You don’t agree and that’s fine What evidence do you feel that I’ve disregarded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 It's obviously just an opinion but Rogers sides would batter the Ange or O'Neill era. I reckon O'Neills would better Ange's, just. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Brendan Rodgers side didn't need to put pressure on refs or ban away fans to gain an edge, they could actually play football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to consider the starting position of MON and Anges side. Both sides were an absolute shambles the season previously. I think we finished 21 points behind Rangers in 99/00 so to turn that around utterly smash them and then win a treble was outstanding. BR only had to maintain the large gap we already had. Rangers were nowhere and never going to challenge and Aberdeen realistically weren’t going to go all the way. Yes going invincible is a feat but you need to apply context to it also. I don’t think BR’s side could have done the run to Seville , well we know they couldn’t since Europe didn’t go too well for BR. Anges side clearly isn’t at that level yet either. 8 minutes ago, bennett said: Brendan Rodgers side didn't need to put pressure on refs or ban away fans to gain an edge, they could actually play football. We didn’t need to ban away fans to get an edge, the league was effectively already over and you bore witness to it all.

Ange's team are nowhere near it. I think Barry Robson and Jim Goodwin would disagree given last time Robson took Aberdeen to Celtic Park they got four put past them and it could easily have been 8, while Goodwin played the most negative, embarrassing confidence shattering football to avoid an 8-0 pumping at Pittodrie and still lost. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Come on now lads. Not many of these players get in to that Rodgers team. Plus he's a better manager than Ange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E Coyote Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Are you all forgetting Rodgers was clueless in Europe. He thought his team could go toe to toe with the likes of PSG and got his arse absolutely handed to him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
