Bodgers Target

My view is that Rodgers has done a good job in his time at our club. Pushed us on after Puel was sending us stale and won us our first FA Cup ever which will always be one of the greatest moments of my Leicester supporting career.

But it’s clear now that we’ve been on the slide since before that cup win and we all blamed injuries and the lack of defence. But since our first choice defence has come back things have got a lot worse. We a more solid as a team but we look devoid of creativity. The most important part of football is scoring goals and I’ve no idea where the next is coming from.

Rodgers deserves the summer to “rebuild” as he calls it (which I don’t believe it needs - it needs tweaking).

My fear is we’re on the decline as we were under Puel. We look worryingly similar at the minute. Let’s hope we get the right player in this summer.

Whilst I’m at it. Right now we don’t look like we’re getting the best out of Tielemans, Vardy, Maddison or our fullbacks. They are all our best players. One I could accept but all of them points to the manager.

29 Points or so lost from winning positions, shows Rodgers up as a terrible tactician.

Players look almost unfit, I guess like Souza Years ago, they don't need to be fit to just pass the ball around keeping possession and starting attack after attack but not actually attacking!

I see there might be some exciting Football at King Power next Season.

Derby County might need to Ground share and it's apparently between us and Stoke.

Not sure 2 men and a dog count.

Over our dead bodies will we ground share.

Thanks all the shame.

When he was at us (Celtic) he started off by getting everyone to buy into what he wanted and we done an invincible treble. We were a joy to watch and he got us through the qualifiers and into the champions league twice.

The 2nd season things continued in much the same vein but he had Moussa Dembele up front and and at the time a prolific Leigh Griffiths.

By the third although we won every domestic trophy available for the third straight season things had changed. We were boring to watch. All about possession stopped attacking at pace despite having the best left back in the league by a distance in Kieran Tierney and Odsonne Edouard in attack with a very solid tan throughout.

He left before the end of the following season with us a few points in front of Rangers in Gerrards first season.

When it was mooted he was leaving there was a mixture of anger and nonplussed reactions as we had become so small stale and turgid to watch.

It would appear he works best in shirt cycles before his message starts to wain on players.

Yeah, hear what you are saying but, one slight snag..........8th doesn't get you Conference League footie next season. You are going to need 7th.

So that's currently 10 points away from where you are, together with a GD of 13 to make up on the team actually in 7th currently.

Perhaps you should accept his scrawny shin can't actually be saved ?

The Vardy problem. He cannot play as a striker up front on his own. It simply isn't his game, he isn't a Drogba type of player. He has to have a 10 right up alongside him. Solution, Maddison is a great 10, so stick him up there, not on the wing or back as an 8.

If you have 2 up front, you still need 3 in midfield in the modern game to avoid being overrun. Solution, you have to go 3 5 2. This puts our best players into there best positions. YT and KDH are natural 8s, then a holding mid between them of Ndidi or Mendy.

Our attacking fullbacks can operate well as wingbacks.

It seems obvious to me, but what do I know, I'm not on £10m a year to solve these problems!

Foxy Boy that’s my point. Rodgers is playing all of our best players out of position. That can’t be right can it?

Rodgers ball means square pegs in round holes to suit his style of play!

Typical Bodgers , not even played and he’s got us down in 14th.
