Let's not forget that while we aren't far off 4th, we've had what was supposed to be a fairly easy start, the games only get harder from here and we have points to make up.

We've had both Arsenal and United away, two of our most difficult games on paper.

“There’s a hysteria around the club,” the Northern Irishman told BBC Sport. “However criticism comes, whether deserved or undeserved, you don’t like it. What has surprised me with it is we’ve lost fewer games than Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in all competitions. We’ve only lost two. There’s scrutiny on the players but it’s made us stronger.

It's quotes like this that bother me about Rodgers. The hysteria is because performances and results haven't been good enough. Then to say there's been scrutiny on the players? In fairness I think Pool fans have been scrutinising the club from top to bottom over the last few weeks. (Owners,Players,Managers,Coaches)

He seemed very confident again on the back of one win. Why not recognise and say results and performances have not been good enough but today was an improvement instead of talking of "hysteria"

Good result for him yesterday, I think the next 5 games (or Sturridges fitness) make or break whether he sees out the season.

Arsenal, United and Stoke away.

Easy start?

Nonsensical post.

Not an easy start by any means but it's about to get even harder. The next months run of fixtures would be cruel on any manager let alone one under so much pressure.

Just saw a tweet that showed the five teams we've beaten in the League since March and where they are in the league atm.

Bournemouth 16th
Stoke 17th
Villa 18th
Newcastle 19th
QPR Relegated

'The Rodgers' responds to the conspirators.

I'm really starting to think he posts on here.

That really is something some of the posters on here us as an excuse for Liverpool being sh1te.

LuckyLloyd · 27-09-2015 09:49AM

Delighted to win yesterday, only caught the MOTD highlights but we looked much more fluid with Sturridge playing with a partner. Their goals were very poor however.

Agree with Mike's posts though - it doesn't remove the scrutiny around Rodgers and his decisions. He's under watch for a period now. In that context, some of his post match quotes are not positive. If he's not cognisant of why there is pressure I'd be slightly baffled.

Big week ahead.

rob316 · 27-09-2015 09:54AM

So the next four league games we have

Everton away
Spurs away
Southampton home
Chelsea away

We took 7 from those 12 last season. If we took the same this season that would leave us on 18 points after 11 games. Not a disaster but still a mountain to climb. Followed by palace at home and city away, both games we lost last season.

After that run I could see us on 20 points after 13 games. If your target is 2 ppg then it's not far off and could be enough to save him, performances depending also.

This is all guess work but gives a good indication of where we could be. I really don't see him surviving to the end of November.

dogbert27 · 27-09-2015 09:59AM

When was the last time we played a derby without a player born in Liverpool in the team?

Will Rossiter make the bench for it?

Caovyn Lineah · 27-09-2015 10:38AM

How would people feel if we were to get 10 points from the next 4 games? 3 wins and a draw against Chelsea. Something which I feel is very possible with Coutinho and Sturridge back together.

I can only see us getting a point against Southampton in those 4 fixtures.

That's a very very pessimistic prediction but not beyond the realms of possibility right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see 5 or 6 points from the 12.

There's zero chance we only get 1 point from the next 4 games in the league.

Agent Coulson · 27-09-2015 10:58AM

A couple of draws in those games and the yoyoing of should he be sacked or keep his job will continue and the club will stay in limbo for another month.

Its pretty simple really, he needs to show now that he can get this team performing again on a regular basis. The game against Norwich and yesterdays game shows that performances have improved.
I think it was a bit premature to say he should have been sacked after just 6 premier league fixtures, just as its premature now to say this team has turned a corner.

I would still say that he should be judged by Christmas and if he has shown enough to suggest that he has turned things around then he should be given to the end of the season, then judged at the end of the season. But anything less than a credible top 4 challenge this season should not be enough.

No there's not. Unlikely yes, 0% chance no.

I think people are being harsh on sakho yesterday. It's near impossible to stop someone running at speed from winning a header. It was just one of them goals.

Agreed. He couldn't really have done too much about it.

Exactly, Gestede had a run on him. Impossible to win a header in that situation , especially against someone who is so good in the air.

The first goal though!!! I wanted to strangle Can for making such a basic, stupid mistake.

The yoyoing that is going on in the media isn't going on at the club by all accounts. The manager has just had a huge vote of confidence from the owners and not the 'dreaded vote of confidence' we so often here about. This one actually involved a new set up and a pile of money. And the players are playing for the manager.
It's easy for us here to debate his suitability to the position but at the end of the day, the money men seem to be behind him. As I said previously, if they suddenly turned around and sacked him this quickly after diving into the club's coffers so recently, I would be seriously unimpressed and think it would be a sign of a much bigger problem.

If I thought for a second you'd be good for it, I'd have no problem doing so.

Now make a "funny" retort, soak up the thanks and we'll move along.

If people agree with you or not I would think everyone on this thread hopes you're right.

My original question was more aimed towards peoples opinions on the manager should we pick up 10 points in the next 4 league games.

OwaynOTT · 27-09-2015 11:29AM

Since we went on a run again to Villa, we haven't been beaten in the league. We also have a ppg of 3 in that period as well.
My only concern would be, whilst we are scoring on average three goals per game, we are conceding two.
Now if we can extend the run until May, who knows how many games we will be excluding.
