So not too late to hijack that Icelandic player's deal to Swansea then....?

I hope not, Sigurdsson is top notch.

Liverpool haven't played good flowing football for a quite some time, the Kenny 'pass and move' was non existent as IMO we just bought the wrong players.

Will be very interesting to see who Rogers goes after, i'm excited but wary. It is a big big gamble by FSG & i really hope they back Rogers & don't see him as a man that can work on a tight budget. If it's a case where FSG are going to give Rogers a small budget .... then IMO we're ****ed. Positions need to be addressed, FSG have made this decision and i hope they back it up with some funds.

Ajax, Barcelona, AZ and Bayern all owe something to van Gaal. If Liverpool do get him above/with Rodgers, he'd be a superb appointment.

My main concern is if we have more pretty football without the finish. We did play some good football with Kenny as well last season but we couldn't finish it off with goals.

I'm also waiting to see what other appointments we make, for me this is a package deal and whether or not I consider Rodgers to be a good appointment depends on the other appointments that go with this one.

Good luck Rodgers, I hope you can earn a place with the other Liverpool greats

Call me crazy ... but his career reminds me a little of the early Rafa years. An average player, starts out coaching underage at a big club, has mixed experiences coaching lower league sides before getting his first real crack at the big time. Rafa went on to win two league titles w/ Valencia. Let's hope Buck does the same here.

So hopefully us fans don't **** it up by chanting Rafa's name in the first 10 games if results aren't great...

I'll give it less than that before you hear whining from some corner of Anfield

I imagine the anti-Rodgers campaign is already recruiting members

Swansea play patient football like Barcelona. Pressing wise, they were high tempo, but passing, it's patient stuff and if you're not keen on the Barcelona/Bilbao model of play, then you're ****ed.

I'm intrigued to see how the ability to attract better calibre of players will improve our tempo with the ball. Swansea are the pass and probe kind of team. Unless the team is confident in passing quickly, they won't. It'll be a learning curve for him and the team.

I'm looking forward to intelligent and controlled football. One of my criticisms last year. In theory, Henderson, Lucas and Suarez should be in their element with him, possibly Downing. We shall see.

Welcome Brendan Rodgers! You are now leading my club, so I wish you nothing but success and great football! I hope you have an eye for creative players who can dominate possession and restore us to glory!

Also, happy that I have completely stumbled into a perfect abbreviated user name! Let my personal confusion reign!
