Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Should of been 3 or 4 subs even before half time. He needs to be dropping Scales, Hatate and Taylor for at least 5/6 games. He can drop McGregor as well for a good few.

 

They always seem to be better than us (more than not anyway), even if we win. Their players want it more for some reason. Just don't understand it.

We always come away with "even though we were *, we still won" which is fine but it will catch up eventually, like today.

 

The same embarrassment that has us 11 points ahead. Can’t win them all and today was pish but look at the bigger picture and stop wetting your pants.

 

I’m said a few weeks ago I could see the old Rodgers creeping back in. Tippy tappy, passing back old * and was told I was talking *. Welllll, that’s exactly what we got today. No urgency, no fight. Just pass around and see what happens.

 

* it today..

But, we've has 2 defeats all season, we need to remain calm.

 

Need to see his 8nterview , since Sky have jumped to Dundee ffs

 

He got it wrong today, both with how we set up and not making subs at half time.

Our chance creation has dropped massively over the past month which is our biggest issue at the moment.

 

Tactically he was all over the place today, and in the cup final, and against Brugge, and looked clueless against Zagreb.

I really like him but we are very one dimensional to the point if Kuhn has a bad game we’re so uncreative.

He pushed the two number 8s far too high leaving us so exposed when we lost the ball, which was often.

Then the debacle of the same team emerging from the tunnel at half time. I laughed when I seen it.

How Hatate lasted 74 minutes, I’ll be asking that til my dying day.

Hopefully his ego is bruised and we see him reevaluate what we are currently doing, because we’ve been gash for the last two months.

 

He always seems to revert back to this style.. its his preferred way of playing and it's torture to watch and easy to defend against. We've had some poor performances recently but get away with it because of the opposition, today we were outfought, out paced and outsmarted.. hopefully awake up call..

 

xg of 0.07.

Holy * that is astonishingly bad.

 

I reckon he's played a blinder kept that baldy * in a job, and he can go to Lawwell saying the squad's not strong enough.

 

How so.

 

Turgid playing out from the back. Was ludicrous to watch us creep up the pitch, give it a way, then get ruined by a single ball over the top. Every time CCV brought it out of defence, he could walk right up to them, but next play we go back to * passing we can't string together. Pish waste of time.

 

Didn’t look like he learned much from the cup final. Talk is cheap.

 

We were much better in the cup final than we were today. A poor first half granted but we came back and created the chances we needed. Individual errors cost us goals in the final, the entire team performance and tactics cost us today.

 

Honestly the way the team was set up and tactics was really poor.

Hopefully he learns from this cause today was absolutely horrendous, but we can have an off day! Just hope in the next game we pull the finger out and it’s just down to a bad day at the office.

 

Calm about the big picture, but disgusted with the whole team performance.

 

It seemed to me like he swept the poor cup final performance under the carpet and didn’t read too much into it with his general chat about cup finals being like that. There in lies the problem.

 

He showed in the cup final he’ll make changes at half time when required so * knows what he was watching today and how he thought the 11 players that started the game should’ve all came back out for the second half.

Our performances at the moment are pretty much solely dependent on whether Kuhn is at it or not. When he isn’t like today we look hopeless and won’t create * all.
