    “Wouldn’t put him in against Lamine yamal”…..

    nae bother Brodge. There’s absolutely zero chance of any of our players playing him now so :56:

    Hope some * brings this up when asking him why Inamura is being loaned out now we won’t be facing the level of opposition he supposedly can’t handle.

    Absolutely baffling why this lad is going out on loan.

    Brendan has a huge ego problem with so called 'club signings' - Trusty, Lagerbielke, Nawrocki etc etc.

    His opinion on this lad is based on a perception he had of him prior to even clapping eyes on him.

    If anyone, not just Rodgers, can’t see huge potential in Inamura then they are clueless. He might be poor defensively, we’ve yet to see, but he has excellent use of the ball.

    I just feel for the sorry for the guy.

    Imagine getting your big move, hardly putting a foot wrong for your new club (even looking somewhat impressive at times) and the response from your new manager is to:

    • Downplay your performances in pre-season, including lies of omission or obfuscation about the standard of opposition you performed against.

    • Publicly imply that you’re not very good and aren’t ready to play against an unremarkable side from Kazakhstan (look how well that’s aged)- bonus points for the justification being a hypothetical where you couldn’t match up to one of the best players in the world and arguably football’s next superstar.

    • Backhanded compliments after your competitive debut that effectively boil down to him telling folks you’ll look good against diddy teams.


    Does anyone genuinely believe this is good man management; or a justifiable way to talk about a signing who’s yet to have a bad game? It’s like he’s desperate for him to have a * performance so he can do an “I told you so”.

    I don’t doubt that it’s mostly political nonsense born from his frustrations with the charlatans running our club, but it’s no less embarrassing (or any sort of justification) to see a manager taking it out on the player themself. People have joked about it, but if Rodgers had personally scouted/identified/signed a random player from England and they performed like Inamura, you can guarantee that he’d be singing his praises from the rooftops.

    rodgers would have you believe that there is some sort of higher level you have to reach before you can get a game ,all the while playing yang

    This will be good for him. Everyone needs to be kicked for a year and learn to toe punt the ball up the field.

    In all seriousness please send him to a team that tries to play football.
