Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

This....100%
It was our own (bad) decision and has happened multiple times this season, especially v rangers.

Unnecessary substitutions (again) really don't help.
We don't (yet) have the defensive minded players or mental strength/confidence to run a big game down so far out from the end.

We just need to play our normal game for much, much longer, run the game down last 10mins when we are 2 ahead not 1.

 

Missed penalty, poor finishing from Idah, Maeda not staying on side. It could have been a cricket score. It got nervy, but the huns had to score to keep the title alive. We saw the game through though and Joe Hart didn’t have to make a save.

 

We really do need to clear the deadwood aswell, we’re saying that since Ange’s first season and seems to just be more and more each window since. When ye think of the amount of players in the squad nowhere near the level required it’s madness. Hopefully bring in quality in 4-5 key positions and try offload 10-12 players that aren’t gonna make it, couple of loans also.

 

Another manager of theirs that's handcuffed to the 4th official for 90 minutes every week claiming for everything..

I despise this Belgian *..

 

Was obvious weeks ago Prof. Many of us were saying it..

He was badly badly rattled and it's shown..

Shown a real weakness for an experienced coach who probably thinks he's above Scottish football. Crumbed spectacularly when it came to the crunch..

His interviews
His tactics of route one L O L
His substitutions
The fact they haven't been able to beat us or really look close

Love it..

 

This is just a ridiculous thing to come away with.

 

Rewatching it again....If our finishing was on point we are talking around 7 or even 8 goals yesterday.

The Penalty Miss,Maeda offsides,Calmac,Kyogo twice,Matts misses.

We * Schooled them again...Such a shame 1 more didnt go in because i believe they would have folded even more.

 

We dominated the game they had 1 shot on Target in 90 minutes not sure what more you’re wanting defensively to give them 1 shot on target in 95 minutes.

We had plenty of chances and should have been 5-1 at least, subs were needed Hatate was miles off it Kyogo had no real joy Idah got more but poor finishing from him.

so tell me what we should of done different limiting our biggest rivals to one shot on goal in 95 minutes is good going

 

Rodgers maybe the greatest Hun skelper ever. His record against that mob is tremendous.

 

Was a wee bit nervous towards the end but Ralston and Iwata made us more solid at a point they were going gung-ho. Another goal would have made it look more comfortable, but never really felt to me like we weren't going to win yesterday.

Yes, the football wasn't as good the whole game as against Hearts the week before, but it was still a comfortable win against them.

Rodgers himself pointed to the play after the penalty as needing to be better and an opportunity to do better. That's a good thing I'd say.

 

Yep the only defeat being meaningless....and him going away to England.

Its unreal.

 

Hopefully he gets good money to spend in the summer and can buy the type of players he needs. Powerful and quick please.

 

The Board won't be happy if he gets all the fans on his side, as they'll need to back him more

 

I said I would forgive him if he won the league; so as of yesterday afternoon, I forgive him. I can think of a few Celtic managers that wouldn't have won this league with the players Rodgers has had available for much of the season, and I don't just mean the obvious ones like Brady, Macari, Barnes or Mowbray.

 

Now we get the Double and then look forward to a much much much much better season in Europe

 

Everyone knows it's hard to pick a team up after a treble. Afterall what else is there to win? You see it across the world football. On top of that, we got rid of some phenomenal players and replaced with * all. Then, an injury crisis. Tbh I don't know many managers who could manage what he's done. He even knows there's room for massive improvement, and tbh I think we will get it. Then again when he does leave I'm a couple years, he will leave us stronger than when he came here. Some man. I'm fully on his side now.


But he still does talk *

 

For me it's the subs, I always think he * the subs.

Seems to make bad subs or not enough.

He also seems to ruin the subs where we are left with 1 sub to make and you know they he won't make that last one until near the end incase someone is injured.

Seems to not realise we have 5 subs now and can freshen things up while on top and not wait until people are tiring and we bring pressure on ourselves by which point he's usually made 1 or 2 subs and * it anyway.

 

We have made hard work of a season that we had built a healthy lead over our rivals and let them back in. And we should be under no false illusions, it was a weak SPL this season.

Rodgers still has a lot to prove for me and that includes in europe as well as I feel history has taught us what to expect from a BR side in terms of performances and the board need to give him the tools he needs.

Both board and the manager have to get to work and get the off season right and go into the season fit, ready with bodies in the door.

Rodgers wont have the recruitment excuse to use next season.
