Our defending was abysmal pretty much for the entirety of his tenure, so I am not sure he can claim to be any sort of authority. He spent £100m and then switched to a formation that we didn't have any players to suit.
Anyway, he's old news. His return to the media is like bumping into someone you had an awful break up with. Even though we are not getting the results, on the whole I'd say our football has been better with Klopp, at least there seems to be a plan.

He made it out like the board had denied him the opportunity and maybe they did but I think the problem with Williams was that he was always going to cost an exorbitant fee well in excess of the level he was atOriginally posted by Buzzo View Post'...he's been very loyal to Swansea and stayed there'

He was talking about organising set pieces and how he did itOriginally posted by Chazza View Post
He also made a point about how making substitutions had affected our ability to defend corners and how when he was a manager the first thing a substitution would transmit to the rest of the team is the revised set piece instructions
I find the whole situation where Brendan is discussing us rather strange really his only successful season was when Suarez and Sturridge were on a different. Thats not to say he didnt have an input but hes not half dining out on that 12 monthsLeave a comment:

Honest assessment of ashley williams:
Fair play respect as he does give 100% every game and yeah we do need a character like him around but in terms of footballing ability, he's just below that level that is acceptable at a club like Liverpool. I think the fact that none of the bigger clubs have tried to bring him in says it all really.
In a sense he encompasses another one of BR's major fault in that he wasn't trying to build a winning side, more a competent premier league side.Leave a comment:

I think he would have been good at Liverpool. Great injury record, strong in the air, good tackler, good positioning and a leader.Leave a comment:

Says it all.....
Brendan Rodgers has lavished praise on Swansea captain Ashley Williams, admitting he tried to bring the 'incredible' centre back to Liverpool while he was manager.
Wales captain Williams scored the only goal of the game as Swansea beat Watford 1-0 in front of their new head coach Francesco Guidolin, but it was a former manager who was waxing lyrical about the player after the game.
'For me, he is a top, top centre half,' former Swansea boss Rodgers told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. 'Ashley is one that I've always felt could play at one of the very top clubs in the league, and he's been very loyal to Swansea and stayed there.
'He plays over 50 games a season every season, he can defend, he's strong, he can deal with all kinds of strikers. What makes him stand out is he's immaculate on the ball. For me, he's a massive, massive player for Swansea.
'I wanted to take him to Liverpool. It wasn't [really close]. He was one of those [rare] breeds - he's a leader, everyone is looking for leaders in the field. Tonight, the ball comes into the box, he's got his head on everything, every single game he's up for.
'He's got over 50 caps for Wales now - this is a guy who's up for every match he plays. I think he's an incredible player.'

Brendan pretty much admitted that in the interview. He said Suarez lifted everybody to a higher level and his play bred confidence in all his team mates. As soon as he left, it went.Originally posted by Harv View Post
Cant believe people even debate it. 2014 was Suarez. He was that ****ing good. If he hadn't been suspended at the start we'd have won the league easy.Leave a comment:
