The majority of players in the PL are not top class. If your teamwork and organisation is top class though , you are still competitive. 4

The players are better than being relegation battle fodder imo, they are being coached and set up in such a dire way. Nacho has had one purple patch in 5 seasons at the club. Cags doesn't want to be here. A full fit squad I agree, but not with half the second string playing. 1
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 January 2023 Posted 21 January 2023 What I don’t get is how he can’t manage to get more drive and energy out of the players. They seem so lethargic compared to other teams. If someone isn’t putting a shift in hook them and give someone else a chance and if you can’t get any of them at it then you’re just not good enough for the job 3

Rodger is to blame as much as the club, lack of have a plan, square pegs in round holes. 1

The problem is that there was no team coherence, organisation or plan. They didn't look as if they had played much together. 2
st albans fox Posted 21 January 2023 Posted 21 January 2023 He blatantly lies about the game to make it sound like we were decent - but he can’t bring himself to big up the squad players that he now has to rely on its all about brand brendan … 3

Can you blame Cags for not wanting to be here? 4

Oh he also had no intention of signing a new contract. Man management at his best.
gw_leics772 Posted 21 January 2023 Posted 21 January 2023 (edited) I tired to drum up some support for brendan out. When he brought Albrighton on i went apeshit and made a real point of it all, sang brendan Rogers, get out of our club. We all know what happened next so it didn't really gain much traction Edited 21 January 2023 by gw_leics772

They’re happy to give it away, or not bothered enough to give it away. That is not a happy dressing room. shame on the cowardice of the owner and board on allowing this to now be normal.

We would not need to play a CDM at Centre Back because we have a quality Turkish centre back wasting away on the bench, who is wanted by an actual ELITE manager in Spain. We would not need to be looking for Central midfielders because we wouldn't have turned one of the most promising tackling midfielders in world football into me after a few pints, We would not need a new striker because we have a striker who is proven to score goals when given a run and wouldn't be rotting on the bench, and we wouldn't be playing a system that would make prime R9 look like a donkey. We would not need a Right Winger because we would have taken our 40m winger who had half decent stats before signing us and turned him into someone who often looks like a toddler on the pitch. We would not need a Goalkeeper because our Elite manager wouldn't have EVER relied on Danny fking Ward as our #1 and would have brought someone in on loan. We would not need a left winger if our current left winger had not gone from a really raw and exciting talent to a brainless chicken. We would not have had an injury crisis for the last THREE YEARS. We would not have spent 100 MILLION on players who can't get a game. None of this would be an issue if we had a manager that was actually earning his astronomical wage. 13
Poznan34 Posted 21 January 2023 Posted 21 January 2023 If the manager can no longer motivate the players then we should change him. The training ground, new players is all irrelevant if the manager can't get the players going. Spending £15m on the Danish kid suggests we should be able to find the £10m to give him the boot. 2

I am fairly confident that in the U23's you'd have a queue of players desperate to prove a point.
MattFox Posted 21 January 2023 Posted 21 January 2023 I’m coming to the conclusion the board and ownership are fully behind him to the bitter end. Nothing he says in the press will change that

How has he said that. We spend more per week now on wages than when he arrived, yet the team is far, far weaker. His poor recruitment and pathetic excuses have created the very things he moans about. My dad is a Stoke fan and he compared him to Mark Hughes earlier. The more I think about it, the more I see it. The man may just instill an irreparable rot into this club, and we all know how long it takes to recover from that. 2

Simply not good enough. I agree with you statement about organisation and a plan, but some of the players aren't good enough.
