If performances stay like this, then I might start believing in Brendan again. But its the constant flow of injury woes, that has us in this situation and he is responsible for that. Constant flow of injuries, but then why doesn't Brendan play any of the players he signed? We have £90m of Rodgers signings that don't even make the bench - Perez, Vestergaard, Betrand, Soumare. He's also insisting on sticking with Daka and giving last season's top scorer and established PL striker Nacho 5 minutes here and there. 1

We look vulnerable on set pieces obviously, but managed to defend everything.
sdb Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 (edited) Anyone using today as a reason for Rodgers out is just totally blinded. Good performance against a decent side. On another day we win that comfortably, despite having half the first team out. We've all seen a lot worse served up there. Edited 20 February 2022 by sdb 3

Funny how you mention players he signed not playing as a criticism, then complain that he insists on Daka, another player he signed
jim5000 Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 Burnely, Leeds, and Arsenal coming up. The way we are playing we could easily lose all three of those.... 1
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 If he is going to be sacked it'll be today or tomorrow. Gives the club effectively ten Days to find an interim or new manager before next PL game. Later we leave the games will come thick and fast.

Wasted 90m on players he doesn't even want to play, and the one player he does play from his signings it just isn't working. Basically his signings are terrible and contributing to running all the Puel era players into the ground and constant injuries
jim5000 Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 1 minute ago, lcfceaves said: Or constant flow of goals going in our net? Agreed. We give ourselves an uphill battle every match. Today we conceded after 8 minutes. Sure, Wolves sat back after that because they have confidence in their defence and ability to hit us on the counter. Wolves gameplan worked perfectly for them. Ours didn't. Wolves let us pass around in midfield which made us look semi-competent, but the end result is the same. 1
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 I’m firmly Brendan out but we were unlucky today and deserved at least a draw. It would be harsh if he was sacked after today. My only criticism of him today was not bringing iheanacho on to play up front with Daka.
CosbehFox Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 11 minutes ago, Chocolate Teapot said: Bottom of the form table 2 points out of a possible 15. Not the easiest run of fixtures mind. I just don’t see the club spending £10 mil with such a points gap. Especially seeing Top’s programme notes on Thursday.

We played into Wolves hands and they were never really in any danger. They have confidence in their defence. We are in freefall and can't see where the next win is coming from. Burnley often have our number, and then we have Leeds followed by Arsenal away....
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 If we don’t pick up a win from Burnley or Leeds I think he will definitely be sacked.

Jonezy Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 2 minutes ago, lcfceaves said: Or constant flow of goals going in our net? Which is caused by having a completely unsettled defense because of injuries. Look at Wolves; they have a settled defense and concede among the fewest goals in the league. I agree our defense has been a joke most season, but today felt more unlucky than poor defending. 1

I don’t understand the apparent ultimatum of ‘lose today and you’re gone’. One game shouldn’t define that decision. The club should look at a number of factors over the last 30 games, exclude emotion from it, and come to the decision that he has run out of ideas.
majaco Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 He set up a team missing 7 players well today. Nobody had a bad game. Schmeichel was probably most culpable but having said that the two goals were clinical. Today made me think things are about to turn. Rodgers in. 3
EnderbyFox Posted 20 February 2022 Posted 20 February 2022 Listening to this interview you'd think we won 4-0 1
