Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

You only need to look at the first 6 months of last season to know Rodgers can have us playing good football. Arguably the best we’ve seen a very very long time. After Bayern there was a drop off, absolutely no doubt about that. With the league being basically wrapped up is that understandable, a wee bit. To not beat Aberdeen was * rank rotten. Is there mitigating circumstances why the football at the start of this season has been fairly drab though? You’d have to living on the moon not to think there was in my opinion.

 

Exactly mate.

They have been failing the club for years.

See when the supporters of the board are reduced to saying ‘at least we haven’t went bankrupt’ that’s pretty tellling imo.

Patheticness.

 

Other than that period at the start of last season (August to November, not quite 6 months) the football has been mostly functional under Rodgers. Ultimately winning games is what counts, I just don't think there's enough mitigating circumstances that constitute an excuse for what we've seen in particular the last 3 games (excluding Livi). Fairly drab is putting it lightly btw.

 

The amount of goals we scored last season doesn’t point to 6 months of poor football mate. I think it’s been exaggerated to be honest, but I would say there was a drop off after Bayern.

 

It's the so called bigger games in the last 6 months were Rodgers is failing on. We haven't beaten them - cup final & champions league qualifier. To me I fully put the blame on the manager. Doesn't seem to be able to get a tune out of the players - currently our 2 full backs are causing us issues as Tierney & Ralston cannot get forward. Manager needs to adapt to this

 

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

Doesn’t this quote, highlight the issue we’re having setting up and playing ‘that lot’ at the moment?

 

The football was definitely poor in comparison after the CL exit, with some notable exceptions like against Aberdeen, to what we showed we are capable of before.

If we'd been majorly rotating in others in the squad, or even better blooding and developing development players, and trying out different shapes and tactics I'd say it would be fine, even commendable.

But we weren't doing any of those things and it contributed majorly to us losing the Cup Final.

Rodgers does have responsibility for that. It's the definition of his job to manage how we play surely and to get the most out of the players right to the end of the season. Khun being a wee * was obviously a factor and he has my sympathies on that.

 

Aye I’d say Rodgers is responsible for the football we seen after Bayern, definitely. The only thing you could maybe say is that the league was wrapped up very early in the season so the edge would have been taken away slightly, which is natural.

 

Yeh, that's fair.

 

He’s every bit an * as the board leaving Yamada out every possibilty we could be no recognised striker come the Europa game in jan if injuries and Afcon arise

He didn’t do enough for me. Should have been shaming these * long before the window ended

 

Well he reckons they bleed for the club and all on the same page behind the scenes, nothing to worry about.

 

They promised him all sorts between season 1-2 they were in amongst it refurbishment at lennoxtown / barrowfield

And rise in player expenditure 3rd season comes
Barrowfield not signed off for whatever reason players sold underneath him

Almost like board are like thank * last season Brendan your too much high maintenance / ambitious for us
