HighPeakFox Posted 11 February 2023 Share Posted 11 February 2023 11 minutes ago, MPH said: it would be foolish to change a team that just made the 5th placed team look very ordinary. Their defense was terrible but we suffocated them in midfield and up front. But this is Rodgers we are talking about and he’ll change a team on a whim. Will he, or are you just saying stuff? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom12345 Posted 11 February 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 11 February 2023 One thing he does not get much praise for - he makes his teammates look good. He presents options for them to pass or evade defenders because of his positioning. This is why we play so much better collectively with him. I hope he gets to be a main stayer in the first team. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 11 February 2023 Author Share Posted 11 February 2023 I hope MOTD identify his influence today. Almost an unsung hero in the team while the likes of Maddison and Iheanacho rightly get plaudits too. His work rate, tackling, covering, intercepting and recycling the ball was class today. Excelled in his role for the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 11 February 2023 Share Posted 11 February 2023 Very Kante like and needs a good run in the team. Apart from a few misplaced passes he had an excellent game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 11 February 2023 Share Posted 11 February 2023 Rodgers comes across as the sort of person who would only admit he is wrong if confronted with instruments of torture. But his prolonged lack of belief in Mendy - and Nacho for that matter - is surely something that he must now privately be questioning himself about. Both players have invariably been worth their place whenever selected. And today the two of them were colossal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget players also evolve..lets see which direction Brendan plans for us,what goodies this helps Brendan display in this squad,plus later not for now,any descision on Tete,and other star players staying. players evolve? He’s been here a few years now and Ndidi is a great, but one dimensional CDM. If he was going to evolve he would have done so by now. Rodgers has been here 3 years and he’s shown no sign of ‘ evolving’ so what makes you think that is suddenly going to change?

Stinkenzo Posted 11 February 2023 Share Posted 11 February 2023 It's a bit odd that a guy who has been the literal definiton of bit-part player for us in nearly 7 seasons here has one great game and suddenly we must offer him a new contract? I haven't seen the game today and fair play to the guy if he played as well as others are saying, i've nothing against him but he's been here long enough now and showed glimpses like today how often? We offered him a new contract a few years back near his original expiry because we couldn't get a replacement in no? And soon went back to being in the shadows. Chances are the same will happen if we extend again 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywood_6 Posted 11 February 2023 Share Posted 11 February 2023 Good game today and the goal was outstanding but he did give it away twice on the edge of our area. Some people seem to make out he never gives the ball away, which just isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people seem to make out he never gives the ball away, which just isn't the case. It was a fascinating game because Spurs were pretty awful both at the back AND going forward today. If you watched the game you’d have seen they fluffed two very decent chances before they scored. Defensively we were all over the place for the first 10/15 mins. And in the second half they created nothing really. I recollect Mendy giving it away in dangerous areas at least once and Spurs did nothing with it. One player I’ve always thought is ridiculously overrated is Dier. God knows how he’s made the England squad so many times? He was absolutely pants today as was Pedro Porro whose game, by the way, is not suited to the pace of the Premiership.

Man of the match and easily his best performance for us. The amount of work he got through was incredible but to say he never makes mistakes is mental. There were two really bad ones today. One stray pass in each half that really should have led to goals had their attackers been on it. I'm not saying that to diminish his performance because they ended up meaning nothing but I just think that you're getting a little carried away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg. How many matches do you watch where Kane doesn’t have at least one shot on goal? ie. A balanced assessment of the game.
