TJB-fox Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 Full of support for Brendan and ive been a staunch member of the Brendan In team, but today very poor and I feel he got things wrong. Players poor also.

If the wolves game was unlucky for us then the Leeds game was one that we didn't play well enough to win, you can't have it both ways.
CosbehFox Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 14 minutes ago, Wasyls Pec Deck said: Why are people moaning about an ok performance with a make shift team (injuries and resting for a European trophy) against a full strength Arsenal team? Baffling It’s the same arguments which occurred with the Liverpool game. You have to firstly acknowledge that we were playing the form team of the division today for starters. Alongside the make shift team. 1
Popular Post CrispinLA in Texas Posted 13 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2022 Arteta has brought an identity to Arsenal with his focus of buying young players and playing more direct press while we were passing sideways. I don't know what Brendan's style is? What Identity he wants Leicester to be and what type of players he wants to bring in the summer. Someone enlighten me! 5
Gazza M Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 I have been Brendan out most of the season but don't think that was anywhere near has horrendous as many of the other poor performances we have endured in his tenure. Played against a solid team we have European football as our priority now.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 Dont think you can call for the sack based purely on todays game. We were never going to go down there and win today. I’d take losing if it means we get past Rennes Thursday I don’t think we were that great today. A bit livelier for the last 20 mins of the first half, but that only really consisted of chucking in a few dangerous crosses (we had 88% possession at that time) so could actually say we didn’t do enough with the possession we had. Absolutely toothless second half. Was definitely a pen for me I’m afraid. On Thursday we lost the upper hand in the match when Ian came on. Rennes pushed further up the pitch, after us losing the ‘pace’ of Daka. To that end, it was never going to end well for Ian today as isolated as he was. Vardy would’ve struggled out there away at Arsenal. But I could’ve told you that before kick off. Try two up front. Mix it up. Don’t be scared to try something different. The game was lost when we announced the team and it was a lone striker again. 4

I dont have a strong in / out opinion, however your argument of any excuse too see him gone, is equally balanced by those making excuses for him to stay, thankfully that decision is left to those who pay his wages.

Obviously it used to be quick pacey counter-attacking football, now it just seems to be the odd Counter and some slow build up play, just neither here nor there. Edited 13 March 2022 by SecretPro 4

Popular Post Corky Posted 13 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2022 Pound for pound this season has been one of the poorest managerial performances I've seen at this club. Given the resources he's got, the squad he's got, the reputation he's got we should be competing towards late 50s/ early 60s in terms of points. We're heading for Claude Puel levels. Then chuck in the pathetic display in the FA Cup, the wasted chance in the League Cup and the abysmal showing in the Europa League. It's only in the Conference we've shown any quality and authority in and we're still not 100% sure of being in it by the end of the week. Drab, underwhelming and not good enough. 8
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 13 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2022 31 minutes ago, honeybradger said: I would say the most worrying thing about Rodgers is nothing to do with this season but it is the fact that he seems dead set on playing 1 striker up top with 2 wingers, which neither daka nor iheanacho look suited to. The long term future without vardy under Rodgers is looking bleak, although it's not entirely Rodgers's fault it's also down to the recruitment's as well. It's very frustrating. Watching Daka now makes it look like he's absolutely pony and we've made a mistake and yet rewind to the 1st half of the season where he never played up there on his own and he barely put a foot wrong and impressed. That's on the manager, if he's not suited to the only way of playing he wants to play then that's on him. It's not as if Iheanacho and Daka don't have an insane goals and assists record in a front 2 for us either. Just brainless management at times. 11
Popular Post majaco Posted 13 March 2022 Popular Post Posted 13 March 2022 Rodgers rotated as people wanted. He protected players from injury as demanded An injury affected team, with Vardy, Evans and Fofana out, with Perreira, Justin ad Maddison recovering from recent injury and Ndidi and Tielemans rested lost against a good team. We played an intense game on Thursday. Before the game , some posters were aware of these factors; after the game, some posters think Rodgers is inadequate. 8

But it’s not about that. Genuine question. What am I missing that you’re seeing this season. Why am I fickle but those who are standing by Rodgers more reasonable in their approach. I don’t understand how people can watch some of the shortcomings (but perfectly happy try and understand) and be comfortable with our management team. Things like: slow starts struggling against some very good but also some poor/out of form teams (Leeds, though we won ran through us. Brighton after we went 1-0 up did the same). defensive shortcomings set piece defending choice of strikers/lack of penetration when Vardy doesn’t play. midfield being overrun. weak mentality. Giving away leads when it just shouldn’t be. embarassing results. Yes, the injuries have been difficult but surely it’s the managers job to at the very least prepare the team to compete - I think we’ve struggled to do that for large parts.
Guest Lako42 Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 His subs today were pointless. No change in approach despite a complete farcical attacking display. Was just a pointless display today

I reckon a lot of neutrals are watching us wondering how the hell we finished so high in the past two years when they fully deserved to be up there and still should be. This league season has been awful. 1

SecretPro Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 Brendan pretending he didn't know what the ECL was, even as our name was pulled out the hat and then going on to make it so much his only focus that he couldn't be arsed with today is slightly galling, even if it was generally the right decision.

We played an intense game on Thursday. Before the game , some posters were aware of these factors; after the game, some posters think Rodgers is inadequate. Got no problem with the changes, he was right to do so and I'm OK with us being beaten as it was likely to happen. I'm just very frustrated that yet again we started like slugs in a bath of salt and yet again were undone by a comical set piece bit of defending. We eventually grew in to the game and thought we stood a bit of a chance of making it a game and then we do the same again 2nd half. What on earth does he say to them before games and at half time? They seem to be in a daze at the sheer amount of drivel he spouts. But worse than all of that was he made the same subs he was going to make at 1-0 than when we'd then had the penalty given and were 2-0 down. What's the point? We were never ever going to get 2 goals in that set up, we had to mix it up to trouble Arsenal and he clearly wasn't interested. The debacle with refusing to play Daka and Iheanacho together since Vardy got injured at Xmas is just so bizarre as well. It worked before as well and yet both of them find it so difficult up there on their own, especially when chasing a game. I fear for what happens if we can't get out of France on Thursday evening with a 1 goal defeat or better, it really does look a spicy encounter does Thursday. Rennes will be very bullish, they'll sense they've still a real chance. Got to earn his obscene money we pay him and right the wrongs of his diabolical European record.

No idea why Mendy was taken off when we could've made a more attacking change by bringing Lookman on the right with his pace - albrighton was looking tired today and would've been one to rest a bit assuming he starts Thursday 1
l444ry Posted 13 March 2022 Posted 13 March 2022 (edited) Wish he’d stop playing this awful isolated one up top with wingers in away games. Overplayed for 90 minutes and were never likely to score today Edited 13 March 2022 by l444ry 1
