Pure confirmation bias where no matter what happens now, there’ll be something to find to beat Brendan with no matter the merits If you bring on a defender for a midfielder the whole structure of your team changes. They didn’t look like scoring, it was stupid - and I have always supported Rodgers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watched the game but were West Ham even looking like scoring before the lazy giant was brought on?! They huffed and puffed but we pretty much kept them at arms length in the second half. Vestergaard was brought on and we changed shape entirely to accommodate him and we conceded from a corner amidst the confusion and pressure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be different if he headed it onto that part of his arm or hadn't directly led to the goal but to out it straight in with his arm is wrong and shouldn't count Rules are rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a goal line clearing header you then say Rodgers is a genius Yes thats true but he didnt make a goal line clearing header, he stayed rooted to the ground whilst the attacker jumped and won the ball and scored.

Pure confirmation bias where no matter what happens now, there’ll be something to find to beat Brendan with no matter the merits What cost us is having us sit off for 20 minutes and deciding to defend.our 18 yard box for the last 10. Taking off a midfield body for a cb do 'see out' the last 4 minutes against a team that play for crosses into the giant players they have. No matter what way you spin it. It was garbage management. It's pure bias to suggest he didn't get it wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manini Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Can’t see him being sacked after a draw, unfortunately. Points might be vital come the end of the season but this bloke has got to go. Absolutely brain dead decision making again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it did cost us because Youri would have been in midfield to close them down and stop the build up leading to the corner. Youri could have also helped control the midfield for the last 7 minutes and seen the game out. Another terrible decision from Brendan which has cost us points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Every time he gets advice from That geography teacher looking **** at the end of a game we make a shit sub and concede. If Rodgers genuinely thinks it isn’t his fault then he needs to get better people around him! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the substitution invited them to attack and us to defend and our defence is currently our weakest suit. Unnecessary and I guarantee we don't drop back deep enough for that goal to happen without that change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 13 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 February 2022 That was tactically inept. The weakest part of our game is defending. So keep playing and retaining the ball with your midfield general. No justification for taking our game manager off for a lad who has proven to offer nothing in the defensive stakes.

What do you see in him? My only reservation in sacking him before the post match interview would be how much it will cost, but keeping him rather than bringing in a football manager will cost us players. Ndidi, Maddison, Ricardo, Barnes-are they really going to hang around in the summer to be coached like this? Let’s get some tactical nous in, get some good feelings going among our still excellent squad (easy to forget I know) and get people wanting to play here next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 Just once I would love someone in the media to ask him why he continues to make that sub when it's clear it doesn't work. It either cost us or nearly cost us so many games in the last few years, it's a joke. Very nearly cost us the FA Cup final, bringing on an extra centre back to see it out. He hasn't learnt it doesn't work and I don't think he ever will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but what kind of message does that change send out to the players after a half where they've played some of their best in ages? The shape was working and we were limiting their chances, why then change that shape to make room for someone who is objectively the worst defender/player we have in the squad? Even more, he's made similar changes recently and they've resulted in the same capitulations. He just does not learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
