Brendan Rodgers

I wouldn't mind.

But look at Swansea, they sign players that suit their system. They bring in Gomis who is basically a carbon copy of Bony but obviously a worse version. They sell Bony and their system remains the same because they have a similar player.

We just don't seem to have much a clue in the market. Do we want 442? 433? I reckon Rodgers just likes the idea of being able to play multiple formations & systems. It's ridiculous tbh.

I mean, this summer we are linked with Ings & Benteke. In what way are they similar? What is the idea behind it all? I know it could just be paper talk, but we seem to be linked with random players who suit random formations & systems.

Fully agree. 3rd season and he still doesnt know his best formation.

it's pretty shocking actually.

[DannyMan2006]

Even worse, he may know his preferred formation but fails to identify players who can play in it.

[danperkins]

Well this is the thing and we end up getting players not suited to whatever system we want to play & end up playing players in wrong positions all season to compensate for our failings.

[Fosterbloke]

I think I'll stand behind any decision that FSG make. Is ambivalent the right word?

Exactly. It's a joke tbh.

Our striker targets last season came down to a choice between Balo & Eto'o. In what way are they similar? How can it come down to a choice between those two? They're completely different players ffs.

I'm at that stage, but the more I discuss it, the more apparent the failings become and the more I want a change. I'll be honest, had I been Chairman he'd have been sacked months ago.

I know mate, I don't think anyone knows what in the flying **** our transfer strategy was. It really has cost us dearly.

Unforgivable IMO and someone has to be held accountable.

I'd prefer he goes, the way we've approached many games this season has been dire. I would love Rafa to return, but there are other good managers out there too.

As I've said since day one with Rodgers he's not the kind of manager I like. His so called 'style' has always mystified me. In his first 2 and a half seasons everyone was going on about his style, now we're just like 'what the ****?'. It's too long in my books to still have no clear plan and changing things from game to game. Formation, personnel, pressing, etc etc.

I give him his due and he's done well at times and is clearly a good manager. I just don't think he is what we need right now. I know things have gone off of the rails a bit, but the recent performances and defeats are unacceptable. It would be a bit harsh to get rid of him without another season, but it's a ruthless business and he hasn't shown he has what it takes to make things better consistently. After all the money he's splashed on substandard players I don't really fancy seeing him have another window.

For me the CL campaign was a complete embarrassment for the club. That was a group we should have comfortably finished second in bht we were outplayed in pretty much all of the games and the team for Madrid away that Rodgers put out was unforgivable.

We finally got back into the CL and it was treated as if it was an inconvenience. We are the 5 times European Champions and have the European badge of honour on our shirt . There was no honour in this season's campaign.

Also where he's got the best win % and goal scoring record, point being?
