yorkie1999 Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: Because we then invariably lose the midfield battle and Maddison would have to be dropped hence what I said. The annoying thing is he's now no longer even making an impact off the bench and with it his momentum and confidence will be wilting. Top goal scorer last season to surplus to requirements .

The entire season so far we have surrendered midfield and in doing so, put the defence under undue pressure. It's extraordinarily odd. I'd attempt to solidify and be a bit more pragmatic and start to he hard to beat..I'd start with Gk plus current normal 4 at the back Wilf Madders Hamza Kdh Kels Vards ....and use our bench to develop the game later; Barnes, Daka, Perez, Albrighton, Lookman can all change a dynamic of a game It’s clear the issue for iheanacho is that when Barnes is fit and firing we will play the formation to include him. That formation does then not fit iheanacho in, that’s why the two hardly ever start in the same team. If Barnes hadn’t got injured last season iheanacho would have hardly had a look in, it’s a real shame because when he’s backed, he scores lots of goals and I’d like us to fit him in somewhere but just think this is the way Rodgers sees it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy82 Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 If we’re all completely honest with ourselves we’ve never been defensively sound under Rodgers, set pieces and poor decision making has been a regular problem but we’ve always been able to score goals and can be deadly for periods during the 3 seasons he’s been in charge so I’m still hoping and believing we can get a run going starting at villa🤞🤞🤞 I’m fully prepared for another shite performance on Sunday but will always have the hope something will click! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 Really these were doggo until a couple of weeks ago. If we put in a shift and defend as a group then a win is a strong possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Defence is the main problem. If Kasper could dive once in a while too, that would be great. He’s just watched the ball fly by a few times lately which is awful to see from somebody like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 Why do people keep leaking our team, especially for something as pointless as twitter clout. If true, KDH has indeed been robbed. How Rodgers sticks with Soumare and Ndidi after the last games is bizarre. Almost like when we had Mendy and Ndidi in a two when everyone could see it didnt work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, bit would have to get it absolutely spot on as our full backs need support out wide so we'd need very energetic central midfielders and plenty of movement.

Ric Flair Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 If Soumare is starting then I've no sympathy for Rodgers any longer. His honest and frank interview after Wednesdays game made me feel like the players were letting him down but to go and pick the same defence and central midfield that is causing it and reward the player he called outstanding and who changed the game then he's his own worst enemy. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
