Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Good man

I'm fully on board with wee Brendany all the way now

 

Too many were getting carried away around Xmas. The teams we were putting on the park were absolutely *, so dropping points was to be expected. Agree that the football was rank rotten at times, but when we had our main players back the performances improved drastically. I don’t think there’s another manager we could realistically bring here that gets us over the line last season.

 

Brendan Rodgers was impressed with his team’s performance in today’s League Cup clash with Hibernian at Celtic Park.

The Hoops cruised to a 3-1 victory to book their place in the quarter-final of the competition, where they will face another home tie, this time against Falkirk.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the match, the Celtic manager said: “I thought it was a very good performance.

“We started the game ever so well, with the tempo and speed we wanted. We got the goals early on and then we continued in that manner.

‘Over the course of the game, the speed of our play, the attacking moments, we looked very good and we played very well.’

“We weren’t troubled too much. Every throw in was coming in to the box and deep free-kicks were coming in to the box, but I thought we dealt with that well.”


Daizen Maeda was given the task of playing as Celtic’s lone striker, and he stole the show at Celtic Park, with his two first-half goals setting the tone for the match.

Speaking about the impact of the Japanese forward on today’s match, Brendan Rodgers said: “I have absolutely no doubt that he can play there. I’ve seen a lot of him with Celtic and with Japan.

“His two goals today were very good, getting to the first post which we want our strikers to do and running in behind which we want them to do. They’re two very good goals.”

The Celts will face Falkirk at Celtic Park in the last eight of the League Cup, and Brendan Rodgers says he is looking forward to the challenge of facing John McGlynn’s side.

“It doesn’t mater who you get, you want to be at home,” he said. “But I’m also glad to be able to see John McGlynn. He was a great staff member for me when I was here first time.

“It’ll be a tough game for us because they’re coming with confidence, but we’ll be ready by the time that game comes.”

 

Even though we are still a few quality players short of where we want to be and still maybe overplaying the ball at times - we look a much more cohesive team than what we were for the majority of last season. Got to give Rodgers his fair dues for that...

Some of the passages of play have been great to watch.

 

We look like scoring nearly every time we go up the park. Got to hand it to the manager, we've been much more entertaining in the early stages.

Tempo has been much better than last season and the press is noticably better organised and relentless.

Last season was dire in large patches and he has to take the blame for that, but I think the potential is there if sufficient quality is added. I think we can make a dent in Europe.

 

Agree with this. He's already went up a level and can keep on climbing if we get some quality additions. Mental how quickly things changed last season just out of the blue, he deserves massive credit for turning it round.

 

Started filming already mate here's a still from a room in Lawells house.

 

He must be pulling his hair out , the way another window is panning out.

 

100% the board and him must be on a collision course

 

I hope he walks!! Love him as our manager and as I’ve stated I was delighted he returned. * the board and do us all a favour Brendan.

 

He won't walk until he has another job lined up

 

You want our manager to walk? Weird behaviour..
