Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Boring tippy tappy unimaginative *. Eye bleeding.

 

Needs to look at what he's doing. Absolute dung today and for the last few months.

 

I’m generally a big fan of his. Wanted him back, have backed him when the chips have been down, but have also been honest when he could and should have done much better. Today is one of those days.

Disgraceful level of complacency, and it’s not the first time that’s reared its head this year. Dortunind, several times against the Huns, and now today.

To not even leave our best penalty taker on the pitch past the 90th min was so presumptuous, when it was clear as day Aberdeen were aiming for a draw in regular time.

 

Hope someone comes in for him in the summer.

 

Just don't understand him and his decisions and tactics at times.

I don't understand how we can go from playing the free flowing football at the start of this season to the * we've seen Christmas onward.

Why bring Engels and Idah off so early? Our bench was already light with Hatate and Jota out.

Why didn't Forrest start instead of Kuhn? Forrest was easily our best player last game, Kuhn, yet again, done nothing.

The players themselves are a big issue as well, so many of these guys have clearly chucked it and have their mind elsewhere.

We can't rely on the huns dropping another 8 points to St Mirren next year, we need to wise up and fast.

 

Engels was our only player really creating anything. Ridiculous to take him off at 1-0 in a final

 

This is definitely all on Brendan Rodgers. The board have backed him to the hilt with quality players like Johnny Kenny, Yang, that guy we got from Dundee.

He should be winning the treble at a canter with this squad.

 

Needs to experiment a bit with how we play in pre-season. On top of new players, need to develop some new patterns of play when teams sit tight like that. Just moving the ball side to side hoping a gap will open up isn't enough.

 

Absolutely * it today. Someone needs to ask him what he sees in Scales and Trusty he doesn't see in Nawrocki the left foot is an absolute myth when he played Trusty and Scales with Nawrocki on the bench a couple of weeks ago. * knows how Forrest didn't start either.

His horseshoe slow lethargic turgid pish fitba has been sussed out and it's totally pointless when the other team would take penalties from kick off

 

* * man, get a plan B.

 

His hard on for Scales leaves me completely bewildered.

Couldn’t spot a centre half if they came up and smacked him on the nose.

 

£30m spent on Idah, Engels, Bernardo and Trusty yet we are wanting the board to trust this * with more money this summer

 

Don't trust him to sign the quality we need, don't trust him to change tac the way we need. Arrogant boring *.

 

I said i would give him two seasons and make up my mind. Thats season 2 over and done.

I want him to leave.

"The Rodgers slide" which began after Christmas has now culminated in a disgraceful cup final performance which smacked of arrogance, complacency and tactical naivety.

His signings, as I feared, have been questionable at best (cue the fantasy narrative theyre not his signings), his first 11 choices at times are * baffling, and his subs, like today, are too often look like the flip of a coin, with zero consideration.

The one pass mark he gets for me this season was progression in Europe; and * it, im going to say it, the new format had a BIG HAND in helping us out, as did a quite favourable draw.

Getting scalped by successive Sevco managers who are supposedly years behind his "elite manager status" and watching that disgrace of a final has made up my mind.

If Sevco get their hands on a manager who can get them beating the dosser sides in this league, we're in big * trouble.

Hes spunked MILLIONS on players who either look out if their depth or not settled. He persists with his favorites like Taylor and Scales, and refuses to address glaring issues that plague our midfield.
Giving him more millions in the summer would be a huge mistake. Not giving him more millions could be just as dangerous given the quality on display.

Thanks for the couple of titles Brendan. Now get your coat and let us do a proper rebuild.

 

Champions League will negate questions against him for a lot of people but it's been pretty poor overall, since Bayern. Domestic football really is a bit of a slog. In this period of time, his record in the big games is 3 losses and a draw (If we're being generous you could count the St Johnstone semi as a big game win). Since coming back he's really only had half a season + post split last year where you can say he's had the team playing excellently.

Some people won't like it and say people are entitled and we should think about the 90s etc, but the 90s were 25 years ago. In the current era of Celtic, you are kind of judged on trebles because we have such a huge advantage. 2 seasons now he's not been able to rise to those standards.

 

No plan B, which we know about. Shambles nothing short of it.

Terrible decisions today regarding line up, tactics and subs today.

Firmly Rodgers to blame for today! Simple as that. Clearly we are lacking quality all over the pitch and we have seen this for months.

Hopfully this will give the board something to think about, but let’s be honest all the old excuses will be rolled out due to no guarantee of champions league football.

Need to be careful this summer we could be playing into the zombie * hands.

 

And Bernardo was having (and would continue to have) a shocker.

 

Back to being on the fence after that today, with regard him staying on. That was an abysmal performance today. Too many favourites he can't see past and never seems to change formation. Been the same formation and tactics for 2 seasons and teams are wise to it and have been for a while.

 

Issue for me is we have a zero recruitment department and it's left completely to him.. massive holes in that squad, big money spent on players.. club so dependent on idah Engels and Bernardo to contribute, hasn't happened for any of them to any consistent level.
