Prices are likely to rise at matches. There's going to be a lot more scrutiny on the level of entertainment served up. I think many on the back of this drab season will be making decisions or demanding more for their time and money. Rodgers has to provide more. Yeah. We will not sell 40k home tickets to watch this every fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro semi (albeit the auto glass one) and I think the loss of 4th twice in a row still leaves a scar, but personally, it still feels optimistic. Another season like this, may feel different.

How far are we going to let the standards drop? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the acceptance is because we are gauging performance of our 2nd string which is mid table quality and not our starting 11 which is top 6 quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Webbo Posted 1 May 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 May 2022 Really? We played the second team, for obvious reasons and you're using the fact we didn't win as a stick to beat Rodgers with? You've got to be desperate for validation to try that. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not winning the Euro Conference cup. The whole season has been a miserable affair. We need a major shake up and I don’t think Todgers is up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the result, its the manner of the performance. Our second team had 60% possession against top 4 chasing Spurs but did nothing with it. How many other teams second strings would see that much of the ball against Spurs? None. The only reason we had so much of the ball is because we’ve been sussed out. There needs to be a new approach to games because we are becoming very easy to play against. Edit - not to mention this was against Spurs first team at their own ground..

ajthefox Posted 1 May 2022 Share Posted 1 May 2022 I don't think today was too bad really. We had a pretty good first half with the exception of some individual errors. Second goal was too soft but that was our undoing really, we were never getting anything out of it after that. What I will say though, is that Brendan having us playing some of the best football most of us will have ever witnessed at the City is actually part of his problem. When you know what potential is there, it makes it all the more difficult to stomach the predictable shite we have been watching all too often this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they'd gone ahead they could sit back and contain us. Better players get better results, it's no secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 1 May 2022 Share Posted 1 May 2022 Our signings not working out is what's worrying me, I'm hoping Rodgers has a plan of how he wants to play, and signs first 11 players to make us better. We don't improve, players like maddison, dewsbury-hall and fofana are going to want to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far are we going to let the standards drop? Not sure that’s a question I can or should answer tbh. Not trying to chicken out, but I am happy with Top to make this choice, and he is highly unlikely to make a decision this season whilst we have won the Community Shield and are in our first Euro semi-final. However, should achievements decrease and our direction of travel falter, I have no doubt he will as he has a far more holistic view on how are doing club progressing. Could it be more entertaining? Sure could, but there has to be a balancing act between gung ho, balls to wall, charging forward as I honestly believe the football we played in the title season would see us relegated in the last few seasons. That is one of the many reasons that season was so spectacularly special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that we only have one style under brendan and for the large part it just doesn't work or even make us competitive.
