    That's what Rodgers wants you to believe.

    More than enough blame to go around. There should be a minibus taking the lot of them out of Anfield, Rodgers and the TC.

    Danny Murphy just cleared it up on MoTD 2 Mignolet is to blame for everything especially Lovren's issues.

    Not really how I wanted us to be compeating with Real Madrid.

    That's exactly what I said when I saw how Rodgers lined up against them over there.

    No banners allowed. Convenient eh?

    Someone set up a Go Fund Me page aimed at raising the 10m euros necessary to pay Rodgers out of the remainder of his contract at Anfield. lol

    I'm sure that will raise a lot of money, and I'm sure the owner of this account will keep it.

    I don't want to seem negative or any thing about klopp as i know very little about him other than he won a bundeslige title( i think) and reached the CL final
    But didn't Dortmund go drastically down hill before he left.?
    If he is so sh1t hot would he not have fixed dortmund ?
    Did ancelloti set the world on alight with chelsea? Maybe we should sound roberto dematteo out for the job ! He won the CL after-all
    There is no over night fix and everybody knows this is BR s sh1t or bust year . He seems to have got his way re the TC so its ALL down to him.
    Personally i'm happy enough for the time being to let him make his own way before a change is needed.
    But the clock is ticking :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,654 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Cloudy N Rainy will be mentioned for Liverpool job if Leiester City continue to impress under him. I can't recall him ever winning a trophy for anyone though.

    The team should be built around Couthino, get players in front of him making runs and have him deeper than the traditional no. 10. He is the one player we have that can pick the ball up in the centre of the pitch and go past a couple of players instead of hitting it back to the defenders.

    Building around one player who will likely move in a couple of years, or may get injured, not ideal.

    Compare our last season with Suarez and since. By all means cater to him when available, but build, no.

    Pardew probably not but I think FSG will go for the up and coming manager rather than the established. Monk or Koeman.

    We need a winner

    Tbh I think they might go for somebody like Klopp, more tried and trusted to try and get the best out of the £200 million spent or whatever it is.

    I don't think FSG are adverse to changing direction if needed.

    It was known the day he signed for the club. It was among the list of things that caused fans to raise their concerns. It was the foundation to many suggesting he was a spoofer.

    I prefer to use more moderate language myself in order to avoid unnecessary arguments but the core of their arguments have been proven accurate.

    The like of Alan and Lloyd got a disgusting amount of abuse on this forum for their views.

    Your off the mark here mate. Nobody knew what would happen when he took over. A lot of us had doubts (me included) but I was willing to give him a chance which by and large most people were. A bad/mediocre opening few months led on to a good end to the first season and a fantastic second season. Credit it to Suarez or whoever you want but the fact is Rodgers was manager so book stops with him...... Just as it does now and should.

    You say their arguments have proved accurate...... Well if you wait long enough so will most dissenting views in football because managers don't last too long.... After all Rodgers is the second longest serving manager in the premiership. No one minds alternate views imo and in fact when they are backed up and reasonable they are usually very interesting and lead to good debate which is proper order. Frankly a lot of the things put forward by some posters (on both sides) was complete manure and I happily ignored both for the drivel that it was. No poster deserves abuse but there were posts that were simply ridiculous on both sides and most got what they deserved..... Make no mistake they knew exactly new hat they were doing.

    To proclaim now that one side has been proven right is wrong as we had an unbelievable season very recently...... The closest we've come to a league title in 25 years lest we forget. This managers journey has proven 'both sides' right at different times. But in my opinion, Unfortunately for Liverpool football club, He has lost the dressing room and has run out of ideas. I'd love him to prove me wrong and get top 4 but it's time for FSG to get tough and get Klopp or his ilk in charge. However I won't hold my breath ...... The next 3-4 months will show us what FSG are made of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,316 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    Since when is giving a manager time wrong?

    Hodgson, Moyes, yes.

    Rodgers proved himself able enough in his first season and shocked everybody in his second.

    I said it way back, Rodgers making a mess of it afterwards still makes it the right thing to do.

    The believers were wrong in the long run but the doubters called it wrong in 13/14.

    whatever Rodgers did or didn't do in his early reign, it was an incredible decision not to let him go after the Stoke 6-1 game. That was inexcusable.

    There was no reason to back him after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    If Klopp is in anyway available they should get him. Also a top drawer DOF and abandon this transfer committee full of american baseball fans/corporates.

    They hiring policy so far has been shocking.
    Comolli, an absolute spoofer, a known spoofer when we hired him. Jen Chang who went gangster with threads in a cafe towards some big deal on twitter.

    Roy 'I'm a top top top manager who has done it all, in Sweden', they love a lad with a bit of bluster who in reality, is a yes man and will do what he is told.

    The Kenny thing was a silly experiment, one that would make even Newcastle fans lol.

    Onto The Rodgers he takes confidence, belief and talking about the 'young boys' to weird levels, has portraits of himself in the kitchen. He owns too many houses.

    He talked an awful lot in the early days - to FSG (who clearly loved it, with his 400 page dossier) and to the media thereafter.

    Should we tell them, the media and more importantly the opposition, and the transfer market in great minute detail how we are going to play, win, what sort of players we are now ready to be fleeced on more than typical? Much to gain from that? Or more bragging rights as an individual to lay it all out if you then succeed?

    From the above and tactics wise: players he plays, and out of position, he acts like Dr Evil:

    Dr. Evil: Scott, I want you to meet daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers

    Scott Evil: What? Are you feeding him? Why don't you just kill him?

    Dr. Evil: I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

    Dr. Evil: All right guard, begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism.
    Lovern

    Dr. Evil: Close the tank!

    Scott Evil: Wait, aren't you even going to watch them? They could get away!

    Dr. Evil: No no no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What?

    Scott Evil: I have a gun, in my room, you give me five seconds, I'll get it, I'll come back down here, BOOM, I'll blow their brains out!

    Dr. Evil: Scott, you just don't get it, do ya? You don't.

    Anyhow, I stated it last season and this, the guy looks beat, he is completely different in interviews and pressers.

    I don't know if he is anxious, reserved to his fate, pissed off, dear in the headlights, lost at sea or just grinding through this difficult end game experience where the club hope he will hand in a p45 and save them 8.7m which he won't, and shouldn't. Why give out long contracts anyhow when most managers don't work out, or for long.

    Anyhow, they should get their finger out of their arse, and do what they can do get Klopp and a top drawer DOF and try their best to stay out of the football element, stick to the coporate, stadium build and twitter.

    And that is my final rant of the day. Gnite m8s

    Up and coming my bollox. We need someone who has won things and has competed to a decent level in Europe, whether we are there at the moment or not.

    If Klopp is waiting for a CL, then bring in him now and offer him a contract until the summer and see can he get us there. Big bonus if required if he does it, if he signs a new contract/extends.

    Why would Klopp agree to such terrible terms? He'd tell us to eff off, and he'd be right to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Indeed. Thats the sort of contract that clubs offer inexperienced coaches or backroom staff. What possible incentive would any established manager have to accept terms like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,646 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Why indeed would you offer Klopp such cat terms, the man has earned the right to be given time to build a squad.


    Ha, look at us discussing whats never gonna happen, FSG will never sack Rodgers.

    Having been frustrated with Rodgers after last season, I was still very much in the camp for giving him another season or at least until January to see how we're getting on. 5 games into the season and I'm fed up with him though.

    The losses alone are bad, but it's the manner of defeat that has done it for me. We were horrific against United. The team selection was dreadful. When I saw Ings name on the team sheet I was hopeful. Finally, back to playing 2 up top. Ings will run all day and cause problems. But no. BR had to go and **** that up too. Ings and Firmino playing as wide players is an absolute disgrace. An utterly clueless decision. What was the motivation behind that? Having two very attack-minded players playing out wide to cover our fullbacks, but being able to counter? What it actually did was just completely nullify those 2 attacking players while leaving Benteke isolated yet again.

    It's a miracle that Klopp and Ancelotti are still available, and right now I would gladly take either. Klopp would be my preference but Ancelotti would definitely be an upgrade.

    Rodgers time seems to be up to everyone but the owners. He has spent an absolute fortune and our team are playing dreadful football. Are we able to effectively play possession based football? No. Can we play counter attacking football? No. Can we shut up shop, be solid and defend a 1-0 lead? No. We can't really do anything well at the minute and Rodgers seems to be making even more bizarre decisions to try and get out of the rut we're in. Instead of keeping it simple, playing players in their proper positions and going with 2 up top he decides he knows better than everyone, plays a formation that doesn't suit us with players that don't suit the formation.

    **** off Brendan Rodgers.
