jayfox26 Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 I don't think I've ever seen a manager spiral so badly and quickly as Rodgers has. He's always been a good manager, did well with Swansea, unfortunate not to win the league with Liverpool before it went a bit bad there for him, then did really well at celtic, which we know wasn't too difficult as Rangers weren't a threat for the majority of his time there. Came here and started really well and the football was good and exciting. The 2 end of season collapses were poor but the 2 season on a whole including the fa Cup win were excellent. And this season has been a complete shit show from the off and doesn't show any signs of improving. Poor transfers, poor tactics, defensive shambles (especially from set pieces), poor subs. This isn't just down to the injuries, when you have injuries, your players should still be able to do the basics right. Incredible slide and loss of form that doesn't seem like ending. Of course we could go on a run and end up in the top 6/7 with our games in hand. Or the slump continues and we are dragged into the relegation battle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything all you will have to do is press us, we can't play our way out, make far too many errors from defenders and Goal Keeper. An inability to pass between the lines from the back, midfielders unable to take the ball under pressure and facing their own goal. You do not have to keep lobbing balls into our box for success, even that becomes one dimensional and predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All most of us want is for our team to do well and if they lose at least try their best and have a go. Neither of which are happening at the minute.

If I was a manager against leicester I'd be telling my players to high press and put the defenders under pressure and force mistakes. The mistakes will either lead direct to a goal or lead to us conceding a corner which in turn will lead to us conceding a goal. Teams can high press us more now as they don't have peak Vardy to worry about anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve not played good football for the whole season save for a few high profile exceptions. No one wants the team to lose. A fair few want the inevitable change rather than another false dawn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After two 5th place finishes and an FA cup win I think most people would love for Rodgers to be the one to turn it around. The issue for most is whether he actually has the ability to do that.

Popular Post foxinsocks Posted 13 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 February 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Fox92 said: I don't think he's ever blamed anybody but himself. Only recently has he criticised the players publicly. But he can't win because when he doesn't criticise the players people moan about him not "being honest". But when he does criticise the players, the same people moan that "he's deflecting the blame". Of course he's manager, so naturally it is his fault, but players do take blame also because a lot of them have not been good enough and/or consistent enough. They need to look at themselves too. For example, we switch to man marking when defending corners but we still concede because Ndidi loses Van Dijk and that's nobody's fault but Nidid's. It's injuries, it's a small squad, 5th is good, the squad need rebuilding, it's a lack if hunger in the team It's never that he got the selection wrong, that the tactics are wrong, he hasn't build psychological strength, that the subs were wrong, that the subs were late, that last summer's recruitment was hopeless, that his coaching misses out sorting out defending of corners, that his teams are muscled out (re prague twice, and villa in the league cup semi). Its always some other issue where he is not to blame. Edited 13 February 2022 by foxinsocks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is the right manager to come in, it might be Time to change. If he went now, history would suggest he wasone of our best ever managers. Agree... he isn't bad. . Hes just got some gaps.... a lack of reality and sn inability to accept responsibility . All managers have them... getting out of denial is the key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always some other issue where he is not to blame. To be fair the recruitment and set pieces are bang on. They stunk. But, at the time we all thought Soumare and Daka were great signings, and Lestergaard was welcomed as a very good addition and given a hero's welcome against man city where ironically he had his best game ( his only good game) I think the defensive options being depleted so much for so long have not helped the set piece defending either but that is on Rodgers. I just don't think he deserves the hounding out just yet. If we lose the next 2 or 3 and are just above the drop zone then it's probably good night.
