Popular Post Dames Posted 7 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 7 August 2022 His post match comments prove every reasonable criticism true. I can’t believe he’s blamed fatigue after making one sub out of five and kept a straight face about it. Its beyond parody. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstances didn't save Ranieri when he was backwards and forwards while his mum was I'll and trusting the back stabbing poison dwarf Shakespeare to do right by him. Only Rodgers PR outfit and the rest of the potting shed crew could excuse his continued ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djskydiver Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 He's on borrowed time if you ask me, probably one of the reasons he's not been able to bring anyone in; should the club be thinking if things don't improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetstonefox Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 I think a reckoning is pretty close either Topp running out of patience, BR using a possible sale to make a pointed comment or the fans getting on his back if we for example don’t beat Southampton. Just feels like something will give. What this does to the players morale god only knows. Feels weird saying that as on 60 minutes it all looked so good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never felt this annoyed at O'Neill during his tenure (although he did get some grief at the outset of his spell). Had far less at his disposal resource and player wise.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 He’s done a great a job but run his course. The fact he can’t fix the issues, proves that. We have given him plenty of tools too. So for all the injuries/excuses, he is also the manager who has plenty of resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 What is clear is that the tide is turning re fans contentment with Rodgers. If he didn’t have such a ridiculous contract (clearly a theme at the club now) he’d have been changed some time ago I think. I said this at the end of last season and amazingly, it’s still true… there is no bounce at the club. It’s stale. Teams know how we’ll play and how to get at us. It’s like Groundhog Day too many times. And we haven’t even signed any players to give the fans a spark of excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 43 minutes ago, Deeg67 said: There are only two possibilities with the shocking lack of subs today (and the one sub was itself shocking). Either he’s so incompetent that he thinks he was being smart, or he’s trying to prove a point about transfers and willing to sacrifice points (and players) to do it. Either one is pretty harrowing as a supporter. The more I think about today’s situation and who we had on the bench, it’s pretty clear to me that he’s trying to make a point about having no incomings. Today’s bench was full with players he clearly doesn’t want. Soyuncu - Brendan clearly got fed up of him at the back end of last season. Iheanacho - Has dug Brendan out the shit numerous times, yet I don’t think Brendan has ever truly believed in him. Perez - Brendan wants a new right winger plus Perez is out of contract next summer. Mendy - Out of contract next summer. Praet - Wants to stay, should stay, but wouldn’t be surprised if Brendan is still not keen on him. To blame it on fatigue when you have four subs available is such a stupid comment. He wanted a refresh, didn’t get his refresh, now is trying to prove a point by basically saying “Our squad depth is shit”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to leave the club whilst the FA Cup win and 5th place finishes are what we remember him for and before the club continue their decline. He has repeated publicly blamed these players and said some of them had no future at the club and now we expect him to lead the exact same group of players. He blames fatigue, but refuses bring on fresh legs. Clubs have worked out his style and he appears to be unable to adapt. We are still unable to manage a game. This is not about what he has done for the club, it is about the future of the club. We're not calling for him to go after one game, we are calling for him to go after a poor finish to the 20/21 season, a below average (at best) season in 21/22 - This 1 game just proves he hasn't changed and for many it has brought into question whether he still wants to be at the club - his interviews looks like he is just going through the motions. For the record the Managers in the 90s - Little getting us promoted into the Premier League and O'Neill for bringing us European football for the 1st time in 30 years. With the group of players and resources they had, both did a fantastic job. The resources and players we have now are of a much higher standard. so yourself a favour...Stop Hanging on everyword,every Single off Shoot statement....from anybody... ffs tell me Why from Top 12-15 managers have said and kept to anything mind-blowing...or even the straight & Narrow digits..!!

Popular Post CrazyKopCorner Posted 7 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 7 August 2022 Every times he’s taken KDH off we’ve totally lost the momentum in the game - Liverpool league cup, Spurs at home and today - hate to say it but Maddison was crap 2nd half and Wilf was poor with the ball all game. Dennis was the obvious one to bring on, bring Daka on for Vardy and we win the midfield battle. Also means we’d have at least put in a challenge for their 2nd goal 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Shep Posted 7 August 2022 Share Posted 7 August 2022 Rogers got an even better contract as Arsenal were sniffing and I think it's fair to say most of us were happy with that at the time. Also those suggesting Potter or Gerard, we still finished above their teams despite being shite most of the season. Still he is marmite, baffles me with left field tactics and subs and team selections! I really don't know what the answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sm1 Posted 7 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 7 August 2022 (edited) Brendan does what Brendan does best, **** up games with his bizarre subs. People say its Praet's fault he doesn't want to stay, but why would he. Been our best player in preseason, so when Brendan decides to take off KDH, he goes and put Daka in. 5 subs and he uses 1. Predictably it will be someone's else fault. Edited 7 August 2022 by sm1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
