Just a thought maybe BR isn't as hapless in Europe as most think, could just be unlucky timing, all English teams are doing shyte at the moment in Europe, the standard of English teams in general is poor. City who look so good in England at times can barely get out of a group, Chelsea under Mourinho last year got schooled by 10 men of PSG, United this year already getting turned over by PSV after taking their best player off them in the summer.

Oh ****

Maybe he's doing sh*te in the PL because other managers/teams are doing sh*te?

Lovren rested? RESTED?

Should be arrested for impersonating a footballer!

Charlie19 · 16-09-2015 05:07PM

I wish he'd concentrate on finding his best 11 and a way of utilising them. While we're not playing great at the moment, I don't think so many changes will help in finding form.

Thanks for that lads, all very constructive. It was just a thought.

He's a manager. He should win football matches, or he's not doing his job.

It's not a terrible point but its another excuse...Rodgers needs to start performing. No more excuses. He's had the support from the owners, he has his players, no more games with the TC...make it work.

Potential Underachiever · 16-09-2015 05:29PM

While I'm currently scraping the barrel for a way to show we're not that shyte or BR isn't that bad I thought I'd also mention about the United game that barely a peep has been mentioned about the injuries and suspension, Hendo, Coutinho and Sturridge could probably be mentioned as our 3 best players, while Lallana & Allen would have been an addition to the squad at least, whereas United were missing Rooney who has played shyte this season, yeah we were definitely a bit unlucky in that regard.

Calm down lads ok, I know everything is not great , I'm just trying to slightly justify some of it, there is still many many things wrong, manager obviously at the fore front.

Being told 'it's not terrible' would be definitely considered a success for me.

Other teams don't really have anything to do with us. Them being bad doesn't excuse us being bad. and we've been ****ing horrific in Europe under Rodgers. Like, really consistently embarrassing.

Rodgers: "There is long way to go. Players are still settling in. There’s been a big transformation."

He cannot keep saying this and expecting people to buy it. There is always this excuse of players settling in, they might settle easier if they are played in the correct position.

It's incredible how anyone could swallow his ****e to be honest. This is what Rodgers was saying last Jan;

Rodgers wrote:

“The reality was, with so many changes, we were not going to win the league this season. I believe we will be ready to challenge for the title next year”

And now he is still blaming new players :rolleyes:

The fella is an absolute fraud

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2015 06:14PM

James Pearce

Rodgers reinforces his point

My vision of the game and the model of how I work is pretty clear really.

If we don't play well, we have less chance of winning

We have seen in last few performances, when we don’t play well it gives us far less chance of winning.

You can lose games, but it’s how you lose them. The last couple of defeats is not how you want to lose a game of football.

"The pressure is always here, it’s part and parcel of being the manager at such a huge club.”

JohnDaniels · 16-09-2015 06:16PM

You can't expect us to score goals with a useless striker like Balotelli. We have no other striking options. A decent striker will transform the squad and our attack. We just need people who can put the ball in the back of the net. You wait and see.

corwill · 16-09-2015 06:18PM

Super, I'm really looking forward to seeing us lose better.

We haven't played well in more than the very occasional game in over a year.

Agent Coulson · 16-09-2015 06:25PM

Linda tweeting about the hurling in Fenway.

She won't get a clean sheet in that game.

Im interested in seeing this Zahavi guy thats in the lineup to face chelsea. He's got some scoring record.

Yes we were missing some of our best players but the whole thing was a shambles and it would have still been a shambles if any of those players started against United. Why couldn't he just play a diamond or flat 442 and get the players fired up for such a big match? Football is a simple game but frauds like Rodgers like to over complicate it with mad tactics and talking complete shyte. Just keep it simple, play the players in their right positions and motivate them, if they don't give 100% then drop them.

To be fair enough money has been spent on the squad to be able to shoulder the loss of those 3. We didn't even try to beat united that is the issue, the tactics and formations were baffling.

After the anger from Saturday has dissipated I'm still struggling to justify any reason for Rodgers to continue.

The games coming up are on paper very winnable so he will survive the next month however another drubbing against Everton away and he is finished imo.

Gerrard doing punditry for BT, might shoehorn in some of his thoughts about the club, or read a chapter from The Winds of Winter his book.

They had the banter last night Gary, Rio and "Gerrard" about Rafa not liking him.

Strongbow10 · 16-09-2015 06:52PM

Former Liverpool youngster Armin Hodzic surprisingly only on bench tonight for Zagreb against Arsenal tonight.

Liverpool eventually let him go after 2 seasons away on loan, his contract ran out and couldn't get a work permit. He has started his Dinamo Zagreb career brilliantly.

Definitely one to watch, he is destined for big things

On this "he only called me by my last name thing"...i can clearly remember him very regularly calling him Stebie in public anyway...
