So we spent most of pre-season practicing 4-3-3 and then because of one injury we resort to 5-3-2. Does not sound like the best planning. And why not just use the guys we have? Albrighton, Perez and Praet could all play a few games on the flank. Lookman would have been a nice squad player, but the squad is bloated with players our manager refuses to use, so we could not sign him. Its really all a bit concerning.

Whilst I agree, the more important subs to be made were to bring off Ndidi (pretty sure he didn’t play 90 mins in pre-season) and Madders who was blowing after 70 mins. Mendy and Perez coming on would have made a much bigger difference than Lookman unless Rodgers didn’t go 3511 to begin with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he gone public and said he wanted him but the club wouldn't sanction it then there would have been plenty pilling in with comments about how he was getting his excuses in early. He can't win with some people. See above Edited 8 August 2022 by hackneyfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone earlier, on here or BR, was praising Steve Cooper for being honest and saying they were beaten by a better side. This place (or BR) would explode if Rodgers said something like that. He gets slaughtered for pointing out that it's difficult to compete with teams with a higher turnover than ours.

lcfc_forever Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 BR said he wanted a CB last summer after Fofana’s injury and Top got him the player he’d admired for some time, Vestergaard. He’s been consistently backed in the transfer window to the point now we have an overblown squad with too many substandard players on high wages. A supporter of BR but this kind of comment is getting increasingly grating, especially off the back of his ridiculous sub in the previous match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the reaction on here to his interview on radio Leicester last week before I had listened to the interview. Then went away and listened to the interview and some of those moaning on here were reporting a complete misrepresentation of what was actually said with a few lies thrown in to try and validate their arguments against him. I haven’t got a problem with people questioning tactics etc but some of the stuff written on here is complete and utter guff.

We had plenty of options, its Rodgers who chose not to use them. I really like Lookman and thought we should've got him, but him not being here hasn't contributed to us losing a 2 goal lead and dropping 2 points. That's on Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
