Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Hands in pockets for the majority of the match yesterday. Tactically inert the whole game. I don’t think this is going to end well, board need to get the finger out now!

 

Aye he doesn't seem to have any oomph on the touchline now..

You see Kennedy out whistling and shouting out orders..

The manager looks kinda just happy to be here. Nit picking like * here but half hour to go, drawing and he's no in tune with the game and smiling away to the ball boys when the camera panned in. That's been his demeanour since he's been back..

 

Didn’t we send rodgers on loan to somewhere lester?, why’s he back?
Watched spurs game yesterday, *, I miss Ange running our team spurs scored a classic Ange goal, ball cut back from byline near six yard box for midfielder to run onto and score aaarrrggghhhh I’d have Ange back in a heartbeat

 

So many red flags yesterday and has been since his appointment.

first 5 players in the door, clearly not his players.

The slow movement of adding real quality, the pish about seeing the squad etc when it was clear as day what was needed.

The actual football, tactics and style is way off, we have been poor.

Yesterday showed with the subs and what Rodgers has at his disposal it’s not working, and clearly something is going on behind the scenes in the dressing room too after the social media post from Hacksaw.

If we had to negotiate European qualifying games I think it would be worse.

Treble winning side reduced to this, all overseen by the board.

 

We really need to forget about Ange, serves no purpose to compare.. waste of energy..

 

There is a lot more problems than just not putting the ball in the net mate. We didn’t create a lot of great chance. Enough to win the game aye, but it wasn’t like their keeper was having to pull off save after save. This is a St. Johnstone team that got pumped 4-0 at home to Stirling Albion.

 

Kept saying yesterday mate that they are one of, if no the worst top flight sides I've ever seen..

 

Aye they will go down I think. They are awful. We should be battering them.

 

This was my main concern about him coming back. There was talk of him planning to take a 1 year sabbatical from football, so if that was his mindset going in, is the hunger and determination going to be there?

If that desire is missing (I hope I'm wrong, but honestly it looks like it is) then he needs to discover it sharpish.

 

It’s because he was one of the dirtiest * to play football, it’d be like Joey Barton managing is in 15 year

 

Defo, I get that. They are appallingly bad and should be swept aside. It really should have been 3 nil at half time though, and that would have turned into a romp probably. As the game goes on the pressure builds and it's with players not used to it or as good.
I think it was clear we needed to change things like Maeda and Turnbull and worrying it's left so long.

 

But does that make a difference to his management credentials? Joey Barton is also a fud and not someone who has the CV of Muscat currently, specifically the fluidity of change from Ange to him as was mentioned.

 

Not saying Muscat would have been a great appointment, but he’s as much a Hun as Adam Virgo and Javier Sanchez Broto are mad Tims.

Couldn’t care what he was like as a player, he wouldn’t have been joining us to play.

 

To say he's having problems against a low block is an understatement, he has no clue how to navigate it. Its where Jota or a Jota-like player massively helps.

Thank * County tried attacking us first game, or its more dropped points.

I'm actually glad it's Ibrox next week and not Rugby Park or Livingston away, zero chance we win the latter games.

He needs to learn how to deal with a low block and quick, otherwise he'll be gone by Christmas.

 

This should have rung alarm bells with us. It was obvious Rodgers was always going to implement his own system, yet we continued to make Ange-era signings. Why?

Ultimately, Rodgers is going to have to adapt as I don't think the players can adapt to how he wants them to play. Taylor's not going to be a proper full-back, he wants to be told to run into space and deliver. Haksa's not going to play like a winger, he wants to cut in and have a pop.

With exceptions, there a fair number of one-dimensional players that aren't well-suited to open, free-flowing football. They need structure, specific instructions, and tasks they can confidently perform. He's going to have to give them this or they'll turn up looking lost every week.

 

It makes a difference in how the support would react. Muscat is also a fud. He’s just a fud who seems to be a good manager as well.

But it’d have cracked the support in two and * would go wild, wouldn’t be helpful regardless of if it made sense or no.

Like I said he was a Barton of a *. If he becomes a good manager in the next 15 year odd, would you take him here?

 

As much as I enjoyed the slating Rodgers got yesterday after that draw he is going to turn it around. That is a cert IMO. No chance were going to have a disasterous season like Lenny's last. It's just not going to happen. As much as I dislike him, he's going to get us out of this slump and we're winning that league this year! Just sit back and enjoy because come may well be champions again

 

All it would take for Muscat to win over the supporters is a decent run of results..

We're fickle as *.

 

All it would take for that to disappear and claws and poison to come out is one draw.

He’d be on a hiding to nothing, Celtic Park would be toxic as * on a match day, bad enough at times already.

 

Imagine if maresca had us going 180 minutes without scoring, out of league cup, dropping points at home to st J, * all activity in transfer market and players acting the * on social media
