We must have been watching a different game. Soumare was utter turd first half imo. Improved second half. But what does he do really? What’s his actual role in the team?

I find him a very very ineffectual player.

Evans looked close to the edge with his teammates at times tonight. Like he's playing with kids.

Just get Jonny Evans to organise the defence and pick who he’s confident playing alongside and don’t get Rodgers involved

Genuine question. Is Evans a good captain? For me, it's a no. Didn't see any real encouragement or leadership there this evening or during any game so far. Happy to be proved wrong. 

He’s the only one that looked like he didn’t shit himself. So on that basis I’d say yes to showing leadership.

Parker was sacked for saying basically the same thing 

With the greatest respect, Brendan, why would you expect help given that your (and your mates) signings have put us into this position? You are experienced enough to understand that without the need to look elsewhere for scapegoats. 

[Matt]

Bullshit Brendan in full flow in his interview tonight.

That's the least I'd expect from any player though it's not happening I agree. But is that still leadership in being competent alone? Thanks for the reply by the way.

Much worse . Puel’s unfortunate personal style made our turgid performances seem that much worse but he is a better manager than Rodgers given the respective circumstances 

he's a much better manager than Rogers. His only fault was that his english was poor and he had a quiet personnality.

I don’t think we were all that bad tonight. Build up play seemed better, until we got to the final third. Soumare our MOTM. KDH & JJ terrible. 

I thought KDH was quite good for much of the game. Agree that we didn't play too bad. Also agree that JJ had one of his worst games.

Kelechi needs to start. 

[filbertway]

Same as it's been for almost 2 years now. Create little, best chance comes when we're desperate, other than that we're relying on low outcome strikes from our wide or outside the box.

Just about agree with this but wouldve played Castange over Thomas

I thought Ndidi was fine except for the goal. I'd stick with him and see if he warms to the position.

Where are we getting 40 points from? 

We need 35 points on average to stay up. I can’t see us getting 34 more points playing like that.

The ghost of Puel has been reincarnated. What a total bore fest that game was.

Brendan imo has every right to blame the board ,he wanted a refresh of the squad but has not been backed by the board ,I think BR will walk ,away ,

He was backed last Summer and what did he sign, S--t

There are plenty of unadventurous uninspiring managers that could set the team up as hard to beat, an defensively sound Dyche, Hodgson, Allardyce. The whole team has more confidence when they know one goal will win the game, it isn't pretty, but it isn't pretty now anyway, we are in a dog fight, an even an interim manager from within the club would get a 3-5 game bounce to change momentum.

Maybe you're right, I just don't think we have the personnel to play like one of those managers would want to set us up. And I don't think those above Rodgers should get such a free pass on the role they've had to play in the mess we're in. 

[frany104]

Everyone was shite except evans and Soumare. I thought Soumare had a good game, strong, tackled, didn’t lose the ball.  Shame he’s passing to a bunch of idiots

KDH is a grafter, That's all he brings to the game.

Give Ndidi a shout too. He was ok. 

[baldeagle]

I thought Soumaré grew into the game and Maddison was great . About the only positives though

Only fault?! He tried the same shite brand of footy we're seeing under Rodgers, and he also froze out the faces in our squad who were key for squad cohesion.

 

The man ended Andy King's career with us without even giving him so much as a one-to-one to explain why. That alone is enough to make him an enemy of the club for me - even if he wasn't in his plans, he deserved more respect after 13 years and going through everything with us.

 

He tried to replace Vardy with Demarai Gray for Christ's sake. He was poison.

[jmono84]

Agree Soumare and Evans were well up for it. Ndidi did a good job too. KDH, Tielemans and Maddison’s passing was woeful. Maddison especially looked disinterested when I felt the fans were still trying to get behind the team dispite the poor quality in front of us. Vardy needs dropping, he really struggles to link up play, no runs in behind and no shots even, he has literally done nothing all season.

 

The players lack of fight and urgency during the game even after 60 or so mins possibly told me they don’t wanna play for BR anymore. Such a flat display against a average Man U team.

He’s a water carrier, as in doesn’t do a lot.

Kings career was over long before Puel arrived. He should have been let go sooner.

 

Puel was asked to rebuild the squad and signed some good players. Gray playing in the centre was no more than an experiment.

 

I still say he was better than Rogers.
