    That 'awesome' feeling you get after you spend 215m and you end up having a Hodgson signing marshaling between the sticks over Christmas 4 years on.

    Gonna have to treat myself to a nice bottle of Suntory Hibiki 17yr old to get through to January.

    Wouldn't mind a 17 yr old to get me through January tbh

    2 points behind with a game in hand. They go 3rd if they win. Hardly the end of the world.

    I see Bony scored again. Had doubts about him myself but would have been worth the extra 5M or so ahead of Ballotelli.

    I'd take Benitez. Would have gotten us out of the group stages probably anyways...

    Playing without a recognised striker for half the game ? Lambert would have converted a few of those chances.

    Rodgers has not got a clue what is going on. Hopefully Arsenal will do us all a favour and deliver the fatal blow.

    Lambert wouldn't have got in those positions in the first place thats the whole point. No where near good enough, we shall not be seeing much more of him Id say

    Yeah it was the correct decision to go without Lambert.

    Just what was he thinking going for Jones...

    But he was brought in to take the club on from Walter Mazzarri and has spent more money than Mazzarri had.

    And he has not taken them forward.

    I am dissapointed after today we played well in parts but again our defensive play let us down. YOU SHOULD NEVER AND I MEAN EVER LET VALENCIA PASS LIKE HE DID. Jones for the most part had nothing to do bar diving a bit early for the first goal. That been said we do need another goalkeeper or 2 and sell him and Mig. I have been a fan of Brendan (The Rodgers for some) and what he was trying to do but his days are probably numbered be it before or after Christmas. However gets the job be it Benitezz or whoever they will have a confidence task on there hands with the team. Whenever Brendan does go I wish him well and thank him for last year

    At least benitez would fcuking rotate the squad and try out players. It took rodgers untill gerrard was practically walking for full games before he started to rotate him. Lovren/allen/hendo/johnson all need dropping, i fear rodgers will hunt out promising players like sakho/can/manquillo.

    I agree he keeps playing all the wrong players and yet the lads who might actually improve the team and make the difference are being frozen out. You can add Suso and Markovic to that trio you named too.

    For that alone he shouldnt be left in the job but as I said realism is required and theres no point in sacking brendan just so we can bring in another idiot who will be similarly as incompetant when things go wrong like AVB

    Fans ranting sack the manager after a poor third of a season is appalling to see imo, the chap gets no credit for a teams overperformance but the knives are out when they underperform.

    gets huge credit for last year... but the mistakes were made in the summer... shocking really.. from him, the transfer committee and the club....

    Toure and Agger marshalled by Reina. Would be rock solid.

    And now it looks like Sakho and Suso may be forced out. ITs disgraceful how hes treating certain players who would definately improve the team. Susos quality but even when hes fit he wont be played

    Any truth behind a bust up between Rodgers and Gerrard in dressing room after the game?

    :confused: Thats why he was near the sack after getting knocked by Bilbao in qualifying last August & is behind Sampdoria & Genoa this season. He signed Michu & David Lopez last summer both have done nothing & also overpaid for Albiol who has been a disater for them. He isn't doing a really bad job but Id say it would be below average don't forget 2 years ago they were the main challengers to Juventus.

    The last two seasons in two different leagues he's finished 3rd and won a trophy. This season they're in the mix for third again, only beaten twice in fourteen games. A couple too many draws.

    He's a very solid career over a long period at this stage.

    The simple fact of the matter since Rodgers became manager two and half seasons ago he has failed to address the the single major issue of the defense.

    The club has spent the guts of £75 million on a goalkeeper and defenders yet we are still leaking goals for fun.

    As a manager and as a coach he has done nothing with them.

    There has never been a sign of leadership or even a sign they have been coached to play in anyway at all that looks defensive.

    That is shocking from any coach.

    Last season he had two strikers in the form of there lives scoring goals to paper of the cracks that he doesn't know how to set up a defense.

    Untill that is sorted out we won't be going anywhere near the top 4/6.

    Regardless of whether folk want Rodgers in/out he definitely deserves more than the sneering dismissal of his entire reign at Anfield. If you want him out, fair enough. You can call for his head without calling him a spoofer etc.

    still can't believe that some think rodgers is some kind of saviour and everything will work out in the end.

    look at his record...are swansea any worse off now since rodgers left?

    Oh, and seeing people call for Tony Puils in 'til the end of the season and Robbie Keane to be signed in January? Well, we certainly lose the run of ourselves on here quite spectacularly.

    If Rodgers does get the axe, I really hope the rumours of Vilas Boas getting the job are not true.

    I'd take Benitez over him any day.
    seeing people call for Tony Puils in 'til the end of the season

    Hey, at least the team would pull together and fight!

    Sorry but create the chances Sterling had today and he'd have tucked 2 away.

    He wouldn't have had the legs to get in behind the defence for a start.
