Yeah, will be keeping an eye on Thomas Frank as like how he set up his team to play to their strengths & be brave in their football regardless of who they play against.
Maybe a team like us or City is ceiling too high for him but would like to how he fares at a regular mid league club like West Ham or Spurs rather than top 6 straight from Brentford.

[Corndog]

Apparently he is quite analytics orientated in his approach to the game so maybe that would be a plus.

I have a feeling they also have done their recruitment very well there at Brentford and that in a few years, we will look back at their team now and see players still comfortably playing football week in week out at other prem sides.

Certainly Mbeumo is going to be poached if he keeps his form up, still only 22. Toney also as well probably.

[Bender]

As a really long shot i'd keep tabs on Thomas Frank but first choice would be Conte

Rodgers is a very good football manager.

To have achieved what he has by his age is really rare and he plays with a clear style in mind and to be fair he's proven at Leicester that he can build a very good squad over a few years, they've made some great signings and he can take some of the credit for that. If you read some of the quotes Gerrard and Suarez have said of him, it's clear he's very well thought of.

He was a whisker away from winning the league and a lot of people bat that away as if it was all down to Suarez. Without Brendan's insistence on changing the style or some of his signings, the team wouldn't have come that close e.g Sturridge, Allen, Toure etc.

He's good enough to manage a big 6 club again but I don't think it'd be good for either party to reunite again.

There are some really good managers around who could be interesting replacements for when Klopp leaves. Even those that might seem at the moment left of field, are worth keeping an eye on, e.g Thomas Frank, Hasenhuttel, Potter, Favre

Rogers is a good coach, not a good manager.

His people management isnt great. We would have won the league if we avoided defeat against chelsea. Rodgers ego wanted to beat his old master instead

[Kenneth]

That's not what happened at all. As we see so often now, they completely parked the bus and we couldn't break them down. Gerrard ****ed up and they scored an undeserved goal. Not the manager's fault at all. They got a second on the counter at the end when we were deseraptely piling forward.

I'm not sure how you can judge someone's man management effectively without working in the same organisation as them.

Most of the quotes from the top players in that squad do not align with your view.

In any case, he set up to dominate Chelsea because that's his philosophy and that is what got the team into a title challenging position in the first place.

And LFC did dominate them, only to lose to bad luck that turned the game on its head. That happens to each and every team every season.

We didn’t have to win this game though, just not lose. The team got sucker punched by going all out.

We were in good form, top of the league and at the climax of the title push, who's going to shrug and play for a draw in such circumstances? And we conceded due to a mistake, not because of our tactics.

I was at the Palace game. He was naive in trying to overturn City's GD when he just didn't need to

Should've played out a draw

[Kenneth]

And how would we have done that when we conceded on the stroke of half time because of an error?

[Norbs]

We were playing a high line trying to press for a goal. Had we played deeper then Gerrard's slip wouldn't have mattered

[ChesterDave]

That cunt Atkinson should have had his fingers broken in that game. Tapped at his watch half a dozen times in the first half added 2 minutes for it and finally booked a player for it 91inites in. Should have been down to 9 at HT if he had the balls to enforce the rules

[Norbs]

They were wasting time at 0-0 though which is precisely the point that Rodgers just didn't need to force the game

[Corndog]

But the team wouldn't have been in that position in the league if it wasn't for his approach to games.

The success of that team all year came from taking the game to the opponent and outscoring them, no matter who they were.

It was one of his strengths as a manager and he was the first on to do that consistently for a long while at Liverpool
