I think Brendan Rodgers could well be he man for us ,but this building process takes a long time ,will he get that time ?
Top flight soccer is more of a circus these days than an institution or an ethos.
It involves players doing what their asked not what they want ,this seems an obvious bridge too far for
some of our current squad, some of whom can't seem to gather and deliver the simplest of passes
and seem to more enjoy chasing the ball as the underdog rather than controlling it and being constructive.
We have consistently given the ball away all season, outplayed be lesser mortals on many many occasions
and it's not like we dominate others physically either despite efforts. When against the big boys we 'up' our game
thus fulfilling the underdog role ,but against the rest we were out played and out fought and out manoeuvred too often.
Luck can't be blamed. Even a clown doesn't make such excuses.
We have gone for endeavour over class in many ways over many seasons signings and that is not going to suit
Brendan Rodgers style. So I think he would rather work with lesser mortals and mould their game than take on
the egos of Anfield and fight the dressing room to buy into his plan,which is easy said but extremely hard to fulfil.
Will he get the financial backing, I think he may have to clear out to get finance but his shrewdness in seeing potential
and bringing that talent on is where I see his genius.
I believe he would need serious time guaranteed.
Let's just take a look at the last perceived managerial disasters......the dressing room ,somewhat like Chelsea with A.V.B. ,
didn't truly get behind Roy Hodgeson(with a few bad signings thrown in) yet with lesser lights at West Brom he went on to an enjoyable season of good football trying to play pass and move because the squad bought into it and the talent there were open to learning and growing as a team, not the same ego battle he had on Merseyside.
No body fears coming to Anfield anymore really ,european nights aside we've lost our reputation,
even Fulham managed their first ever win at Anfield this year.
So how is Brendan Rodgers suppose to proceed.
If you can't teach an old dog new tricks, what's to be done with half our first team ?
These guys going out to play open football against the likes of Barcelona or Arsenal would quickly be found out
and the resultant slaughter would have Rodgers in the dock, so how is he to proceed ?
As it stands he does not have the players to play his style of football.
Do we really want to bring a knife to a gunfight ?
Our bunch of clowns need a ringmaster ! Crack the whip,cut out the lame acts, get the performances,
entertain the fans then take the bows at the all american circus.
