I genuinely think football has just passed him by. If you look at top level possession-based manager i.e. Guardiola, Arteta and even the likes of De Zerbi, there's so much more emphasis on rotation and positioning to break the opposition down. They are also so much more intense hen they don't have the ball. He's looking more and more like yesterday's man. 

Thin this is exactly it.

Joe Hart to retire then, for me he could have easily become one of the best goalkeepers in Europe but i dunno for some reason it was one error after another. Between 2009-2012 he was englands best goalkeeper. After that he was terrible.

Pretty funny article, Rodgers defending Celtic's style of play as 'basically the same' as Postecoglou despite an obvious drop-off in intensity and with a new tagline of being considered 'easy to play against'.

 

Considering Ange's whole style revolves around a tight press and constant pressure, that surely points to players simply not putting in as much effort?

 

Anybody would think he's not a good man-manager / motivator...

Great goal from Motherwell. Rodgers' first reaction is to look at a video.

[Vacamion]

 

Motherwell want it more, so far.

Ah typical.  They may just have saved Brendan's bacon.

Oh well. Keep papering over those cracks. Just like he did with us.

 

Death by a thousand cuts.

[filbertway]

It really is quite funny reading their forum. 

 

Almost exactly the same phrases being used to describe his team. "Papering over the cracks", "Bailed out", "Slow and predictable"

Didn't he make a sexist remark to a female reporter whilst at Liverpool iirc?..

Gucci belt Gucci belt, Brendan Rodgers, Gucci belt Gucci belt, I say, Gucci belt Gucci belt, Brendan Rodgers, playing football the losing way

The football media darling is now top of fold news on the Daily Mail website. Someone wants him sacked from Celtic, and are willing to do it the dirty way.

That's just the media attention that anyone connected to the OF get in Scotland. It's something that not a lot of clubs in England can understand but it's not unusual for Rangers/Celtic players to make the front pages as well as the back for the smallest of things up here.

Well, there’s no doubting that Rodgers is a very small thing..

Will Neil Warnock last the season at Aberdeen?

He's a clown. He will end up taking us down. 

 

Can't wait for the cirus to leave town, hopefully asap. 

[Super_horns]

He seemed to take the job without really knowing anything about the squad or league .

Much like Derek Adams .

[filbertway]

As soon as the pressure is off and there's nothing to lose, they rack up a 7-1 win. He's so insanely predictable haha. The man's teams consistently crumble under any pressure in a sporting sense. It's only by about 5mm that we didn't go into extra time with 7 defenders on the pitch and one of them being and injured Wes Morgan, in the FA Cup. Liverpool bottling a title that was harder to lose. Us bottling top 4 when massive favourites. 

 

He's a hell of charmer and snake oil sales man, but he's clearly an awful man manager (other than showering players in money so they like him).

When was the last time an old firm game was a title decider? 

Second last game of the season should be tasty , looking at the fixtures you'd back both teams to win their 3 games before that.

 

So could be Rangers lifting the title against Celtic at Ibrox. Which might well be the funniest ****ing thing ever (linked to brendan...)
