    As much as I hate to say it, Rodgers is getting the sack.

    I think this could be the final nail in the coffin for Brendan Rogers if they are considering sacking him. Out of the ECL midweek and then a loss to your biggest rival. The timing just doesn't help him at all.

    Not yet IMO. But a loss to bournemoth - who are flying high at the top of the championship - and then to arsenal in the league could well spell the end of him.

    Liverpool are on course to finish 8th or 9th. If things don't change, yes....he is getting sacked.

    DDG is man of the match - tells some of the story i guess, on another day we could have been 4 or 5 up.

    Big pressure on Rodgers now.

    Yep he kept them in it.

    Sterling seemed to disappear after his big miss too.

    lollingtons. The sacking benchmark actually is losing:

    away to City
    home to Villa
    away to West Ham
    away to Basel
    home and away to Madrid
    away to Newcastle
    home to Chelsea
    away to Palace
    away to Utd

    and being generally awful in terms of performances
    and out of the CL
    and out of the reckoning for CL qualificatio
    having wasted a pile of cash

    Yeah that would ****ing do it.

    Difficult to sum that up. Some good passages of outfield play. Chances created but not put away. We desperately need a striker. But where do you get one in January? Honestly think 4th (CL qual) is beyond us unless the EL is won. Wednesday night is so important now.

    Going to your biggest rivial without playing a striker.

    Going to Madrid in the CL and playing a B-Team.

    For me those two thing alone should have him sacked.

    And the B team was better than the A team :pac:

    Seeing AVB high on that list gives me the shivers. Out of the frying pan....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭JohnDaniels


    Difference between the two teams is in goal and up front. Both solveable in January, and both clearly recognised by Rodgers. Talk of him being sacked is nonsense at this stage.

    Ah heyor! You want to give him more money in January? He is a dead man walking, it is only a matter of when not if now IMO. He shouldn't get another cent.


  • Posts: 17,925 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Rodgers will have the rest of the season and beyond imo, Sterling missed two great opportunities, not Rodgers, one of them has to go in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    Diego simeone



    Yea, because he'd definitely going to leave a team who just won the La Liga, got to the final of Champions leagues and are challenging for the La Liga this year for us. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    Seeing Steve Staunton on that list gives me AIDS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,715 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Rodgers is living and dying by his signings tbh.

    The fact he can't organise a defence is just the icing on the cake.

    Sturridge could return and score 30 goals but it dosent matter as we will continue to ship piss easy goals. Defence was pathetic again today.

    No ****! It's so far beyond us we can't even see it. Last year was the most I've enjoyed watching Liverpool play since the early 1990s. This year has been the worst I've seen them play. Absolutely gormless and never even look like scoring the majority of the time. Little to no skill or creativity displayed. run the ball straight into opposing players, fail, try again........

    I honestly can almost not bear to watch them at the moment

    We don't have a goalscorer to shoulder the loss of Suarez and Sturridge and whoever ' s fault that is should go, if it's rodgers so be it.

    United are no great shakes we could of had a few goals today but de Gea was outstanding.

    In spite of it all I'm fully behind rodgers still.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Ganymede Glow


    He might not get sacked but he's certainly not getting any money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭mikeym


    Please resign Brendan Rodgers we've had enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,945 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    Over to the game next Sunday could be a bit of craic if they don't win on Wednesday

    We don't often agree, but we do here.

    The signings are just absolutely criminally bad.

    I genuinely can't think of a manager at a big club in the modern era with a record as bad :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭pmy.murphy


    Well thats 4th place gone now for sure

    Shipping goals due to lack of potency up front. Case in point sterling's shot was saved, United broke forward and scored immediately. Proper goalscorers are vital.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    His team selection was just bizarre today. In saying that I thought we started the match today as well as we have in a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,365 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    How has Emre Can only played for 20 minutes since the Chelsea game?

    I would have said Stevie Wonder.
    Mike Bassett would be better than that charlatan

    Forgot about him.
    A decent manager and we would have won this game no problem

    How hard can it be to get a teams tails up, if not for a Utd match?

    He has had his chances, and failed.
