    Barrett - Rodgers has been urging his players to shoot more often. The idea will be to have shots when chances are created

    Explains Carsile
    I'd love to read that notebook he is always writing in and see does it explain anything.

    This is a new phenomenon, the thread is suffering from a reverse meltdown Monday.

    The team won at the weekend, the natives are restless.

    What about him? Do you think you can just start calling people liars, get called out on it and then move to the next question? Your'e a sh*t stirrer who latches on to posters who can put their point across better than you.

    I don't latch on to anybody on here I'm afraid. But you and your friends stick to your "hilarious" comments trying to take the piss out of me.

    I'm pretty sure this is wrong. You're getting your data from transfermarkt? I wouldn't trust them to have a full account of Sturridge's injuries when he was a younger, less relevant player. I remember at the time Liverpool signed him, one of the doubts surrounding him was his injury record. That wouldn't have been the case if he only missed 6 weeks in four years.

    I also remember that last season Rodgers essentially admitted that he was injury prone and can't be relied upon. He has had several problems throughout his career with one of his thighs iirc.

    Well if you can prove otherwise then my proof stands simple as that

    I have shown why I think the way I do and I have backed myself up on my (probably) crazy statement

    Rodgers said he cant be relied upon because last year he was missing so much. Not talking about his whole career.

    He has had problems over the years (the last 3 to be exact) in his angles mostly which have affected his thighs...........

    He has not had long term injuries before last year and that is a fact not a suggestion or opinion.


    Surely one season isnt a case for being injury prone?? But tomato potato

    More from the Tony Barrett web chat:
    If Liverpool do decide to make a change, then they should talk to Klopp at the very least. John Henry was an admirer when he took over. The suggestions are that Liverpool wouldn't pursue Klopp if Rodgers does go. I can't work it out as it smacks of arrogance. Klopp is willing to talk to Liverpool, a club which has finished outside of top 4 in 5 of last 6 seasons. It's not as if Liverpool will have their pick of elite managers
    agree that Rodgers has to take the criticism as it goes with the territory, the salary & profile. It wasn't so long ago that he was hailed as a tactical genius, so now critics have gone other way, Rodgers has to accept it

    In 9th position in February and had a good end of season run to finish 7th, one place above where Dalglish finished.

    If someone is going to make a statement I fully expect them to stand by it. Something that poster continously fails to do.

    You display remarkable hubris on here. Are you like this in real life also? Genuine question.

    "I am the same guy who nearly won us the league, but better looking "I think I have shown in the early stages of my management -- without being arrogant -- that with a talented group of players I can compete at the top end of the league. I know how to manage top players. If you give me the tools, I'll do the work, trouble is we've signed some tools''



    "There are very short memories in football," Rodgers said. "The team was eighth when I got here. We built a team to excite people throughout European football, that should have won the league, but for banana man and his slipadee do daa ''



    "All the good work gets forgotten. That's how it works. It seems the focus has not been on what's gone on and what we've been missing, but more about getting me out of the club. That's sad."

    Progression is success. He progressed the team. The cups please ffs if he won the League cup which Kenny did youd still have an element here saying he isnt the right man for the job and the League cup means nothing.

    We didnt exactly look great in Europe with Kenny either by the way

    Rodgers statement:
    He is completely right to talk like that. People having a go are just annoyed he still has a job and could do well.

    I wonder how much of that 300 million was spent on players he didn't want? Plus how do we know he didn't want Sturridge? More sh1t talk from the anti crowed? Same people that claim Sakho was unwanted despite new contract and captainsy last week?

    As for Mata:
    Mata was not wanted by Jose and isn't rated in Spain at all. Coutinho on the other hand could go to Barca or Real. Mate is/was all hype and although talented is not as good as Coutinho. Although he is a better finisher he has less pace and he is more one dimensional with his runs. Coutinhos passing is more expansive and despite his new found greed he has a good long strike.

    Mata was never the player United fans claim he was. He isn't even a number 10. He is number 2 (sh1t) striker who plays deep because he isn't good enough up front. Basically the Spanish Rooney. If Spain have a fit side Mata doesn't get called up let alone play.

    Clyne:
    Haha give me a break. The united fella better? When? When United signed him he was better? Surely wasn't the day before. Clyne is younger faster and great going forward and defensively. Clyne is a one of the best RB's in the league (Top 3/4 anyway. Coleman is number one the last couple years)


    It's amazing how someone can be so wrong and oblivious to the fact they are so wrong

    If Mata's main slight is that he can't displace David Silva in the Spanish team(Liverpool fans seem to cling to this whenever this debate comes up) who is the benchmark for that type of player then he is doing well, Coutinho has more pace than Mata but it means very little when Mata's output is so higher

    Its all speculation to be fair. No one at the club actually ruled him in or out its just paper talk.

    Klopp would be a kinda experienced version of Brendan though, where Anchelotti would be a different direction. Going for the Italian might be a statement that they want to go with the tried and tested and give experience a chance to take the club forward.

    As long as it was a big name I wouldnt mind if Brendan was to be replaced

    So after one victory, Liverpool manager Rodgers thinks it's okay to have a go at his critics and forget about being humble? Or is this surely the voice of a broken man who knows he's a gonner?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:02


    Tony Barrett:
    Afternoon Mike,
    I have no problem with managers saying what they think, although I do think Rodgers would have been better waiting for a winning run before going on the offensive rather than doing it after a 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
    It suggested to me that he is feeling the pressure, which he is entitled to do, and I also got the impression that he was trying to create a siege mentality. When you do that, though, you have to win your next big game or else your critics will just up the ante so it ws a big gamble/mad risk considering Liverpool's next big game is the Merseyside derby.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:04


    Comment From Shaun
    "If you give me the tools, I’ll do the work.” A poor worker always blames his tools, after spending close to £300m during his reign, after spending £32.5m on Benteke, he still relies on Sturridge to get him out of a mess! I like many have had enough of Rodgers, fans are on his back over relegation form over the 15 games prior to Villa win. Just because there are former players in the media, doesn't mean they have to back you unconditionally. Souness & Carragher didn't suffer fools lightly in their playing days, why should they spare the current manager of criticism when they see him doing things wrong? Klopp's agent is dangling him in front of FSG, he fits their preferred head coach model , I really can't see how FSG can resist much longer
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:05


    Tony Barrett:
    Hello Shaun,
    I think that comment/question is longer than my match report from Saturday, which isn't saying a great deal admittedly. I'll take Rodgers first. I agree that he has to take criticism. It goes with the territory, the salary and the profile. It wasn't so long ago that the critics were hailing him a tactical genius so if they've now gone the other way he has to accept it. Where I do have some sympathy with him is I think the scrutiny Liverpool are constantly under is extraordinary and when things are going badly he must feel like he's under attack.
    On Klopp, if Liverpool do decide to make a change then they should talk to him at the very, very least. John W Henry was an admirer of his when he first took over Liverpool but the suggestions are that they wouldn't pursue him if Rodgers does go. I can't work that one out and it smacks of arrogance. If a double Bundesliga manager is willing to talk to a club which has finished outside the top four in five of the last six seasons then they have a duty to hear what he has to say. It's not as if Liverpool will have their pick of elite managers..

    Comment From Pam Nash
    Hi Tony, thanks for the webchat. If there was a time for Rodgers to congratualte his players and then shut up, this weekend was it. But no he, as usual, had verbal diarrhoea and instead of being about a match well won by Liverpool the focus is all on Rodgers. It's lunacy, is there no-one at Liverpool to advise him on PR?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:12


    Tony Barrett:
    Hello Pam.
    When it comes down to it, managers can be given the best PR advice going but if there's something they want to get off their chest they tend to take no notice. I've seen it countless times. I agree with you though, Rodgers would have been much better enjoying he victory, praising the players who made it possible and keeping the spotlight off himself.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:14

    Comment From Hugh F
    Hello, Tony. Even though Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3-2 two days ago, it wasn't an absolute convincing victory in a broader context when it could've prevail by at least two goals rather than one goal. So, it doesn't look like Brendan Rodgers is totally safe at this moment. Personally, with constant rumors of his job status, I think the key date is October 4th, because the baseball regular season ends for the Boston Red Sox (FSG owns the baseball club), thus freeing up time for John H. Henry in reevaluating Rodgers and maybe the football club afterwards - at least in logical theory. Is it a fair analysis or observation?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:17

    Tony Barrett:
    The point about the baseball season is a good one Hugh (it's also one that I hadn't considered). The last thing an under pressure manager needs is owners with additional time on their hands.
    I don't think John W Henry is the pivotal figure in this that he once was though. Of everyone at FSG, Mike Gordon's influence is now strongest and he's been playing a hands on role for some time.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:18


    Comment From Tom
    Hi Tony, thanks for doing this Webchat. Is there truth to the rumors that Rodgers is being protected by Ian Ayre and Mike Gordon? I can't believe that JWH and Werner would be stopped from ending someones contract if they really wanted them out.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:19


    Tony Barrett:
    I don't think that's accurate Tom. At any stage, owners and executives will hold different views but there's nothing to suggest there's any kind of split.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:20

    Comment From simon k
    Tony, is Hysteria, playing a weakened team against Madrid, thus marginalising the players that got you into that competition, not qualifying from a poor CL group, losing 3 of your best players in two seasons, losing 6-1 to Stoke, and blowing the best part of £300 million? Oh, and not having a keeper fit for purpose? And letting your captain walk out of the door?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:21


    Tony Barrett:
    Hello Simon,
    I'm not sure that's hysteria but I take your point. I look at it very simply (it's the only way of which I'm capable) - if Liverpool aren't playing well and results are poor, then heightened scrutiny is absolutely inevitable. The manager, whoever he may be, has to accept that because it goes hand in hand with being manager of one of the world's biggest and most newsworthy clubs. It's also one of the reasons why they get paid millions of Pounds for doing the job.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:24

    Comment From Simon
    Hi Tony. Instead of blaming Rodgers, don't Liverpool fans need to accept they are where they are due to decades of mismanagement at board level? Be it the stadium, training ground or commercial expansion, Liverpool sat on their arse for years and are now stuck in permanent decline. They've the squad, infrastructure to finish fifth or sixth and that's what they'll likely do.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:24


    Tony Barrett:
    Hello Simon,
    I wrote something on this very subject last week, For all the criticism that Rodgers has been getting, much of it justified, Liverpool as a club are not creating the conditions for success. They don't sign elite players and they allow the ones they have to leave. They prioritize potential over experience and then wonder why they have no leaders. You could go on and on. At some point, the penny will drop and there'll be a realization that the whole club is struggling to be the best that it can be and it's not just down to the manager.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:27

    Comment From Jimy
    If Liverpool beat Everton and find themselves top 5 or so - is Rodgers seriously in any danger after 8 games?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:27

    Tony Barrett:
    This is another area where I find myself having sympathy with Rodgers. Everyone is viewing the derby as the game that could prove the final straw for him (a not unreasonable position given the way Liverpool have been playing) but what if Liverpool win? Would that mean the pressure he came under was premature and excessive? I'm not sure it would but it would give him the opportunity to denounce those who called for his head, which given what he said after the Villa game, he'd probably take.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:30

    Comment From Gaf
    Should FSG revise their expectations. You invest into young promising players and a up and coming manager. Both are inexperienced and inconsistent. How can you expect consistent performance that guarantees CL and a title challenge?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:39


    Tony Barrett:
    I agree with that to an extent Gaf, but I don't think Liverpool can afford to lower their expectations to the point where success and top four finishes are not demanded. Once that happens the game really will be up.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:40

    Comment From Gaf
    If you were FSG, what would you do with Rodgers?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:40

    Tony Barrett:
    I'd see what happens in the derby against Everton and then look at things if necessary. Luckily for Liverpool, I'm not a multi-millionaire with a hedge fund so they don't need to take my views into account.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:42

    Comment From Ray
    How do you think Rodger's comments in the press this morning will have been viewed / received in Boston?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:42

    Tony Barrett:
    I'd imagine the comments about "tools" will have been the ones that impressed FSG least.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:42

    Comment From Matt
    Rodgers references to the hysteria around LFC at the moment, and something came to mind...thenoise about Bentekes offside goal against Bournemouth versus the relative silence around 3 offside goals in the Spurs v City game. I know LFC are newsworthy but the difference in reporting and reaction in those 2 games tells a stoiry doesnt it?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:43


    Tony Barrett:
    As someone who covers Liverpool for a living I'm acutely aware of the scale of the attention that they get in comparison to other clubs. But it works for them as well as against them. A club which commands so much media interest is in a position to exploit it commercially. Also, as Man City fans have pointed out, the attention that Liverpool got during the title challenge of 2013/14 far exceeded the attention that their own club received even though they ended up winning it. In that respect, Liverpool have to take the rough with the smooth.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:46

    Comment From Rory
    Gary Mac and Rodgers were pleased with 47 shots against Carlisle. Does this not just indicate a lack of ideas. "Shoot from anywhere lads."
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:46


    Tony Barrett:
    I don't think that's any more than accentuating the positives to be fair Rory. Rodgers has been urging his players to shoot more often but I doubt he will have been thrilled by what happened against Carlisle. The idea will be to have shots when chances are created, not to take pot shots over and over again because you've run out of ideas.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:48

    Comment From VJ
    Hi Tony, do you think the common view in this in country that managers should be given time to succeed is foolish? I can't remember anyone having 3+ years of building and then becoming successful. If anything the european model of changing managers every 2-3 years seems to provide more success. what are your thoughts?
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:48


    Tony Barrett:
    I was talking about this very issue to a good friend of mine recently VJ. There's no chance that a manager could do what Howard Kendall did in the mid-80s, going to the brink and then being a misplaced backpass away from losing your job before an incredible renaissance takes place. It just isn't happening. Money has killed that and we now live in an age of instant gratification.
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:50

    Comment From Matt
    Surely if FSG want to invest in potential, both playing and managerial, then they should be prepared for ups and downs and time to settle evenything in.How long that is I dont know, but certaoinly players like Markovic, Can, Moreno etc could need a couple of seasons - look at Erik Lamela as someone who now seems to get it 2 seasons into his time at Spurs
    Monday September 28, 2015 12:50

    Tony Barrett:
    I don't disagree with that Matt. The problem with that strategy for me is that if you're going to sign players for the future you can't forget that you also need players for now and I think Liverpool have been guilty of that in recent years.

    As another poster said there probably is little point comparing players

    I know I have added to the debate but It was silly top get involved. I know that Mata is a decent player and I do like him as a player. My whole point is that I dont think Mata would displace Coutinho at Liverpool because they do offer different things (while doing the same job imo) and thats a whole different debate. I dont think Mata could do what Coutinho does at Liverpool but I do feel Coutinho could do Mata's job at United.

    You may think the opposite and I may be wrong. It happens. Its happened before it will happen again.

    see while "lie" may not be the correct term to use, manipulate is certainly the right one.

    You set the parameters to suit your argument.

    Your argument also means nothing.

    Fact is kid that we are 2 points off 4th 5 off 1st and we are still in all comps having already played 2 of our rivals for a top 4 spot away already

    Playing turgid football and using up vast reserves of luck. Arsenal had a good goal taken away, that would have been a loss. We score an offside goal against Bmouth, after getting away with them having a goal disallowed for nothing. That would have been a loss. Without poor officiating we'd be a lot lower down the table.

    Well sample sizes and manipulation of facts seem fine for others..............

    Brendan topped his group and went out on away goals.

    Brendan also plays far better football than previous

    there is nothing that annoys me more in the Rodgers debate than making up shít to suit the argument.

    Rodgers is a very good coach. that's pretty much irrefutable tbh. Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling and Henderson all improved under him. whether they would have been on an upward trajectory regardless is almost an impossible one to answer, but they did all improve while he has been coaching.

    i believe it's time he was let go because in my opinion he has now proven that he cannot manage the team to the appropriate level. he's been found wanting tactically far too often. he can't juggle personnel in the team effectively, without it having a bad effect on results. he's been found wanting when we have to play 3 games in 8/9 days. he's never been able to organise the defence properly.

    there are enough other things to beat him with. you don't need to say he's a bad coach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭duffman13

    He said he'd a soft spot for Liverpool, a lot of people have a second team. Instead of the constant potshots why don't you just answer or ignore. Some of your points actually make a little sense however the posting style of a five year old at times is what derails this thread.

    if he won the League cup which Kenny did youd still have an element here saying he isnt the right man for the job and the League cup means nothing.
    If he won a cup people couldn't say he's won nothing.

    We didnt exactly look great in Europe with Kenny either by the way
    I agree but Rodgers has shown absolutely no acumen to European football.

    He said he'd a soft spot for Liverpool, a lot of people have a second team. Instead of the constant potshots why don't you just answer or ignore. Some of your points actually make a little sense however the posting style of a five year old at times is what derails this thread.

    I have a soft spot for Rangers, I wouldn't go into their thread and constantly refer to them as "we". That's my issue.

    Progressing from 8th to 7th is a successful season for Liverpool??

    I have alluded to the fact that the most successful part of his first season was the off field stuff as well as the development of the style of football we saw.

    There was a progression and while I accept its not anything to cheer about, I feel it must be commended as some people talk about that year as a failure for Rodgers.

    Again I enjoy the cups always have. But if he wins the league cup this year the same posters will want him out at the end of the year

    Yet he topped the group in his first season and has an away draw against the other "big team" in the group this year while "rotating" players

    Must say I agree with this

    I like Celtic, Barca, Bayern and Juve but the ONLY WE is Liverpool

    Can we add parody to the title of this thread?
