Winning breeds winning. Everything about today's aftermath was a class act, like we belong here. Like it was in the FA Cup final but you keep a close eye to shit like this and this club doesn't get embarrassed by winning anymore. 

 

What a time to be us.

He seemed to really embrace the challenge of winning the FA Cup. Seemed to really want to win yesterday.

 

Whether the Community Shield is that important we can discuss and debate but it doesn't hurt to give it a go.

Would love us to push for the League Cup this season.

Win the Europa League Brendan lad and become our undisputed greatest manager of all time. Winning breeds winning and he's installed a winning mentality at the club.

Europa for me, Wouldn't knock a league cup and doable with our squad and other big teams don't seem interested

Would absolutely love the Europa, just think that's a touch too far. A decent run would be brilliant though

He’s spoken a lot about instilling a winning mentality and a winning culture - which is why I think yesterday we seemed to want it more. 

 

We are on the verge of replacing teams like Arsenal and Spurs at the top echelons of English football. And things like the training ground might increase the chance of it being sustainable. 
 

You’d never say that winning the Community Shield is eta defining, but perhaps it’s reflective of the real progress we are making.

This is why I think Top will back him in the transfer market and with player contacts -- he is winning trophies.

 

"Backing" doesn't mean spending 100 million on Grealish, but it does mean getting a CB, and RW if wanted (although Brendan seems to have faith in Perez).

 

Leicester is a good gig for Brendan, great facilities, chance to mold players, and every good season a story about how he has done amazing with less money than the big boys.

 

I think he won't move on purely based upon a "bigger" club wanting him. If that club is a clusterfcuk behind the scenes, it not worth leaving Leicester just to be sacked by Real Madrid after 4 months.

We ran the depending champions out of the park!

 

We were lacklustre last season in Europe: Don't know if it was the newness of it all, COVID pandemic effects, or a lack of the "winning mentality" Rodgers wants to instill.

 

But on paper -- and I know the caveats -- we should be one of the favourites going in...

 

Of course, as I have said before, we should also try to make a run at the League Cup. People speak of "prioritising" but our bench is stronger than last year, and we even have 2-3 in the development squad I wouldn't be frightened by seeing in the starting lineup against lower division opposition.

For us it should have absolutely been seen as important and I'm glad it was treated as such by Rodgers. If he believes in it, he's the starting point for everyone to feed off that energy. 

 

For other clubs they may see it as tinpot or small-time or a 'glorified friendly'. At the end of the day, it's still a trophy and still silverware; considering it will become continuously difficult to win trophies with how other teams just spend ridiculously, the fact we can and have won a trophy to add to our cabinet should only be seen as a good thing. It's not our place to turn our noses up at it and I'm glad we didn't.

 

I'd love for us to win a different trophy (maybe alongside other(s)!). Europa League has to be one of the priorities.

Just win the League title now for us Brendan and you will become the most successful ever manager in the history of Leicester City Football Club.

 

All the plaudits, Freedom of the City, statutes, re-naming of parks etc. will be yours and well deserved.

For a manager known as a bottler, doesn't he have a seriously good win rate in finals?

 

Its clear the whole club has taken a step up since appointing him. We are lucky to have him. Dreading the day one of the really big boys come calling.

I saw something different in the team yesterday, something almost intangible. I liked it - it looked like determined belief.

Funnily enough I said something similar to the wife earlier (for the record she looked completely uninterested!). For me it could be summed up in the exact same word, belief. Every time we played one of the big boys and BR went ultra defensive and counter attacking it may have sent a subliminal message to the squad that we’re not good enough. For most of the first half yesterday we took it to them with almost an attacking 442.

 

I know Rogers said about bringing in players with a winning mentality but alongside this I hope he’s that little bit braver this season. We’ve got the players on paper and that extra bit of belief and arrogance may prove the difference in certain games. Fergie teams always expected to win and it didn’t do them any harm!

Maybe be a case of winning breeding winning habits.

 

first time I've seen Rodgers get angry on the touchline too, booting a water bottle about 40 yards.

I might be in a minority here, but I actually thought our midfield was a problem more often than is thought last season, and that the effect of it showed up in the defence. I love Tielemans and Ndidi, but they could easily be out-numbered or out-powered sometimes, and I think having Soumare around deals with that. Tielemans should get breaks due to KDH looking like he's made of the right stuff too, with the net effect that those in the 3 in front (yesterday, Barnes, Maddison and Perez) have more space to breathe and express themselves. And again, a fully fit Maddison and Barnes won't be doing our cause any harm either.
