Have to agree with TB here. Rodgers seriously culpable taking off Dewsbury-Hall in the first place and second not replacing him with Praet. Maddison not at his sharpest could also have seen him replaced by Praet. But to not freshen up using some of your 5 subs when clearly the energy levels had dropped after 60 minutes is criminal. He always makes substitutions on 60 minutes. But not today. Not when it’s hot. Not when we’re getting overrun in midfield. He needs a slap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s more than that, they were awful, we should have killed the game off so much earlier, got at em but no we have to watch Rodgers Ball.
It’s disgraceful
Drawing that was on Rodgers today, the team was fatigued according to Rodgers but he only makes one ridiculous sub. Really?

Rodgers was likely making a point about the lack of transfers, just as his mentor Mourinho used to when he thought his club hadn't spent enough millions in the transfer market.
The difference is, Mourinho had the pedigree to pull it off and get away with it but that's just put more pressure on Rodgers, especially with the talent he had on the bench and chose to ignore.
The lack of subs was baffling today. To come out and say the team were tiring then makes it criminal. M
What?!!!
Just another Pathetic excuse that is already coming back to bite him.
Fatigued? - They do fack all to get fatigued with the Rodgers ball we play, it was boring and carp, the quality of the players saves his skin in all that dross play.
The Tea person could do a better job with the quality of our squad.
TB. This one was down to Rodgers.
We played really well for an hour and dominated the game. Brentford were well drilled with eleven behind the ball for most of the time and we played some really neat incisive quick passing that opened them up several times. 2-0 up and twice hit the woodwork and it was looking like a perfect first game stroll.
Then inexplicably we took off a midfielder and put on a forward and switched to 4-4-2. No-one seemed to know what they were supposed to do in this formation, and we effectively gifted the midfield to Brentford who went on to control the rest of the game.
The second goal was clearly down to no-one closing their player down as he waltzed through the space previously occupied by KDH. Yes, Amartey should have done better, but is was so unnecessary.
I will stick up for Rodgers in the face of what I think is sometimes unfair criticism, but yesterday was down to him and his weird substitution.
LOL, the first 60 minutes were slow , ponderous and boring, we only controlled anything because they were one of the worst teams to ever visit Leicester in the Premier League.
Gonna be some big thrashings coming our way if that's us playing really well.

I don't know what game you were watching or if you were even there, but your view of the first hour so is completely at odds with those at the game, and everyone I have spoken to since, and indeed the entire media.
But don't let your prejudices get in the way of the facts.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Utter Bull Crap
It was so bad even the singing section kept getting bored 😂
You weren't there, were you?
The Guardian : "Leicester, seemingly cruising to victory with goals from Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall just reward for their excellent first hour"
Football 365 : "Leicester had been more than good value for their 2-0 lead after goals in each half from Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall before Ivan Toney pulled one back in the 62nd minute.
The Foxes bossed the first 45 minutes to such an extent that their 1-0 interval lead was scant reward"
The Independent : "Maddison was the provider when the Foxes took a deserved lead in the 27th minute as Castagne rose highest to powerfully head home his corner. Maddison and Dewsbury-Hall were at the heart of all Leicester’s best work as Brentford sat deep and were surprisingly passive, with the former’s volley gathered comfortably by Raya"
Why don’t you stick a quote in from Bendan as well 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m in the middle here. I think we did enough for an hour against a team that didn’t look capable of laying a glove on us. We weren’t brilliant, we were good enough.
For the last 30 minutes when Brentford changed things, we weren’t good enough. Neither was Rodgers.
It’s going to be an up and down season. I really hope we don’t go on a slide. I can’t shake that concern currently.
TB - I'm tired of hearing your constant one-man tirade against the manager. Your complete refusal to accept that we ever play well under him is tiresome in the extreme and suggests you are either a Prize WUM (in which case I applaud your efforts as I have well and truly bitten) or you know SFA about football.
I suspect the latter, but all the same I am tired of your posts so have decided to relieve myself of the misery of reading them, and have filtered you. Congratulations on being the only person I have ever filtered on this site, and hopefully the last.

This is the problem isn't it Mersey - most of us are kind of in the middle with Rodgers.
Getting us into Europe and winning the FA Cup (the holy grail of most City fans) has earned him a huge amount of credit but it is slowly draining away.
He seems to have gone stale and he seems like he's had enough of managing us. I think he really thought he had a shot at the Utd job and as teams like Spurs, Utd and Arsenal just pass him by, he seems more and more disinterested in LCFC.
Despite what some fans say, his overall record has been very good with us and we've played some really good football under him, but it's all starting to feel like it's coming to the end of the relationship and we're at that 'sitting on the sofa, watching TV and not talking to eachother' stage, the one before someone packs their bags and just buggers off.
the first decent managers job comes up he will be off.
I can also see two sides here, Rodgers has got a lot of brownie points in the bank for his tenure, he was in charge when we won the FA Cup for the first time and we've done well in the League too.
However, last year some of the football was absolute dross and there was more of the same on show for a lot of that match, can he not see that passing the ball aimlessly across the back four does little except get the possession stats up and allow opposition players the chance to get back into position and form a solid defensive line?
The substitution was perplexing to say the least, bringing on a forward to replace a midfielder when we were still winning the match? The fact that Dasilva waltzed through a Dewsbury-Hall shaped hole to score doesn't help his case at all. Also he admitted after the game that the players were getting fatigued - so wtf Brendan, you've got 4 more subs you can make to address that situation!
I sometimes wonder what the result of a match would be if the managers were swapped round, I suspect that we would have won easily if Frank had been calling the shots for us, he made some excellent adjustments which changed the course of the game.
I hope Brendan's not disgruntled at not being at a 'big' club that can afford to splash the cash, nor even have any of them interested in him apparently, but it looks suspiciously like this may be the situation, in which case his time at Leicester may indeed be drawing towards a close.

STS and Nuneaton. Both really good posts which I pretty much fully agree with.
I feel that Rodgers is starting to make the wrong noises to the media and this will be rubbing off on the players. Well, it is, you can see it. Too much “having to make do” chat undermines the club and the players playing for him.
If he looks at our squad and genuinely can’t set them up to win games he probably needs to look at himself before he points the finger anywhere else.
It’s strange because he deserves so much respect for what he’s achieved at our club. But I find myself quickly losing it.
Well that's Great News, apparently Rodgers has admitted the Club Aren't supporting him in his 'refresh '
"I felt this was the time to improve but it's not the case and I respect the Club's position' "
If I didn't think he was bloody awful anyway I'd almost suspect the to$$pot threw the Game deliberately.

Totally agree. What a breath of fresh air to see a goalkeeper look like he commands his six yard box. I know Kasper was brilliant in other respects but crosses and corners were his Achilles heel.
Just want to see us leave 3 on the half way line at opposition corners now.
