It is when you've taken off our best link in midfield all game to do it.  Adding a striker but then inviting pressure on yourselves for the rest of the game is not an intelligent move.

It was a bad decision, but it wasn't negative. 

[TeaMen Tom]

What the hell was he thinking taking off his grittiest midfielder when what the team needed - was more grit in the midfield?  Was Rodgers trying to blow the game?  

[Vindaloo FOX]

Only one sub is a awful descion, and I feel probably lost us the 2 points.

 

First half though we were class.

[South Shire Fox]

Take off a midfielder and put on another striker when crusing. Bangs on about wanting more subs in previous seasons but then uses 1 sub to 5 when they are completley out of their feet. Brendan Rodgers you really are an unbelievable tactican 👏🏻👏🏻

3. Fofana was at fault for their 2nd gibing the ball away in midfield.

He was but that defending from Amartey was awful. DaSilva is so one footed you get tight to him and don't allow him to shoot on his left

[whoareyaaa]

Shit formation, shit sub, shit game management, Congrats.

Thrown away. The 1 sub we made, I didn't understand. Our control of the game stemmed from controlling the midfield, so we take one out, I don't get it. Daka on, ok, but for Vardy not KDH. Colour me baffled.

[Haywood_6]

Rodgers has chucked that game away. Shouldn't of taken KDH off when we were in complete control.

Microcosm of the whole season. Some great play and then just fell away with confidence. The errors are terrible and not down to Rodgers. Though the substitution and lack of rectifying subs were his fault. 
 

Appreciate he is cautious but if you’re going to play that way, which coincidentally was working (even if we don’t like it), surely put Praet on for KDH for industry and bring in Daka for Vardy.

When you think Game is over at minute 47, things like this happens

I knew once they got their first it was going backwards and we would likely to give them another. It was a hot day, how come Brendan didn't use his subs properly. We lost the grip and never regained it. Real downer. 

Bredan is a ****wit

[filbertway]

Imagine only making 1 sub and that is bringing off your most mobile CM

 

Once again Rodgers is schooled by someone earning much less than him.

I like Amartey as defensive cover, but they're all back to fitness now, he shouldn't be starting.

Would have played Soyuncu. 

[Lionator]

Get the bottler Rodgers gone. A jellyfish has a better mentality and that doesn’t even have a brain. 

[CosbehFox]

Can’t waffle his bollocks now. It’s on him that. Largely defended him and you can’t go in the press like he has done, then do to that today 

[Blue-fox]

Rodgers has had an absolute stinker there. Hope he admits it

[LcFc_Smiv]

The most infuriating thing is this team obviously has the talent, they play with shackles on. Every week we see our players reluctant and unable to express themselves because of negative tactics. Seems to be trying to make a point by refusing to use more than one sub, useless pr!ck

[21st Century Fox]

[lcfcdamo]

Why would any manger in the world take ur most hard working midfielder off for a striker when winning crazy crazy decision 

[ozleicester]

however... that fvcking goal from KDH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[burleighfox]

He's at fault for this today but I'm sure he'll find a way to deflect the fvck ups through some elaborate and nonsensical dialogue.

[BigGibbo]

Brendan wants his payout. Simple. 

 

Never. Take. Dewsbury-Hall. Off.

 

I've never known worse game management at any level. Genuinely astounding.

[st albans fox]

What on earth was Rodgers doing ?

it was like we had a pre planned sub to make on 70 mins and what was happening on the pitch was irrelevant 

 

The fact that the equaliser came from kdh’s area of the pitch simply exacerbated his decision - and don’t get me started on our defending second half - what’s the point of playing 3 atb when there is no one in front of them and amartey is scared to leave his defensive line and close down. ??

Just not enough desire there, thought Fofana was particularly poor at the back before Amartey got sucked in twice, Ndidi was passive, and the passing further forward didn't quite work far too often. Think we'll get enough points not to be scrapping at the bottom, but that was no better than a lower mid table 90 minutes overall.

Is Ndidi colour blind! Just that he never passes to blue shirts. 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

I said in the transfer threat, that with the players we have I'm not worried and think we can push the top 6. One thing the players need is a competent manager, which unfortunately we don't have.
