Post Match Leicester 2 Brentford 2

BR says:

"Clearly disappointed not to win the game, having played well for 65 minutes. Everything had what we wanted but then we lost too many balls, gave the ball away too easy and then we got loose in our organisation."


"Danny Ward looked very assured. Defending set pieces, which was an issue, we looked strong. We scored from a set piece. We just have to learn from the two goals."


Rodgers on his substitution of KDH: "They changed their midfield so we wanted to push an actual striker further up the field because they went to a back three and had two deep-lying midfield players."


Rodgers on the lack of impetus in the final 25 minutes: "It's first game of the season and there was a bit of fatigue kicking in. I think what happens is when you tire a bit, you suffer technically. So we didn't keep the ball well enough and didn't secure it. And I forgot we were allowed to make substitutions"

After sharing an image demonstrating hope and fledgling support before the game I add;

Blitzed with a whirlwind of nappy change, bath, moisturise and bogey clean, the little fella looked shocked, saddened and let down. Much like me after that performance.




Picture the scene. A tranquil night, all getting some much needed sleep…. Then BANG! There’s shit everywhere, vomit on the floor, on me, on several sleepsuits, piss drips down the freshly laid and expensive wallpaper.

It’s all gone, quite literally to shit.

Been there my friend.
Sleep when they do. Best advice I can give.

Praet. Why in the name of all that is good and holy would you not bring Praet on?

I’ll forgive a lot and I’ve gone back and forth on Rodgers personally but I genuinely think he bombed the game on purpose viewing it as a win win. Three points or a point made. Unacceptable.

He didn’t bring Praet on because Rodgers has his set ideas and will never be willing to change them. For as long as Ndidi is a Leicester player, wherever he’s able to walk he’ll be in the team. Same goes for a number of other players. Form has **** all to do with anything.

Sure, Rodgers will talk about wanting competition for places, and he’ll spill out platitudes about players wanting to fight for their place. But in reality the likes of Praet and Soumare should kick up a fuss and try their hardest to force a permanent move before September. For as long as Rodgers is with us (and I hope it’s not long), he’ll pick the same boring negative lineups, with largely the same players, irrespective of form. Soyuncu falls into that category now. Despite anybody with one working eye, let alone two, seeing that Amartey is not good enough, Rodgers has decided he is a better option that Soyuncu and forever that will remain.

And I’m not saying that Praet, Soumare, or Cags are world class or any of that shit. Im just saying that we have a squad and we should use most of it. I’ll bet across all of the Premier League games this weekend, and most if not all of the EFL games for that matter, there won’t be many other teams who only used one sub. It’s the first day of the season. Nobody is as full match fitness. It’s hot. The opposition have multiple fresh players now on the pitch. Only using one sub is almost, not quite but almost, as unfathomable as the one substitution he actually did make.

looking at it objectively, I just don’t see how Rodgers is a positive influence on the team now. I’m not talking about previous seasons, I mean right now. For me he is hindering the team. Which I didn’t think is the point of a manger. And I do agree with others when they say that sacking him might suit all parties. Rodgers could move on and talk about the success he had at Leicester despite all the constraints imposed upon him. And we could move on with a new manager.

Been working through The Melchester Odyssey from episode 50 onwards during the night feeds. Noise cancelling headphones obviously.

"I think what happens is when you tire a bit, you suffer technically."

So to counter this I kept my 4 remaining subs on the bench because I am an arrogant prat which will more than likely cost me my job!

Idiot!

You made that last line up, right?

Had my grandson 2 months old (watching the game) he had that expression when BR made that substitution to. Good to see the little one keeping you busy, seriously you must be super proud buddy.

If I’m Top it’s pretty simple.

“do you still want to be here?”

Thanks mate, keeps things in perspective doesn’t it? Congrats on the grandson.

He’s just a ****, isn’t he

A hopeless, useless, arrogant ****witted ****

Notwithstanding the sheer ****ing ineptitude of Maddison in the second half, the whole ****ing shitfest was down to that hopeless useless **** of a Manager

They change their shape completely and deploy the (very) high press.
We stay exactly as we are and wonder why we can’t get out of our own half
Then we take off the one player who had actually stepped up and was closing them down, and bring on that hopeless useless ****wit upfront

And then, for the last twenty minutes of the first game of the season, when everyone is ****ing destroyed and running on empty, the ****ing wanker leaves them all out there to wilt in the sun and piss the points away

Hopeless, useless, arrogant ****witted ****

I can’t wait for ten games of total shit before see the back of him. Just **** him off now and put Filbert in charge. We genuinely couldn’t do any worse

I love the Melchester Odyssey.

I could spend the rest of my life on a desert island with the complete Melchester and some Reeves and Mortimer.

At least he didn't get his rebuild done. We'd be properly ****ed if he had.

Right, some considered thoughts on this afternoon.

Firstly, the queues before kick off were crazy. The club were fortunate that the weather was good and there weren't too many pissed up angry types around. A lot of people were were starting to grumble and then all of a sudden the queues went down very fast. It was almost as though you could get in by waving your Library card.

The team selection was ****ing idiotic and the formation was a joke. It made absolutely no sense. Unfortunately for BR, Brentford had come with a game plan of not leaving their own penalty area so even though we were not set up well at all, it didn't matter.

Tielemans ran the first half. We'll miss him for sure.

Cracking goal from Dewsbury-Hall. First bet of the season was a fiver on him to be anytime scorer at 9/1. BN knows.

Then we collapsed. The last five weeks were supposed to have been spent on gruelling double sessions in an attempt to get the players to a heightened state of fitness. On this evidence, that's total bullshit. The players were all blowing out of their arseholes after an hour.

Vardy was appalling. Legend or not, he has been garbage all preseason and was a total passenger today. Ward did nothing wrong. He was solid enough. Fofana and Amartey took it in turns to have bombscare moments. Both lost their men easily and both spent too much time wandering about out of position.

The long line of substitutes sat swigging water and topping up their tans whilst the starters ran through quicksand. It was unforgivable to surrender that match through pig headedness.

You can go tonight for me BR after that. You spoke about needing to back the club on Friday and then you play those games today? You're a wanker mate.

I Agree with a fair bit of the post but this section really grates.

We get the best training ground complex in Europe and since then, the team can’t perform for a full 90 minutes.

Vardy was appalling.

Thought Vardy had the assist for KDH goal?

Yes he did lay the ball off. He was still appalling.

Cuddle?

I wonder if they aren’t supporting him in the hope he ****s off.
