Popular Post foxile5 2,246 Posted 26 September Popular Post Report Share Posted 26 September (edited) There's an awful lot of Brand Brendan revisionism going on at the club. Latest press conference 'Woe is me we've not got enough depth. It's not my fault. It's those rotten owners.' Twelve months back 'I am not buying anyone I like a small squad.' The bloke is making lots of mistakes and refusing to take any responsibility. We haven't got a physio at present, ours of twenty years has been binned and had his name sullied. Brendan Rodgers is playing an injured player at centre back until he has to have surgery; reckon that would have been the physios advice? As one poster pointed out, we used to have a great injury record and now we're playing people into the ground. Brand Brendan is a snake oil company. We might get some decent results but it doesn't mean he isn't doing damage and covering it up to protect himself. Edited 26 September by foxile5 1 1 1 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally think he is doing a great job - last years fall away was as much about widespread injuries as a loss of confidence following defeat to Liverpool and Man City - IMO. From a personality perspective though, I always get a sense of an underlying insincerity and just a little bit manufactured humbleness. It's not an appealing trait Edited 26 September by Jacnah 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPeakFox 9,587 Posted 26 September Report Share Posted 26 September I'm not sure there's a single manager who likes coming out and admitting their faults in public. He'll know what they are. To be honest, whatever he says, someone will find fault with it. And by the way, one only has to see the absurd lengths that some FT contributors go to in covering their arses, changing the subject and general obfuscation to realise that people generally just aren't that good at realising they've got something wrong. Again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again. You're perhaps right about FT. We are awful people by dent if just being on here. I've made tonnes of mistakes at work and when I do hold my hands up and admit it. People find it hard to be too pissed off if you cop to it. Brendan made a mistake in squad size and has been paying out the 'ohh we're not a big club' and 'i need more players' lines. Both of which are his issues. Edit - I should add he publicly lauded a small squad, choosing his own error. In not acknowledging the mistakes he's trying to cover up his shortcomings to protect his brand. Dislikable and weasly way of operating. He's doing a good job though, so I'm not looking for his head or anything. Just very cautious at how he's conducting himself. Some on here hate Puel because he was boring and that's fine: the bloke could bore a mining shaft. That didn't bother me quite so much, though I wasn't a raving fan. I find Brendan Rodgers very untrustworthy, borderline serpentine, which does bother me greatly. Edited 26 September by foxile5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We used 23 players last season, the issue is 7-8 of them weren't unto standard. Do you think if the club said Brendan you have a 100m to spend in the January window, he would have said "Nope I love a small squad" You are painting this narrative without knowing how much money he was given in the January window.

No. I'm going off him saying there weren't any signings because he liked a small squad. That's directly what he said. I can't be arsed to dig out the link but I've posted it before. He set up his own patard and was duly hoisted by it. If he wanted more signings but didn't have the money he could've said that - he's saying it now. He didn't. He made a point of saying that he didn't want anyone incoming because he liked a small squad. That, alone, isn't a problem. The problem arises when, as you say, the squad wasn't good enough but Rodgers starts to weasel and suggest that really we can't compete with man United and that actually he needs more players. Sorry. He made the point of saying he wanted a small squad. He doesn't then get the luxury of blaming everyone else when that doesn't work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fine - it wasn't obvious enough for me, and I expect others might not realise either. Does this mean the rest of your post was similarly humourous? Sorry - now I'm being a bit unnecessary. I don't believe your argument is fair overall, but I'll leave it there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see that quote if your got it, as its not something I've seen. So you think if the club had said in January, go get Coutinho, he would have said no I want a small squad?

Reginaldo 156 Posted 27 September Report Share Posted 27 September On BBC Football daily podcast they previewed the match. Rob Earnshaw said he had same injury as Wilf - explaining it was the worst injury of his career. He was out for 3 months but took 2 years to manage it until it was finally healed. 😢 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

st albans fox 8,125 Posted Wednesday at 18:00 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:00 well it is early December next week and we were expecting him back by mid December. we included him in the EL squad so we were certainly hoping he would be ready for AEK on the 10th. he is pretty well on schedule 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we can have a full squad to select from heading in to the Xmas period it could be so handy in the long-run for the 2nd part of the season, even more so given we're likely to have the EL knock-outs to content with.
