I've read that a few times and can only assume he meant they caught him having it early with consistent tests so it didn't spread to any one else rather than not contagious and just phrased it wierd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 60 pages of people begging for a player who plays in a position that Rodgers doesn't use. You do realise he doesn't want width out on the right, he likes us to be narrow on that side. Has he ever used an out and out right winger there? We've basically sold every naturally right sided midfielder we've had, we didn't play a wide player we had on loan and we have signed copious amounts on central midfielders despite already have 38 of them. Get used to this shitty congested system with little width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to this shitty congested system with little width. He's literally just green lighted Albrighton being given a new three-year contract? WTF are you on about? 'Wide player', 'winger', 'inside forward' - whatever you call it and whatever role they play, football teams are usually shite unless there is a player in front of the full-back - look at our lack of passing options playing a narrow 3-4-1-2 last season. There are narrow options available on the market if he wants someone that does Perez's job but better. The simple fact is that Perez is not good enough to do even the job that Rodgers wants him to do on a consistent basis, whatever that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 34 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: This will be his first fall out with the club if we don't get a winger in. He turned down Spurs because of assurances this summer and I can't see how they've been fulfilled regardless of Fofana's injury as the money we get for Sowah is only a few million less than what we've chuffed up for Vestergaard. If I'm right then you'll start to see Rodgers gobbing off in the press, he did it at Liverpool and Celtic. Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to see him at Arsenal by the end of the season. On paper it’s the perfect time to go into that club for a manager, they can’t do any worse than Arteta and the fans are waiting for the upturn in form. Despite what people say about their current state, Arsenal are a massive club and have money (more money than we do for sure), they have some excellent young players and I could see Brendan getting to the point where he thinks he’s gone as a far as he can here with the financial ceiling that we have. Numerous posters, including yourself have said it but something definitely doesn’t seem right with him at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 It is fairly obvious that Rodgers does not worship at the alter of Riyad Mahrez , neither does Guardiola for that matter. Why should he! He has probably rarely met him. Its time to move on. We have three fast mobile forwards in Vardy, Barnes and Daka who are quite capable of playing all the channels. The Liverpool front three turn up all over the park and we should do something similar. Rodgers likes versatility and I can't argue with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the things he has been saying… They don’t make much sense, it’s almost like something has ****ed him off… But if he doesn’t get what he wants he will walk, the training ground and stadium are great, but they alone won’t get the club to where they want to go… I guess we will see as things unfold, but if we don’t get anyone else in, and Arsenals form doesn’t improve and they sack Arteta, I would be concerned.

I think it’s all context too. After getting served by West Ham it does taint things slightly. A better performance, win and proof we don’t need to rely on Perez against Norwich and all will be forgiven! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 I'd imagine the problem with Rodgers might be the fact he's not been able to pick his first choice XI in about 2 years Poor bloke is probably close to bringing in an exorcist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not comparing players, I don't do that , just their style of attack with no rigid positions.The advantage is the opposing defence often loses them.

peach0000 Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 Everyone panicking now Noni has signed a new contract is really misplaced imo. This talk about Rodgers being unhappy also seems to have not merit. Here's how I see it. I think we sign a right winger before the deadline and everyone will be happy. We know Rodgers likes his wingers and also like to have multiple players competing for positions. What has made me so confident of someone coming in is the case of Sowah. There's no way he would be leaving without someone coming in. It just seems too unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
