Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Aye, Hatate is key for us. I think a lot have forgotten just how good he is. In Ange’s final season, he was the best midfielder in the country. Injuries completely gubbed last season for him though. Keeping him fit will go a long way to us being successful this season. He seems to be enjoying his football again as well which is a huge plus.

 

Can we please offer Brendan an extended contract.
Without him we wouldn’t have won the league last season, no doubt about that.
He has us playing the way we know he can.
He has improved so many players already this season.
He knows how a big club should be set up and run.
Just do it Celtic.

 

My theory is Rodgers is quite a technical manager
He has a dossier printed out for every match that gets handed to players even has a profile on the chosen ref for the game ange liked to keep it simple and stick to that formation and don’t break it

Who would he replace though? Because at this moment I don’t want kyogo, Maeda or Kuhn dropped. I’m actually really happy with the squad for once. I’d prefer us to give some opportunities to any promising young players we have coming through whilst there’s a chance. Maybe even at left back giving frame or Anderson their chances too if Taylor ends up leaving/contract expiring

 

Think he’s being found out for that exact thing down at spurs now

 

I love Rodgers again.

I'll love him even more if he starts getting result in Europe.

 

It's taken me a while but the last few months of the season to this is my favourite version of him..

No bullshit. Swagger and fight in him when it was right on top at that point and he's been class, witty and conposed. Shown his worth and then some..

Even in his first spell I struggled to listen to him much. Always thought he talked utter * and could see through him, even though I didn't expect him to leave how he did. I'd always turn off any interviews, pressers or whatever but enjoy his ones now..

 

This is it for me basically look to swap out Nawrocki and Palma for a new centre back and left winger. Depending how the midfield is looking perhaps another player in there but that might be the summer.

Try get Bernabei away permanently and Tilio. Holm and Yang possibly on loan.

 

Aye, taking no prisoners on or off the pitch.

 

We won't be far off. Only thing I'd say is I'd rather punt Yang before Palma..

New winger, centre half and possible third type option up top is the 3 positions we should be looking at in January I think. Signing Valle as well obviously if he performs and it's doable..

 

He's obviously got the measure of teams domestically but it's in Europe where we will see how far both him and our team have came

 

I’m still not keen on him myself. I thought we struggled last season more than we should have. And Europe was a shambles tactically. So he has plenty to prove just purely as a manager. On a personal level, I’ll never trust the * again… snake in the grass! lol

 

A bit like yourself Master Bateman.

 

Not at all my man… honest as the day is long. A man’s word is his honour!

 

You appear every so often to post about how we will struggle in Europe or after a defeat. Can spot you a mile away. It was funny seeing you pop up after we have absolutely spanked the huns. Then I saw it was to post in a thread to say Rodgers is clueless and we will struggle in Europe.

 

I will like Brendan as long as we keep getting results and stick to the script .

Seriously, I like the new version of Rodgers on display just now, confident, assured and witty, all good combinations, and he looks on top of his game.

The key for the Board will be to keep Brendan happy, ambitious and well funded for any future, necessary transfer targets.

Rodgers's footballing stock is rising again, and other clubs will have noticed his managerial resurgence, so we must do our utmost to keep him contented and committed to the cause.

 

We struggled in the first half of the season and I honestly feel that was because the club as a whole was in a depression over Ange leaving.

I don't think anyone that we could've realistically got in the dugout could've lead the team over the line like Rodgers did. We finished the last 12 games extremely strong.

Europe has been awful for more than the last decade. He wasn't backed either for the first two windows. We made project signing after project signing. We had no signings from Rodgers' transfer windows start in the Scottish Cup final.

I'm hoping we will turn a corner in Europe now that he has spent some money and we've a favourable draw.

I'm glad and stood by his decision and owned it when he came back. He was right with what he said. Football doesn't have any loyalties any more. Look at Tierney.

We all thought that one of the reasons he left first time around was because of not being backed. We didn't back him again, but have started to. It's encouraging because that's what we as fans want, too.

I'm under no illusion that he'll probably back off to the EPL in the next 2 or 3 years but as long as he sets us up for future successes, who cares?
