Might be a good day to avoid in-depth coverage. We'll probably be lectured for booing the team for the first time in 2 and a half years and told to pipe down, know our place, Brendan is doing wonderfully etc.

I don’t disagree. As I mention in the BR thread, my only gripe with him, is the fact we won’t move away from his main football philosophy, to try and regain a collective confidence, which has quite clearly gone. We’re still one of the most dangerous sides in the premier league, but because of the way we’re playing we’re stifling the attack, I’m hoping that Brendan’s back to basics comment on his press conference is in reference to what he plans to do. Here’s hoping he just gets the lads to sit off a little a counter a bit more. Once we’ve started winning again the confidence will come back, and we will be able to start playing the free flowing football Brendan likes. I just ask for a little more flexibility with his approach, I’m sure he will, he’s a clever bloke and a quality coach. 1

Unfortunately I can’t see Maddison or Vestergaard being dropped by Rodgers. Oh god, I just realised it’s Sunday and Vestergaard is in defence for us again….
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 3 October 2021 Posted 3 October 2021 (edited) Can’t see Rodgers going with anything other than a back 5 with both Evans & Ndidi out. Kasper Ricardo or Castagne Amartey Vestegaard Soyuncu Bertrand Soumoure Tielemans Maddison or Perez Vardy Kelechi Barnes & Lookman on to change the shape and change the game when 2-0 down Edited 3 October 2021 by Ross 'LCFC' Turner
RGFox Posted 3 October 2021 Posted 3 October 2021 352 pls BR I would rather put castagne is a right cb (of a 3) with albrighton right wing back. Rucky left wing back. Surely worth a try after the horror shows with amartey vest and cags Lookman for Barnes Kels has to start with vards.

On one of his last matches in that position, he'd been so bad that the pundits pulled out the stats to prove it. It was another example of Rodgers artistic period of putting anything square, rectangle or triangle into a round hole. I felt very sorry for Castagne that day, even he looked embarrassed.

hejammy Posted 3 October 2021 Posted 3 October 2021 So if Nacho doesn't start, are we expecting one of the biggest FT meltdowns in modern history?

So I reckon it's one or the other and a meltdown is inevitable

We have the talent right here right now, we just do not have the the right environment for them to flourish, and that it seems covers a myriad of things. Tactically we are limited and that may come from Rodgers unwilling to take advice or his whole backroom team has insufficient knowledge of football strategy in which to overcome this malaise. There has to be a turning point and the reaction from the crowd should not mean we go and throw more money at the problem, no one learns anything from that, but there is an apathy that surrounds this team, and we need to get them out of their own heads with a distraction of some kind. The relentless games and mental energy they have put in, in the last two seasons, I believe, has taken a toll. We failed to make top four on the last day on both occasions and perhaps we or the team, have not quite understood what that would have psychologically taken from us, and then they are being asked to go again. No other team has experienced what we have gone through, and we need to get back some kind of enjoyment from the game, but until the players can come to terms with what has happened, we will all be going through the whole experience with them, in every game.
