Pliskin Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 2 minutes ago, Babylon said: Problem is, we don’t even play the defensive game well. I agree we don’t. But there are a few weaknesses out there that perhaps Rodgers just won’t drop. I do agree that he approaches these games passively, and pretty much always badly. But I feel he looks at these teams and just thinks “we’re not good enough to play them at their game” so in a way doesn’t bother. I mean you can attack them and lose, and sit off them and definitely lose, because this is exactly how city want you to play them. We used to actually be a thorn in city’s side by pressing them and playing on the front foot.... so far we’re just giving them the ball back at will...

egg_fried_rice Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 I understand a defensive approach, and playing the game in different phases (e.g. coming out our shells more after a set period of time), but you have to strike a balance, and for me the balance is wrong at the moment. On the positive, we have looked promising on a couple of counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 27 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 27 September 2020 I think what makes this so painful for all of us is that these games used to be our bread and butter. Right from our first season back and 5-3 we've been a threat that made the big boys uncomfortable. Ranieri understood when he took over that there were good things here and that he had to build on them, not dismantle them. I respect that Rodgers had a mandate to make us more capable of breaking down shit teams and I love that he's really helped us do that. But even Puel had the good sense to know this squad already had the raw ingredients to play "our way" and let us press and counter against these. It shouldn't be impossible for Rodgers to let us go out and beat WBA and Burnley as we just have but then swap that to the Leicester City that terrified Man City several times in recent years. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 27 September 2020 Share Posted 27 September 2020 For all the knocking of the tactics I’d argue it’s somewhat working. Compact deep block and looking to hit them on the break with Barnes and Vardy. Take the goal out out of it and we’ve restricted the chances they’ve made. But of course the fact is we are behind and it feels like we aren’t even competing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
