    It wasn't a red card, and this type of myopic reactionary post is fairly embarrassing.

    ****ing ridiculous, of course it was a ****ing red. What do you expect at CL level?

    What have been the good points so far this season?

    Sack the manager who brought us to within a WHISKER of winning the league last year.

    Turns out he was a passenger last season.

    Rodgers lost that match.
    Pathetic team selection.
    Leaving Coutinho / Lallana on the bench was a huge mistake, dreadful decision and i knew our fate once i seen the selection.
    Where are the goals going to come from with Lucas, Allen and Henderson. Disgraceful management.

    I wouldnt trust him in a sweet shop with my money, so talk of strengthening in January with his track record is ridiculous and hardly worth thinking about.

    Rodgers has to go imho, he hasnt a clue.

    Have a feeling that's strike 1 for Rodgers. Strikes 2 and 3 will probably come against Utd and Arsenal and that will be that. He has nobody to blame but himself.

    Allen, Lucas, Enrique and Johnson in a must-win game. £100+ million spent in the summer. It's like a bad joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,365 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    That was every bit as bad as the depths of the Hodgson era and the biggest problem is, I don't see how it changes. United are up next, then Arsenal.

    League cup sandwiched in between them I think?

    If we gain silverware I'll actually be quite content this season

    Of course be said it.

    I'd say there's plenty of red tape.

    He basically admitted as much re Ballotelli recently

    So when things were going good, he was adamant that he made the decisions.

    When things were going bad he's making excuses.

    Not an admirable quality.

    While Rodgers hasn't been doing well this season, it's as if he's just this months scapegoat. His team selection was poor and it wasn't a good first half but he saw this, acknowledged his mistake and made changes at halftime. We played well in the second half up until the red card, Markovic wad running at players. Those saying the red card changed nothing are just being a bit stupid.

    Well thats his own fault for starting with two painfully average full backs, an immobile striker whos played alot lately, a midfielder on the rw and a slow midfield devoid of creativity. I winced when i saw the team sheet released, hardly surprising we've reverted to or form of yesteryear, he's playing the same bloody players from then now! The difference when moreno and markovic came on was immediate, a pacy winger and a pacy full back who could provide width.

    Europe League. Great excuse to break out the aul atlas.

    F**ck sake.

    That group was as close to a gimme as you can get.

    Everyone should be beyond angry with how it turned out.

    What do you expect when we are left with Martin Skrtl up front for the last few minutes? As far as we all know, Borini is not injured or otherwise ineligible so of course Rodgers has to face reactionary criticism (I'm not sure what other type of criticism there is btw, we can only go on what we see).

    It'll be even worse if Bournemouth are strike 3 :(

    Sure none of us actually know the ins and outs of the committee. The only thing I know is that it isn't working

    As long as it comes with 4th place. I'd be upset if we get one without the other. I'd like the Europa League and the FA Cup.
    Actually fup, a cup treble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,305 ✭✭✭slingerz


    I'm now firmly in the Rodgers out camp

    And I'm not easily swayed in that regards

    Even more annoying that Markovic was looking decent before the sending off.

    Probably his best 15 minutes at the club was before the red. Was getting on the ball and running at defenders.

    Rodgers got it very wrong tonight. He's under enormous pressure

    He's got it wrong all season and shows no signs of getting it right.

    I wonder which member of the committe is leaking to the press that this player and that player isn't the player Rodgers wanted.

    What's even more worrying is even when he stumbles upon something that works, he decides to change things up again for the next game.

    Never agreed with the CL 3rd place finishers going into the EL, but here we are now. How will BR treat it I wonder?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭mikeym


    If we get thrashed this Sunday Im in the Rodgers out camp.

    We always play well against Utd no matter how bad our form was in the past but im dreading this Sunday.

    Realistically it's looking like the best chance of making the Champions League next season.

    Playing with no recognised striker for 45 mins when needing a goal in the Champions League.

    Does anything more need to be said?

    The thing is we looked better without a recognised striker. Shocking that Rodgers has got himself into that situation. However I reckon he is best starting without one against Utd at the weekend and get players with pace and technique into the team.
