Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

This team would beat the invincibles for me. This is the best version of a Rodgers team we've seen.

 

Another top winger is crucial - that's what we'll prioritise you'd think.

 

He needs to learn to read the room

 

Been a real critic of him last season but think that sort of stuff is hilarious. Hope he keeps on doing it.

 

Thats the level that we should be aiming to bring in to a greater extent in the next window and beyond. Projects are ok, you'll unlock a gem now and, but it should never have been the mainstay of our recruitment policy.

Buy an Engels type for a greater fee, but the rewards in 2 or 3 seasons are vast when they go for 4/5 times their price. The board should have done this first time round with BR. An elite manager, one we are lucky to have.

 

The press and off the ball work is night and day compared to even under Ange.

Yes we had a great intensity with Ange but it wasn’t really a press. Individuals like Kyogo, Maeda and O’Riley just full pelt sprinting at someone, and when they got bypassed we were wide open, particularly in Europe.

Now there’s proper triggers and it’s synchronised the way it’s done.

 

100% agree and better than Ange's for me..

This Rodgers side is the most complete we've seen..

 

Spot on..

Was just saying this side is better than an Ange one for me and you've summed up a big reason why. Our front 3 hunt and packs and are backed up by the midfield triggering in to action and a high back line..

This is the best and most fluent Celtic side we've seen in years in my opinion. We don't give up many chances either and barely have in any games...although I appreciate tougher tests lie ahead..

 

It’s certainly miles ahead in the GK-CB area, and the midfield is better balanced than Rodgers Mk1. Probably getting to the stage now where the front 3 is comparable; same with RB.

 

Brendan is on our side 100%. He left us in the lurch but that was a power move, you watch. He's putting real pressure on the board and slowly creating the winning environment so that they really don't have much choice.

 

The Joe Hart video makes sense as to why we were dysfunctional for majority of last season. We were so insanely well drilled into a style under Ange that it took far more work to change that than I thought.

I also think Rodgers has us playing out from the back much better. We seem to know when to push it quickly on a counter or just be patient with it and it's not just McGregor showing for the ball now. Everyone trying to make themselves an option.

 

Guy has been outstanding since the turn of the year

 

Love him. A great servant to this wonderful club.

As much as I liked Hart, I think Schmeichel is a big reason for this. It’s basically like having a midfielder playing passes. He is unreal with the ball.

 

Totally agree.

Even against the huns we scored some of the best team goals i’ve seen in a long time, especially the one that was comically called offside.

 

Too early to compare this side to the Invincibles or Ange's side imo, only been a few months they've really been purring, a few weeks if you think of this side as the one with Engels and Schmeichel in it. Need to wait and see over the season and judge it then.

What I will say is the football been played over the last few weeks is at least as good as either of those sides.

 

Confirmed what I'd been saying watching Joe last night. A lot of fans put it purely down to poor recruitment (sack the board grrrr) but there were so many things that made things get to where they were at our worst. The transition from Ange to Rodgers and everything that went with it, was a huge factor.

It's been nothing short of miraculous how Brendan has stuck to the task and turned it around, to the point we're now talking about being at our peak level post MON era. Amazing man.
