Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Thankfully, I can not even imagine just how dark dark * it must be to be a rangers/sevco fan in the 21st century .

This was 13 years ago, apart from pandcemic year . HAIL HAIL

 

Massive summer coming up for him and the club. It's getting a bit stale and needs a refresh in the squad.

Tierney coming in is a good start. But we need a lot more than that.

 

He knows who needs to go as well as we do.

 

Brendan Rodgers says worrying about Rangers improving next season isn't his problem.


It comes after his Celtic team drew 1-1 at Ibrox this afternoon.

Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring late in the first half before Adam Idah levelled things up not long before the hour mark.

Neither side could find a winner in the closing stages, and they both had to settle for a point.

Post-match, Rodgers was asked if he expects Rangers to be stronger next season, and whether it means his team have to improve for a potential title race: "It's not my problem to worry about Rangers being stronger," defiantly replied the Celtic manager [BBC].

"I think there's always a narrative around 'Will they [Rangers] be better next season?', which actually diminishes the standards or the narrative around what Celtic have achieved.

"I want to worry about Celtic - us getting better and us improving. They [Rangers] will want to be better, but my concern is Celtic. We leave here [Ibrox] today 17 points clear, [with a] massive goal difference, which shows you our game has been better in the two years I've been here and we will want to go again next season."

Celtic still have four games to go before they close out their campaign.

Next up is the visit of Hibernian to Glasgow's east end, although all eyes are seemingly fixed on the Scottish Cup final on May 25, when Rodgers' men could complete a sought-after domestic treble against Aberdeen

 

A Treble! as if its a given!

Lord watch over & love the fans of Celtic past, that unreal people of Glasgow who defied to give us Celtic FC.

CELTIC FC

 

For the third successive game I didn’t really see an improvement in our set up vs Rangers, nor did I see any one player play to the height of their ability.

Whilst some players have to take accountability for their performances, it’s on Rodger’s to get the players focused and set up right, despite our injuries.

Tactically, I can’t say that I feel like Rodger’s is managing these games well. I felt that in stages we looked passive and lacked intensity.
He needs to get more out the midfield and if he can’t, he needs to change it.

 

Whilst a few were poor today, I don’t quite agree that they were the root cause of the problem. You have been pretty selective with those you have chosen also as it could be argued there were others who played as bad.
All mentioned, maybe with the exception of Yang have had standout performances vs Rangers in the past. There is also no guarantee that throwing money at a problem will prove effective. We paid good money for Trusty who was to be an improvement on Scales and who has since performed poorly in a derby and since lost his place to scales.
We could also spend another £11m on a midfielder who might fail to impose himself on these types of games.

There has been a marked drop off in our performances in the derby games since our 3-0 win at the start of the season.

whilst we had out injury issues, we still had quality on our bench to bring on. I think more lies at the door of Rodger’s and his system he may like to admit.

 

TeesForTims on it already.
