How do you know it wasn't a migraine or sudden sickness? One accidentally glare into a bright light and I'm out of action with migraine for a few hours!

sm1 Posted 22 February 2022 Share Posted 22 February 2022 If Rodgers cant arrest out poor form before the end of the season, he'll be gone. If you look at our PL form in the last 12 months, we've won 14 of our 38 games, losing 16, going from being 2pts off 2nd spot to being 11th.

Reg Vardy Posted 23 February 2022 Share Posted 23 February 2022 Injuries are what they are, and are treated by medics, who then advise Rogers, that’s how it is, and that’s how it should be….as for Maddison coming off after 20 minutes, It’s safe to assume he felt well enough when he went on, then felt worse as he played, then he came off. What’s the solution? Keep playing, (poorly-in every way) and get slated on here? Prior to his recent fine spell of form, it wasn’t that long ago he was getting pilloried on here….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a massive risk seeing some of his absolute shockers he has bought already to the club. I’d prefer a new manager to do the rebuild. I think a lot of people miss the point that on paper most our signings were solid. He came into the club when we had a good core squad and only really added depth and experience off the back of missing out on top 4 in his first full season. Castagne and Fofana were the only “first XI” signings after losing Maguire (who we never replaced under Puel) and Chilwell. Arguably his best signings too.

There's been plenty and I mean PLENTY of flags of players being in the red zone and they still play and play, Rodgers has pretty much admitted it last season. Look at Vardy staying on whilst injured 2 games in a week vs Liverpool and ultimately being out for 3 months. Look at Justin out for a year and then bang, 3 starts in a week and now injured again. There's a culture here that's exacerbating it and I can almost understand when there's 3 games a week constantly and such demand on a small squad but we're often picking up injuries between the press conference and the games themselves in training and its a real head scratcher. Rodgers training is full on almost every session so that when it comes to the games the process is autonomous from the players but to what cost to their fitness? He's got to break the cycle to allow his squad to recover, he can't use the amount of games in recent months as an excuse because we had a very light schedule due to all the postponements. This season is pretty much done except for bits and pieces, simplify the training to protect them and see if that will help them. Its no coincidence the 2015/16 squad seldom got injuries and that was in large to Paul Balsom and Ranieri opting to stick with Pearson's methods of only training a few times a week and that was without the demands of 3 games a week for many weeks. Whatever is happening he's got to change it up, otherwise its insanity and might as well get Mick Philpott out on day release to manage us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard because Rodgers made the concerns known and said he wanted him sacked but then refused to do it himself after rudkin refused too as well.

We ran Tierney, Forrest and McGregor into the ground under Rodgers, pretty sure all three were among the top 5 in terms of minutes played in a single season three seasons in a row. Tierney and Forrest have been pretty much maligned with injuries since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoN jumping on the bandwagon for no real reason, rather than giving his honest opinion. I think the unfortunate thing is to Martin (and the other pundits) it is an honest opinion! However, its derived from a lazy approach. Not one intelligent person can sit there and watch 50% of us this year and suggest that the pressure on Brendan is a result of 2016 heightened expectations or entitlement. I don't think most of them who offer this sort of opinion actually watch us much. I think you've got to be incredibly daft to suggest the uproar from the games against Forest, Spurs etc. is down to an unreasonable benchmark or entitlement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep is the highest paid manager in the league, won the league 3 league times out of 5, so when he doesn't win the league do you think he's a failure and Man City should sack him? In addition to the fact he's still not won the Champions League there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you decide that you want to be more than a coach, which Rodgers clearly, very clearly has done. Then he needs to be judged on all aspects of his role, not just results on the pitch. I fancy Man City fans are generally very happy with how Pep is doing overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple injuries here and there is acceptable, all managers face, but constant injuries isn't just "bad luck", But I don't really agree using a wage as a measure because half the managers in the league would be sacked probably. It's not Rodgers fault we offered him 10m a year, or whatever people constantly quote, he ain't gonna reject it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick Posted 23 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 February 2022 Get Fofana, JJ, Vardy back which will help Barnes and Madders fire and I reckon Brendan will start looking like a pretty solid option again to most people. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
