Today had a sense of Bolton in 01/02 about it.

 

Like the season was sorted on the very first day. 

That 5-0 humiliation was the last time we played a 'B' team at home on the first day of a PL season.

Imo, Brendan Rodgers' game management skills are on a par with Harry Maguire's footballing skills.

Rodgers’ insane, points-costing game management today deserves an absolute roasting from the media.

 

If he were a ‘Big 6’ manager, that’s exactly what he would get.

 

As it’s only Leicester, though, it will get ignored and they’ll just tell us we should be grateful to have him.

Watched the game on TV and even the commentators thought it was bizarre to take KDH off!, our midfield engine went flat from that point, and when they put on 5 subs they they were a different team.

Staff mentioned Brendan could of brought on his subs slowly killing minutes and play off in the last quarter which would have been a great tactic

Has he done a post match interview yet? Did he hold his hands up or what?

He said the players were fatigued towards the end of the match. Bizarre really if they were exhausted by the heat, then no way there going to compete against 5 fresh subs!

He justified the daka sub by saying that Brentford went 3 atb and then two sitting in front with everyone else flying forwards 

 

so he needed an extra body to get amongst that five 

 

but it was clear it wasn’t working after five mins so why not change again to try and wrestle back control ? Five subs allows you to do that without risk.

I'm not having that the quality on our bench wasn’t good enough in the midfield area. 

 

A baffling coaching display beyond the hour ….

It’s probably a good thing he hasn’t. He’s not going to change, his tactics and stubbornness are predictable. He’s on a downward trajectory. Swap him for Gerrard 

...the problem with that is getting Gerrard......!!!

We really do not want to be looking in that direction.

Someone else surely needs to take the initiative to go out and close him down. Not rocket science. 

This happens time and time again in a back 3 for some reason, it's as if the midfield think the extra defender means they can push higher up the pitch even when we don't have the ball. If it's energy levels thst stop the non stop box to box running then that's what being able to use 5 subs should limit, especially given how many midfielders we own. Unacceptable that is today

Of course we are not entitled to win every game. Please don't suggest that's what's going on here. Not with everyone anyway. What happened today was not us being beaten by a better team (which I will always accept and readily concede), it was us being in total control of a game (and I mean TOTAL control) and being hauled in;  out thought/tacticed by the opposition manager. That's on BR  and nobody else.

 

To go blaming technical errors by fatigued players is just ducking the real issue (and how generous of him to forgive them!) Rodgers could have at least addressed half of that issue and helped out his tiring players. But no, he makes life harder for them and pulls a player out of the middle. He handed Brentford the advantage right then and there.

 

Vardy was more active on our front post than theirs. Whatever made BR think that adding Daka upfront whilst removing one of the supply lines was a good idea?

 

I'm p*ssed off sure but my main beef is Rodgers not holding up his hand.
