Brendan Rodgers

[Gazza M]

You will never get anything else from this guy. When it works it is attractive football but we are very easy to play against and Rodgers has no ability to mix it up. 

[coolhandfox]

I reserves judgement until after Roma, if we have been taking it easy and then blow Roma away that's fine.

[Lako42]

He's a ****ing bore.. 

 

His system is dull, easy to defend against and completely negates our best players. 

 

I'm bored of this football, it sucks the life out of you 

[Guest Lcfc82]

Absolutely terrible today, his brand of football is so boring to watch. He’s got nearly a full squad available now and nothing is any better.

 I honestly don’t know how anyone can enjoy watching us at the minute 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

So he still can't see how shit we are playing. 🤔🤣

You are on a hiding to nothing if you think a manager is going to be negative in post match conferences. 
 

Just isn’t the way they operate

The difference is that with most other managers you get the sense that they’re really actually unhappy with the performance and are going to go into the changing room raging, and come back out the next game with things improved.

 

None of that happens with Rodgers

That’s your suspicion - we haven’t got the slightest what happens behind closed doors. Just pure speculation

It’s speculation in terms of raging at the players

 

But the performances have barely improved

he patronises the crowd by saying "they got behind the boys today" - rubbish - if he wants the support of the fans he need to level with us:  say "my obsession with possession is stifling creativity so that even against a villa side on the beach we made zero changes."

 

yet he says this is fine and acceptable - he should; hang his head in shame and give his wages to charity.

I would respect him if he had any volition to try and change things up from the norm, but we are just so predictable. Against a shite Villa team we play one upfront at home.

Toothless & negative football.

Not true though. Plenty of other managers will do it. Doesn't mean he has to only say negative things but a little appreciation that the past 3 performances, or at least the intent, haven't been good enough.

 

As others have said, you get the feeling that he is genuinely happy with how we've approached these games and that's the real worry.

But as he has mentioned things but the public and media cherry picker what they want to hear. 
 

It’s all waffle anyway to appease a machine of noise. I increasingly find it bizarre how much people take notice of pre and post match interviews; even more so using confirmation bias to pick the quotes what fit their opinion. 
 

He was always going to put the best shine on today given Thursdays huge game 

 

[Weller Wing]

I wonder what the players think to it all

 

Hopefully today was because of Thursday, but we've been boring to watch for ages.

 

I'd rather have lost at Newcastle and Everton if we'd have gone down with an exciting, adventurous brand of football, as the season is over

 

Not many positives from the last 3 games apart from match fitness and injured players coming back in time for Roma🤞

[kingkisnorbo]

If we completely nause up Roma do you think top makes a decision? Just speculating.

The performances have improved though - we’ve had 1 loss in 8 and understandably as we’ve progressed through Europe, the league games have become a by-thought hence a lot of boring crap like today. 
 

If our fans were barely up for Newcastle away after the quarter final in Holland, the players ain’t gonna be far off the same.

He wouldn’t want to cough up the best part of £30 million of an already stretched transfer kitty and in the process look (to the outside world) a harsh sacking

Brendan v Jose should mean an end to end exiting game😄

There’s two parts to my issues with Rodgers’ football here now

 

The first is the stuff of today which has been an ongoing thing for a year and a half or so (more often than not)

 

Then there’s been this horrendous 6 month slump we’ve had this season

 

Rodgers may have started to address some of the issues that reared their head during the 6 month slump, but as shown today, he’s not even scratched the surface on the more deep rooted issues

I was at Newcastle and didn't think our lot were too bad tbh.

A 2nd half effort might have got more out of them, as well

Can’t be easy focussing on football management at a time when you have an oligarch hiding out in your spare bedroom
