With your obsession of Forest and mine of that dwarf, it’ll be good to see our worlds collide 😂

 

A couple of Forest fans I’ve seen really really don’t want him anywhere near their club. Seems like he’s held in less regard with clubs he’s never managed than he is with ones he has managed 

I personally think they go for Ange or try for Marco Silva once Nuno goes, probably the former given they'd have the double whammy of paying off Nuno on a contract he's just signed and Fulham's likely desire for an eye watering compensation package.

Felt like every time we went away to a minnow in Europe we had massive issues with Brendan. His record in Europe is very poor.

Hate brendan as much as the next guy but this isn't correct realistically. 

Away at 'minnows' (very much up for debate who fits into this):

AEK won 2-1

Zorya lost 1-0 but still won group.

Slavia 0-0 then bottled at home.

Randers walloped 3-1.

Legia away abysmal performance but not counting them as minnows, Villa also got done there

So 2W, 1D, 2L.

 

Not exactly great is it? Only one decent win and even then we failed to keep a clean sheet.

 

Should be winning all of those games with the budget and squad available to him.

To be fair on him, he got his act in order last season and got them through to the knockout stages. 

That's what's hurting the fans so much, they thought this season in Europe was going to the same if not better than last year. 

 

Last night was all about the players and manager but is being spun to be the boards fault. 

His recruitment has been poor, Hatate, Miaeda, were Ange singings and look stale. 

£9m for Idah.......£12m on Engles.  Both on the bench.

 

Tierney was brought back on really good wages and hasn't managed 90 mins yet.

Napoli

Roma

 

 

Not minnows, but winnable games we didn’t even bother to try to win- especially Roma away

Scottish football is at the same quality level as Luxembourg or San Marino. 

Rangers are, mainly because they are recruiting from EPL and championship clubs.

He'll be lucky to be in a job tomorrow. 

 

For non Old firm fans in Scotland, these 2 nights have been magnificent 😀, 

 

Social media is made for weeks like this.

He had a shocking record at Celtic first time round didn't he? At Liverpool before that, too. Such a weird manager. Obviously has some real talent and knowledge, but then such glaring flaws that he seems to have no interest in working on.

Would love to know how many times we came from behind under Rodgers. Always felt like once the opposition bagged you might as well just stop watching, incredible how little urgency his sides seem to have 

We did quite a lot in the Covid days. Two of the more famous wins away at Man City and the Nacho 94th minute goal v Everton were from behind.

Yeah those two came to mind but I've had a flick through the results and to say "quite a lot" is generous lol

In relation to how many times he bottles 2-0 leads as well.
