Brendan Rodgers. No excuses this time?

Well. When you go 3-0 &2-0 down in two cup finals. I find it hard to give the manager any credit for the way the players got themselves back into those games.
 I don't remember the manager turning the game round with his decisions.
Hamann was forced on Rafa in Istanbul. He changed the game . But it was not a calculated decision .

Then what exactly happened in those finals?

Did we lose them?

What a lucky manager whose 'players' turned up after going behind.

 

i thought Hamann was a calculated decision as our midfield was getting wrecked and we needed a third body in there?

Its a well known FACT Hamman was a tactical decision, but also that rafa was gonna play 12 at some point. lmao

Hamman came on because he bullied Rafa into it. Everybody knows that.

Everybody knows that, do they. Well it's news to me, I doubt Rafa could be 'bullied' into a decision by anyone!

Brenda was recruited as a scapegoat. And sadly, for some, that Fenway tactic is working.

Even Rafa, under Fenway's sell off antics would struggle at Anfield.

Brenda was recruited as a yes man. Yes he is average compared to Rafa. But you simply cannot expect much at all, with the money obsessed investment avoiding antics of the Yanksters.

We've THREE Brenda threads. In reality it should be 3 threads on the Yanksters instead.

I'm sorry but not only is that rubbish but it's contradictory rubbish

He's the manager, he decided to bring on Didi as a tactical decision as he wanted an extra body in the middle of the park to stop Kaka having a free role and to move Steven higher up the pitch.
The thought that Didi had Rafa up against the wall to make him bring him on is nonsense

Of course it was a calculated decision, the calculated decision that Kaka had too much freedom and he wanted to deny that freedom

However the fact that the game swung on that 6 minute period right at the beginning of the first half is more force of nature than any great tactical change in the game.. The fact Milan thought they had it won and we just battered everything at them for 5 minutes where everything aligned for us to turn it round

Rafa may admit now that he could have started Didi but I'm affraid that no one will know how the game would have gone in that circumstance makes it a void argument.
Had it only been 1-0 or 2-0 and and Milan hadn't dropped 2% mentality allowing us the platform to get back in the game then that 6 minutes may well not have happened either.. We'll never know

But to make stuff to fit an adgenda to slag off a man just makes you look a touch bitter mate

Once you call the manager deliberately by the wrong name it makes your post lose any sort of credibility

It's how you expect an 8 year old to talk

Talk about the managers errors ( there are numerous) but once you call him Brenda or people mention his teeth or car it just makes the argument daft and makes you think that you can't make a valid argument so to throw a petty name in substansates your point

It doesnt

Does it really deserve a drama?
Its called having a laugh. Try it once in a while. I never knew the letter N meant so much to you... 

He's not "one of us". He's "one of them".

I don't even particularly want him sacked. Because that would lead to false hope and  lot of "its Rodgers fault" smokescreen stuff in the media spin.

If the guy showed he was "one of us", he'd get a lot more respect from the fan base.
As it stands, he's a self serving little pillock, who thinks all his Xmases have come at once being promoted way over his level to a club(well formerly, atleast!) way above his stature. The yes man of all yes men.

Team wise we're being shat on more even than under the G&H era (no administration threat, but all the stars have been sold, replaced by bargain basement stuff). We pay his wages, he gives us very little back. I think there are infinitely more important things to deal with than an N in Rodgers's name.

Brenda.

Twatway.

What age are you?

Brenda.

Twatway.

What age are you?

Old enough to remember when we were a football club. And a great one at that.
How old are you? Born the same year as the Premier League? Or the G&H takeover?

PS are you saying you DON'T think Fenway are tw*ts?

Old enough to remember when we were a football club.

Then act like it.

For the record I've been supporting the club for the best part of 30 years. 87/88 was the first side I have proper memory of.

I'm not overly enamoured with FSG but I'm not going to call them Twatway like some childish arsehole.

Was decent that Milan team. And the daft thing is, in 07, we should have won, and we lost in the final.

And we actually had to GET to the finals in the first place playing the likes of Traore.

The only "childish arsehole" as you so (cough) eloquently put it seems to be yourself.
Stop being such a stuffed shirt and clouding the key issues.

Rodgers isn't some footballing deity, neither are the hedge funders he works for.

My enemy's ally isn't MY  ally.
Thats all that needs to be said.

How did we manage to get onto Rafa's sub's in the European Cup Final in the Brendan Rodgers No excuses thread?

Yup we were the better team in that final. Milans first goal was a poxy shoulder deflection and their second a poor lapse in defence by us.

Funny how so few talk about that final it's one we really left behind us.

Not quite.

The fact that you're a boring broken record who doesn't understand a thing about the sport ytou spend so much time writing about also needs to be added. 

EDIT: Let me guess - I'm back on ignore / need to go off and play rounders / need to get back to Boston? There you go - saved you the effort; that's all you bring to the forum.

You might want to debate like a 6 year old in the playground mate but while you do don't expect me to take much of what you say seriously.

No idea mate maybe to make the thread interesting.

That was when Rafa first questioned H&G even though they'd only been there 3 months. We got Torres though.

Everybody knows that, do they. Well it's news to me, I doubt Rafa could be 'bullied' into a decision by anyone!

can I join in the same group because its the first I have heard. Rafa was stubbourn to a fault nooway on Gods earth would he let a player change his mind . I think we need another thread for "the voices in my head told me Rafa was hired to win the league" etc.
