Two years ago, I thought he was very full of himself signing Balotelli (a bigger basket case then Sevco) thinking he could turn him around.

Having seem what he has done with Broonie, Forrest and to an extent Amstrong and Rogic, I think that failing now reflects badly on Balotelli rather than Brendan.
He was desperate not to sign Balotelli. Didn't want him near the club.

Even Rodgers hinted at that last week. He did so in ruminating on the development of his team from the side that could lose in Gibraltar to part-time team Lincoln Red Imps to one that, with the odd break, could have scored away victories in Champions League group stage matches against Borussia Monchengladbach five weeks ago and Manchester City five nights ago.

“I thought the midfield three were brilliant [at the Etihad]. They were up against three proper players,” he said. “I felt at the beginning of the campaign you had Scott Brown in midfield playing against two/three and now we have three players.

“How we play they all have to be connected, they have to be together, there won’t be any one of them better than all three but all three of them have to learn how to play together: how to be synchronised in terms of their movement, their spaces, their positioning both to press the ball and to attack it. The three midfield players were brilliant, in terms of their energy to press.

“You do well to see Man City play so many long-balls from their goalkeeper and back three. And that’s the tactical idea of the team and then their positioning when they had the ball, how they rolled out of pressure.

“Stu [Armstrong] is getting better all the time, in terms of understanding about consolidating the game in certain areas of the field, how you have to keep the ball at that level and keep it with a purpose. Not be frightened to make simple passes. But I’ve been proud of them all and now we must carry on and keep believing in what we’re doing and keep developing.”

Back 3 doesn't do it for me. We don't look anywhere near as creative as we normally do. I've wanted Griffiths and Dembele to start for a while but as part of a 4-2-3-1, the two times we've started both of them we've completely changed the formation and the team has looked disjointed overall.

Where do you accommodate both of them though if you don't play them both up top :ponder:

Griffiths out on the wing doesn't work mostly.

Jesus eff no. Forrest, Rogic and Sinclair should always start.

Exactly, there's no need to accomdate both of them. BR picks the one he thinks best able to do a job in any given match. The other guy has to suck it up.

Showed again tonight why he is reluctant to play Griff and Dembele. Completely changes the balance of the side. Both players don't lpok like they compliment each other either. Time to go back to Moussa ilup top alone and use Griff if we are chasing a goal.

Just out of curiousity what if he plays out his skin and bangs a couple of goals before Ibrox. Do you drop the form player to bring back the guys whose form has dipped?

Or we should play the striker who's in the best form, which at the moment is Griffiths.

Together up front or with Griffiths a wee bit deeper.

Play whoever is most likely to do a job on the day. That's all that matters.

Moussa clearly suits Rodgers system better. He might be on a poor run of form in terms of goals but he can still add something different to the team.

No harm giving Griff the next game but get Moussa back in the team and up to speed for the huns away.

Both Dembele and Griffiths are more than capable of playing up top for us. Griffiths had the jersey to begin with, got injured and Dembele stepped up. He was superb for us against the huns and Man City in particular and deserved to keep the jersey even when Griffiths was fit again. Dembele hit a bit of a slump (it happens) and Griffiths has hit form again and deserves to be first choice again, it's as simple as that.

I disagree. Moussa makes us a more effective side. Even when he is not scoring he tends to contribute something.

I like Griff, I just think Moussa is the better player and we will perform better with him in the side.

In any case, Rodgers will most likely select Moussa when it matters.

I think the idea that Dembele somehow "fits into the system" better than Griffiths is a myth. They are both equally as capable of playing upfront for us. The only time I wouldn't dispute Dembele being the absolute number 1 choice is away from home in Europe for his physicality alone, other than that it's fair game.

No, again I disagree & I think Rodgers does as well.

Either Forrest of Sinclair changes the whole dynamic. Tonight was simply mark Rogic and Roberts.

Also, horses for courses, if the huns stick to the 4-1-4-1 that beat the diet huns it will be perfect.
