Not really neither are capable of scoring goals really but I take what you mean a slightly more direct in reality you would need to play both of them together to get a return
martyn Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 I don't think Rodgers can be blamed too much for today. There were so many individual errors leading to their goals. I thought he was right to go to a back 5, but we didn't make that dominance in the second half pay and then got stuffed by a sucker punch. Having Ndidi and Vardy out is bad at the best of times, but they would have made a massive difference against this Leeds team. 3
Ian Nacho Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Think the initial shape was wrong but he can’t be blamed for individual errors.
winteriscoming Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 We need to finish this season strongly. Gotta be looking at finishing top 4. If we collapse like last season he will continue to be known as a nearly man and his reputation will be affected. You can guarantee the players will be thinking about last season after today’s result.
Popular Post Leicester_Loyal Posted 31 January 2021 Popular Post Posted 31 January 2021 Lets not turn on Rodgers again after one poor performance, he's arguably the best we're going to get, he does have his flaws as will every single manager that comes here. The most important thing in the next 6 months is that we start hunting for a Vardy back up/long term replacement, immediately. 11

I'm usually annoyed after losing but I'm not today, I felt we didn't play too badly and lost massive players that would've helped us hugely. It was a tight game that went against us. Far better than the no-shows against West Ham and Fulham. 1
splinterdream Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Rodgers is class, I hate Leeds and it hurt today but we are not the finished article, I don't think this is the total squad Rodgers wants, he's having to be patient though, today we missed timmy, wilf and vardy, we'll put 6 past Fulham with a nacho and Perez hatrick in a 4-4-2 formation #keepthefaith

From start to finish Classic Foxestalk, oh we lost, aaaargh I'm angry, let's write shit in the Rodgers thread. So bored of this appearing at the top of the topic list every time we lose. Please explain constructively what you would have done which would have led to a different result, enlighten us with your supreme tactics. 2 1
Popular Post StanSP Posted 1 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 1 February 2021 Wasn't sure where else to put this but I'm hoping it stops the pessimism (not necessarily in this thread but just generally). I've got a feeling we're all angered more about the effects of losing Ndidi and Vardy as opposed to the loss itself yesterday. Anyway, everyone always trots out form tables when we're in bad 'relegation' form so thought might as well do it for the alternative scenario i.e. Being in good form. Before yesterday it was 12 games in all competitions unbeaten. In the last 6 league games, it's 11 points. 4th in the form table. In the last 10 league games, it's 18 points. 4th in the form table. Basically things aren't as bad as a lot are making out. The other bonus being that Ndidi and Vardy (hopefully) aren't going to be out long term and will be back soon, which Rodgers will be the first one to be glad about. Especially if they're back for Wolves and Liverpool games. It was one loss yesterday, as crap as it was, but we're still a good team, managed by a decent manager and 4th in the table on merit, not by fluke or luck. We deserve to be where we are and that's not a bad thing right now. 3 4
Guest Manini Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 I can’t see how Rodgers can be blamed for us completely shitting the bed when we don’t have N’didi in the midfield. I saw a stat earlier on that our win % when he isn’t playing is something like 21%....****ing laughable really and goes to show that in some areas our squad is paper thin. And he’ll realise that as well I’m certain. He can’t magic a solution out of thin air and can you imagine the pelters he’d have got if he played two midfielders in front of the back 4 yesterday?! Its on the recruitment team. We’ve had so many opportunities to plan for the eventualities of players getting injured and bolstering our squad in key areas such as the midfield and attack. As much as they deserve the absolute rimming they get for the defensive options we have they should be criticised for not taking care of the above.

Or we just have to accept that despite our recent rise to the top half of the PL, we're still not able to have like for like replacements waiting in the wings. It's extraordinary what we have achieved in defense, but you look at our options in midfield (Ndidi, Mendy, Tielemans, Praet, Maddison, Choudhury, James (loan) & KDH (loan)) and we have to shift someone out before bringing someone in surely. Unfortunately, we've been burdened by Slimani and two big investments in Iheanacho and Perez, so again it might well be the case we need to shift one out to allow one in on long-term deal.
Collymore Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Wonder what he'll say tomorrow about transfers. Probably wont learn a lot, just generic sound bites no doubt...
Gav_LCFC14 Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 In the summer he said we needed 5 players in, we only signed 3. This window he said we need an attacking mid, we bring in no one.

Frustrating but it is what it is unfortunately. 2

Also the more players you sign in a window typically the more turn out to be donkeys.

Guest SO1 Posted 4 February 2021 Posted 4 February 2021 Never once did I ever hear Rodgers criticize Celtic for lack of ambition. Ever. Find me a quote.

That was before James Justin turned into prime Cafu, Barnes found his scoring touch, and Dan Amartey proved himself to be a worthy sub. Those three players may have changed the transfer strategy. 2
