Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Today has absolutely nothing to do with the manager - we should have won that game today. The penalty miss was a massive game changer, compounded by the sending off and then their so called penalty which was disgraceful. After that you're on a hiding to nothing. Keep the faith

 

For Celtic in the league, going down to 10 men hasn't been as big of a deal as it is for other teams. We still dominate the ball and often still win. The fact that the moment it went to 10 men today you just knew it was * only shows how absolutely dogshit Rodgers has made this team. The fact a game like today matters so much is also a horrible reflection on Rodgers as a manager because the league should be over with the gap we had. This is another * game in a large collection of * games under this *. There should be zero forgiveness or sympathy from the support today. You live and die by the results and he's * it again. The happy clappers defended him for too long and look where we are. If you still give him anything other than deserved *, you are lost. We win this game last season, 10 men or not

 

My respect for BR has gone up today simply because he's called out the cheating. Finally!!!

 

This.

Horrific officiating made it an impossible task.

 

I don't know how this is relevant, I thought Idah played very well apart from the missed penalty, I was referring to high balls played to Kyogo.

 

So called fans with low post counts coming on here trying to pin it on Rodgers away tar * back to follow follow with the pissy narrative your trying to create

The way you worded it came across as if you were saying we put Kyogo on for the purpose of hitting high balls to him. Which would obviously be ridiculous.

 

Just watched Brendan’s post match interview and I am glad he brought up and condemned those two decisions. Another he could have brought up was Cochrane’s lack of yellow cards when he had enough fouls to be sent off twice!

I was quite livid and disgusted after the game. Not in the players or manager or even the opposition but by the referees who basically made it their win. The feeling of being cheated is worse than being beaten!

 

I know it will be hard for some to see this, many fans go on results alone to dictate how they feel we played.

But the football today, although not goals galore, is still in the same effort as Dundee and second half Motherwell for me.

The passing was a lot quicker (albeit they closed us down more), we tried to attack a lot more with movement looking more positive for sure.

Yea some sideways passing - it happens every game for every team, we just highlight it more when we get annoyed with it - but it wasn't sideways for the sake of just keeping the ball.

On the whole I think we played positive and well, not well enough to combat the cheating mind you.

The result was decided by Beaton, never a red card and never a penalty. Too many examples of both being the opposite this season alone.

Take those two moments out the equation, even our very soft penalty as well and it is a completely different game.

Even if it was still 0-0 at half time, both teams with 11 on the park, that second half is a lot different.

Rodgers called it out, brilliant to hear.
Rodgers was not at fault for the result today.

One of the few games I'll say the refs done us. They can usually be very poor and I'll usually say that doesn't excuse our bad performances.

But today, our performance wasn't that bad, the refs were shocking though.
They decided the result, not the two teams playing football.

Mon Brendan...ask for the audio footage to be released!

 

I despise him and want to see him gone for what he did on us but today was definitely not his fault. Stevie Wonder can see that! That * beaton was at it and got his way! We draw a line under it and move on. The Huns will drop more points between now and the end of season and I fully expect us to beat them at parkhead with full strength team and in a few weeks at ibrox, well get a draw or win!

Keep the faith. We're not out of this by a long shot!

 

If there's one thing that's up to Brendan after today it's...tell the players to go long at Adam even when we are with 11 men on the pitch. It really suits him.

 

Don’t think BR deserves any criticism today. Thankfully Sevco haven’t gained anything on us. Destiny still in our hands. Equally a frustrating game. We score the penalty and could have been a very different outcome.

 

It's quite similar to the one St Mirren got against Aberdeen yesterday. The attacker managed to get between the defender and the ball and the defender caught him. Penalties like that I think are soft but they're nearly always given.

 

Watched his interviews, fair play Brendan. Earned my respect back, now go and smash the huns.

 

I really don't understand why Rodgers continues to play with wingers. It seems pretty obvious that our wingers are not up to it. Surely it is time to go 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-2. Get Kyogo into the team probably with Idah but wouldn't be against a Kyogo/Maeda partnership. A pressing machine.

I still fully expect us to line up 4-3-3 with wingers who don't offer any consistency. It will cost us the league.

 

Tbf mate yang was quality coming on against Motherwell and against Dundee, sure he even won us the peno early on…. Unfortunately he was sent off but if he wasn’t he would’ve caused them problems. Maeda needs dropped for palma though.

I also wouldn’t be against 3-5-2 but best I seen us play in ages was with yang n aj terrorising the right side against Dundee. I think we should maybe stick with it at this stage…. He may change though if we don’t appeal yangs red and he’s suspended

 

Yeah that would be ridiculous

 

Maybe it would be slightly unfair on Yang bit a decent game here and there wouldn't make me view him as some sort of answer. It has been clear all season that the 4-3-3 is not working and that we miss Jota badly. We have tried multiple combinations, Maeda/Palma, Maeda/Kuhn, Palma/Yang, Palma/Kuhn. * we even tried Mikey Johnston for a while. Nothing is really clicking.

One thing about Rodgers in his first spell was that he wasn't really afraid to change it up tactically from time to time. He has been so rigid though since his return.....
