    The club can't move on like this really win a game or two and he saves his job lose a few and his job is on the line.

    It's over for Brendan it's time for FSG now to pull the trigger and bring in an experienced manager.

    Losing is not a problem, the manner of the defeats to West Ham, utd stoke etc that is the real problem.
    If the level of performance improves, he could very well survive

    If he's kept on, he'd really have to get it right a lot more and string an impressive run together, to make me disregard last season and some of the performances from this one.

    To be honest, I'm very wary of having a manager that can look as lost as he has done. Happy we won. Fair play to him and the squad, but I'd still like to consider another manager.

    Keep dodging the answer.

    He answered you though, then you changed the question.

    You ask too many questions.

    No idea if this is a real quote or not, but apparently at the post match press conference this was said:
    Brendan Rodgers "there's a group of people who don't want me here behind the scenes"

    Reporter: "What do you mean by group? Commentators, people who talk about the cub?"

    Rodgers: "No, I'm talking about people outside here"

    Good to get the win but Villa barely attacked yet scored two goals. Worrying stuff, especially from the usual culprits. But onwards and hopefully upwards. If Sturridge stays fit Rodgers has a chance of getting up top 4.

    I am only seeing bit of this in quotes on here.

    The last manager to get sacked after a win that I remember had a record of 8 wins and 1 draw in his last 9 games of the season.

    Nigel Pearson

    I posted last week we have a decent squad who can get top 4, all we need is a top manager to come in and sort out the defence first and foremost and we will finish in the top 4 this season. It has to be done as quickly as possible or the chance will be gone.

    Which one of Arsenal, City or United do you see losing out?

    What about a club that's not Leicester?

    Won 9 and drew 1 of his last 10 games at Madrid.

    Well if you disregard all the other clubs in the league there is only Leicester so your answer makes no sense.

    I missed the match but from what i can see attack was on form which is great

    Nice to see our defence being consistent too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    Tipsy and Caovyn are going to war again.

    Lad's, let's just bail and enjoy the actual victory.

    Ah but he's right handed, when was the last time a left handed manager was sacked after a win?

    We wanted to win for the manager. We know what has been said about him and I think we showed we are a group of players behind him and trying to make everything right. The pressure is on him but we wanted to play the way he wanted us to play and I think we did that.

    Class act on and off the pitch today. I'd love if his performance today presaged a return to being able to be what we know he's capable of for a full 90.

    Just realised Sturridge was our third longest playing player in the starting line up today, only Lucas and Skrtel ahead of him.

    To think Barrett confirmed last night that Rodgers didn't even want him at the club and now he is relying on Sturridge to save his job.

    I think one has to measure Sturridge by games not time! :pac:

    Well, at this early stage of the season, Chelsea are looking most vulnerable. They're struggling and look quite dire tbh, and its up to us to push and grab as many points as possible to take advantage of this.

    I think you will find that Pearson is ambidextrous and can fight off wolfs with both his bare hands.

    Not sure how that is particularly relevant tho. If anything it makes a mockery of the theory that he punishes players signed that he didn't want. If they're good enough they become integral parts of the team... (tho I believe the answer is somewhere in the middle and that he favours the players he signed but isn't playing politics, he just thinks they're better and will prove it - rightly or wrongly).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,072 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger

    Arsenal & City will finish in the top 4, United are not great but will dig out wins, Chelsea are in crisis mode. If we hire a decent manager I see no reason why we can't finish ahead of Chelsea or United.

    It makes one wonder about his judgement of players, now with Sturridge he'd not be the only one to have questioned Danny's ability/temperament but clearly the scouts knew better than the manager and then he had to accept the signing against his wishes anyway - which is wrong on both counts really. Luckily even Rodgers couldn't pretend he doesn't score goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,629 ✭✭✭googled eyes


    Couldn't watch the game today because I'm not a real fan.

    ****ing delighted to hear the result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,139 ✭✭✭✭niallo27


    Rodgers is quite unlucky as well though in fairness or maybe the team is, did villa have two shots today and two goals. Utd had 3 shots and 3 goals at old trafford. Fit sturridge and bit of luck and they will fly up the table.

    Rodgers was hired partly because he was someone who was supposed to have a record of improving player.

    He didn't seem to give most of the players he didn't pick a chance this is at detriment of the first team over his ego.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,876 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Feels good to have some strikers again. Having the three of them fighting for two starting positions should give them some good motivation too. Origi as a fourth isn't half and either.

    2 points off 3rd place and people want the manager sacked. The delusion is strong :)
