When did you lose faith in Brendan Rodgers and his bumper book of football tactics?

For me it was the capitulation at Peterborough. Thankfully I was not there but I listened to the commentary on the radio.

I can't explain why, but I just had a bad feeling about him from the off, I'm afraid.

This, but tbh it's not Rogers so much as I've lost faith in the club itself. A 2nd Premier League season where we showed only fleeting ambition to stay up, a gazillion chances to secure promotion at the first attempt thrown away by the general malaise of the second half of last season, and then the firesale since that has stripped our squad bare of assets and left us struggling to stay afloat in this league.

It's frustrating and demoralising. I'm not sure a change of manager would achieve much.

The first time I saw his signings and realised they were (far) worse than the players we'd lost or let go.(Admittedly some wanted to go but it's not regulation that because a player wants to go you have to replace him with dross (Doyle Vs Rasiak). Besides, Rosenior and Harper didn't want to go. Look who we've replaced them with...unbelievable.)

Sure as hell sticking with the same one isn't going to cut it.

Posh game (was there)

Brenda tells Marek he's coming off

Marek unhappy and tries something, loses the ball in our half

Goal for Peterborough

Brenda clueless as to what to do next, his body language said it all

After the schoolboy defending today, not a decent striker in the squad that daft pratt Rodger says after the game we can still finish in the top half he is a total joke and if he does not go we will get relegated. His tactics are total garbage

before the season even started when he gave Long Kevin Doyles number 9 shirt, this obviously indicated he was his first choice striker, SO WRONG!!!

Defeat was always likely today, Brom are a god side. But this was it for me. Just one game too many. Chopping and changing the side far too often, it's ridiculas. No stability. We seem to start well, and then he opens his mouth at half time and we fall to pieces.

Just had enough now. Have no faith in the guy at all.

I wont boo the players, no chance, but if fans turn on Rodgers, I'm in! He needs to go and go asap!

I bluddy well will...and barrack them. In fact if I had a machine gun and McAnuff walked past...C*** didn't even try (neither did Long). At least Cummings (and Kebe) tried even if he was diabolical. I pay extortionate amounts of money to see the players at least try. If Mc Anuff was trying then I'm Gordon Brown. Complete waste of space. And then he had the temerity to clap the fans at the end. "I won't boo the players" my arse.

IMO stitched up like a kipper by a wantaway chairman - given a bit more time, might just be able to turn the corner and, if he does, will take us back to the good times.

Peter's Borough for me. I wasn't happy with the way we capitulated and there was obviously no answer. There's no cohesion between players, no trust. We've got a long long way to go before we're anywhere near our opposition were today.

Never wanted Rodgers as manager but now he's here he deserves another month to sort it out or he has to go.

Our right side - Cummings and Kebe. F*ck me. The other side - Bertrand and McAnuff. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeet.

I've watched an out of form Bodin and Lambert 'play football' more effectively than this lot.

Christ, Murty and Forster looks a whole world away from this.
