Justin criticises Rodgers?

[alfox13]

His move to a back five unless I'm dreaming?

Evidence?

Context?

[Lcfc-1992]

Heard the radio after he’d been interviewed and they were surprised by what he said..

Ohhhhh, kudos to the lad tbh

[lcfcbluearmy]

It was in his interview in radio Leicester after the game you might be able to get it on catch up not sure?

[dayday]

What did he say?

[Sampson]

The switch to a back 5 shouldn't mean you lose Wellbeck when he's your man and not jump for a header tbf.

 

Perfectly OK to blame Rodgers for the tactical shift inviting pressure, but Justin himself was most at fault for the goal for not doing the basics of defending.

Well if he can do his job defending the back post better, we’d have more than a point from two games. Don’t come out and have a dig if you can’t be responsible for your own job 

[RowlattsFox]

Not a great look when you've contributed to losing 5 points due to losing your man. I'm sure he's been taken out of context though. 

[Nod.E]

He's not even criticised the decision to go into a 5 there. He has criticised the team's mentality to sit back in (what happened to be) a 5 at the time. 

[Happy Fox]

The players must be bored to play this style of football.

That was my take on it listening to it, it was sitting back and a defensive mentality that was the problem rather than the formation change in itself.

Could easily blame Thomas for giving Maupay three and a half hours to tee up the cross 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Sounded more like a criticism of the players or maybe needing some players back to me.

 

“It’s about having a couple of players lifting us up to have that confidence back in the team to start playing again, playing our football instead of going back into like a back 5 and sitting there”

 

But I guess everybody will hear it differently as a confirmation of what they already thought.

True that it was his mistake for the goal but as you say it was the tactical shift that changed the game. We know we're shit at the back so why employ tactics that result in us having to defend for large periods. Completely baffling

It's nice to have a player come out and demand better. Too many passengers at this club at the moment 

[turlo]

his exact words were "we started off the second half well and then kind of retreated back into our shell, which we've done quite a lot" 

[StanSP]

Wow, this is a stretch. Worse than the Daily Mail shite earlier

Of course several things happen in the lead up to every goal, but once the cross is there then it's Justin's to clear. He's marking Wellbeck and loses him. If he'd marked Wellbeck properly it doesn't go in.

[Claridge]

Piper was talking bollocks, putting words into Justins mouth. Mind you they would be true if he actually said them

As far as I can recall we employ professional footballers and pay them a considerable amount of money per week to do their job. They may not like 5 at the back and neither might we but it isn't that hard to play it and it isn't like we don't ever play it or presumably train for it.

They should all show a bit more steel, fight and carry out the basics of the game such as jumping for headers, marking players and passing to team mates a bit more than they are at the moment.

I agree the tactics aren't right but even more baffling to me is the complete ineptitude shown by our players for most of this season.

If Rodgers doesn't make baffling decisions on formation and constantly try to defend 1 goal leads with a very poor defence we also don't drop points. Justin has just come back from 11 months out and made a few errors. Rodgers has been fooking about tactically and ruining our winning positions all season long. Sort your fecking life out if you can't see that.
