Rodgers is king of the 'we were outstanding' after his team gets hammered

 

 

They didn't get hammered but what a goal. Still having some pints to celebrate, but it's early evening here.

I just mean in general not this game, he says it often when he loses. I am not being super critical, it is perfectly legitimate if he thinks his team responds better to that praise but it is quite funny at times

They had a good start to the 2nd half but didn’t really create much, they had a couple of half chances in the 2nd half, that is all. We didn’t do much in the 2nd half until the last moment, but it was very much a bone eventful 2nd half of football really.

Spot on.  We were pretty average today so an OUTSTANDING team would have put us to the sword.  Your team weren't outstanding Brendan, you were outdone by a better coach/manager.

We were better first half but it was scrappy. Second half they utterly bored the whole ground to death by keeping the ball endlessly and doing fuck-all with it. We didn't have an answer til right at the death so I'd put it down as a flukey win but not because they were particularly impressive.

See my response above.  Not a flukey win at all.  Eddie is the man.

Rodgers often does that, but Pep does it often as well. Think it's that mentality they have where results come from playing the right way and if they play the right way and don't win, they're not going to criticise the team.

Leicester reminded me of Brighton who reminded me of Rodgers' Swansea. Pass you to death, try and exhaust you, force the result... unsuccessfully. We've won both of these very similar games 2-1 with one goal from a set piece and the other on the break; both goals conceded were from set pieces too. 

 

There's something very dangerous about us on the counter, like (or 'in transitions' as Howe seems to deliberately call it). If you're going to tiki-taka at SJP then you'd better hope it creates at least a couple goals or you're going to be vulnerable to those breaks.

was absolutely perfect Joe Willock there. The kind of run that he did on loan. Quick move and boom he’s off - he’s faster than most with that long stride of his.

Despite his two goals, still slow. Worrying. 


Aye, he started that run in the Wolves game, eventually got in the box for the last minute of this game to head in winner.

Think he was actually looking to get into the box for the Crystal Palace game, but fortunately arrived early.
