Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

7 out of 8

 

Log off mate.

 

GK LB CDM LW ST are quite simply absolute musts at this point. I would like another RB on top of that as I think Ralston is miles off it

 

He spent the week bumming up that hun * McAnus.

 

He'll be gone by Christmas

 

It's alarming as *..

Our midfield is wipe open and we're no even really trying to play out of the press much, just happy to go route one and almost always giving it away in those situations..

There has been wee phases in the final third where we look sharp and Kyogo has been influential in that wee switch up of dropping deeper and linking the play. Today though I seen him 50 yards from goal when we were needing an equaliser..

Big big improvements needed..

 

The biggest downgrade in the Summer we could have made was Ange to Brendan. His football is excruciating! We look a completely different side to last season. Ripped up all that was good about us, that performance was reminiscent of the Covid season.

Didn't want him back and the first three games so far have proven exactly why. I used to be excited to watch every game under Ange, didn't want to miss a minute. But already I feel deflated tuning in and watching this absolute * he's serving up.

Dodgy signings, key players regressing, starting the same players that clearly do not work, bringing on Turnbull to change a game.

Gonna be a long season unless there's a dramatic change somewhere.

 

No chance..

 

He can * right off now if it's gonna be that slow side to side pish

 

His football doesn't touch Ange's. * *.

 

Early, early days. But that was dull.

 

I'm asking myself how the * he thought it's a good idea to come back when he fell out with our board before and Lawwell is now chairman

I thought he at least made sure he get the funds needed to improve the team. After more than two months Rodgers look very weak. Wonder if he really came back to be slaughtered in the CL.

Edit: Didn' want him but for now it's unthinkable for me that we don't somehow improve again. Ww surely can't go straight to his last year here.

 

Ange system also allowed players to move outwith their traditional roles to receive the balls in good areas.

Now it's just flashbacks to Gordon, Boyata and Simunovic passing the ball between each other.

 

Dull would of been a serious upgrade on what I just watched.

 

Think that’s Taylor doing that off his own back because it’s what he knows he’s good at, Taylor in a Rodgers team is utterly pointless as he doesn’t have any of the skills required.

Ralston was showing signs last season if not being good enough even as back up, think it’s hard to argue that now, * chronic today and his only pass is backwards.

 

That shorter passing and movement game under Ange also ran opponents into the ground. Kilmarnock would have been out on their feet on 80 mins today, yet instead they looked like they could have comfortably held out for another 80.

Other than the extra time semi defeat to the Huns which could have gone either way, we didn't lose a single game with something riding on it domestically under Ange. We've lost the first one we've played under Rodgers.

Need to get players in sharpish now and give him the tools to sort this out.

 

Last 5 games against Killie under Ange..

Won 5 scored 17 conceded 1..

I think its clear to say we have gone backwards, rapidly.

 

It's going to be a * dog fight this season isn't it.

Two shiters going at it.
