Would be quite pleasant if Leicester won the league cup. The league is a step too far but Rodgers with a trophy in his first full season would be a good start to his career at Leicester.

If we had attempted to play in the same manner as we have other games i would have been delighted. We probably would have lost but at least we would have given it a go.

What we saw yesterday was a halfway house mess of a set up - as you say neither here nor there. A formation that nullifies our strengths but equally does nothing to address the danger areas. No pressing, no real intensity, no idea really.

The most worrying aspect is that Rodgers has appeared totally oblivious during both games

Rodgers did a good impression of Jose yesterday. Thought he was better than that.

Well, can’t disagree or argue with any of that.

Dunge and BS are both right - it was the mess of tactics that was most frustrating. Just watched the analysis of MOTD and the quote rightly highlighted how Maddison offered no cover for Chilwell. AGAIN. It’s not as if it wasn’t blatantly highlighted the week before.

I actually didn’t mind the formation, but once again the personnel was wrong. Look at how few chances came down our left where Pereira was offered support by Praet.

Look at how abysmally open we were on our left where Maddison made his usual impact in that role of zero creativity and zero defending.

Again, it was worth a try. But when it so blatantly wasn’t working it needed changing. And Rodgers didn’t change it. AGAIN.

One final point of note - I thought it was harsh on Chilwell against Man City. Nobody could have defended that, but watching him yesterday he was badly at fault for the first goal and constantly out of position or made bad decisions. He needs to remember he’s a defender and learn that art.

Going back to this time last Year we had a great win over Man City but were awful against any team lower than top 4.

We're in the Top 4 because Rodgers has turned that round, ok one struggle against Norwich but we've overcome nearly every other team we'd struggled against for the last few Seasons and there's far more of them than Pool or City who are a class above us and anyone else.

A Couple of really poor games in a congested period and we're almost in hysterics again, still ten points clear of 5th with a bit of realism about where we are.

Also a good reason now for Rodgers to ask for funds in the transfer period to strengthen the squad.

I don’t think Mersey is in hysterics at all

Dunge however........

Very disappointed with that

- not to see ratings from Dunge!


Come on - must do better!

There is a point of giving us your ratings Dunge. It makes interesting reading and debate.

Please post them.

It's defeats like this where everybody elses analysis gives us more insight to the players game and the managers tactics.

Please post your ratings for us all.

Very well then. I’ll revisit shortly.

Cheers. Appreciated.

Thanks Dunge.
Always look forward to reading your assessment & others on the ratings thread even though i may not post.

Seems about right Dunge..... Barnes can go out on loan for me as he has become useless and should of come off at half time!

Tilly seems to have lost interest in playing?
