Dennis Praet

[Ian Nacho]

Wonder what his fitness levels are like? Always seems to get dragged before 60 minutes.

I'm curious about a pre game(cp) and replay today of a water break during the Everton match(sky). Rodgers was very emotional with who I think was Praet on the sideline. Interesting stuff for Rodgers who usually is so calm.

Yes I noticed that also, didn't he get substituted shortly after that?

Thanks for responding. Maddison came on for him at the half. So it must have been the first break. Wish I could find video of that.

A bit late to discuss maybe but that "interchange" really blew my hair back. Especially watching Praet trying to knock him back. Perhaps Rodgers not always the mild mannered gent I thought him to be. Could feel the intensity.

Some times I can't help myself being a bit of a "Drama Queen"

I don't think it's a fitness issue - I think BR just doesn't want to use him for 90 minutes.

Genuine question: is this guy any better than Mendy? 

[Bryn]

I'm not a fan. Bang average. Versatile I guess as a squad player.

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Our best midfielder before the break, has been terrible since the restart. 

[lgfualol]

I think he hates Rodgers and it is affecting his play. 

[HybridFox]

hasn't been a threat for a number of games now. shoots from distance but no way near

Doesn’t look happy does he, he’s been so disappointing in his last 4/5 appearances.

[Hales]

He really doesn't look like a happy player at the moment. His reaction to Brendan in the drinks break was from a player that doesn't respect his manager, he has looked furious too when he has been taken off. Something has happened between the two of them...

I agree - would definitely not be surprised to see him move on. He wants to be playing and his form doesn’t say ‘play me’ or ‘I’m a safe pair of hands’.  After all, we could easily decide to go three in the middle and Dennis doesn’t currently seem motivated to be that man ahead of hamza. 

[Ric Flair]

Been very poor since the restart, overall he's had a half decent start to his career here.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Before he seemed to be cementing a starting place. But that form he was developing has been halted. Shame. It's been a crazy season this. Dennis needs to stay focussed and try harder. I'm just not sure how he fits into a 2 man cm partnership.

[That_Dude]

Seemed to me yesterday that he wasn't on the best terms with Rodgers. He's been anonymous since the restart. I hope it's temporary.

[TrentFox]

For me, I think he’s been anonymous since he arrived. I get that we all, myself included, desperately search for signs of brilliance. But the truth in my head is that he’s been virtually without influence in a game since joining. Not talking about can he run or pass. But influence. Like doing something that actually impacts the game. So very, very little by way of return. 

[Blanchflower78]

Rodgers lost his head with him at Everton, camera on it when he gave him a blast and thumbed him to the stands. Definitely something gone on as body language hard to ignore. Smell a quick summer sale back to Italy....

[Hales]

I like him and he has done some great things but something is not clicking between him and Brendan which is surprising given Brendan's man management skills. Dennis just looks thoroughly unhappy everytime I see him. That's sad to see and maybe he isn't in the position he thought he would be in? Maybe he isn't happy with warming the bench so much? He is subbed a lot when he starts and many times it has seemingly been unjustified. I don't think fitness is the issue so I feel like there is something going on between him and Brendan. He also doesn't seem to have fitted in with the team as much as others have e.g Perez and Youri.....

[Mapperleyfox]

He got off to a good start but seems to have regressed for some reason.

 

Last few performances off the bench have been shocking.

 

Wouldn't be a surprise to see him sold in the window.

[CosbehFox]

Could be a very important asset playing European football next season 

[Ian Nacho]

That shot in the second half

 

[Lesta2014]

I like him and hope he stays. Put in a big pre season and he will be like others have said important for the team! Hope him and rogers haven’t fell out!

He was brilliant at home to Newcastle and away at Villa in the league, there's been other very good performances or cameos but none since the restart. Sadly it feels his best form has been in early 2020 when as a whole the team nose dived and therefore his impact has been forgotten somewhat.

Ten out of ten for your powers of recall, Ric. Confess they’d slipped my mind. Sure I’m as guilty as everyone else of finding info that supports my beliefs.
