My Tounge was firmly in cheek mate. but while we are talking about embarrassing posts do you remember saying that having all our players back will make no difference to results? How much of a diffence did you think having Fofana back made on Thursday out of interest? Edited 19 March 2022 by The whole world smiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not, because its based on the underlying statistics of our season which indicate structural weakness. There's that use of selective data again.

Then in that case the fact Fofana scored, won man of the match and we went through would suggest having him back made a difference isn't hypothetical either it's very much based on the actual reality of Thursday night! Look this squabble is going to be boring other posters now, and I don't want to waste my Saturday night arguing with someone who actively bets against his own club so I'll leave it there.

Look this squabble is going to be boring other posters now, and I don't want to waste my Saturday night arguing with someone who actively bets against his own club so I'll leave it there. Up the city. You're going to pretend that you thought it was Fofana's goals we were missing? Would be odd given that was his first for the club. I agree, clearly there are two points of contention on which we'll have to agree to disagree. And I don't think you appreciate that I would be happy to be proven wrong. If the pattern of the last 2 years dissipates and we have everyone back, are a markedly better side because of it, and put it all behind us, then great. I just have my doubts that either will happen and I think the manager is at least partly responsible for that, and that's the basis on which I've criticised him. I didn't say I put the bet on, I said it was good value. And even if I had, the interpretation that that would mean I wanted Rennes to win is yours and yours alone.

Popular Post majaco Posted 20 March 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 20 March 2022 We won. Despite missing some big players, we set up well. The management of returning players is being thoughtfully done. We have taken 9 points from the last 5 games. We are now able to choose from four full backs and five centre backs. There are a lot of negative comments about Rodgers in the Brentford post-match thread that don't seem to take into account a victory. I enjoyed watching us today. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinowe Soorie Posted 20 March 2022 Share Posted 20 March 2022 We seem to have spells in the games, where we are put under enormous pressure. Better teams will finish us off.

One result doesn’t change that. As a fan base, I don’t think there has been a vocal chant of Brendan out or similar ilk. Brendan has been and will continue to be scrutinised for shortcomings which any manager would be questioned for. I think in person fans have been relatively patient given some of the disasters.

How have you taken from that entire post that judgement either way should be on one game ? In fact, you’re criticising reference to “one game doesn’t change that” and then in the very next sentence criticise those who don’t take that approach. I don’t even know what you are arguing. I swear some of these mandem have daddy issues with the aggression they put out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 20 March 2022 Share Posted 20 March 2022 Fair play to him I, like many others questioned his ability to turn things around when it looked like we were on a serious slide. However, surely now we have moved from seeing “green shoots”, to a veritable upturn in performance and results. We’re not the complete package yet in terms of performing as well as we have in the past couple of years but we are getting back to “our level” as Rodgers would call it. The season isn’t over, and ultimately come the end of the season we will end up with what we deserve league position and trophy wise. If we can finish the season strongly, Rodgers will have proved that he, is, capable of halting the slide and turning things around. Which potentially sets the ground work for hopefully another productive season next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we don't help ourselves sometimes but momentum changes throughout games for many reasons, physical and mental - it isn't always possible for the manager to address it immediately or successfully - that's why other teams score in games, or why they equalise. it's part of football. we're not going to keep any other premier league outfit under full pressure for 90 minutes - someone show me a team who does?
