Do you know how those sides went on to do after that? Di Canio was after 5 as well as a more recent example, also edited my post to state if Newcastle were willing to bin Robson then Rodgers is hardly untouchable. Newcastle finished 14th that season and then 7th the season after, Palace finished 11th after binning De Boer, Sunderland 14th after Di Canio, Southampton went down after Sturrock, Newcastle 13th after Dalglish.

If he plays 3 at the back against Southampton you sack him in HT. Meanwhile in the first 45min a poll takes place inside the stadium. 90% of the fans choose 4-3-1-2 or diamond and we make the changes in HT. Let's make history again. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Feels like a big match this. I don’t expect Rodgers to be sacked if we lose but do feel the atmosphere turns toxic where it’s the only real outcome in the next couple of months. Still expect us to win though, Saints are pretty woeful. Ward Castagne Fofana Evans Justin Ndidi Youri KDH Maddison Kelechi Vardy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Two established premier league teams who are shitting themselves. Will either be 4-3 or a drab 0-0. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapperleyfox Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Make no mistake, anything other than 3 points and the pressure is on big time. Rodgers needs to start earning his corn and the team need to show some fight and desire that was sadly lacking on Saturday. A draw or defeat and it's the beginning of the end I feel. Rodgers is a coach in my opinion who's great when things are going well but struggles to find the answers to problems when things aren't going so well. I'm increasingly worried about this season and where we might end up. It's early days, but i don't see anything other than a big struggle to stay in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrielCaziado Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Think Nacho starts and scores at least two in a good win and becomes first choice striker for the remainder of the season in which he goes onto score 24 goals and wins the golden boot. 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble92 Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 It's getting to the point where he has to see just how detrimental 3 centre backs are. We've conceded 6 in 2 matches. It's reducing our attacking threat and evidently not making us any more solid defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's soft, he's weak, his mentality is a losing one when anything goes wrong, and he makes us play as such when the situation isn't ideal. He's an idealist.

kingcarr21 Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 As much as i love Vardy for me these are the types of games i would like to see him on the bench and we go with Daka and Iheanacho. We will never progress without Vardy if we dont give more gametime to these 2. Iheanacho scored for fun couple of season ago during Vards injury then rather than build on the progress we stall his growth. For me we are in the realms of Vards being super sub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think statistically we concede more with 3 CBs. We also don't have the players for 3 CBs, especially as we have 2 CBs that we won't play. I'd sooner we go more attacking to take the play away from back line and take the pressure off but we never do so I've given up saying it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference would be to bring Thomas in, shift Justin to RB and play Castagne wide right. Wide left is tricky. I guess we only really have Kevin. (No offence Kevin) Tielemans can have a rest for this one. Anyway: Ward Justin Fofana Evans Thomas Ndid KDH Castagne Maddison Albrighton Vardy .....I would go with a diamond and have two upfront!!! With the way Southampton plays 4-2-2-2, we can get Maddison in his preferred role, Vardy, with Nacho for support, and Ndidi in his preferred position with Praet in as the other #8. We do not have to shoehorn players due to a missing winger, our bloated squad can cater to such problems, without inventing roles for people who do not play those positions on a regular basis.
