Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Warning in OP, 10/12

Was only half watching that today as I was also watching the Munster club hurling final. No prizes for guessing which took more of my attention as the afternoon wore on.

When Palace got the ball there was loads of space for them to use the ball productively. When Liverpool had it the pitch seemed to shrink

Rodgers is slowly digging his own grave. He's not down as deep as the magic 6 ft yet, but he's getting there with his continued crap selections and tactics.
Put down the shovel Brendan.

Reading a bit about Sturridge and all i can say is WTF

http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/richie-sadlier-extended-periods-of-recuperation-adding-insult-to-injury-30766523.html

Sadlier has to be pulling the urine.

Turtyturd · 23-11-2014 07:48PM

Yeah wouldn't put much faith in that, Sadlier was unprofessional and couldn't hack the scrutiny so others could be the same.

Seems to be straight out of the Stan Collymore school of any attention is good attention.

I hope they stick with him because i like the way he tries to play attacking football.

i too think sacking him is the wrong approach but we are not a playing attacking football this season.
He is not sending out sides that will play attacking football.

He said today that everybody including the manager needs to look at themselves tonight. he is right, His team selection and set up has been wrong all season ,and he is trusting players on the pitch who are letting him and the club down every match.
Results are hard to predict so I do not want to put an ultimatum on results in the next 6-8 weeks ,but if we do not turn about performances on the pitch he will be sacked in the next 8 weeks.

Also, like it or not, Rodgers is done if he's bottom half of the table come February/March.

Rodgers will be done if we lose next 3. FSG have been ruthless before and they'll do it again

Said after the chelsea game we needed to win our next 6 games including the two champions league games and we have made a horrific balls of it already, now we have a long journey to bulgaria and ludo seem to have done well in their home games so ive completely no faith in us winning that game tbh.
Get the younger players in for the next few games i say, skrtel gerrard johnson and lovren are all a massive hindrance at this stage.

Didn't Rory Smith write a blog piece with similar overtones during the week? It does seem like someone at the club is leaking this nonsense for whatever reason.

We aren't playing attacking football ! we certainly aren't trying to play defensive football due to all the goals we leak, so can someone tell me what type of football BR is trying to play? cause i certainly can't make it out

His stubbornness to stick with his regulars in defense will be his downfall, and for that he can only blame himself when it happens.

googled eyes · 23-11-2014 08:11PM

I wouldn't mind if we weren't playing attacking football once we didn't giving away soft goals.

We are neither playing attack or defensive football. Were just about playing fuct ball

Did Rodgers actually this?

Lose to Lugo (which would make Basel almost a dead rubber even if they also lose due to likely goal difference - though I suppose Real could put 5 past them without reply), get beaten by Stoke and not beat Leicester and that will be that I think. I'd say FSG will start sounding someone out if only as "the interim" to tighten the side up and lift the lack of confidence - someone like Tony Pulis maybe?

Imagine the explosion of outrage if that happened.

With a longer view we can all make a wish list

Diego Simeone, Jurgen Klopp, Steve McClaren er...

Fúck it, I'll take it...

"When you spend £100m, you should be winning the league."

Brendan Rodgers, Manager L.F.C.

The Ludo game is massive. Lose and and that's the CL campaign over really. I also think the end would be on the cards.

However if Rodgers gets the club to the last 16 and makes a fair go and decent effort against whoever is in the next round but ultimately lose, I think FSG would give him more time, perhaps until the end of the season.

Lose and the pressure will be intense. Rodgers would be better off, and I hate saying this, letting the club lose to Basel in an attempt to avoid the bogey prize of the Europa League. The Europa League is the last thing we need.

Chickens coming home to roost for Brendan now.

Rayne Wooney · 23-11-2014 09:07PM

Looks like he needs a director of football, a director of defence and a director of words coming out of his mouth

Hidalgo · 23-11-2014 09:11PM

Don't forget to clock in tomorrow morning for Meltdown Monday.

Kerrigooney · 23-11-2014 09:15PM

I can't wait for the next international break

Chin up lads, when you're knocked out of the CL you`ll have more time to concentrate on the league

Doesn't the league finish the week before the CL final.

Is that quote going to be thrown out every time there's a bad result? Serious pain in me hole hearing it at this stage.

He needs a Director of Picking The Team as well, judging by the last few weeks!

Don't go into the other Liverpool Superthread then. They're having a whale of a time. :pac:

mikeym · 23-11-2014 09:31PM

At least Pardew responded well to the pressure from the fans, Brendan Rodgers has a tough job too but we are better than Palace,Newcastle and Hull and we should be beating these teams.

I said it last week, we had a handy run of games and that if we didn't start picking up wins, then Rodgers could be gone by Christmas.

Anything other than victory against Ludogrets and the pressure will mount even further. It doesn't look good though. What's scariest of all about us this season though is other than the Spurs game, we've shown nothing.

Journo's on BBC 5 Live, TalkSport, and a number of the podcast were all trying say the same thing during the week.

As someone said something is being leaked it might be coming from Liverpool or it might be coming from the England camp.

I wouldn't have him as manager but I would love to have McClaren in as a coach.

The guy is a world class coach and up to speed with everything good about coaching in todays world of football.
