Blue Ed Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 2 minutes ago, The whole world smiles said: Is there any articles or videos looking at his tactics? apologies if they have been posted already. A lot going on here in the last 48 hours I did a bit of quick research last night. looked a good fit and Puel upgrade to be honest. favourite formation apparently is 4231. Also plays 433 and at Liverpool played the diamond quite regularly. Looking at his buying record that looks pretty decent. He looks to have a good record of buying young talented players, Firmino was 20 or something when he got him and he bought Gomez at Liverpool are a couple I remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smr Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 "Brendan Rodgers will be named the new Leicester City manager. The 46-year-old is expected to be appointed within the next 24 hours after Celtic reluctantly gave him permission to talk to Leicester. It is understood that talks are at an advanced stage and that a deal in principle has been agreed between all parties, paving the way for Rodgers to take charge of his first game as Leicester manager at Watford on Sunday." Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on paper it is exactly what Puel favours and he also has the same ideas about possession and "sideways" passing. Very interested to see how he will set the team up.

The Celtic fans I've seen are deeply disappointed and have low expectations of their European prospects anyway, usually citing the fact that they have a third of our TV money and therefore a smaller budget.

smr Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 I didn't realise he had to retire at age 20 playing football, due to a genetic knee condition. Still, made up for the lack of playing career just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThingsCouldGetMessi Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Really excited about this. At least if we are mid table and still losing matches regularly then we will do it in style. Liverpool were amazing to watch when he was their manager and he's good at getting the best out of players especially younger one's. I'm not expecting a tilt towards the top 6 again if he does come but I do expect the football to be good even if results are mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 (edited) Wonder why Celtic had granted Rodgers permission to leave. Can see Lennon going back there imo. Doubt it's to do with the amount of compensation going their way to get his services. Edited 26 February 2019 by Wymeswold fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the toxic atmosphere in the dressing room, I don't know much about it. If you mean the one in the stands, it might also have something to do with the fans because the team played for him until the last minute. Anyway this is a Rodgers thread and I don't want to derail it any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 I do have my concerns about this. Puel never really got us and I fear Rodgers won't. Will obviously get my full backing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dominate domestically but don't have the resources to compete abroad. Look at how they sold their promising striker Dembele as an example. There is no love lost there that's for sure. Their owner will probably love the 6M compensation we will pay too which will definitely soften the blow for them. I don't have any doubt that if Rodgers did do well for us he would scarper at the first opportunity to a Chelsea or Arsenal but to be honest most managers would.

Rusko187 Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Not buying he'd have stayed to complete the Treble - Treble, where does that sort of thing end.. year on year it would be "he's got to stay for the Quadruple - Treble". Under safe hands they'll see the season out no problem, Leicester presents a fantastic opportunity for Rodgers and likewise I'm very excited he is coming here.
