Obviously things are bad but we are fortunate to still have enough points on the board that we aren’t yet in the bottom 3. It’s clear something needs to change soon, and I’m not downplaying how bad things are, but a little more objectivity and perspective is required here I think. Top finally speaks 2

I’m unsure whether you were being serious or sarcy? Just stop following me around with your Amartey stuff. Do you know what hypocritical means?

If you considered any of our CB’s yesterday were ‘ok’ then you were clearly easily pleased and a part of your 80% of fans who were the same. ie you’re being hypocritical. We conceded two in the first half, another one hit the post and another one chalked off for offside. Then in the second half we conceded another and had another one chalked off for offside. That’s miles away from any of our defenders playing ‘ok’.

I got the sense yesterday that several are now really beginning to turn. Perhaps it was some of the decisions in game that made them realise, but at least they are realising now. That's the main thing. I've not heard so many Rodgers out chants around me before today as I did yesterday.
Corky Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 Staying up definitely means more Rodgers but with a worse squad than now. Grim scenario whatever the outcome

And Pearson definitely earned the right to remain on for the full season. We rose because of him. Unlike that Ulster charlatan where we have declined massively. 1

I was genuinely amazed at the guy who still was backing him. I mean what would it take? Us going down by which point it’s too late? 1

Thinking someone played “OK” is not the same as thinking that is a good enough standard or close to what we need right now in a relegation scrap. That’s miles away from being hypocritical. 2

Lost count of the times I walked out the grounds that season confused to how we didn’t pick up points. Hard to see where that fight is coming from within this squad. 1

Have we got the most dense fan base going, or the most apathetic? At least most of them have now finally twigged.

Unlike that Ulster charlatan where we have declined massively. yea. there were times when we were pure doggo, like the 5 games without a goal October/November that season, but like we went to Anfield and took a point with them reliant on a non-penalty where Wes Morgan conceded a penalty for blocking a shot with his face, fought hard at Spurs, worried arsenal at the Emirates. there was a general idea of enough fight but not enough quality, now it's the exact opposite 1 2

People who were arguing with me yesterday were claiming it's already "too late". Which i'm bemused by because I dare say these same people we're saying "be careful what you wish for" up until only a few weeks ago, so which is it? Either way, do we go down with a whimper under Rodgers or die trying? Edited 12 March 2023 by Matt

You can’t be bewildered at the state of fans who think we’re ok (80%?) and who don’t seem to be bothered whilst suggesting any of our defence yesterday played ‘ok’. The two just don’t tally.
Jattdogg Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 To be fair 9 clubs are in the battle as well. As shite as we have been so have other clubs. If we find a way to click i think we are better positioned to not be one of those 9 at the end of the season. It going to go down to the wire though. We have to have faith even in these dark times. Hope the best really.

But the picture is much bigger than whether we get relegated or not. It’s the state of the club in general AND how we are playing on the pitch. Anyone not seeing this is an ostrich.
StanSP Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 1 minute ago, Matt said: Either way, do we go down with a whimper under Rodgers or die trying? 100% should want to go for the latter, die trying. 100% if Rodgers is around it'll be with a whimper, where some players try their utmost to get us out of the predicament, while others just continually show themselves up to not be anywhere near the standard required to fight to stay in the PL, let alone be good enough on any given day. 2 1
Popular Post Guest Posted 12 March 2023 Popular Post Posted 12 March 2023 1 minute ago, whoareyaaa said: How can we afford to buy players but not sack the useless manager The answer to that is that we can afford to sack him. The theory that he's only still here because we can't afford his payout is basically a comfort blanket for people who don't want to believe that the people in charge of our club are clueless. 7
Ste Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 (edited) Make the change now. It could prove to be too late anyway but I'm positive with someone who cared at the helm we'd have enough about us to just about scrape over the line. It doesn't have to be pretty and it certainly needs to be the antithesis of "death by football" for the next 12 games. Some nasty barsteward who will give the squad a few home truths wouldn't go amiss Edited 12 March 2023 by Ste
