It was an awful performance and I have to apologise to the supporters, To come here, the first game between the two sides for a long time, a great atmosphere, in derby games you need authority and you need physicality. Those two were sadly missing from our performance. I said to the players after that for the first time since I’ve been here I’ve been embarrassed. It was an embarrassing performance. I feel for the supporters and the excitement of coming to here. We brought the FA Cup into our team meeting today so the players could see what we went through last year to win this competition, to remind them of the day at Wembley and the journey, and what it takes to win a trophy like that. I was looking to provide that motivation and extra desire to come out here today. We went away to Stoke, away to Brentford, Brighton, Manchester United, Southampton and then Chelsea, European champions. We come here today and we were really disappointing. It’s hunger. I said it before about having changes in the squad. It’s a lack of hunger. Ok, we are missing players but we didn’t have the physicality to press in certain areas of the pitch and then you get destabilised when you make basic errors. Collectively and individually it was not great. We still have a big part of the season to go. I hope the players can go away and reflect. I’m always very optimistic but we can’t mask over that, that’s a huge worry for me today. We weren’t stable in our defending and then we get rocked by the second goal. Collectively the basics and fundamentals of the game weren’t there for us. 1

Popular Post Freeman's Wharfer Posted 6 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 6 February 2022 Post-match today was going to be an important acid test of the man for me today. What we got was him not coming within 40 yards of the away end at full time - Kasper showing more leadership in the those post final whistle minutes than Rodgers. And then in his post-match interview I just wanted some accountability. A hands held up type thing. Instead we got what we always do. It’s the players that can’t play the system/style that genius Brendan wants them to play. Truth be told, today was nothing about systems: it was about grit, determination, digging in and getting the XI on the pitch from the start who would deliver that. Brendan failed, but he can’t just swallow that. Get him out. 5

The ones that are not so sure should go. He must know who they are... I think it'd be really difficult for him to question any players commitment to us when he's flirted with other jobs whilst being here 1

l444ry Posted 6 February 2022 Posted 6 February 2022 One positive that all the zonal marking critics will like was the magnificent man for man defending on corners. 1
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 February 2022 Posted 6 February 2022 I still ask this question?: Do you think another manager can take this group of players and get them playing better than this? I do… To watch the quality of Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Justin in a team completely humiliated by a Championship side is just not on. However much you like Rodgers, respect him and thank him for winning the FA cup, looking at our team today and watching them utterly mullered… Cmon, there’s got to be something wrong in that He must have lost them somewhere unfortunately

escape2victory Posted 6 February 2022 Posted 6 February 2022 Becoming more and more baffled by Rodgers in game decisions. Personally thought it was wrong to ditch Barnes and go 3-5-2, but ok fair enough, but to keep Lookman on and play him at wing back when have Albrighton and Ricardo on the bench, compounded it, and we had no structure or rhythm to our play at all. Factor in the bizarre in game decisions vs Spurs and Brighton and you can make a case for Rodgers well and truly losing the plot 1

The list goes on. I agree, these are just bonkers situations..... He pushed out Praet when Perez and Madders were playing terribly and now Perez is nowhere? I really don't understand the Praet situation at all. I really feel for Kel too. The guy has saved us so many times but then gets ignored? Brendan's man management is amazing with some yet seriously lacking with others.

Aus Fox Posted 6 February 2022 Posted 6 February 2022 Horrible day today, and one of the worst days watching Leicester since Deeney Day. I get the frustrations of a lot, once I’ve cooled down and reflect on the whole season, I still think he’s the best man for the job. We’ve regressed this year after 3 years of moving forwards. He’s already highlighted the need for a rebuild in the summer, Tielemans is an interesting decision for him, on one hand I would say drop him if he doesn’t want to be here, but on the other hand if he’s not playing we are losing millions in transfer fees that could be used to replace him. 1
Phenom Posted 6 February 2022 Posted 6 February 2022 (edited) We’ve gotten Rodgers the players he’s wanted. If he thinks he can’t do better than we’re currently doing then he shouldn’t be here. We deserve better. Edited 6 February 2022 by Phenom

It's one of the biggest myths that managers get paid up in full. Unfortunately even then it is about £10million and I just can't see us paying that much at the moment Get the feeling he will be given the rest of the season and then he will be gone unless it dramatically improves between now and then

This month will get very nasty.
