More goals - Brendan

Both are acceptable.

 

Except under Puel where we created fewer chances and scored less goals.  

 

But both terms are grammatically correct.

Goals are “countable” so fewer patients/ buses/ goals

But 

less salt/ courage / confusion 

 

dont take my my word for it but I’m correct

The fact is if the fathead Puel hadn't tried to change the way Vardy plays Leicester would probably be in 6th spot. Surely you play to you squad's strengths, something Rodgers has realised already. Onards and upwards!!

Can't believe some still think we have a top 6 squad.

Can't believe we're still doing pointless retrospective abuse at Puel - he's gone, get over it.

It's the insecure guys giving themselves a nice little ego-stroke because they feel all the Puel vitriol was justified now that we've beaten Fulham under Rodgers. 

 

I supported Puel in his time here and felt that his days were numbered before he walked through the door. It is what it is and it's in the past now. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rodgers can do. It's jokes though watching people cling on to the Puel argument like it's some sort of trophy for them. 

 

Bit pathetic, lol.

Quite excited about the emphasis on wingers doing more.

Albrighton is going to absolutely thrive under Rodgers once back from injury, you heard it here first. He's exactly the sort of player he's talking about in this passage - a high-effort winger who loves the pressing game and is adept at both playmaking and goalscoring himself.

 

I'm calling double figures for both goals and assists from him next season if this tweaked system comes good.

I do hope you're right but if I was asked to describe Albrighton in two words, they would almost certainly not be "adept goalscorer"

I thought that too, I can see him really fitting in well.

His finishing is quality if he finds himself in the right positions. Man City this year in the cup and Sevilla in the UCL stand out to me, he just doesn't get into those positions often enough to get the chance, being as he has been our only true creative outlet for the past two seasons. One would hope a manager giving him the freedom to get into the box more in addition to setting others up will really help him get on the scoresheet more.

Albrighton is usually good for half a dozen assists a season so to ask for 4 goals as well really shouldn't be out of the question. I do think though Harvey Barnes is the sort of dynamic player that will offer double or treble that in goals and assists. Can't wait until the flood gates open.

You really do have to think that once he smashes one in (OG at Wolves notwithstanding), there will be no looking back for Harvey. We all saw what he's capable of at West Brom with a little wind in his sails. I'm just relieved that he's cemented a first team spot now, rather than his recall being wasted as it was last time from Barnsley.

Did we have a top 1 squad 3 seasons ago though? It's not always about squads on paper as we all know!

[OhYesNdidi]

4 goals and half a dozen assists are not really good enough if we want to break the top 6. Unless he can up his scoring, I’d hope we look for a right winger in the summer.

It's adequate if our left winger scores and provides 20 goals and our number 10, 15+. Collectively there needs to be a good spread which right now has been too low a number. Even when Mahrez was here we needed extra help and it does feel like in time Barnes and Maddison will bring that but some competition for that right wing spot is definitely needed, as is competition for Vardy.

He's a lovely guy and an excellent player for us but double figures in both assists and goals? Lol, no.

 

Even the very best players have a hard time to achieve it. You're totally going overboard.

I think you're mistaking overachieving for consistently challenging.

 

The top 6 are right now miles away from us in quality and depth. Can't understand why is this still even up to debate.

No mistake, having watched Chelski yesterday I would hardly put them miles away, bigger cheque book does not always have guarantees was the point I was making. Not an argument ,right or wrong issue just another perspective!

Sorry pal, but I'm fairly certain he'll be jettisoned and sold - Rodgers likes players who can hold onto possession and Albrighton's short range passing is diabolical.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see him sold to a club like Middlesbrough near top of Championship who play a direct style, that's the sort of team that MA will thrive in.
