obtain such success ? Also, Merson not being able to pronounce Fofana’s name is insulting, borderline racist and ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
