Rusko187 Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 Not to absolutely nail him for everything, but why make the Fofana training with U23s public knowledge? Surely that weakens our bargaining position! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the new manager and Martyn Glover the recruitment guy get us back on track, on and off the field. This is it. I think the same. In Feb there is clear direction, not only from the Brendan but also the club that 4/5 players are needed. Including articles for normal reliable sources. That changes significantly and immediately as we hit the summer. Congerton leaves. The club stick by their valuation for players even those deemed surplus. Top doesn’t trust Brendan with the cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on the club's position and that of the owners, club directors/executives and the playing management is that Rodgers is negatively influencing the Club's position by his increasing inability to admit to himself that he's having less-and-less success at maintaining a reasonable position in the Prem. He might not run the club, but he's certainly causing it to run less than smoothly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakemoore Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 Thing is - we were so good under him for the first two seasons. What’s happened? I don’t get it. I want him out as much as the next person but it’s the same squad. How have things gone so wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim5000 Posted 23 August 2022 Share Posted 23 August 2022 Really feels like the end of the Puel rein. Stodgy, slow, possesion football with no penetration, poor results. Saturday felt like when we lost to Cardiff at home in the 89th minute, and tonight felt like losing to to Newport County in the FA Cup (even though we won tonight on penalties). The system is stale, the results are poor, the weaknesses haven't been addressed for over 12 months now, morale and fight is non-existant, and there is no sign of anything changing. Another 10 matches and we could be rock of the league and heading for the Championship. At least Puel left a decent squad for the next guy, Rodgers will leave nothing apart from Vestergaard (still on 3 years when the new manager starts). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him out as much as the next person but it’s the same squad. How have things gone so wrong? I’d disagree. I watched a lot of games in that time that were boring, plus the typical implosion / bottling when it got tough. I’d say at a guess, I’ve enjoyed about 10-15% of the games he’s been in charge. All personal opinions of course but I haven’t seen a huge difference in style compared to Puel, which is a style I hate. At the time however, I was just relieved Puel had been sacked… so I accepted it. But deep down, I knew what we were getting from some of the borefests I’d watched him manage Celtic for.

Popular Post AS78UK Posted 23 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 August 2022 We seriously lost our identity under Rodgers. For a team known for its fast counter attacking football and for its shrewd transfers signings. We appear to become a toothless possession based team who have lost there reputation for buying quality players before they hit the mainstream. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under his tenure though he has bought 10 players costing over £200m, and of those 10 players he hardly plays 6 of them. in his 25 man prem squad this season plus Ricardo, we have 4 players that have came through the academy and out of the remaining 22 nearly half are his signings, this is his squad that he’s assembled. the man’s deluded. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him out as much as the next person but it’s the same squad. How have things gone so wrong? It's like lots of managers, apart from the really great ones. They come in, they change the system, it works for a period, until they get found out. What seperates the great managers is that they see this and can adjust the system either or utilise a completely new one. Brendan tinkers around the edges with the formation, but he still insists on a high defensive line, possession rather than counter football, and playing it out from the back. Unless you have world class players, you have to freshen up the approach otherwise other teams work you out and nullify your danger. In our title winning season we got worked out, but the opposition said that we were so well into our groove, it didn't matter, we couldn't be stopped. However second season under Ranieri, we were completely worked out, we lost our form, and he was gone before Christmas. Rodgers is good initially, but he has a 3 year cycle, like most managers unless they can bring in world class players that are simply a cut above the opposition in the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true then it’s horrendous management by the club and whoever’s responsible for that decision should be out of the door. If there is any money available for players you either give it to the manager or if you don’t back him then you sack him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
