  1. Exactly what I was thinking. The players just don’t seem to believe in the type of football BR wants them to play, and in turn they’ve lost interest.
  2. He did initially turn us into an attacking threat, but has gone full 360 and returned us to how we were under Puel. To be honest he totally transformed Nacho, but then constantly refused to give him 90mins even though he was our best player at the time and only goal threat. Yet always persists with Perez (even if he is playing him out of position half the time). Whilst injuries were a major factor in missing top 4 both times, it wasn’t the “only” reason. Brendan’s bizarre tactics, substitutions and overall decision making certainly played a part. Games like Bournemouth come to mind. The fact we did all this on a smaller budget has far more to do with the way the club is set up (recruitment etc) than it does Rodgers. We won the league on a tiny budget. There is no denying we’ve had success while he’s been here, but equally our slump is also down to him. The biggest mystery is why he is so obsessed with sideways, backwards football when we have a team that can attack.
  3. For the record I actually think Rodgers is the man to turn this slump around, but the only way that happens is if he drops his fixation with possession and ‘controlling the game’ (which if you think about it we’re not really doing). We have played some amazing football under Rodgers at times, but there are so many things he does that I will never be able to understand. I fully appreciate we’ve had a nightmare injury record over the last few years (BR should be held to some level of accountability for this), but even with the injuries our squad is better suited to attacking football which slowly looks like is being coached out of our players. Why aren’t we playing to our strengths?Take the West Brom game where we were 3 up at half time, and he had ago at the team for not being ‘in control’. How do you explain that? For some odd reason it’s like he goes out of his way to make it harder to get the three points. We finished 14th during the season of the great escape, and it’s possible we could finish in similar standing this season. In terms of expectation a 14th place finish with our best ever squad would not be acceptable, especially when considering the backing BR has received.
  4. Our**
  5. He’s been taking us backwards (and sideways) for quite some time now. Sadly I don’t see him taking us forward anymore. Fast attacking football has worked for this team, but he’s so obsessed with possession and ‘controlling the game’. Just look at his mood and comments after the West Brom games.
  6. Wrong question. You should be asking if he is still driving us forward.
  7. Lol yeah was already pointed out. Apologies for the misunderstanding @Kilworthfox
  8. Fair point but 50/50 isn’t a record that we should be ok with.
  9. There’s no denying this. But overall over during his tenure our football has been shite.
  10. Thanks mate but I’ve been on here for a while already. Hope you enjoyed the match this evening
  11. For the first time I’m 51% BR out.
  12. ‘We’ll never play Vardy and Daka together’ they said. The Foxes are back!!
  13. Due to countless injuries - something BR should be held accountable for. Even factoring in the shorter breaks during lockdown and when compared to other teams, our injury record has been ridiculous during his time in charge.
  14. Were you dead when Pearson was in charge?
  15. He’s lost the fking plot.
  16. A group of 30 people in town is fairly large and certainly more than enough to cause trouble.
  17. Still get goosebumps every time I think of him. Never felt as connected to this club as I did during the time Nige was in charge.
  18. Please don’t let this thread get anywhere close to a hundred pages
