Tactics, lack of leadership? 2 games 0 shots in inexcusable. No motivation, no one playing for the manager. That is to blame. Coaching for misplace passes. Most are internationals. It shouldn’t happen in the frequency it has been. 

Or passing around the back which ain't going to get you a goal or may lead to you conceding one or more.

Poor finishing did for us today, also the goal scorer should have been sent out for his foul on kdh. I knew we are going to struggle after the injury new before the game and Harvey injury during the game. Just our day😡🏆

Accurate post but to be fair half of that was World Cup.

went to cook dinner at full time. cut up some chillies and then wiped my nose, burning like all hell, but I'd sooner do that again than watch another 90 minutes like that. Literally no positives to take from it, get him sacked

Ouch.

Of course I can. Especially when we have consistently done it this season and part of last. Consistency in performance of value are delivered on the training pitch. We don’t have that do we. Who is in charge ? Organisation (or lack of - see first goal), game plan (which there was none) and ability to adapt is achieved by coaching. If this was one off I could just about understand your inability to concede what is right in front of you but we are now in March.
 

Believe me if the mate comment was serious I would be seriously considering my life choices. 

You are talking everything but my points raised, because you cant admit that the players are letting the side down with terrible finishing, it really is that simple based on todays game.

Another Sat evening, Sunday & Monday morning refreshing FT and BBC sport every 15 mins hoping to hear news he's gone.

Talk about Groundhog Day.

Of course the player are letting this club down. They can leave too - every one of them. 
 

However, to even suggest Rodgers isn’t fundamentally responsible here is stupidity. I’m sorry for using that term but I can’t think of a better one.

We arent mates. How is rodgers to blame for woeful finishing or misplaced passes? You can't answer.

By that count he should equally take no credit for good finishing or good passes.

That's the only hope we can cling to in regard to this club. If he's not gone by Monday afternoon then I'm done with them until Top and the board piss off.

That good opportunities line makes me tickle….the two most gilt edged chances came from their goalkeeper. We didn’t create them. Their keeper gave them to us.

No it isn't. 

 

It is two years of slowly letting standards drop, allowing confidence to wane, exceptionally poor man-management, bizarre public statements, shite signings  and gross negligence of creating a structure of play that plays to our strengths whilst attempting to nullify the opposition. 

[CosbehFox]

That performance was very similar to us at Forest. Started okay and had chances but then let a shit goal in playing too high up the pitch. Then do nothing with the ball.

Booo facts are not welcome here 

[I blame Wellens]

He is not going anywhere. He will leave the club on his terms.

What does that even mean?

"His terms"?

[gerblod]

Maddison appears to be pissed off with the scene - two misplaced passes is bad for him. Problem is, we had them on the ropes for such a long stretch and, typically, if we don't score then we usually concede. Technically, we're better than most teams in the Prem, but there's no fight in them. It's like they're just doing a job rather than fighting for the club. Rodgers isn't the man for a relegation struggle. His thing is being at a club where he can depend on money to get him out of scrapes.

Truth is, he doesn't know how to motivate a struggling team. I hope we stay up, of course, but either way, that or relegation, he's neither use nor ornament for City - he stopped being an effective manager two seasons ago. I'm not sure whether Top wants to sack him. Is it too big a decision he's presented with?

[ealingfox]

We do not have one of the 3 worst squads in the league, but we are one of the 3 worst performing teams. There is no logical basis for concluding that the manager is not responsible for this, you are deluded if you think otherwise.

Genuine question for everyone saying sack him now, who comes in?

Well he's just stood toe to toe with a championship manager and one bottom of the PL and they've both wiped the floor with him tactically. 

The bar isn't that high .

Who the fook was he? It's hard to comprehend, but he appeared worse than Ward. 

 

They basically played a team of Ward, Soumare, Luke Thomas and Tete. The stuff of absolute nightmares. And beat us. It's a defeat the defies all known football laws.

So everyone leave, is see you are an irrational poster. Todays loss was nothing to do with tactics, formation, training, seagrave, the master plan. It was lost due to woeful finishing and poor decision/execution by the players.

Who is crediting him for that? Ive never once though oh great finish Vardy, must have been Rodgers training sessions. Weird post.

Professional footballers regardless of anything you have said, should score headers from 6 yards out, its that simple.
