A club in our position, in our league,will struggle to get a better manager than Brendan Rodgers. He makes mistakes but who doesn't? Zidane has just won two CLs in a row but is under pressure for poor results and picking certain players regardless. A couple of posters have recently referred to Rodgers as a "World class manager". He's far from that but he is trying to do something different here with mixed results at times but we should stick with him and hope he succeeds.
Other than a few hysterical posts, I haven’t seen anyone call for Rodgers to be replaced. I think the reaction to last night has generally been pretty measured. Hardly anyone is demanding a new manager, but folk are correctly starting to ask more pertinent questions about his tactics/signings/use of substitutes. Next season is huge for him in Europe.
I could have worded some of my post better. Instead of stick with him I should have said "support" him.

There are major challenges for Brendan Rodgers. He needs to inspire and motivate his players after last night's profound disappointment.

He needs to eliminate the complacent, lacklustre and sloppy domestic performances which have characterised this season; failing to win a third of our League matches is unacceptable.

He needs consistency of team selection, consistency of performance and consistency of winning results.

He needs Armstrong, Boyata, Compper, Griffiths and Roberts fit and available, especially game-changers like Armstrong, Griffiths and Roberts.

His objective - the Double Treble. :pray:

expectations have been set so so high form last season. however, if someone was to say before BR's arrival he'd deliver back to back trebles, get us back into CL groups 2 times in a row with the latter seeing us enter the EL afterwards - we'd jump all over it. Thats not even throwing in doing the first season unbeaten.

Nobody is beyond criticism, the best managers in the world make mistakes - and BR wont get it all right. He has and will make mistakes in future, but taking stock of whats been achieved and what stands to be achieved I'm still quite happy. Could it have been better? yeah, if BR never made a wrong call - of course. But in the 18 or so months here, he's got more right than wrong.

He hasn’t delivered back to back trebles.

at present, of course he is the best man for the job.

however, he does come with his faults. his recruitment hasn't been enough so far, nor have our european performances - particularly away from home we look totally devoid of all confidence, which is a massive concern in terms of progression at that level.

domestically this season - we've been far too sloppy & inconsistent. playing wise - we're far too slow, side to side passing along the middle to backline & repeat. he needs to up our game massively, starting on sunday, no excuses.

hopefully come summer he'll have delivered a double treble, but its clear to see this team/squad has (or is) came (coming) to the end of its cycle and needs to be replaced & rebuilt.

still one hell of a job on his hands.

The next two months are massive for him. He’s not had a good start to the year at all. The most worrying thing seems to be he’s not learning from mistakes.
The infuriating thing for me is our play in the defensive phase.

He'll talk about pressing and being proactive, but whenever we go out and play a better team we don't have any sort of team cohesion. Half the team want to press, then the other half want to retreat and concede space.

We can play the style of football he wants, and I want to see us play. There's hours of footage on us doing it. However, when the standard of player increases, we've got far too many players standing off in admiration.

I'd also say that the issue isn't just the defensive phase, but the attacking phase - we're so, so static when in possession in the final third.

I like it when we get to the final third and seemingly collectively forget how to pass a ball forward.

This is where we are missing LG.

Offers far more in the way of forward runs than Moussa.

Mancini had him on strings last night.

Nullified our width and had a man in front of Dembele to stop Ntcham/Rogic from playing balls into his feet. We were stumped and didn't know what to do with the ball after that, hence our best chances coming from long shots.
Yup.

Rodgers didn't have any answers, which in a lot of ways is what's concerning me most about last night....apart from the diabolical keeper we have currently.

The biggest disappointment for me, aside from the way we played, is BRs comments after the game that we lacked belief - even BEFORE they scored the first goal. If the manager is identifying that and we can all see this isnt the first time it has happened, what is he doing about it.

Does anyone think that MONs teams went out in away games from the start believing they couldnt win the game? Things happen during games that can change mindsets, but to suggest that our own players didnt think from the start of the game last night that they could win is an astounding admission.
