honeybradger Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Notice how none of our goals come from passing it between the centrebacks for 2 minutes. The criticisms of rodgers hold true until we cut the possession with obsession out, this last game was a good step.

I would have laughed my head off, unfortunately we're too good and the players have too much professional pride to lose to a group of players much worse than them (unless of course there's pressure on the game and Rodgers puts the fear of god into them before the game) You're right though, I can't. I'm past the point of return, I'll freely admit it. I want him gone and I want it done ASAP 1

When we brought in BR it was practically not long off the back of the PL post winning season. We had a huge bloated squad with a lot of deadwood players to clear out. We also needed to go through a long term sqaud rebuild that is still ongoing. So with that all in mind, congrats to the naysayers who don't appear to take notice over what they're talking about! Mendy, Choudhury, Albrighton, Praet, Perez, Vestergaard, Amartey....We have as much if not more deadwood.

I think we've been so below par yet nobody else has really punished us for it. Every single year it's "it'll be tougher next season" but it never materialises. We have genuinely good players in this side. We can get into Europe next season if he sorts our issues out but I don't think he will. ....spot on!!! I said this last season, the best League in the World is a misnomer. Four very good teams and a middling bunch of teams which have little consistency. We need to compete against these teams, draws against this big boys is what is going to allow us, to push for top 6 and above. 1

Popular Post Jimmy Posted 15 May 2022 Popular Post Posted 15 May 2022 I still want Rodgers out, I simply don't trust him with a rebuild and I don't trust him tactically winning 2 games against the 2 worst teams in the league was never going to change that 9 3
UHDrive Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 1 hour ago, sacreblueits442 said: ....Puel started the rebuild from the Premier League winning team!!! With the players he brought in, it made us a more attractive team and Tielemans coming in at that time (when he was top of his game) was not long enough help his cause. It made us a very attractive proposition that Rodgers could not fail to see, the opportunity. The fact that Puel was so poor in his man management skills was his undoing. We still hold the majority of his (Puel) players, after 3 years of Rodgers tenure. I don't disagree, but there are still players we either brought who turned out to be naff or were already on the books but not good enough that are still in the 25 man squad.

Perez wasn't terrible in his first season but he never suited our style.
CosbehFox Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 First of all, can we cut the silly name calling for people having a difference in opinion. I firmly think Rodgers has a huge task on his hands. I'd shake his hand at the end of the season but the club won't. HOWEVER - as a club and a prospect for signings, we badly, badly needed to get ourselves into the top ten. An air of toxicity wasn't/isnt going to help us get players we want. 3
Ric Flair Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 3 hours ago, Shane said: Interesting our first two goals came from direct long balls over the top. It’s something we don’t usually attempt. Hopefully it’s something Brendan has instructed the players to do more of. Nothing wrong with playing it long sometimes and fighting for the first and second ball. Remember Soyuncu launching long balls to Barnes against Rennes/West Ham at home and putting us on the front foot. This is what Soyuncu got a lot of joy for us over the years and was noticeably what was undoing Brentford and Palace in those home wins several weeks ago. Since then we'd stopped doing it and it's such a useful weapon to set the tone for pushing teams back and then rushing them to press and overload in to mistakes deep in their half. 2

Vestergaard, Praet and Perez were his signings, and he doesnt rate them to start regularly. You didn't mention Bertrand. So Rodgers is the one responsible for our Deadwood...In the summer he will just add more and more.
Gazza M Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 A very convincing win and credit for turning over the bottom 2. Now let's see if the confidence can go in to the last 2 games.

HighPeakFox Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 (edited) Can I make a pedantic observation? It isn't fickle to change your mind, it is fickle to say one thing and then keep changing what you say about it over and over again. Edited 15 May 2022 by HighPeakFox Started saying one thing, changed it incompletely! 2
majaco Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Rodgers is a legendary manager because of the FA Cup. We have had a poor season. We have got past 60 points in the previous season. Today changes nothing. I can accept Rodgers remaining as manager. If he does, he had to do better next year or ve sacked. If we look like we couldn't hit 20 points from the first 13 games (the opening third of the season), he should go. I could accept a new manager coming in. The ongoing set-piece debacle has to be sorted. 1
