Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Our defence plays like its just done a video on only fans with 5 black guys.

 

Except we get finished on more

 

A spade's a spade. A rancid *'s a rancid *. Don't like it? You could always go to Kerrydale Street where they star the bad language out. I'd also suggest using parental settings on your streaming services, wouldn't want a rogue Hun descriptor popping up and giving you a heart attack

 

Did you only see that bit of what he said or that? Because that’s pretty much what The Sun headline of the full quote would be.

I don’t mind the Forrest praise at all, because by all accounts he’s still a massive part of the dressing room, in training, professionalism setting a standard.

well respected throughout the full club.

And I can see what he was saying, and it’s showing what is expected from those infront of him because he wants intensity and the legs as well as ability. Saying that, I only think it’s a good wee dig for the others to step up if during the training kickabouts he’s still running riot and the others see why he’d say it.

Ange’s judgement on here is pretty much gospel, as it should cos he got that respect himself and proved it, and him talking about Forrest and why he got an extension shows you he brings a lot even not playing anymore. And also not a high paid squad player anymore. The fact he had a lot of offers to leave and play, but wants to be a one club Celtic man, love that man.

 

Defending was iffy, not diabolical or upto Stephen Craigan’s level apparently.

But the two goals conceded, * unreal finishes the both of them, 2 goals that would rarely happen from they positions.

The two headers they had, one their player didn’t make the most of it the other we could rely on the keeper. Those were worse for me. And same old problems, that we got better at and had a few snippets about working on it in training, that feels like we worked on it said great we’re better now and then stopped doing that.

 

I thought oriley’s defending was stinking for that goal but yeah brilliant finish. To be honest I was never worried in the game. We always looked in control and the much better team. It’s understandable to lose goals when we’re missing Cal and Cam. We all know how important they are to the side.

 

That’s it for me really mate, too much switching in defence so it’s never settled and formed natural partnerships and understanding between players. And not just that, usually when it’s been that like it has all year, Calmac babysits it. He goes back and talks and covers and is always available if a player misjudges where the easy pass to the guy next to him will be. Calmac is there and fine to take a panicky toe poke of a pass to his knee with a couple guys around him.

Then that options not there either, Tomoki makes sure he’s in space as well and available but they need to know where he is and get the ball to him, rather than always knowing ‘Callums always there and I know he is’

And that’s when it’s disjointed and doesn’t feel that seamless way when guys know what the player next to them, or infront of them, or behind them are going to do because they’ve had 20/30 games together.

And that’s been a thing all season. Scales is getting it tight right now and his forms dipped a bit I know but I can’t believe how under the radar it’s went that he’s patched up every defensive change around him for the majority of the year. He needs CCV back now. We all do, honestly CCV fit for every league game till the end of season, we win the league. We don’t if he misses 50% odd.

 

Just listened to his after game interview for the first time there - honestly, angry Rodgers and not playing the ‘genius’ philosophical manager role model manager character that he likes to portray is much better.

More honest, prickly, and less bullshit from him. And since we’ve seen more of angry Brodge, we’ve also seen a few being booted out the club that were floating about like Lawwell, his mate that left with him, Bernabei.

And he also in that time absolutely ripped to shreds Beaton and officiating up here. And doubled down, in the exact way that is usually demanded off of those in charge, demanded but rarely happens. The last few interviews I’ve seen from him, I like the edge, and the sticking up for the club and the officials thing after they said he’s getting brought for a possible ban, that’s spot on.

Slowly getting back on board with him, I was on board for respecting his credentials and ability as a manager, but slowly turning round to him and backing him for they intangibles if he keeps up showing what he actually feels and believes, and drops the facades he does often. Since Janaury window closed, he’s not * about. Don’t say good girl again but, tbat was daft

 

Ironically, the way you spoke about our manager is the way I’d expect a hun to do so.

 

He ended his interview yesterday with “good man”. Was that ok for everyone who was getting offended the other week?

 

The blame for this season lies with one man and one man only St Brendan

 

Abysmal patter

 

I wasn't a big fan of Rodgers coming back and the football we have played since going out of Europe has been abysmal. In saying that he is starting to show some of the anger that our board fails to, and at least he realises, if others at the club don't, that the situation is code red. Failure to bring in quality and experience in January is not only biting our *, but threatening to bite us in half. There is no room for error. He knows that. We have the media on one side jumping with glee at our situation and a complicit cabal of referees unable to hide their clear bias. The SFA are going to hammer him, while the Belgian waffle and his knuckle dragging lackeys can say what they want. I'm hoping this can bring the fans and team together for the rest of the season, and at least support the manager till then.

If Rodgers can get us to win this title it will be a major achievement now and we are far from out of it.

 

I don't know how he can do it... but if he wins the league. It will be some achievement given how rotten we've been with him at the helm.

Fingers can be pointed all over the place about other impacting factors but he really should be getting more out of the squad. We are nearing the end of the season and still, he refuses to properly use Kyogo.

 

It's terrible man management IMO. Even if he thinks it's true (which I doubt), what does he gain by saying this?

 

A lot of things are on the manager; but that certainly isn't. That's on Mark Lawwell and Joe Dudgeon.

 

Absolutely, mate. I couldn't agree more. I still can't get over his response to going out of the CL.

 

There is one thing he could say that would make me change my mind about him.
In the press conference before next hun match he asks the reporters “Why do you call rangers the same club as the previous one who died in 2012?”
They died because they were tax cheats.
