Funny how we pass it around for 90% of the game with some ease, but as soon as stoppage time approaches we just absolutely shit ourselves

 

All we had to do was keep the ball. The game management of this side is terrible. The resolve to battle and keep the ball out of danger is just not there. 

the last 5 minutes and corners our players go into a black hole... this is a issue now rooted in the squad mentally. 

[Twitcher]

Played some lovely passing football at times, especially first half, but they always looked more dangerous in attack than we did.

Just not enough chances created from that great passing build-up play.

[RowlattsFox]

What percentage do you give us beating Roma? I honestly think I'm looking at 30%. We are just not good enough for long enough periods. Rubbish at game management, rubbish at keeping the ball up top of we are seeing the game out and will schooled by the European experience. 

 

Really big summer. Need to find a new identity because I really don't think we've had one this season. 

[martyn]

Too much time spent trying to "control" the game once we went 1-0 up. Fans were oleing on 15 minutes when the game was there to be killed off in that spell where Everton were absolutely rocking and the crowd on the edge of a mutiny.

How many times have we put extra defender on to close games and concede this season..

Because it invites pressure on every ****er can see that apart from rodgers attack them get a second and kill it awful awful awful tactics once again from rodgers

It’s the mental side of it as well. We need to find a way to see games out. Teams know they can put us under pressure late on and we’ll be fearing the worst. 

I wa shocked we got to 90 mins but once we had its just madness to not see it out  …….

[SafewayFox]

Sean Dyche about 3 weeks ago said that “Everton don’t know how to win.”

 

Do opposing managers say (about us) - “Leicester don’t know how to play football after 90 minutes”???

 

How many times….all this does is re-open my Spurs nightmare and get very anti Rodgers.

[Dusty]

The first 10 minutes we were incredible, our football was about the best I’ve ever seen, everyone was in the correct place all the time to receive the pass and we were just carving them open.

 

But as soon as Everton got any momentum we just went back into our shell. It’s been the same all season. As soon as the other team start playing better, and the home fans back them up, we absolutely crumble. And I don’t think there’s anything anyone can say to fix it, we just have to eventually start grinding out these results to change our mindset.

[Guest Col city fan]

I genuinely thought we played pretty well tonight against a team fighting for their lives and a hostile crowd full of horrible scousers 

But tbf Everton are a dreadful team and we should have had the bollox to just go for the kill. At 0-2 they’d have given up

God knows why Rodgers brought Amartey on for Mendy, other than to win aerial balls I suppose 

Another bizarre game where we shone in patches but again didn’t have the minerals to finish the opposition off

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Don't tell me Brendan's been trying to show off his big tactical brain again. That's never good.

[Gazzard]

All this passing is very nice to watch but there is almost never any end product to it or we get caught out.

More direct please stop pissing about.

[5waller5]

Was there anything more obvious than that??

 

At 75 minutes my son and I both predicted 1-1 (Richarlison)..... Just wish I'd have not left my phone in the kitchen otherwise BET365 would have less money right now!!

We are good enough if brendon didn't keep going so defensive.

That’s exactly my point!

[Jakemoore]

I also get the feeling that the players aren’t motivated enough to win PL games. It’s now all about Europe. That’s not a good attitude. If we **** that up then we could end up finishing bottom half with no trophies. 

[coolhandfox]

If we don't find a decent RW and play Jimmy at 10 next season, we need shooting.

 

4-3-3 is great when you have a Mane and Salah.

 

[demon_dog]

When will they learn? 

Basic tactic is to run the ball into the opposition corner and keep it there as long as possible. 

Failing that any chance you get try to keep the ball in the opposite half or knock the ball out of play up the field. 

Anything to stop them from attacking us. 

Surely Brendan and the players should know this. 🤔

What are you proposing we actually do tho? We were awful going forwards, could barely play 5 passes before messing up. They were already going long by the time amartey came on. It wasn’t a bad sub to make and wasn’t the reason we conceded either. 

[turlo]

Rodgers needs to go full hair drier treatment on these ****ers now. Happened far too many times in the last 12 months and they normally get a pat on the back "unlucky lads, we controlled the game"

If we'd managed to hold on to half those points we'd be top 6. An absolute embarrassment really.

We absolutely bossed that match. Everton were shocking. We missed chance after chance, wasted final passes. Played some lovely stuff then started to panic, foul. Give dead ball opportunities to play to Everton’s only strength of putting it in the mixer. Taking the excellent Mendy off for Amartey was a negative move and the ending was inevitable for a team that isn’t clinical when finishing and hasn’t got the bottle when it gets to squeaky bum time. Bottled it. Again. 

[LFox99]

Please, I ****ing beg Brendan, please tell me WHY we leave Tielemans on the pitch while subbing off our sole fit DM who isnt even registered in Europe 

Also Vards needs to come back soon or we'll be in trouble... Kele and Pats have done **** all this game. The one time Kele needed to be composed, he lets the ball bounce off him like a springboard, its like we're playing with 10 men.

That’s the bizarre thing - they can do it. They did at Rennes. They showed a belief at PSV as well. 
 

That’s why I believe it’s a combo of the two. Rodgers concedes the possession by putting defenders on. The players just make idiot decisions 

[Hamilton Fox]

And here’s the reason everyone wants to leave before the end of the match

Remember when we were 1-0 up against Spurs with 10 seconds to go 

Actually it was 2-1 with 10 seconds to go

Stoppage time alone:

 

Spurs x2

West Ham

Liverpool (League Cup)

Newcastle 

Everton

 

That’s without mentioning blowing 2 goal leads against Palace and Napoli

I love when some one says that’s without mentioning and then mentions it.
