winteriscoming Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 There are times that you question him tactically but we are in a far better position than when he took over. Deserves more credit than criticism. Genuinely don’t think there is a better option for us. I think Rodgers and Leicester are perfectly suited for one another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re the one talking waffle, trying to down play a trophy just because it’s not considered an honour. What I’m saying is the fact we’ve broken a trend of over a decade just shows the level we’re operating as, as a club, regardless of how the trophy is viewed…. Our name is scribed on the trophy along with the “big six”. The fact we’re the first new name on the trophy since 1996 is a major achievement.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 Do I want Brendan out? Absolutely not. Will I be upset if he jumps ship? Also absolutely not. I've been expecting it since he walked through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 (edited) Some of the comments here are outrageous. We've majorly overachieved with Rodgers in charge. Yes, our form at the end of both recent seasons has been relatively poor but what great positions we were in and when the team gets that momentum, we're arguably the most stylish and effective team to watch in the league along with Man City. We had and have a terrible injury list, not dissimilar to Liverpool's the previous season and they had a couple of shocking results while they adjusted. We kept two clean sheets out of 3 games so far. Yes, it was a very poor performance yesterday but we've got so much quality to come into the team. Incredible to think that we have 7 excellent defenders, including four of the best full backs in the division. We just need some patience while the team gets through a very challenging period. Given how well Rodgers has managed limited resources before, he more than deserves our support. My one criticism of him would be his stubbornness against certain sides. I think he wants to show Moyes that his brand of proactive, imposing football can overcome their reactionary style (and I think that's reflected in how we've handled set pieces), but yesterday it was clear we lacked physicality and pace on the wings. He showed adaptability in the previous season against the big sides, and what gives me confidence is he does learn quickly.

Pliskin Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 To suggest you’d be happy with Rodgers leaving, or even suggest that you want him to leave, bin yourselves. He’s along with Claudio he is the finest manager we’ve had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokes Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 As much as it pains me to do so, I do agree with @ealingfox, the charity shield is not a major honour. It’s as prestigious as you can get for friendly competition but that’s it. A great day out to reward the fans of the two best sides of English football from the previous season. I don’t think it diminishes Rodgers record to say he has won one major trophy with us. Hell that’s one more than almost all of our previous managers and puts him very much still in contention for our GOAT. However, the charity shield is a friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 The majority of games played under Rodgers are IMO defensively boring and stale to watch. He's done us well in the table but his knack for relinquishing control in games we were comfortably dominating could bite us hard as teams figure us out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
