The reasons why we now want Brendan Rodgers sacked at Leicester

Leicester City fans want a proper closure before setting the hard swallowed defeat against Nottingham Forest in their rearview.

Nothing hurts more than losing out to a Championship team that is your rival. The East Midlands derby showcased why this team is incapable of progressing under Brendan Rodgers. However, a minority of fans are still unconvinced of changing the man in charge. So let us talk about all the things that we find wrong at Leicester at this very instant, which can make you see reason from a logical standpoint why change is the only constant.

Why Leicester City must get rid of Brendan Rodgers

A thing that the Northern Irishman has been regularly getting wrong is picking the starting eleven. There seems to be no pragmatic approach behind the manager’s decisions. Two recent examples of this are the exclusion of Nampalys Mendy for the first half of the season and the omission of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall against Forest.

Mendy has proven why the manager was wrong for remaining out of the squad registrations. He ventured out to showcase his capability of emerging as one of the best midfielders in the Africa Cup of Nations. Not only did the Senegalese manage to feature in the AFCON Team of the Tournament, but he also bagged his first international trophy for his nation.

Against Forest, there was no aggression from the Premier League side. Almost every player bowed down their heads and accepted their fate. A derby is won on passion and not with talent. A local lad from the area would have understood the gravity. That is why someone like Dewsbury-Hall was an imperative obvious to start.

The next thing that infuriated fans is how Rodgers has conducted himself in front of the media. His tones regarding overachieving have agitated the Foxes. His disregarding nature with avoiding taking responsibility for his failures have been a reoccurring theme of this season. Often he has thrown the team under the bus but never has accepted the challenge of improving them. His signings in Jannik Vestergaard and Ryan Bertrand have left the side to operate on a shoestring budget.

The players know that Brendan Rodgers is not an authoritarian figure. Their immature outlook has taken undue advantage of this. Though they deny it, some Leicester City players were caught red-handed partying (allegedly) till the early hours of the morning after losing out in a humiliating fashion against local rivals. It is not even the first time this has happened.

Some of the same players jeopardized a top-four finish last season similarly by breaking Covid protocols before facing West Ham. So why do the players have no responsibility or fear of the consequences of their actions? The manager is incompetent at handling players whose heads have turned. Their status as Premier League stars has made them feel invincible. They have had it far too easy. Moreover, there is a lack of proper veterans in the squad. It makes this squad venture directionless in and out of the pitch. They don’t suffer the consequences of their actions due to the clout they hold.

The situation has become a classic tale of the manager against the players. There is a lobby present in the outfit. There is leeway for underperforming, which can’t change without instilling a new regime. An authoritarian personality, who the players would respect, can still get the best out of this squad.

Brendan Rodgers has taken this team to the threshold; he should have found some solutions amidst an abundance of problems but has he? Considering he is still one of the top paid managers in the league, we expected better from him – Rodgers Out.
