Piper having a bit of a pop

“
Bring the energy, the expertise & the fight!
There's no doubt we could do with new
blood but if it ain't coming, inspire the guys you got”

A bit like asking McDonalds to serve up a healthy, nutritious meal.
 
On Saturday someone contacted the RL pair during the match (presumably from the terraces) and said where was the fight?
I expected MP to be upset but he agreed with the fan.
Later he said 'where are the things we associate with a LC side? No fight, no workrate, no spirit. The fact is they are
allowing Arsenal to bully them.'
So when fellow pros can see it .....
 
Piper was correct. We've had slumps before under Rodgers and come back stronger. But (and I'm speaking as somebody who has been pro-Rodgers until now), there's a deeply worrying lack of character about this team. Whenever things get tough (Brentford bringing on subs and going for it, Arsenal putting on a show for their fans), we just seem to roll over and accept the inevitable. There's so little fight. In truth, the warning signs were there last year but our injury problems gave Rodgers a plausible excuse.

He can moan all he wants about the lack of transfer activity, but if he's been told we can't buy until we sell, then surely he has to make the best of what he's got? Because if his resigned demeanor in press conferences is a reflection of how he is with the players in training, then where is the spark going to come from?

Trouble is the media and pundits think Rogers’ farts smell like roses. He can do no wrong and his sulks attract sympathy.

And THAT..,, is one of the most infuriating things about the whole situation.

Chris Sutton after the Rodgers post-match interview complaining of no signings…..

“I have a feeling Brendan Rodgers won’t be around at Leicester for too much longer….”

(Ah, I thought, you’re a twat and even you can see it), but then followed up with..

“I don’t think he’ll put up with that”
😡🤬🤬

He’s a master at manipulation. It’s done a number on the press and many fans and neutrals.
Drag expectations to the lowest possible level.
Subtly blame everyone else bar himself when things are going wrong.
Pass off any mild success as a Herculean triumph against all odds.
Saint Brendan. We are not worthy.
 
He's not Svengali ffs.
It boils down to who is responsible for the imbalance which seems to have occurred in the club's financial area.
BR was obviously wrongfooted when he spoke of a freshen up approach. Unless he was told that any incoming should be paid for by those outgoing. But he is not running the club. He is simply a key element in the management but others have the say over buy/spend. I think the club has got itself into a mess with a Euro sized squad and no Euro football.
BR 's hands are tied and so calls for his dismissal are fatuous.
The current displays are the result of lack of focus due to the resulting uncertainty and the lack of new arrivals.
 
Managers ultimately come out with the statement that 'managers are judged on their results'.
How many games has BR been at Leicester also including EL etc how many wins and draws?
Surely he has to be above 1.5 pts average per game, doesn't he?

Exactly this Shane. He's a fraud. a liar, a gas-lighter and a cheat. If you sent him to the shop to get milk and he came back with bread he'd blame the shopkeeper, or you for your high lactose-fuelled expectations.
 
It was worryingly devoid of character on Saturday but I suppose the financial situation and clubs circling around our best players must be unsettling for everyone. My main criticism otherwise would be that we set up too cautiously and never looked comfortable in a 3-5-2, we should have gone 4 at the back much earlier.

Correct Clapham. A great Manager will always get the very best out of what he has. I don't want to hear what a wonderful club so and so are, I don't give a fuck, I want him to set the team up to win, and for the players picked to be frightened of the consequences it they are not following instructions!

You’ve just about hit the nail on the head Shane, KP need to read this as he just can’t see it.

Don't forget his hilarious 'not much time to coach' last season...he's a Walter mitty

Wasn’t he correct?
Two games a week and days off plus another injury doesn’t leave a lot of time to organise another first eleven.
I’m losing confidence (think Clapham summed it up perfectly) but he’s had a tough time with that number of injuries and no new players this season.
Still hoping we can turn it round but it’s not looking good.
 
& as you know Hackney, Rodgers said that to use as the reason for our pathetic defending of set pieces & just all round crap displays.
So after having a fully fit squad all summer to get his “ new ideas” across on the training pitch & what has changed in these first couple of games?
Struggle against a middle of the road team at home & play like a league 1 side with a huge inferior complex against one of the media 6. Sounds like Groundhog Day to me.
