No, we’ll still have the obvious squad and financial issues, but it’s clear that the players need a confidence boost and a change of manager with new ideas should do that. Despite the clear imbalances, this is still at top 10 squad. They need a manager who will support them and motivate them to get that confidence back. Rodgers is doing neither at the minute. 3

A league 1 manager would have this squad playing better. I’ll take anyone just to get this clown out. Zero chance of this being turned around, how are people still saying this FFS. Whilst I personally think he has to go as he stepped over the line repeatedly in his interviews and I think he has as many limitations as talent we need to be mindful that sacking brings issues too! who will we get and what will they do is risky too - it does not take much when your 5 games in for that to become 10 or 12 and we are then probably relegated - I am not as sure as many that this squad is that good - we have a few talents but do does every prem side - we don’t look fit, organised or have any pace or energy so whoever walks in needs experience, credibility a clear plan and can hit the ground running - who is there and who would want to come ? I agree with you 100% he has to go but it’s no way a certainty things will get better!

I dont think so but it probably changes the dynamic from a team who might flirt with relegation to one that finishes 'boringly' 12th instead of one challenging for the european places.

He has sucked the confidence out of the players but banging on about this refresh since Forest away. This is largely the same squad that finished 5th, 5th and 8th. 2

Most of them will be, yes. Assuming we hire someone reasonably competent, tactically and motivationally. I’m shocked you’re even asking. It’s blatantly obvious that we are being hindered significantly by our manager. 1 1

I agree with you 100% he has to go but it’s no way a certainty things will get better! But if we get rid we have a chance of staying up. If we stick with him we’re going down. Last 2 home games our only shots on target have been 25-30 yard free kicks, it’s sickening. If we give Rodgers another 7 games it’ll too late and we’ll be down. A decision has got to be made in the couple of week, if we leave it until the WC break we’ll be miles behind 17th. 1

StonyFox Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Since we beat Liverpool we've played 25 league matches and picked up 28 points. That would be enough to stay up over a season, but when you look at the teams we've beaten in that period, most have either been relegated or have recently been promoted....with palace and Southampton improving since we beat them. Burnley, Norwich, Watford, Brentford, Leeds, palace and Southampton. I would say we've not had a "good win" for over half a season now. Surely anyone in charge must be seeing this and know we're on course for relegation without a change. It's not just a poor start to the season, it's been poor for a long time! 1 1
Mike Oxlong Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 One shot on target v Southampton. No touches in the opposition box during the first half last night. Regardless of the result there’s so few positives to take from watching us at the moment 2
BrianBeane Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 On the evidence that I can see in his interviews, Rodgers is now acting solely out of self-preservation. His number 1 priority is his own reputation and protecting that, hence the way he is acting in the media who are enabling him to do this by not holding him to account. Whilst he peddles his own narrative that the media are happily lapping up, the reality is he has been significantly backed by the ownership for the vast majority of his time here. We are now seeing his priorities play out on the pitch with negative, fearful tactics and hesitant substitutions. It really does feel like he just wants his pay out, the players must be so devoid of confidence right now. Time to say thank you for some amazing memories, but now it's time for someone with fresh energy who wants to be here. 2
Dahnsouff Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Please don't think I (am making one last attempt) to defend him, he really needs to go, but I am just asking as I think the problem is notw ingrained to degree, however a fresh perspective should start a turnaround (surely!!) 1
FoxyJim1987 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 46 minutes ago, Bilo said: For me, just as we have luxury players in football, Rodgers is a luxury manager. When confidence was high and the results were flowing, the football we played was undeniably gorgeous. Positive, incisive, ruthless and exciting; we could have beaten anyone. We frequently did. He is worse than useless when the chips are down. He cannot win ugly, motivate a struggling team or raise the confidence of out-of-form players. We need a manager, at least in the short term, who can do that. It's why I wouldn't approach Pochettino even if he would come here. Our players are unsuited to Dyche or Allardyce ball. We've probably missed the boat on Potter unless we pay him Rodgers money, and I doubt we take that gamble again. I'd honestly appoint someone like De Zerbi or Fischer from Union Berlin; they're managers who've taken smaller clubs with small budgets by the scruff of the neck in Serie A and the Bundesliga respectively to disproportionate success. Absolutely brilliant post. Never thought of it like this before, but you're spot on. A luxury manager. He cannot adapt to a different rougher style to win points and cannot adapt in a game either to react to what the opponents are doing. We saw against Brentford and Saints, when they upped the ante and made changes he had no answer at all. Last night when we needed fresh impetus, more forward bodies, he didn't respond early enough. We have 5 subs, use them. KDH had his worst game for us I've seen, but wasn't pulled. What's the point of having Praet, Albrighton, Perez etc and never bringing them and on.

Popular Post UniFox21 Posted 2 September 2022 Popular Post Posted 2 September 2022 "I've not been backed" is the message BR is peddling around currently. But, to everyone looking on, that simply isn't the case. We've broken transfer fees, wage fees and manager fees for this man. We've signed player after player after player, to support this man. He had an entire rejig of our backroom staff and key personnel to be to his liking. But, he's throwing his toys out the pram. Look at the side from last night, lacking everything a Leicester side from the last half a decade has had. No passion, no drive, no one pressuring the hell out of the opposition. I don't care how much money you're spending, those 3 are absolutely required. No amount of money is fixing that, that comes from the man and the staff in charge. That blame comes down the one, the manager. And frankly, listening to him blame the board week after week is not good enough. in the past we'd have used these situations to have a us Vs the rest of the league mentality. Instead, Rodgers has started a him Vs the board row. I think it's time for a change. 5 1

Rusko187 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 I am totally understanding of the transfer activity, I do think we have enough in the club to stay up. The manager however has to go, that needs to be addressed today… if it doesn’t, I’ll begin questioning the board.
Vazman Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 1 hour ago, Dahnsouff said: Agree with @Mickyblueeyes Brendan is an issue, he cannot setup a team properly anymore, and what on Earth do we do in training? However, to put all failures at his door is wrong imo, transfers are required to refresh and renew competition. Saying that, Brendan is still the biggest issue as if a scenario is failing - CHANGE IT He has had transfers, what use are they sat on the bench, he is alienating players, I cant get over how bad Ndidi, and Soyunchu look these days, a poor tradesman always blames his tools, and that's exactly what he is doing, with a fresh outlook and input from a manager that genuinely wants to be here will see a resurgence on those so called out of form head turned players, he sees fit to bench in favour of his reckless management of what were, quality in form players. There are other factors yes, but his loyalty to the club, Top and everyone else should see him get on with what he has and prove his points through continued effort, instead of sulking and negativity which is having a detrimental effect on performance.

Well you have to define what the problems are. Given Brendan Rodgers is a problem right now, that problem could be resolved by a change. A new manager could, depending on whether they’re any good or not, provide the fresh impetus that the squad needs. If you can’t refresh the players, refresh the coaching team. Different ideas, fewer biases. Rodgers clearly needs some time off for his own mental sanity. He’s acting like someone heading for burnout. He’s backed himself into a corner wrt players his mindset on what we can do tactically and individual players.

Actually, yes. Because for me the number one biggest problem is psychological. Morale, confidence, the spirit of the squad is absolutely unbelievably shot. The new manager bounce any club gets is all about that and so actually, to an extent, I can see it "magically" improving, even just with a caretaker in charge. 5 1

coolhandfox Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 (edited) 4 CM didn't work, so he played 5 CM. Wonder how he will shoehorn 6 CM in against Brighton. Go back to basics and play the one of Albrighton or Perez on the RW, gives us more balance and a better shape. Edited 2 September 2022 by coolhandfox 1 1
