Genuinely baffled. How many times this season have we needlessly changed formation and tried to defend and 1 goal lead? Absolutely no need for it whatsoever, Brendan is literally giving points away.

You're not alone there mate.

Totally in control of the game no real need for a formation change.

We end up with 4 central midfielders on the pitch noe of whom seemed to know what job they were being asked to do

Soumare not good enough for this level currently

 

Not really been a Rodgers out camper so far but I'm starting to pitch the tent! Fed up of the same shit every single game.

Other managers would at least be trying something different

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Think he's run out of ideas, no way were going to defend a lead when he changed the system.

Dreadful in the second half so so disappointed, always happens when he changed the system we should of gone for the second but he took off Barnes and Lookman.

We seem to be slowly sliding down the table now😟

[RowlattsFox]

Put any of our strikers in this Brighton team and they'd be class. 

[Asha]

Sunday early afternoon games are so dead.

[NewEnglandFox]

Figured we were going to lose that after their equalizer went in.

 

The **** is Brendan doing parking the bus after scoring at home against Brighton? With our defense? If they didn't fluff so many changes we would have lost that game.

[ParkerPen]

I was half way through tidying the garage, but I stopped to watch this shit.

 

in hindsight I would rather have been getting covered in dust and spiders.

With the midfield and attack we have I don't know why we don't go on the front foot and stay in it.

 

Depending on defending has been horrible to watch and experience and most importantly it doesn't work.

Have you been watching Brendan Rodgers for long?

Parked the bus at home to Brighton once we went 1-0 up. Is this our pinnacle?

Lack of attacking options don't help, Daka and Barnes look half fit.

 

[foxfanazer]

Thought we were fairly comfortable until Brendan stuck his nose in trying to be clever. Hamstrung by our manager yet again

[LcFc_Smiv]

What are you all complaining about? We're in the top 10 of the Premier League, this is as good as we can ever hope for, forget the past glories, we peaked! This is where our ambition lies and we're very good at being midtable dross!

We need a break and get some energy back.

Not sure this is correct we've not played anywhere near the games we should have this month

[RowlattsFox]

Rodgers has lost confidence in his players. And probably vice versa too 

[ARM1968]

We’d struggle to win a raffle now if we bought ALL the tickets.

I'm not maoning about our league position, but the manager seemingly costing us 3 pts with an uneccessary formation change

[hejammy]

Walking back, that tactical formation change was the reason for drawing that game. We were awful after that. Also not sure what has happened to Barnes but he was shocking all game

Hanging on to a 1 goal lead against the mighty Brighton and Hove Albion. We had more than enough quality on the pitch to take control of that game, instead due to the managers incompetence yet again, were lucky to get a point in the end. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

I thought Graham Potter was shit according to many on FT? 

[escape2victory]

Such a strange second half from Rodgers, actually felt a bit sorry for the players having to follow those tactics. It felt like a second half where we were down to 10 men and having to hang on.

 

thought first half we were decent, got the goal beginning of 2nd half, then for some reason he reverts to a 5-3-2 immediately and basically for the whole 2nd half we were hanging on. Those tactics played straight into Brighton and Lampteys hands, giving him the freedom of the right hand side. Would of been better to stick with the 4-2-3-1 as could of pinned him back more…….seriously strange management from Rodgers that

You ok letting Brighton overtake us then? Wow we really have 'Peaked' as Brenden would put it. 

[Guest SO1]

Hard to watch the 2nd half after our goal. Don't know why we choose to defend and put all that pressure and stress on our defending.

Feels like the last man standing in a game of Dodge ball. Just getting pelted.

This is ultimately what we should be doing in our current state. 
 

We should place an advert to offer counselling to other teams. 

 

—————

 

* Has your striker now on a goal drought? 
* Is your team out of form? 
 

* Come and play Leicester City, as we couldn’t defend the sand from getting wet in a desert

[Tielemans63]

Great idea to shut up shop while we're dominant and rely on our notoriously shite defence to see us through the final 25 minutes.... 

 

Still Brendan in but decisions like that don't ****ing help.

 

Credit to Brighton, they deserved a point at the very least.
