LCFCCHRIS Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 (edited) Kept thinking the video had froze then I realized that's just Brendan putting on his mannequin Impression... In seriousness really sounds like he's as frustrated as us in regards to signings. Edited 11 September 2020 by LCFCCHRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyJim1987 Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 The release of the squad numbers shows the reality of how poor our squad is. 3 or 4 injuries and we are screwed. So many question marks over the team and squad. Who is first choice LB? Castagne? Luke flipping Thomas? We are starting a Premier league game with the prospect of a midfielder playing centre half. Whilst still the likes of Mendy, Matt James, Morgan, who should have been moved on and out ages ago are still part of the squad. We are playing European football, and it's a bit worrying. I get we don't want to pay mega bucks but the squad is looking thin in numbers and quality and Rodgers even is admitting it. Can't see anything other than a disjointed loss, would be happy with a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then West Brom get on top and score 1-0. Second half, come out firing for 20 minutes, again lack of quality, miss one sitter. Then game dies off. West Brom score 2-0 in last 10 mins. Apart from that, you're looking forward to the match, I can tell... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 main takeaways from it:- 1 - from the written press, I thought they were stirring a bit and reading too much into the words in their articles, but watching that, **** me, the man seems livid about transfer/squad depth situation! I like that 2 - Ian stringer, that man has balls of steel. No wonder big nige didn't like him, looks uncomfortable but fair play to stringer, he asks the questions we want answers to (and some silly ones like re covid and also tops financial position) and tbf to Rodgers, he doesn't just give the usual platitudes. His reaction to transfers/squad depth, coupled with the links makes me optimistic that this could be our best window in loving memory! Obviously, no-one knows what to expect, and I don't think any result would surprise us on Sunday, but the favourable early fixture list is certainly navigable if the current players hit their stride early, with plenty of time still left til the window closes. Bring it on. Edited 11 September 2020 by gw_leics772 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathrow fox Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Hopefully he’s put to bed any debate on the futures of Slim and Silva,for those who can’t see the obvious.They will not play for Leicester again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Didn't really seem like he gave a shit about West Brom in terms of having watched them play! I think it's all about 'imposing our style'. He didn't seem like a bundle of enthusiasm to be fair and a little frustrated perhaps but its encouraging that clearly he wants to do business in this window, so fingers crossed.

SuperMike Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 West Brom will be really up for this. They'll be in our faces all match, they'll win every 50-50 ball and will win the game without having to show too much class. If he plays, Austin will definately score!

Happy Fox Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Won’t be easy! Personally speaking I hope we go attack minded and play Nacho and Vardy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Well no such thing as a home advantage these days so we'll have to take the fight to them. Always positive for the first few games of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Danny Clender Posted 12 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 12 September 2020 I'm sure it's a stage I'm going through in life and I'm just approaching those cantankerous steps of mid-life, but I'm finding myself increasingly disagreeing with so much in the world at the moment, including LCFC. I didn't think Rodgers came across as angry, annoyed, or even "clearly frustrated" in his presser. I saw straight openness, honesty and he gave a clear admission of the current situation, sure that includes frustration, but that's obvious, not sensational. In the context of challenging on 4 competitions, we all know we aren't strong enough and depth is a challenge. 3 competitions? maybe, with a huge amount of luck, just. 2 competitions? Yes, with the right additions and injury table returnees. 1 competition? absolutely, once they're all back into the system. I know the news and media takes us deliberately in that direction, but he did also state how excited the players are, how prepared they are, how they've all moved on from last season, how he'll be able to field a competitive team etc. I know all the amateur LCFC Directors of Football on here are unhappy at the minute, but I don't see their judgements as an overall realistic assessment of our situation. After BR's words, I'm now feeling the groove returning for tomorrow. For now, there's still a strong squad to choose from and I reckon we'll be back into our traditional spirit, even if Ndidi is in the back 3 or 4. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichfox Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 The question that keeps cropping up in my mind with regards to the City is "can we afford to loose the 4 games until transfer business is all done and still be challenging for a European slot for the following season?" I think that we can given the end of season we have just endured suffered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 BR needs to get a grip and inject some positivity into the club. Yes the window has been frustrating but we start the season with 2 winnable games. He's spent the last 6 months looking like the world is conspiring against him when he's the one with more control over players and performances than anyone. Starting to think he'll be a walking, talking excuse machine this year. Doesn't he love developing players? Invest your time in them whilst the board sort transfers.

Hopefully the frustrations will make him reflect on things and bring out his best qualities as a coach and manager. I think we will win the first 2 league games. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's targeting frustration at people, he should be looking at himself bbefore other people. His team flunked a 14point CL gap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
