Brendan Rodgers

[Alrog]

The simplistic response to my earlier contribution - of facts - to the debate confirmed why I have avoided online ‘debate’. There is clearly not a direct correlation between financial expenditure and league position - or even in the result of any particular match….the current Man U team demonstrates that! 

 

However, it is not unreasonable to suggest, surely, that when the team with the 9th highest expenditure finishes 5th, it is performing well. And to expect a club to compete closely with teams with two-and-a-half times its budget is expecting quite a lot. The key word is “expecting”. I’m always hoping we’ll beat these teams, but don’t expect it….which makes the joy when we do all the more unconfined! 

 

As I have said, we have already shown that the impossible is possible….but not, I suspect on a regular basis.

Absolutely a balanced response, but your last paragraph should have ended with no harm in trying on a regular basis 👍

Perhaps we should just play wages ball then...

Ho ho ho that table is indicative of a transfer table also so my comment still stands of those that spend the most win the most

My apologies, Transfer ball, we could be at this all day, your comment has logic, but isnt the complete picture, we have proven that 3 times recently 👍

Ok yes we could and I accept there are once in a blue moon exceptions but just look at every league in the world and tell me if statistically the teams that spend the most aren’t sat within the top positions of that league every season 🤷‍♂️

But our recruitment hasn't been 'blue moon'. We're routinely buying players at a low price that are better than the tag indicates.

 

It's a flawed figure. Fofana is included in that total and we'd all agree he's worth much more than we paid.

Puel is back in town..... 

Da da da

[Bozman]

Brendon bringing Vardy on to save his job, shouldn't be any where near this game ffs..

[An Away Move]

Puel was more exciting. 

[Webbo]

Bring on the tw**fest. 

[Dames]

64% possession today, he’ll be near on creaming in his post match comments.

No negatives comments about Rodgers. Doesn't deserve any of it.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Regression regression regression

[Blue ROI]

Looking forward to how this one is glossed over......

[Jattdogg]

[BigGibbo]

60+% possession again.

 

He'll take that over a result every week.

 

He's the kind of manager to bollock the team for getting a win by ditching his game plan and acting on instinct.

[Jattdogg]

Bet he just slides it in and does a very slow back and forth for hours saying "shagged that for hours mate, smashed it!"

[Devonfox1884]

So boring, it’s becoming a chore to watch at the minute  

 

Hopefully we’re saving all our goals and entertainment for Roma.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Think Brendan needs a new challenge in his career plan. 

[jayfox26]

It's not even the results that bother me that much. If we'd got 2 points from Newcastle, Everton and Villa but played really well had loads of chances and just unlucky then it's disappointing but fair enough. To get 2 points off 3 absolutely woeful teams and barely create a single decent chance in any game is just unacceptable and utterly honking! Results are one thing, being entertained is a separate thing. You can accept playing shit when you're winning and accept dropping points when you are playing  well. We don't fall into either category as we are dropping points and playing some of the worst football I've ever seen

No excuses, we dont win something has to change. Manager, squad something cuz this cant  continue.

[Deeg67]

The only manager worse than the one who thinks he’s too good for you is the one who thinks he’s too good for you and isn’t.

[Sir Shep]

Just looked at the start of this thread, compared to now, chalk and cheese! Just shows how far we have regressed since the FA cup final. 

[honeybradger]

alright with vardy back we finally have a pretty much full squad apart from ndidi, are criticisms of his pointless, non productive tactic of passing it sideways until we concede finally valid?

I feel like I’m being summoned - like if you say Beetlejuice three times.
