He didn't put a foot wrong today. He was absolutely fine. Of all the shit that happened in that game, picking out Ward for criticism is probably the most unfathomable.Ward couldn't have done anything about that second goal to be fair. Because he's shit.

I think downed tools is a bit harsh.Dominated the game - 2 goals - 2 strikes against the post - and then we downed tools with an hour to go
You have to be taking the piss?!??Ward couldn't have done anything about that second goal to be fair. Because he's shit.
If only there was something the manager could do about it.As Jitz says, half of their outfield team that finished played less than 30 mins but 90% of ours had played the full game and it definitely shown.
We need Newcastle to go on a nosedive.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.
He was using the lack of changes as a way to send a message. Just wait for his interview…almost definitely will say “didn’t feel we had better options on the bench to change the game” or some shit.The sub made sense however it should have been Maddison i.e. like for like, which means we maintain our midfield dominance. BR will not allow Maddison or Tielemens to be subbed as for Amartey words defy me, all he can do is put his hands behind his back and back off. The guy is championship standard!
At no stage did he try to win that game with subs it clearly says he has no faith in his bench, is the reason we have not bought anyone down to the fact that the board have no faith in him from last season?
Immensely frustrating as we hit the post 3 times and we were by far the better team, yet we drew the game BR is just too negative as a manager.
Agreed it is good to see a keeper dominate his box and catch rather punching the ball, he played really well today and if he is 90% as good as Kasper we will have done well.Ward made a couple of good saves - came and collected some crosses, and had decent distribution.
I thought he did okay . Would have looked good - if Amarty had defended better than he did.
I can't wait to see him stand there in the wrong position like a ****wit as goals from outside the box go sailing past him all seasonHe didn't put a foot wrong today. He was absolutely fine.

Weird wish for a Leicester fan.I can't wait to see him stand there in the wrong position like a ****wit as goals from outside the box go sailing past him all season
I think you are right in which case his arrogance is blinding as the bench was good enough to take the game away from Brentford. if BR carries on we will sack him, we did it to Ranieri and we will do it to him, fair play to Brentford they cut off the ball to Castagne and targeted Amartey we were too stupid to see it I guess.He was using the lack of changes as a way to send a message.

Also, I agree on the Maddison bit, but Nacho or Perez should have come on.
Mate, you're having a nightmare. He was absolutely fine all game. If you think Kasper or any other keeper is saving that then you're dreaming.I can't wait to see him stand there in the wrong position like a ****wit as goals from outside the box go sailing past him all season
He’s burned through all of his goodwill. And he’s still playing politics. A more cynical person would suggest he’d be happy with the sack. It’s the only discernable reason for some of his decisions today.I think you are right in which case his arrogance is blinding as the bench was good enough to take the game away from Brentford. if BR carries on we will sack him, we did it to Ranieri and we will do it to him, fair play to Brentford they cut off the ball to Castagne and targeted Amartey we were too stupid to see it I guess.
