For everyone who says “I don’t get why people don’t like Rodgers”… this. This is why.

Just saw the video of the Leicester fan attacking the forest players.
This is what alcohol does, makes a jobless fatarse think he can beat a bunch of highly trained athletes in a melee singlehandedly.
Fucking moron

I think this is quite a positive for us.
I doubt you’ll be getting much of a reaction from that.

Exactly. This smacks of everything he did with us when it started to go downhill. He’s obviously trying to get a reaction, but the problem with that kind of aggressiveness is that it has to be 100% spot on in order to reach the players. Otherwise, all he’ll achieve is to entrench a part of the players against him, and from that moment, it’s only a question of time before he gets the sack imo. Obviously, taking a part of the blame would have been an intelligent thing to do, but that’s not Rodgers and has never been. For some weird reason, he thinks that he must stay beyond any reproach at all times.
I don’t think we are there with him yet though (the sack), he has a lot of stock left with the owners I suppose, after winning the FA cup last season. But he doesn’t help himself with this kind of reactions.

It’s even worse than what I posted above. You can read the entirety of his philosophical musings in the first post of this thread:
‘’ They do not have the consistency in their desire to keep winning that is needed to be a world class star, he believes.
“We’ve had a really good two-and-a-half-year spell,” Rodgers said after the defeat to Forest.
“But that’s why a lot of these players are not top players. Because they can’t sustain it.‘’
‘’ I always judge it on the physicality of the team, the pressing, the aggression. When you stop getting it, you can’t quite get there, your time could be up"
The arrogance of the man is insane.

Maybe he still thinks he has a chance of the job at Old Toilet…
Replace that thought of him referring to his own players at Leicester, but more the Mancs…
That rallying cry he spouted could be directed to the owners of The Scum…
Same pattern as with us, gets the players really doing well and putting their all in. After a while though. the magic fades and ultimately ends in Stoke.
United will love him. For about 18 months.
If he said they have to prove they are top players then he may have had a positive reaction. To me this suggests someone who is chucking them in the bin.

must be talking about himself surely?

Perhaps pushing for more cash/influence for summer’s transfers?
His assistant manager must be shitting himself.

Even if it is, he is 4 months from the nearest transfer window and will need these players to turn up for him for the rest of the season.

Not sure how he figures a massive rebuild is needed. He’s got a quality upper mid table squad. That there is some spine lacking says more about him and his attitude rather than about the players.
There was no reason he couldn’t start with hamza choudhary etc

That’s the thing. When he came in he was being praised left, right and center for ‘his’ signings and how he develops players, all of which he was happy to take the credit for. Now its ‘we need a rebuild’. Wtf.
He laying the path for the critique that is to come when they don’t finish in the top ten
From their forum:
Call them out, if they are not doing their job, drop them, no room for sentiment.
Some big brave rebuild required this Summer*
- may include Northern Ireland Napoleon
I totally get calling them out and saying they need to prove they are good enough but it doesn’t read like that to me.

There’s a huge difference between calling out players for a poor performance, which is a tool that can be needed but needs to be used carefully. Here though he is saying that he goes to work and watches players who cannot be bothered. Even here this is something that can be used as a tool if presented as a challenge to the players. Instead he’s just holding his hands up and telling people he’s handcuffed by players who aren’t up to the standard he needs.
the problem is that posing this as a challenge to the players involves him in the responsibility to fix it. he wants no part of that because there potential downside, so he moves to distance himself from their failings. In turn though that just disempowers himself, and makes him look feckless. A manager who can only get results when the players are independently doing all the right things is someone who has no role and no value.

He shouldn’t have thrown his players under the bus like that…
He is going to need that bus for parking in his penalty area on Thursday… :0)
