Slavia Prague Post match - 2-0

[Genesis1]

So are we blaming a poor performance or Rodgers throwing the goal in with a poor team selection??

[foxinsox]

The only good thing is no injuries.

 

What is the point of European football without an effort to progress. Like Brighton, teams know how to stop us.

[Simonb]

Dreadful from start of the first leg to the end of the second 

 

No excuses now about matches building up, top 4 has to happen... Bunch of bottlers tonight 

[jim5000]

Prague schooled us over both legs. It was always a worry when we didn’t get the away goal.

 

Rodgers to blame for the stodgy line-up tonight. Not a single chance created over two legs. 
 

At least we can now lose to Utd in the cup and focus fully on top 4 and strengthen in the summer.

I'm gonna go have a smoke and smash the mrs plant pots up then go bed 

[daddylonglegs]

Our squad Players are pish. Choudhury & under are championship level. Making a reckless tackle and shooting from 40 yards doesn’t make you an interesting prospect, it makes you bang average. 

[EnglishOxide]

Finally we can focus on qualifying for Europe now that we are out of Europe.

If this is how Rodgers is going to approach European competition going forward he can f**k off to Tottenham where that kind of shit is tolerated. 

All cup competitions. He has never advanced past rd of 32 in any.

Pathetic performance nobody can come out of the game with any credit.
Really disappointed with Rodgers, team selection was wrong and took him too long to change things.

[st albans fox]

On the plus side, we can actually see some free weeks ahead .......

[KingsX]

You could almost look at this and think we were in that match ...

 

 

... if you hadn't watched it

[StanSP]

Very poor. 

Fatigued. 

Should have made changes at half time. 

Couldn't break a team down who sits back and hits on the break. 

Some players under-performing. 

Hope it's not a collapse and a signal for the rest of the season. 

 

I don't buy that we're mentally weak or bottled anything. A mentally weak side doesn't get to 2nd/3rd in the league or even get through to the knockouts of Europe. There'll be a lot of knee-jerk sensationalism based on one performance tonight, as terrible as it was. But I'm guessing a lot of it is borne out of frustration and anger and disappointment. 

 

[SeCrEt FoX]

Awful over both legs. Should have won it away. No urgency at all tonight. Its as though they couldn't be arsed. Simple as that! 

[filbertway]

Also fair play to Prague.

 

A decent team will batter them at their own stadium but theyll give anyone a tough game on their own patch. Good luck to them

We've gone all spursy.....again.

Nah we ain’t Spurs mate 

[FuriousFox46]

Completely wrong application. It’s worrying how often our tempo is out of kilter with the pattern of the match.

 

I think as a club we’ve been too cocky here. Yes, we have a better team on paper but not playing your best players in this game to save them for just another league game is either madness or arrogance.

 

In perspective, we’re having a magnificent season but this is a huge opportunity wasted and we can only blame ourselves for it.

[kristianity77]

I said last week that it was one of, if not the worst performances I'd ever seen and this week beats it.  That was absolutely appalling and the players and Rodgers should be disgusted with that.

 

Also, I'll be the one to say it, but I think Vardy is on the downward spiral.  If he's injured, I just don't see him getting back to where he has been.  He has lost something in these last 3 months, desire?  Pace?  Confidence? All three?

 

  

[moore_94]

Brendan bottled making a change that was needed at half time, but not a single player in blue on that pitch tonight made me think they were actually putting the effort in to and win that. Absolutely shameful performance.

[Corky]

A dreadful evening, we were second best all over the pitch. As soon as we conceded it was done.

 

Nobody should be happy we are out, nobody should like anything about that performance.

 

I'm concerned it will affect the players along with the injuries.

[bixente]

Neutral signing in here. Sorry about the defeat. Salvia are indeed a very good team. I recall even when drawn in a very strong CL group with Inter, Barca and Dortmund, they managed a bunch of results for themselves and weren't disgraced like many assumed.

[FantasticMrFox&Son]

Well done Brendan, thrown a tie in a competition we were never going to win.

Team selection and performance both dogshit.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

 

 

[Ashley]

We had enough quality on the pitch to beat them from the off. Let's be honest.

 

We however were shit tonight and didn't look much better when the subs came on. 

 

Some massive massive over reactions on the match thread. It isn't that bad ffs. Give your heads a wobble. 

[Angus Scott]

Ah that old chestnut, we are tired. Nothing to do then with terrible team selection & our fringe players not being any good

[Scotch]

There is something that all managers and players always say and thats "focus on one game at a time".... What happened to that tonight. 

 

He clearly picked that team with Arsenal in mind and if we don't win on Sunday after sacrificing our place in the Europa then it will make tonight's result 10x worse.

[Will1981]

garbage in the 1st half, no changes at half time go 1-0 down take 15 mins to make the changes then even worse for the last 30 mins.
