Not sure what this is doing in the Rodgers thread though. The biggest issue under Rodgers is that when we're bad, the whole side is normally abysmal. It's not just a few players having an off game so it's more of a holistic problem. The games against West Ham, Fulham & Everton at home last season were the best examples - for a team of talented players we looked like total strangers barely capable of mustering up a shot on target. Occasionally (well every game this season) we can just look really rigid and toothless, almost as if Puel was still in charge, which makes me wonder how strict Rodgers is as a coach, is everything too dogmatic?

Sometimes I just think he (Rodgers) has come up with a plan for the game, and the players have not bought in to the plan, and if it is not working, you can see the big players looking to the bench and players having a go at each other on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points mean prizes, not shots. Sounds like a conversation I had in 2016. I was working next to a Spurs fan who kept complaining about how little possession we had, which meant we were a poor side. I had to explain that the aim in football was to score more goals than the opposition. Although, we are not doing as well at that in the first 4 games this season.

UHDrive Posted 16 September 2021 Share Posted 16 September 2021 Give our defensive woes I'm not surprised really, as well as that idiot getting sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have to take into account the dreadful team selection and tactics against at least one of those. We'd had two warnings not to repeat it.

Fox92 Posted 17 September 2021 Author Share Posted 17 September 2021 I've always said his subs confuse me and last night this was more than ever. Perez off when having one of his better games? To put Daka right midfield. And then I think he brought Maddison on because he knew he messed up, but I didn't get that sub either. Bigger problem for me currently though is how many shots we seem to let the opposition have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 17 September 2021 Share Posted 17 September 2021 Feel like he's getting more wrong than right at the moment. We look so flat and make so many unforced errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 17 September 2021 Share Posted 17 September 2021 I think he is guilty of over thinking things. He doesn't do the obvious sometimes and is reluctant to make changes. Saying that it is tough when you have so many out of form and key players injured but he made some great signings so rotate and play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka was playing right midfield from around 30 minutes, and carried on in that position all second half. I still don't understand why, as it also meant Iheanacho became the lone striker which he's never been good at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 17 September 2021 Share Posted 17 September 2021 (edited) We're not playing well but I have absolute faith in Brendan, he'll get it right sooner rather than later. I think he's trying things to get the balance right and compensate for our defensive injuries. I find talk of the players 'not playing for Brendan' absolutely laughable. Still find it amazing, despite his success here, how many fans seem to want him to fail. Bizarre Edited 17 September 2021 by Tielemans63 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
