Brendan Rodgers

[Mattshark]

Your wrong, I actually think he is a nice guy. Just out of his depth and not good enought for Liverpool. As far as expectations goes all I want is good performances and at least trying to get in the top 4. The latter is not happening.

Getting top four is unrealistic IMO. Our squad I no way near strong enough.

You have never wanted him as manager should I say then.

[marcus50bucks]

No you simply don't like him and have unrealistic expectations. You are clearly not willing to give him a chance.

It's not that at all. People have questioned Rodgers poor use of tactics and rightly so. He has made mistakes and only a dumbass and a Rodgers apologist will say Rodgers is blameless for the way we have underperformed.

I would rather say I always thought he was never good enough and lacked experience.

And tell me who you think is up for the job who isn't called Rafa Benitez?

I've yet to see anyone suggest a replacement across the web bar the name above.

Pellegrini.

Rodgers needs time but he has to show improvement both in players signed and results/performances garnered from the ones already here or he should be out on his ear.

I think we are pretty much performing at the level of our squad. We lack scorers, we lack midfield strength and we lack experienced players.

Pellegrini is a class manger, got utterly mistreated by Real

[Bender]

Useful as ever.

You're very quick to criticise the owners, moan constantly about us being mediocre, mid table not good enough etc and more than willing to voice this over and over and over again but unable or unwilling to offer some thoughts on a solution or your opinion of what we could or should do.

Criticism is fine as long as its constructive especially when it involves something you seemingly care about

oh yeah i always say the yanks are useless don't i

your quick to ban people

Rogers is going for a top 2 finish.

Rogers is going for a top 2 finish.

Yeah, in reality, we aren't.

Practically begging for the job when we chose Woy instead

Matt, have the likes if WBA, Stoke and Swansea got a better squad / team than us?

I think with the players we've got we shouldn't be shipping in goals at the alarming rate we have been doing. You can't just lay all blame on the players for shipping in two goals 13 times this season. We've never looked this bad defensively imo. You've got to look at the tactics and system being implemented. Look at Rafa, he developed us in stages as he realised we didn't have the players right away to play the system he wanted. This for me is what Rodgers should be doing. Clearly, if he had the players to fit his system we'd all be happy because it's a system that will work with quality players. I can see why he wants to do every thing straight away but it's obvious that he doesn't have the resources and will take two to three more windows to get it right.

For me Rodgers needs to go back to the basics and make us very difficult to beat and as he gradually brings in the players he sees fit he can then move the team forward to playing the systen he ultimately wants achieve achieve. At the moment we are all over the place when we don't have the ball. The lack of closing down as a unit is plain to see. Poor Lucas is being dragged every where. Having said all of that getting rid of him now is just stupid imo. I can definitely see what Rodgers is trying to achieve, he just needs to stop being so naive and tweak his system to suit the players he's got.

That's how it was reported but it's not what he said and I'm not convinced it's what he meant.

[Mattshark]

They are better in some ways yes. There isn't a huge difference, especially in terms of forward players where we are weak.

[tanner]

Yeah, in reality, we aren't.

Really?
