Terry

[nnfox]

My feeling is that the mindset of the players are way off right now.  They are such a fragile bunch.  My hope was that JT would come in as a guy who has played - and won - at the very top of the game, and set some minimum standards in attitude, fight and effort.  If he can't do it, then the situation is worse than I thought.  We simply have too many players who are too comfortable and not enough leaders.

 

We have to remember that the defenders at our club are elite footballers, some are experienced internationals - make no mistake, they understand the game and should be tactically aware at all times in a game.  They really shouldn't need someone to come in and get them back to basics.  Some fine tuning perhaps, but they aren't signed as bad players.  I can forgive the odd technical slip up every now and again, but this lot, at times, look like they've never seen a football before.  Their ability has been coached out of them.

 

I blame Brendan "I want to be everybody's best mate and if you aren't in my cool gang then fck off" Rodgers for instilling the mindset in this group

sums up his character

How is Souttar not playing ? Replace either of the headless chickens and get some composure

[hebangsthedrums]

Thoroughly unpleasant man and we've employed him in vain.

Has he done anything here apart from chase clout on social media?

 

Defense is worse than under Rodgers

Got his handicap down to scratch?

They see them in training can’t come as huge surprise,

t here are other options 

[iancognito]

This place, seriously.

 

Did he ever say he was going to sort it out? Did anyone seriously think we'd suddenly be like Prime Chelsea under Mourinho throwing out clean sheets and shithousing our way to safety?

 

The problem ALL season has been the midfield being completely pourous. Precisely why I used to say Ward (and now Iversen) have no chance of doing anything. There's rarely less than 15-20 shots pinged at our goal each game. You cannot keep clean sheets if your team just allow shot after shot at the goal. Huth and Morgan would have no chance with Tielemans and Soumare in front of them.

Not a good look is it really all those pics around London and then putting in a performance like that, I know he's not playing but he opens himself up to stick doesn't he!

Can't really blame Terry too much, the ship was wrecked long before he arrived at the club!

Done a 15km, done more miles than our 11 combined today

[Aleksz]

How on earth is Terry getting pelters 

 

No doubt the same people who supposedly clapped the players off at full time today.

[cruzFOX]

Why oh wy is mendy not playing?

[ronnup]

Has done nothing

All our Belgians have had too many Pralines..

Tielemans couldn’t run to the shops for his mam

Castagna carry’s his name on a string..

Praet only turns up on his choosing..

 

That said not one ,not two could we rely on to carry us through the bad times.

The team imploded awhile back, 3 Amigos came far too late.

Maybe 8 weeks earlier we had a chance

The Leicester city Midfield ,well even Stanley wouldn’t have started an expedition.

Rodgers lost them,or better said gave up on them…promised & took away.

Sight seeing? He was up at 6am this morning out for a run 😂

[fuchsntf]

I don’t reckon we should be giving Terry Pelters,no sarcastic jabs have any base,it was too ****ed before he came…Any individual defensive lapses came from the midfield & a DM well off form..

 

I do believe Mendy would have added more of a rod,but he wouldn’t have saved us alone,just like Soyuncu,Souttar can’t be expected to…

 

[ourla]

I don't think anyone was expecting Terry to sort things out as such but... I think we've become worse defensively game by games since the arrival. And that's despite being able to play Cags.

Again.. too often pressure from own Midfield,knocks you back too often..

...I think a clear-the-air meeting is required by the players without the manager and his staff being involved!!!

There was a poster that posted that the players were not getting along, and we all need to be pulling in the same direction. Pearson did that a few times, sometimes a true and frank conversation is what you need.

  Perhaps the team has become fractured due to pro and anti-Rodgers factions, we cannot afford another performance such as this one, but you do feel that something is very wrong in this group.

Our fan base is amazing. Who on earth could sort this out this late in the season? 

 

Reading the forums tonight has really shown me how delightful our fans are.

[themightyfin]

If JT has the duties of sorting the defence out then I'm not sure what he can do .

The Midfield 3 are basically letting team's stroll past them putting so much pressure on the back 4 it's inevitable that they will fold at some point. 

Our full backs are exposed as there is little help from our attacking wide men and the CBs are exposed as there is little bite or energy in the middle of the park in front of them.

The Midfield looks so jaded,  it seems if we don't win the first ball we are done for, as we are second best to the 2nd and 3rd balls.

When we Lose posetion we are so slow to recover in transition and the back 4 are immediately exposed.

[Royston.]

Smith probably took the job on the condition he could bring Terry. Don't see what JT has to offer at all.

 

We probably didn't want JT but couldn't risk being turned down by Marsch and Smith.

Probably didn't want JT? What makes you think that?

No idea how you have come up with that? What's your  logic there?
