It's on the LeicestershireLive (Mercury) site. He uses the word "we" throughout, so I assume he's referring to the squad. My question is - if there really was a feeling of complacency in the squad pre-match, shouldn't Rodgers have picked up on it and put them straight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 6 March 2020 Share Posted 6 March 2020 Can we at least muster the courage, energy and motivation to beat these again this season? Don't approach the game as if it were a stroll, like we did in the cup matches. I've had enough of half-hearted performances in the league as of late. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the defence has been pretty good and, having looked at it, another 9 goals in that 'dire' period ( and that's only one every other game) could have gained us an extra 11 points and probably got us to a cup final! Maybe shows we should've got a loan striker in the january window. Shows our reliance on JV (only one Vardy goal in those 18 matches) Have you a particular decent loan striker in mind that would have come here and be an improvement? I'm sure this and permanent deals would have been considered but only the right player who'd be willing to come and who would be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't approach the game as if it were a stroll, like we did in the cup matches. I've had enough of half-hearted performances in the league as of late. Absolutely spot on, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's Rodgers himself who needs the biggest kick up the arse! Standing there writing copious notes like a redundant school teacher is all very well but he needs to stamp his feet a bit or change some of the players for some with a bit of grit and fight. Unless they are merely following his orders, in which case he's fast becoming duller than Puel with much better players. Something is clearly not right at the moment but i refuse to believe it's all down to confidence, that's a cop out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 6 March 2020 Share Posted 6 March 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, urban fox said: Yeah, maybe. Also perhaps he realises that he is not going to get into Southgate's thinking so has lost a bit of his Mojo? If he isn't in Southgate's thinking that's down solely to himself. He's not been playing well enough first and foremost and secondly, whatever our views on here are regards young players downtime, casinos and nightclubs and press coverage are a no no to the England manager and his stance. He probably comes across as an unprofessional immature nob that Southgate doesn't want to risk on tour. He's the author of his own fate and needs to wise up quickly. It's not what you do, it's what you're caught doing. Edited 6 March 2020 by volpeazzurro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 6 March 2020 Share Posted 6 March 2020 I would definitely go two up top in this. We need to get bodies in to the opposition box when attacking more. I'm sure the goals will come. Villa could be a few points adrift after the weekend so the pressure is on them. They need to come out and attack. Pace on the counter please Brendan. Based on fitness update today: Kasper Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Ndidi Tielemans Maddison Praet Iheanacho Vardy Subs: Ward, Justin, Morgan, Choudhury, Barnes, Albrighton, Perez. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Clender Posted 7 March 2020 Share Posted 7 March 2020 Hopefully the Brum win has placed a full stop at the end of that edgy spell post Villa semi loss. The signs are good from BR's presser, Vardy and Ndidi in, Maddison off the back of an encouraging step up against Birmingham, Chilwell injured . That said, if Chilwell is available, I still see him as the starting choice, if not, it's a classic game for Fuchs. I'm still not enough of a purist to see the true benefit of Praet in the starting 11, but I agree, he's played himself into the starting line-up from his recent displays. It's just that, as we're all aware, a fully firing Ndidi does allow Tielemans and Maddison to take up better positions, but purely on recent form, I'd stick with Praet over Tielemans. In terms of starting 11, again for me, it's all down to if Iheancho starts or not. If he doesn't, then it's the 4-3-3 standard. Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell/Fuchs Praet Ndidi Maddison Perez Vardy Barnes If he does, and I think he should. Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell/Fuchs Praet Ndidi Tielemans Maddison Vardy Iheanacho Albrighton and Ricardo up front if it's 0-0 on 80'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixtiesFox Posted 7 March 2020 Share Posted 7 March 2020 Forget this sideways and backwards low-risk approach we need to take the game to the opposition. Get up the field in numbers, with and without the ball. Rodgers must inspire some energy and fight to shake the lethargy that has infected the team. We need to play every game from here on in like it's a cup tie. We engineered the great escape when the odds were almost insurmountable so surely a more positive approach now should yield the 15 points we still need to take us to the promised land! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 7 March 2020 Share Posted 7 March 2020 Probably an unpopular opinion given the manner in which he left but I hope if Drinkwater plays on Monday that not only nobody boos him, but also that there's a round of "Here's to you Danny Drinkwater, Leicester loves you more than you will know" in support. He forced his way out to a club that could offer him more money, yes. But he's had a very difficult time of it since, professionally and personally, while we've used his sale to exponentially improve our squad and standing. Just sayin' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
