Spurs v Leicester

[shorehamview]

....the best defensive record with a back 4 before 4 injuries....

That’s being rather selective though, considering that five clubs have let in less goals. It’s like saying you’ve had the best looking wife in the world before the incident with the fire and the cricket bat.

What your defence was like back in time is not really relevant. What it’s like all season is what matters, and yours hasn’t been the best. Just the sixth best, so far.

 

[BettingBlade]

Vardy is up there every season, and we're always solid at the back.

No, Rodgers doesnt get credit.
Like I say, hopefully the rumors going round are true.
Our owners are not fools.

This will be the first time you’ve qualified for a European competition since you won the league.

But yeah Rogers is shite.

Of course it matters.

Losing 4 of a back 5 is a huge difference.
Crazy to suggest otherwise.


You're actually just adding to my point of how inept it makes Rodgers look though.

No, I’m hinting that although your defence was doing well, it’s how it defends all season that matters, not just part of it.
It’s certainly a huge difference, and things like that often cost places in a division, but you seem to think that because they were doing well you should still have a rightful place in the top four, and that smacks of a feeling of entitlement.

You’re constantly contradicting yourself. You say having injuries makes a huge difference, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for Rogers?

So injuries are only relevant depending on whether or not it supports your agenda against your manager.

No, my point is consistent.

Losing 4 of a back 5 obviously makes a big difference, and clearly makes any side worse defensively.

So what has to happen then, is that you have to adapt.
Losing all the mobility from your defence, and still playing with the same high line, is tactical ineptitude.

Rodgers is still playing as though he's got Pereira/Soyuncu/Chilwell/Fuchs in there.....He hasnt.

Let’s take a look at some stats shall we

Leicester City goals conceded:
18/19 - 48
17/18 - 60
16/17 - 63

Oh look, it would appear Brendan Rogers has improved your defensive record.

But you’re still on course for your best finish in 4 seasons....

In other unrelated news, anyone ever ask for a BMX for Christmas and then moan like fuck because it wasn’t a limited edition Kuwahara with E.T. in a basket on the front?

Just wondered......

Yeah, but he’s a useless twatbag apparently.

 

[BettingBlade]

Yeah, but he’s a useless twatbag apparently.

He didn’t mean to do it. Pure luck. They’ve current only conceded 3 more goals than they did the year they won the league.

Ranieri must have been shit too.

No, the players have.
Hence when the players, like Ricardo/Soyuncu/Chilwell are not there, we concede 4 at bournemouth and 3 today.

Getting rid of Maguire for Soyuncu is what was the main improvement to our defence......Not a Rodgers decision.

Hahahaha you’re actually deluded. You claimed you’re always pretty solid at the back so Rogers deserves no credit.

I’ve literally just proved how many goals you’ve conceded over the last three seasons and yet you’re still trying to claim it’s not his work. You’ve been caught out chatting absolute bullshit and not for the first time on here either.

 

[8lade]

3-0 to Spurs? You couldn't make this shit up.

Defence does good = players are good. Manager has fuck all to do with it.
Defence does bad = manager is fucking useless. Nothing to do with the players whatsoever.

 

[bromtom]

Leicester were dogshit today.

Cheers Leicester you twats.

 

[CentralQuay]

Defence does good = players are good. Manager has fuck all to do with it.

So why has the defence gone from being the 2nd best in the league behind Liverpool, to the 6th best, directly as a result of losing Pereira/Soyuncu/Chilwell/Fuchs?
If losing players has nothing to do with it?

You think if Liverpool lost Trent/Robertson/Van Dijk they would have the best defensive record in the league? Of course not.


The difference is that Klopp would adapt and play differently.
Rodgers is playing like he has the 2nd best defence in the league still.....He hasn't, he's got 2 kids and 2 backup players.

 

[shorehamview]

.....he's got 2 kids and 2 backup players.

And yet you still expect to be in the top four. If that’s not a sense of entitlement then I’m a Dutchman, and I’m not.

its been like that for 2 weeks, not 2 months.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Leicester looked as lackluster today as they looked like it was life or death the other night
Suppose our poor performance played a bigger part than we thought

 

[Silent Blade]

George Hirst. Remember him.

 

[skyjam]

you do remember who you are talking about ,right? gerra a grip man FFS
