LcFc_Smiv Posted 18 April 2022 Share Posted 18 April 2022 The stat doing the rounds on twitter that we have dropped 27points this season from winning positions is criminal. I don't deny he's gave us some great moments and I appreciate yesterday we were managing a tired squad but the general feeling to how we approach games and lack of intent is so disappointing. Apart from the recent palace performance and second half v PSV its like we're trying to win games but using the least amount of effort to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is trainable. Why isn't he on it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree - all the tactics and set up in the world can be undone very very quickly by lazy passes or silly mistakes. One thing Brendan is very good at is coaching and improving players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the recent palace performance and second half v PSV its like we're trying to win games but using the least amount of effort to do so. It's only relevant if it's a trend that can be seen in the previous two and a half seasons. So, is that the case? Have you dropped a similar about of points from winning positions in the other seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It progresses to the players. Albrighton laughing with lacuzzette start of the second half and we’re 1 down. That's just something you have to accept with Brendan Rodgers. He doesn't do animosity with the opposition. He doesn't see the games and opposition teams the way supporters see the games and opposition teams. He looks at opposing managers as "colleagues" rather than "the enemy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upturn in form since players started coming back from injury will be enough to keep him around until early next season at least. Big summer ahead and has to hit the ground running in the new season especially if we spend some money this summer. Depends on who/how many leave and the ability of who we buy. Are they a project? Hit the ground running? So many variables. All depends on communication between owners, administration etc. A managers job is dependent upon everyone else in the club doing theirs. Just like those of us who manage people and operations try as you might to control everything you can't. Big changes coming this summer. I can feel it.

A bottler would have shut up shop. It's just another in the long line of meaningless catch phrases people use on here to try and sound clever. Ok then, it was a further example of the tactical taciturnity exemplified by Rodgers’ sides, where valorous pluck was to be found in short measure.

His persona really hasn't changed that much in 10 years. The only thing that's changed is that he smartened up after Liverpool. More control over his interviews and how he releases info and anecdotes to the press. Less of a happy go lucky nice guy because the press/fans will only use it and turn it against you. Our loss really as he was so willing to teach fans the game with the occasional podcast, interview and article. Now the persona is of a no nonsense world class professional football manager. Saw it from his 1st Celtic interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKLFox Posted 18 April 2022 Share Posted 18 April 2022 (edited) It’s called sportsmanship and not being salty you don’t catch any rugby managers whinging they should have won whether they thought it or not and tbf a few football managers also Brendan being 1, he does it so not to come across a sour dick and also protects the Leicester name I’m sure Top would rather a bit of honour than being a bitter knob in an interview. Just makes me laugh at you saying he should be an arse in the interview yet you are the 1st slating Klopp, Pep and Frank when they come out with the tears. Will now post in the conspiracy thread Edited 18 April 2022 by BKLFox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People use it for anything. The game was boring, I've never seen more of a draw and Newcastle won the game because of our mistake not keeping the ball. Nothing to do with bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 18 April 2022 Share Posted 18 April 2022 My issue is not totally with the late goal, it is also the regular 25 minutes of nothing happening in the match. We could and should have forced the game. In the grand scheme of things it is a point lost in mid table but we need to offer more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a one off that game is excusable but it's slowly becoming the norm. Eventually that type of process is just ingrained. Defend a one nil win when we're capable of more. Then defend the draw because we've failed to defend the win. The real infuriating thing is that every fan in that ground knew we could have demolished them if required. Why were we holding back when we could have been punching for a respectable league finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
