If beating Burnley is supposed to be some form of jubilant proof that we need to keep our faith in Rodgers, then it shows how far we’ve fallen. Having said that, purely based on tonight, he can only beat who’s in front of him. And I about fell off my chair when I saw he was bringing both Maddison and Vardy on at once. Two good, positive substitutions for once 1 1 1
Kinowe Soorie Posted 1 March 2022 Posted 1 March 2022 I’m pleased that we won, but he can’t be trusted with the summers transfer budget. 4

That was in my late teens, I had the time of my life! Never thought it'd get any better, especially as a child of the Pleat years. I've been Brendan out at times, because I'm so frustrated. All about perspective. 1

Not disagreeing. Different times. Maybe need to set our expectations. We ain't exactly having it bad at the moment. Like I said...perspective.

Getting us promoted, finishing top 10 three times and winning the league cup twice. He was god at the time and I never thought anything would surpass yet here I am with a manager that won the one cup I ever wanted to win and 2 top 5 finishes, a record away win ever and people still ain’t happy. Get a grip people 3
tom27111 Posted 1 March 2022 Posted 1 March 2022 To be honest, my Rodgers/O'Neill comparison is possibly unfair. Mainly on budget. We've always been unfashionable. Just to make it clear, they are both fvcking heroes in my eyes. Different times, different expectations. 1

Dan Posted 2 March 2022 Posted 2 March 2022 Better from him tonight. Felt like he kept things a bit more solid with Ndidi doing more defending. Subs were correct as well. Better. 3

Fox92 Posted 2 March 2022 Author Posted 2 March 2022 What a surprise, we got one of our best players back and he massively influenced our win. Who'd have thought that 2

Who'd have thought that There is too much emphasis on Rodgers whether we win or lose. Managers can do only so much. Its down to the team in the end and I mean team. If you play in a cohesive way you do better like last night. We need to do this consistently and so do Spurs and Man.Utd. The presence of Vardy draws the team together and that has been the case for years. Let us hope he is available for the rest of the season. 1
Jackubu Posted 2 March 2022 Posted 2 March 2022 Defensively we still looked very fragile and think the 2-0 flattered our performance to be honest. Long way to go
Popular Post BenTheFox Posted 2 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 2 March 2022 Why is it that as soon as we win a game for the first time in quite a while the 'humble pie/I told you so' brigade are out in force? Most people who have criticised Rodgers do not have an agenda against him. If they were to be given a straight choice between Rodgers turning it around or a new manager coming in and turning it around I'm sure they would rather Rodgers turn it around, they are just having doubts on whether he can do it. People are more than happy to be proven wrong because it ultimately means that Leicester City are doing well, which is what we all want. Yesterday's win came as a big relief and I was over the moon that we got the three points. I also believe that he managed the game much better than previously with his approach and substitutions. He has the rest of this season to really prove his doubters wrong and as someone that was leaning towards thinking that he shouldn't be our manager next season, I hope he does prove them/us wrong. 7 5

Popular Post The boy Linacre Posted 2 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 2 March 2022 Say it every time, is there somebody better out there, till there is, he is good enough. I think Football fans think VERY short term. Generally settled managership is better for a club (Howe Bournemouth, Klopp Liverpool (he has built that team primarily). 2 5ths and the FA CUP (Chelsea have won 1 domestic cup out of 5 finals in the last 5 years, not that easy then) seem to have been lost, 11 years since we were playing Yeovil. Of course the level of investment in and the running of the club is a totally different world to anything that came before. At the end of this season, this current top flight run will go 2nd in our top flight residencies 2nd only to 1957-69, we have only finished 4 times higher than 5th in 128 Football League seasons. He's due some slack, do we want Claude or Shakey back? On the other side of the coin, is he generally too conservative, yes, has he thrown games away recently, yes, West Ham, Brighton, probably Tottenham. Is he to blame for the shedload of injuries very possibly, we don't actually know on that. Was zonal a mess, yes. Can we finish 9th or higher with a decent run, yes, can we win a European Trophy, yes. If he can get Justin and Fofana back and not get them & Ricky injured again, we have 14 games left and the next on paper is easier, win it, beat Rennes at home and lets get going. Yesterday might change his mindset to be more positive going forward. We can still salvage something really positive with a 7th-9th finish and a European Trophy (won't be easy). 7 2
