    "we lack quality in the final third"

    Translated to it's not my fault and blaming lack of signings.

    You have a £5m winger sitting on the bench and you continue to play that * Yang.

    Iheanacho had 5 touches in the 1st half. To me that suggests the issue is with the supply into the front 3. The midfield 3 is the problem, that's on him

    Rodgers is as much in denial as the board are. They think the club is fine and their transfer methods are sound, Rodgers thinks his tactics, formation and player selection don't need to change. The team hasn't gone backwards it's fell off a cliff! The club needs an overhaul from top to bottom, on the field and off.

    We lacked quality everywhere tbh. Theres not a position on the pitch that looks to be up to scratch and functioning.

    We dont have the passers and movers for his style.

    The players fault today for no application fight passion skill. Brendans fault for tactics and the stupid subs and the pick of the team. Inamurra sarracchi yamada. Osmand. would have been better.than any of them today.on that pitch

    Need your head examined. How can you agree that we spent money in the summer and "backed Rodgers to the hilt?" We finished the window with Kenny and Shin as the only strikers on our books and had to rely on Rodgers to get Iheanacho in on a free. Boyd talks * nonsense. And Sutton was absolutely spot on, the bench today was abysmal there's * all on there to turn a game on its head. There's a glaring lack of quality all across the team.

    Let's be honest, we are in a bit of a mess from top to bottom, BR isnt to blame for that but at this moment in time he isn't looking much like a part of the solution either. The availability of big Ange who I personally regard as the best manager of my lifetime also makes the idea of a switch more appealing. I think anything is possible at the moment but one thing is for certain things need to change!

    It’s a squad and manager at the end of its cycle, exacerbated by our poor quality recruitment. Rodgers is still a good manager but I’m looking forward to a change next season.

    Remember how long it took the board to get rid of Lennon in the COVID season. They're worse now if you can believe it, so they won't have any plan at all, apart from Kennedy/Strachan.

    There should be riots until the board are out, but what are we going to replace them with? There needs to be a consortium of capable people ready to step in.

    Despite that, he should still beat Dundee and Kairat. He chooses to not play pace in Yamada and the other LB from Japan. He insists on playing a broken KT.

    If he doesn't have what he needs currently, why persist in a system and formation that requires it. All thats on him.

    Not the biggest problem today, but Schmeichel gives no confidence to the defence. He's rooted to the spot every time a ball comes near the area. Sinisallo must be really poor in training if the statue of a keeper gets picked ahead of him.

    Defended him but this is chronic.

    Want this guy gone now. I’d even take Ange as interim. Punt most of these clowns and get a decent manager to rebuild this side.

    I agree. What I was saying, but never put it over correctly was; he was a panic acquisition, definitely not someone we wanted when the window opened.

    Some players have "historically" been hot and cold , hatate.

    Others like KT, Cal, Ccv just dont suddenly become *.

    New players who showed excellent promise; ngyren, Engels dont just fall off so dramatically.

    The writing is on the wall. He's lost the players.

    They don't believe in what theyre being asked to do and are applying themselves half heartedly.

    Once a manager loses the dressing room its over.

    Hes done.

    Its indefensible.

    We started with a 10m midfielder and Dundees ex best player on the bench. Starts with Yang knowing he is an early sub waiting to happen. Brings on Kenny who rarely contributes anything when Shin cant get on the bench.

    We bemoan the state of the team but Shin alone cost more than the Dundee team.

    Rodgers clearly has one eye on leaving. Half the team wants to leave. The guys who do want to be there dont get a game. Its rotten.

    If Ange wants the job Id do the switch tomorrow. There is no value is giving Rodgers to the end of the season when we are playing like this.
