Not necessarily, Yes Chelsea have a good squad, but a lot of them are on new contracts so difficult to move on. And they may not suit Brendans requirements. Arsenal are in disarray, with many of the squad in disagreement with the manager and each other. Anything is possible,I just don't see it happening. He can achieve it all here.
Popular Post Stadt Posted 9 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 9 January 2021 Rodgers’ commitment to the cups deserves praise. Would have been easy for him to have played a weaker team today 12
Corky Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Only the Mail but it seems Rodgers isn't on Chelsea's list of potential new managers. He's moulded us very well and has coped with the tighter schedule this year.
Tielemans63 Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 (edited) Some of the football we've played these past two seasons has been sensational. Love the way we play under Rodgers. We're clearly a very well-coached side. Edited 9 January 2021 by Paddy. 4
David Hankey Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Rodgers is moving this Club in the right direction so why would he want to move with all this talent at his disposal?
winteriscoming Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 The football we play under Rodgers when we’re at it is sensational. I fancy us to win the fa cup if we were drawn away in every round. If we can start getting results at home and we’ll need to - next 2 games are at home Southampton and Chelsea then it will look really good for us. 1
Voll Blau Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 I know Liverpool put out a reasonable side yesterday but I don't think anyone else this weekend will set out their stall to win the Cup quite like we have today. As @Stadtpoints out, it's great to see our manager behave in that fashion.

The team from the management, to the coaches to players seems a close knit group and they clearly listen to him and trust him. I don't get arrogance from him at all. Seems a genuine and nice guy.

StanSP Posted 16 January 2021 Posted 16 January 2021 Love his comments about turning the lack of celebrations due to COVID into a positive Players have bought into it too. 1
Guest SO1 Posted 16 January 2021 Posted 16 January 2021 Nice to see another Brendan Rodgers Project (Stuart Armstrong) doing well. But not well enough.
Aus Fox Posted 16 January 2021 Posted 16 January 2021 Great management of Fofana today, now he needs to get on the training pitch with him tomorrow and talk him through what happened and where he can improve.
Corky Posted 16 January 2021 Posted 16 January 2021 I really like his "get on with the job" mentality at the moment. He hasn't made excuses, he's rotated and adjusted where necessary. 2

There's a perception that he loves himself - and maybe his David Brent style at times in the past led to that - but from a media perspective, he's always very easy to deal with, open and honest, and when you speak to players (privately as well as publicly) they all seem to buy into his methods and enjoy his coaching and man management. He'll get team selections and tactics wrong from time to time (as all managers do) and maybe shouldn't get quite the OTT reactions on here if things don't go well. The past few years on the field - plus the incredible work from the owners off it - has to be the best in our history. Said it many times, enjoy these moments. 3 3
Babylon Posted 17 January 2021 Posted 17 January 2021 Can’t expect any more really, second half of last season was a disappointment, but everyone has learnt from it, which is all you can ask. He’s doing a grand job. Although personally there seems a connection missing that makes you really love a manager (MON, Pearson). Not that it matters, plus it’s difficult to build that not being able to go down. 2

Pearson’s arrogance is why we’ll never go up Pearson is to arrogant to change the team and will take us down Claudio is too arrogant he we will take us down Puel.... Rodgers [insert managers name here] If I’m honest I’m not even sure what people mean when they use arrogance as a negative with managers of any professional sportsperson. 3

The way O’Neil jumped around the touch line you could see he cares and he felt like one of us, Pearson likewise though not as animated as MON. Rodgers is a bit more professional (for want of a better word) a mix of MON and Ranieri, with the way he man manages and approaches the media. The best of both or worst of both depending on what you like. 1

Yeah maybe.I suppose it being a bigger journey under those two helps. And they both let the mask slip as well if you know what I mean, Rodgers is very measured and professional with the media, as Aus Fox said. Something nice about a manager showing emotion, adds a human element. Keep winning and I don’t care anyway, it’s not a personality contest!

Rodgers [insert managers name here] If I’m honest I’m not even sure what people mean when they use arrogance as a negative with managers of any professional sportsperson. It's one of those criticisms that don't really mean all that much when you think about it but are easy to throw around if you decide you don't like a manager for whatever reason and don't agree with their decisions. Same as "he's got his favourites" - well yeah, obviously he does, they're the ones he thinks he can rely on to do what he wants. I would frankly be quite worried if he wasn't a bit arrogant. I can't see how you could possibly manage at the highest level of football, or any sport, or probably any industry at all for that matter, without having immense reserves of self-belief and great confidence in the way you try to do things. If Rodgers found himself wracked with doubt after every little failure then I don't suppose he'd have made it very far. 2 1
SemperEadem Posted 17 January 2021 Posted 17 January 2021 Do hope a few more vocally support him when we are back in the ground. Always felt like it was a little half arsed when singing his name. 1

Regularly accused of being arrogant yet I can’t remember him moaning about a referee or fixture congestion since being here. If he has, he’s never laboured the point such as a number of top managers like too Edited 17 January 2021 by Cardiff_Fox 1
