Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

The last five meaningful games for Rodgers have been the Huns twice, Aberdeen Cup Final and Kairat twice. We haven't won any of them.

Rodgers is on a downwards trajectory, we seen the same clear pattern emerging when he was on his last legs at Leicester. Wedded to his rigid 4-3-3, he won't adapt or change. As bad as stubborn Ange and his all out attack philosophy.

 

Is it Brendan Rodgers fault that Nygren couldn't play Yang in on goal when he was through or that Maeda couldn't finish off a 1 on 1? Or is that down to a lack of quality?

 

Nygren isnt a CM. Yang is a RW, not a LW. Maeda isnt a ST but i can see why he played there. That is just the players out of position.

And Yang should never have played anyway. There was literally no one on here wanting a strikeforce of Yang-Maeda-Forrest

 

I've always been a huge fan of BR and I am as furious at the board as the next fan, but these are inarguable facts.

 

Nygren looks far more suited to playing centrally than he does as a winger. Yang isn’t a footballer, but that’s where we are due to recruitment. Maeda plays as a striker for his National Team and scored plenty playing that role last season. Our options are dire in the final 3rd. We have all known for months.

 

Spot on. He had one hand tied behind his back by the board and proceeded to tie the other himself.

 

Concerning. Especially when you watch our games and see that we didn't deserve anything from these games either.

Really need a big pick me up asap.

 

Was like when we played red imps

Can't see it being on Sunday either. We have no midfield.

I think Rangers will steam roller us, and we will be down to a 3 point lead.

 

He isnt a CM though, and he scored two goals against Livingston from RW.

I am 100% confident that we would be better with Maeda-Yamada-Nygren and i think we would have won the game if we went for that.

Putting Yang and Forrest on the pitch is on BR simple as that.
Putting Idah on at all, but worse, put him as first PK taker is on him.

 

No he didn’t. He scored 1 and then got moved centrally, looked far better and scored a second.

 

Maybe he can work there, but not together with Hatate.

I just can't recall ever in my life seeing a Celtic manager do so many wrongs as BR did yesterday. Actually to the point of insanity.

 

We’ve set ourselves up for failure all summer with our inability to adequately find players. Last night should not come as a shock. We’ve seen the move many times before and haven’t learned from our mistakes of going into these games woefully unprepared.

 

Have you seen the huns playing this season? They’re * awful and won’t be stream rollering anybody

 

Agree. I actually thought we would go out even before the first home game. But we should have enough to beat that team with our current squad. Add Kuhn to it and its not far away from what we had last season in the CL.

I think we are in a really * huge mess. It is deeply rooted both at board level and the manager in conflict with them refusing to play "board signings" etc.

I have never been that negative but i think this is no quick fix and that we will be in a bit of a state for a couple of seasons.

 

The manager think Nyrgen is a CM and doesn't view him as a winger.

 

That's my point. I have seen Nygren for quite some time as i am Swedish, and he is not a CM

 

Rodgers doesn't want to put Forrest and Yang on the bench but he doesn't have any attackers he can trust, does he?

Idah actually had a positive inpact when he came on, was actually able to hold the ball up and link the play a lot better, he set up the chance for Hatate.

Nobody is saying that Rodgers didn't get things wrong but its not as if we went out and lost 4-0. We kept clean sheets over 210 minutes and had the chances to win the tie without coughing up any ourselves.

Maeda missed a 1 v 1 in the 90th minute, he blew a late chance at Celtic Park as well. Forrest hit the post at Celtic Park also. Hatate and McCowan missed good chances in extra time and Nygren had 2 good chances also. We had the better chances over the two legs but we didn't have the quality in attack to either finish them off or create more.

 

Won't bother arguing with you. This you're defending of Idah and Scales etc has gone so far you are now ending up on my block list.

 

You shouldn't as its a quality issue. He can't finish off the chances for us, he can't create them for us. It's not as if we left creative players on the bench or he stopped our creative players from playing. We just don't have enough quality in the final third. As he said in the interview, there was a lot of heart and endeavour over the two legs but we didn't have the quality.
