Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

It's a dificult one. He's done what Peter -old firm - lawwell wanted him to do, but most of the fans don't share the same view.

If I was in his position and faced with the choice of sucking Lawwells' * or not working in football again, I'd just chuck it.

 

Sat on it for 24 hours as was absolutely raging after the game.

He needs to go and there’s zero doubt in my mind about that.

Put the board and transfers to the side for a moment and just focus on what we’ve seen on the park this season.

There’s no clear style of play, it’s just side to side pedestrian football with no intensity, no penetration and no creativity. It’s been the same week in, week out and he’s clearly incapable of changing it.

He was lauded for his in-game management during his first spell. When was the last time he made a substitution that changed a game positively? He’s become stale as *. He actually * it yesterday with the subs and could see from the stands he wanted to make another sub around 80 mins but was told you’ve used them all.

He’s also supposed to be a development coach that makes players better. McGregor, Kyogo, Hatate, Maeda, Taylor etc have regressed under him. Who’s got better since he came in? Anyone saying O’Riley is stretching. He was a good player before he came in that had a good start to the season.

I haven’t listened to a full press conference of his since he came back. He is boring as *. There’s no chance he’s inspiring players the way Ange did.

He exposed his weak mindset post game when he said the result wasn’t a surprise. If he is expecting to drop points, then how do you think the players feel / think going into these vital games.

He needs to go. I don’t think we can save this season either way but we won’t gain anything from keeping him around.

 

Anyone think he has told board he away in summer and that why they diddnt back him in jan.
One transfer club wanted to sign and loan to tie us over to summer.
Seems like he for off. He doesn’t seem interested and doesn’t care.
He calling players out for having no balls and been nervous and poor performances
Once a manager does that. There only one outcome. He leaving or getting sacked.

 

I think this could be on the money, seems to just talk a load of nonsense .

 

I suppose we could say that about every * player we have signed. Then again not every * player we have signed has been as grossly mismanaged as these have. And I'll repeat and simplify, we don't really know how bad this lot are , if indeed they are bad, as they have been working under such a poor manager and neither you nor I will ever truly know unless they get a chance under a decent one. A la Stan Petrov.

 

This * no been sacked yet ?

If he’s off in summer then get shot now

start planning for next season ffs

 

We can only base it on what we have seen from the player. What players do you think would have been good signings under a different manager based on what they have shown so far? The summer window was a shambles. We brought in 9 players when we didn’t need that amount. We needed less players with better quality. We’ve got a bloated squad littered with dross. It got trimmed a bit in January to be fair, but it’s still a shitshow.

 

There’s still time to change things around this season if we get in a competent manager able to use our squad to its strengths. Action needs to be taken this week to salvage any form of title hope.

Sadly we all know Brendan's tenure will be dragged deep into overtime, like Lenny's in covid season.

 

This

 

Any other manager been given as much time as this clown that's lost an 8 point gap?

 

I think it is possible. As much as the football was dire, he was finding ways to win before the break. It's a poor squad (especially in terms of who is fit) and IMHO it was only Rodgers' experience that was holding it all together. The stats back me up on that. Now, he isn't.

Something has changed. We're obviously dropping more points; but it's more than that. Yes, the football was boring before; but now we're literally getting outplayed by teams. That's new. I'm genuinely stunned by what I've been seeing at times since we came back.

 

like he keep saying it’s feel different and off since he came back. Players not interested and he doesn’t seems to get tune out them.

 

Actually can’t wait until he’s not our manager

 

If the huns hadn't had such a bad start I think he would have been sacked

 

I wonder if Kennedy remembers all of Ange's tactics.

It would be tempting just to try and get us over the line this season and rebuild in the summer.

 

Do it now, during Norwegian pre season while Knutsen is available. Altho likelyhood is we'd just give it to Kennedy until end of season and finish 10 pts behind huns.

 

We're so passive it's unreal. Other clubs react and have a plan ready to go. Our board seem to double down just to * us off. Obviously that's not the case and they're just totally useless and lack any forward planning or urgency.

We'll just plod along until word is sent by Kim Jung Desmond or Comrade Lawell...

 

You’d think they’d have learned from the Lennon fiasco

 

That's honestly the most frustrating part, they never act quick enough. The time to save the season is sacking him now, but we won't. He doesn't deserve more time, we've had the same * performances since September.

 

Absolutely * not.

He's a * clown and should be nowhere near us next season. He's the one who takes training on a daily basis just like he was under Lennon.

The only good football we've played in the last 5 years was when he was demoted to picking up cones for Ange
