Ok. That’s a disgraceful bit of management.
Rodgers had a few key decisions to make before and during the match. He disappeared up his own arse on almost all of them.
1. Iversen or Ward. Ward was fine.
2. The replacement for Barnes - instead of a like for like (Perez, Praet, Albrighton) he changes the entire shape and shoehorns Amartey into the left of a back three. Amartey heavily at fault for both goals, with some awful defending
3. Push on or contain at 2-0 - team immediately sat back and allowed one of the worst sides I’ve seen score a cheap goal
4. In game decisions. KDH our standout midfielder, natural leader and incredibly busy. Replaces him with a striker which immediately killed our control in midfield. He didn’t even pick the right striker!
5. 1 substitution while Brentford rotated 5. This felt like a petulant tantrum more than anything else.
He absolutely ****ed it and deserves pelters. Won’t last long if he’s already on his worst behavior - too clever by half and playing politics.
**** off.
