City v Man City

We will need a big rebuild in the summer, regardless of which division we are in. We'll be losing 7 or 8 players and will need to bring in about the same amount.

With this in mind, and given his appalling track record at every club he's ever been at (bar maybe Swansea), I can barely think of a worse person to oversee that overhaul than Brendan Rodgers. It'll make Peter Taylor's 2001 summer window seem successful. God I hope he's not still here by then.

Ricky Lambert, Joe Allen and Fabio Borini incoming!

I’m of the view that of Rodgers does that 99, we thank him and let him move onto “bigger things” and we rebuild under a new manager if (and a big if) we can get a manager who buys into the club, the way we operate and is right to take us forward.

That is NOT Steven Gerrard for example!

Is KDH injured btw - ie was that change enforced or tactical?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Rodgers he was giving the ball away too much?

Which he did. Mendy might actually fit well into this latest system as his ball retention is second to none. He beats the press well and recycles the ball. He just offers nothing after that which is why he needs ball players around him which Tielemans is becoming again.

KDH is so neat and tidy and a real disciplined player but he really struggles when he can’t pop off a simple pass. He needs to work on this a bit more for me and play with more drive and confidence in space.

How ironic the change led to their goal and defeat

It did TB, but it was Amartey’s fault rather than Mendy and after that I thought he was great.

😂😂😂😂

Do I detect a theme here though?
We do OK for a period.
Rodgers changes the team/tactics.
We lose.

Hows Ward doing now? Always felt there was a decent keeper in there, had some clean sheets recently 3 in a row? only conceded 1 vs city too. Saw him get some stick on here cause he was being compared to kasper i guess.

Yeah he’s improved a lot. I mean he started the season absolutely horrendously - I’m talking Karius levels of incompetence. I think to be honest it was a combination of a lack of confidence and a completely unsettled defence as well. He’s certainly looking better - I’m not convinced he’s a number 1 though and rumours are Leicester are in the hunt for a Kasper replacement

Fair enough, i think he has the tools but took him ages to get first team football though didnt play a lot, like martinez of villa in a way. At 29 only played 117 games so not a lot of exp for a keeper at that age almost half of them coming in the championship on load one year.

I think he was unlucky with us tbh, id have been playing him over Mignolet and Karius without a doubt. Definitely deserved more of a chance than he got. Now he has one with Leicester so im happy for him, down to him now to make the best of it.
