Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Facts

 

Just your memory. There have been far worse. None have been good.

 

Really impressed with how he’s modernised his tactics this season. Not an easy thing to do.

You can tell he’s really worked over the summer. Maybe with Lawwell leaving he really was given the keys and it’s spurred him on for this season.

The football is a delight to watch, like it was under Ange.

 

I know im jumping way ahead but it's going to be really difficult going from rodgers twice and ange to try and get another manager in of similar quality, the difference a top manager makes is enormous.

Watching the huns go through managers like a revolving door and even lennons second
stint here shows the difference it can make for the whole trajectory of a football club.

 

That's a fair comment. It is much better than last seasons turgid ball.

 

The football he's got us playing is so good, I feel like you seen a glimpse of it at the start of last season, but it started to fall apart come October when injuries started piling up.

He's now close to having the perfect squad for him, we're one winger away.

 

Absolutely. Credit where it’s due, I slaughtered it last season because it was awful. It should be rightly praised because it’s been great this season.

 

Should be treated the same as scouting players in that we have a contingency plan and 2 or 3 coaches we're keeping an eye on for when the time arises.

Iraola link was a good one before BR reappointment as you see what he's done with Vallecano and Bournemouth. Guy Hurzeler from St Pauli gone to Brighton and will do a job. Pure laziness that we reappointed Lennon in 2019 tbh.

Board accidentally struck gold with Ange.

 

He's going to have a lovely selection headache as none of Scales, Taylor or Bernardo deserve to be dropped.. never mind Kyogo..

 

Ange #2 in a few years I reckon .

 

Should back him heavily in January and then try and get him to sign a 2 year extension. He is exceptional.

 

I think the response on here was overwhelmingly positive when he was rumoured to being reappointed.

Even when he left the vast majority on this board were incredibly measured, realising his fractured relationship with Lawwell and the lack of backing he received in his first spell.

The idiotic banner from the Green Brigade fuelled an unnecessary fire. If the guy wasn’t a Celtic supporter, he would be absolutely nowhere near this club, on the two occasions he’s worked here.

Absolutely love the guy.

 

Football is frightening atm. Maybe recent bias but I think it’s better than anything under Ange. We look very solid at both ends.

We weren’t great a lot of last year. In the CL though I thought we were pretty decent in 5/6 of the games. AM being the one that was horrible, but we had 10 men most of the game and had started well tbf.

I think we have the squad now to go and do well in Europe. I think we will qualify for a play off tie. Can see us getting 10 at very minimum hopefully more.

 

Aye he's been superb!

 

The last six months or so have been incredible. Delighted with the job he's doing.

 

This season has been superb so far. No complaints from me!
