The club isn't dropping him after a top half finish and a decent cup run. We won the FA Cup last season.

 

I am a little worried this could be the start of a downward trajectory but I think Rodgers has earned the right to take the start of the rebuild. Two fifth place finishes, a likely eighth place, a European semi final and a FA Cup.

I’m concerned we’ll keep him and need a reshuffle. Unfortunately he’s shown that he’s not up to it. A top half finish will see him start next season but I think it will not help us long term. Hope we make the change but can’t see it. Better options available.

Do be quiet now. Your non sensical ramblings are shaming you.

Weighing everything up, that’s how I see it. I think he’s earnt the chance to start a rebuild. I’m not sure I trust him to sign the right players but I’m sure he’ll stay to be given the chance

Castagne's interview this week is quite refreshing to see. He's always been brutally honest has Castagne where others (most certainly our manager) will try and bull shit his way out of the failures of this season.

 

We've not been good enough in the league or the Europa League this season, some of the players believe that and yet our manager still can't help try and excuse himself by saying a top 10 finish and a European semi final would be seen as a decent season for us. Its a concerning mentality, rather than accept responsibility and earn the respect for admitting things haven't been good enough but that he's earnt the right to try and fix it.

Personally, at this moment in time, my biggest worry is recruitment. BR isn't solely responsible for this, but does have partial responsibility. Also, a great manager surrounds himself with good people - like Pearson with Shakespeare and Walsh. 

 

To play the Rodgers way needs players with individual creativity and confidence. Otherwise the team is just a blunt tool. Teams with players of less ability need to make the most of different attributes: like defensive solidity (low block), pace (counter attack) or physicality (directness). 

 

Has Rodgers got the right team around him to make good decisions with our summer squad overhaul? I'm not convinced he has. We could be left with a bunch of players without the required ability to play the Rodgers way, but without the physical attributes to play any other way

Injuries and a belligerent manager have produced a frustrating end to this season. He has until November in my mind to show he remains worthy of his salary and so called reputation.

He doesn't seem to want professional coaches around him...just his mates.

The defensive issues have been going on for so so long but he blames the players and would rather spend 10 of millions on a players then try to solve the problems by successful coaching

5th 5th 8th and an FA Cup - it would look great on paper and we’d no doubt hear a lot about it from PRendan Rodgers.

 

The reality is we had the 5th best team on paper in those two seasons where we finished 5th, potentially even the 4th best in the league on at least one occasion. With the decline of Arsenal, Man United and Spurs at various points over those two seasons, it wasn’t overachievement at all.

 

The FA Cup was of course a marvellous achievement but this season has been very poor. An 8th placed finish would certainly mask the reality that we’ve played well what? Four? Maybe five times in the league?

 

The phrase “European semi-final” is doing a lot of work for Rodgers right now. It was a competition we should never have been in in reality and Rodgers was out-witted by the first top class managerial opponent he came up against. I enjoyed the ride, but it’s not something that should go in the ‘pros’ column when it comes to Rodgers.

 

He’ll get the summer and I think even those leaning towards Rodgers out know that and don’t have a major issue with it. But he needs a strong start to next season for sure.

He’s here next season. He’ll have the summer budget to spend and the decision on who leaves. I think we are making a mistake - a huge one. However, it is what it is now and no point complaining now. Here is to next season. Prove me wrong Brendan - please.

I know he rubs people up the wrong way and he's far from perfect. But people need to pick their dummys up and try and get behind him. he's 100 percent going nowhere and rightly so as Across his 3 full seasons his record is very good like it or not:

 

2 top 5 finishes. 

 

A top 10 finish.  (with a shit load of injuries if you fancy factoring then in) 

 

2 semi finals

 

2 quarter finals. 

 

1 fa cup win. 

 

A charity shield win. 

 

A win ratio of 45 percent

I like BR and am happy with what he has achieved in the time he has been here. Yeah yeah he has made mistakes and is far from perfect, but with a few good signings in the summer and a mass project into sorting our set-piece bullshit out, i cant see why we wouldnt be looking forward to a great up & coming season.

The issue is we haven't played consistently well for a run of games for at least a year. The corner goal record is embarrassing and 100% can be reversed by good coaching. Mitigating factor: injuries (but how much of that is down to something up with the backroom staff/ an avoidable problem?) 

 

Saying that, we have seen Rodgers coach us to a very high standard before (see 8? game win streak Autumn 2019, mixing with top four) and it's worth giving him the chance to rebuild given: i) we know he can do it (get us up the league) ii) we're not in relegation danger iii) given his long contract it would cost us ££ to sack

 

I expect us to be challenging for Euro spots again next season given we will have moved a few players around and we'll have no Euro midweek games to worry about/more time on the training pitch

I can sorta forgive this season due to the huge amounts of injuries to so many key players. 
 

I know I will get ridiculed and told that how come now they all back we still look crap, but in football consistency is key isn’t it?
