Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Lovely, lovely football.

I don't care what happens against the likes of Dortmund and Atalanta (a few more windows like the last and we'll be good enough that I'll start to care; but for now, I don't think we're ready); but keep up this kind of football domestically and do well against our peer competitors (Bratislava, Young Boys and Zagreb) and I'll start to fall in love again.

 

I listened to Brendan’s interview, doesn’t sound too hopeful for CCV.

 

Everyone still bored of the football?

This is the best football we have played in a long time. It’s every bit as good as Ange’s style going forward, with a better structure defensively.

 

It's definitely getting close. Consistency this season has been good, other than the Hearts game. Still not as exciting as Ange's first season for me but if we get any type of result on Tuesday I might start to consider that.

 

Angeball was better in regards to pure entertainment because it was an exercise in Shock and Awe written large upon teams. This is different, in that it feels more clinical and strategic... It feels like someone crunched the numbers in an exercise in Lean and Optimised System and we're enacting a project to Eliminate Waste, and now we're moving into the fine tuning portion...

I'm very worried that I'm getting carried away too quickly, or leaving myself open to getting rolled over by management/players leaving or the board doing it's usually about-face, but it really feels like we're going for the next phase this time... We've all talked this "good game" for so long now it feels like a danger we're inventing it in our own heads at this point...
