Perhaps a change would work out but how confident are you that we would get the appointment right? we were passive again - the defence are heavily lacking in confidence - the natural reaction is to just look after your area and not take responsibility outside of your zone ……… when podence shot, there were two runners goal side of the CB’s so it’s not like they hadn’t got anyone to mark. The midfield were simply the wrong side - you could argue that wolves’ tactics had drawn us up the pitch to allow that to occur. The first goal is a first time shot - more difficult to close down - wilf is busy defending in the box - where are YT and KDH ? Yea that was the problem. Youri and KDH had both come to our right side podence gets the ball on the left and the back 4 had dropped to about 12-15 yards from our goal. He just had alot of space. They were pretty much all out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 20 February 2022 Share Posted 20 February 2022 Quick comment - many have said that things aren’t changing I haven’t seen us control games as we have the second half last week and today for some time If you control games then you win way more than you lose. We’ve seen that over that past two seasons. I didn’t see people questioning rodgers approach when we were averaging 2 points per game?? the league this season is indeed a write off . But we still have a chance of a euro trophy and to build momentum in the final few months of the league to take into next season. This will depend on getting some first choice players back fully fit and firing. I'm pretty sure that’s how the top brass see it although if there has been a bust up between rodgers and rudders then there’s likely to only be one winner come the summer as I don’t see rodgers as the type to swallow his pride ………. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you can't tell me that, that defence are listening to him?! Either they are and he's clueless or they are not and we have an even bigger problem. Perhaps they are listening to him, but they don’t have the ability to do what he wants? I’m sure that before the pre-season games started none of us thought that our best option CD partnership was going to be Big Dan and Cags in February, but that’s what cards we’ve been dealt through bad luck and self infliction.

Don't think it's unwarranted that after 2 successive seasons of European competition we'd expect to at least be challenging for those positions again.

You have the entire team from last season From that, Perez can go for me. Vardy and Evans need replacing (in preparation for their impending retirements) I can’t think of anyone else I’d get rid of from that squad. The summer signings, Daka might be ok. The jury’s still out on him for me. Vestegaard, Bertrand and less so Soumare don’t cut the mustard with me. But none of them were around when we finished 5th and won the Cup. I hardly think a major rebuilds required. We just need to replace the players Rodgers brought in in the summer essentially 😂 edit- I forgot Youri, who’ll be difficult to replace. I sometimes wonder though if a new manager would entice him to stay. Edited 20 February 2022 by The Year Of The Fox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that we will probably be losing two of our best players in the summer - we won’t be able to afford a straight youri replacement so we’ll have to change our shape and recruit players to fit that new approach.

Sly Posted 20 February 2022 Share Posted 20 February 2022 Joking aside, what’s it going to cost us to get rid of him? A 1/3 of what we receive for Youri if he won’t re-sign? Do we want to pay that much in compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all relative though mate Im not expecting us to be competing for PL title after PL title. That’ll never happen. But we shouldn’t be happy with this season just because we played League One football 15 years ago. And absolutely nothing points towards finishing 5th (twice) is overachieving 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve only got to think about our loss in revenue this season though and offset that against what sacking him would cost. Depreciation in players value as we’re performing terribly for example. Id actually see paying £20m to sack him as an investment in the clubs future. Especially if a new manager doesn’t demand a £100m rebuild in the summer too.

Mr Weller Posted 20 February 2022 Share Posted 20 February 2022 (edited) I know everyone is feeling low with our current form but I don’t think this is the moment of despair it appears to be. Our team lost its way because too many suffered a loss of direction after the cup win, only natural but no doubt compounded by the injuries. However this is temporary and if we can take heart, get Fofana back. and get a win or two sufficient confidence will return and next season will fell different.
