I’m surprised by the % of people still wanting to keep him at this stage.

Or maybe you're just in the minority who want Brendan out?

this is also just 15 minutes after we've taken a battering

we beat Soton 2-0 next week and 60% are Brendan in again, this place is fickle, havent you learnt?

I am surprised Ndidi got more than 2. Who can explain what he did all game apart from walking around the pitch hiding behind Arsenal players and a few passes?

I appreciate that Foxestalk in isolation is a terrible indication of what the general fan base believes. 

 

It’s doesn’t deny the fact though, that fans at every club he’s been at will tell you his 3rd seasons have been disastrous. He had us playing some great football for 18 months.
 

If you take a snapshot of the last 18 months, it’s been awful.
 

** He’s never won over the majority of the fan base.
 

** Tactically he’s made some shocking decisions, especially game management and substitutions. 
 

** We are mentally weak as a football club, demonstrated by our collapse on several occasions. 
 

** His stubbornness to accommodate our in form players (Iheanacho) and persist with tactics that don’t accommodate this.

 

** Our set piece situation is not a freak accident and to be frank is nothing short of abysmal. 

 

He’s one of the highest paid managers / head coaches in world football, earning far more than any other manager we’ve ever had. I won’t doubt he’s done some good stuff here, however anyone would think he’s a inexperienced coach in his early career. 
 

We’ve got an entire forum that could tell you asking Daniel Amartey to play football from the back and remain composed, or asking Vestergaard to play in a high line and press isn’t going to work. Even daft things like Ricardo marking Tammy Abraham is just bonkers. 
 

I still stand behind my opinion that I don’t hold him responsible for the poor recruitment, that’s on the club as a whole, as he’s only one person in a team of people that have made those poor choices. 

 

You don’t try and change players with limitations. Play to our strengths.l, even if it isn’t ideal. It that’s deep defense, counter attacking and lumped long, with Ndidi tackling only and making 5 yard passes, so be it.
 

However, this isn’t a reaction after two games. This is my opinion I’ve formed not just over his time here, it’s over the course of his managerial career.

Can’t work out how Amartey has got a lower rating than Evans and Fofana. He was much better than both of them today.

I was going to say it highlights how fans perceive things, he wasn't great but the other two were woeful today. An average rating of 4.2 across our back 3 says it all.

Not exactly sure what Amartey did wrong, Saka was kept their quietest attacker by a distance.

He was better then the 2 at the back with him. Thing with this site is the sheep follow the shepherd and pick on one player regardless of who’s been crap.

i’m glad people acknowledged justin’s efforts. I thought he was having one of his best games for us for a while. He actually looked comfortable playing on the left for once.

He was badly at fault for the Jesus back post header. Wrong side of his man (as usual)

[Walshy5]

No one can say I'm fickle. I've always been Rodgers out and never wanted him right from the start. One of the most arrogant, stubborn, obnoxious managers around!

Very harsh when you consider it went like a bullet off Vardy’s head and past a goalkeeper rooted to his line.

If he’s the right side of his man that would have been a start. Do you think top centre halves should be beaten in the air like that by Jesus? He’s 5’9.

I find it so depressing that it’s 2022 and Amartey is starting Premier League games for us. He’s never been good enough but isn’t the only one.
