Brendan Rodgers

[EwarWoo]

He clearly should have burned it in an oil drum. Wasn't it a present?

Apparently from disabled Swansea fans in recognition of his charitable contributions.

In that context I suppose its not that bad. Still not great though

It's taking a lot for me to resist making a joke on that one.....

In reality though, Brendan said after all of the signings last summer that now he had a squad to go challenge. And that that summer would be a one off in terms of player signings - suggesting that he had the squad he wanted and that any additions would be quality (replacements for departed first teamers like Gerrard Johnson etc when they leave the club) as opposed to quantity from 2015 onwards....

Now he is coming out with ****e like "we need more players this summer" and "we can challenge if I have the right tools"... What ****ing tools is he on about??? Because they let him spend 120m on tools last summer and he bought a load of rubber ****in hacksaws....

He's the ****in tool.

I was all for giving him another year but his quotes and comments are ****in pissing me right off now.

[EwarWoo]

He wasn't given a decent striker and that's the main tool we've been missing. We ended up having to gamble on Balo.

Good post until this bit right there.......
Getting back to Brendan, he has been brilliant at bringing through young players. He has been ****e at identifying and purchasing players. If I was FSG then I would talk to him, sign maybe Milner ings and konoplyanka for two thirds of **** all and another midfielder and a defender (and a striker if sterling is sold) and give him another season. Tell him the priority is the league and the cups are to be used to develop Rossiter, Sinclair, ojo, teixeria if he gets over his injury and Harry Wilson. See how Brendan gets on with that.....

Having a strike force of Sturridge, Ings and Origi would not fill anyone with hope. Sturridge cannot be relied on, Origi and Ings are young and very inexperienced at this level. We need them and a world class striker who will instantly add goals. Thats where our problem has been all season.

Let's just get someone better with the media. As long as they tell the truth all season long and refuse to answer awkward loaded questions the fans will be happy.

I've fixed that number for you.

Lambert, Balotelli, Lovern - 45m
Can, Markovic, Moreno, Lallana - 71m

120m is a nice soundbite, I'll admit, but no way they are all failures.

[Tee]

How on earth anyone can see Moreno as anything other than a failure this season is beyond me.

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon only Lallana and Can have been decent for us. We should have spent £50m on Benzema or someone like that.

[Tee]

For me Can, Lallana and Markovic have been good additions even if we overpaid for the latter two. The others have it all to prove next season, if they are still here that is.

[Marvel]

@DaveHendrick_AI 12/13 Klopp spent 23m recouped 29m came second. 13/14 46m spent 41m recoup came second. 14/15 sit 9th 58m spent 4m back.

[Dalglish]

A lot of people seemingly giving Rodgers a free pass for suggesting that 5th is where we should be in the league. Imagine the stick The Bodge would have gotten were he dare suggest such a thing.

Lowering expectations. Shouldn't be acceptable irrespective of who the manager is.

Rodgers is playing a dangerous game here.

No one can do a better job than me at Liverpool - unless owners splash the cash, insists Roy Hodgson
"Because basically speaking unless there is a major inflow of cash into the club and the team is going to be changed from one moment to the next then whoever takes my place will be doing a similar job with similar players. The owners have made it perfectly clear they are in it for the long term and they are going to be patient. They realise it is going to take time."

[Dalglish]

Also, thank goodness Rodgers didn't mock Spurs earlier this season for spending £100m and not challenging for the title

****ing buffoon. That was such ****e yesterday.

Truly dark days those.
