I agree Car, it is too early to judge him either way.
But there is definitely a feel good factor developing and we haven't had that in a while.
I dont think he is going to accept mediocrity.

My point was that not much has changed in the team (apart from Allen and Borini) all the other players were at Anfield under Kenny and the majority also under Roy, however the style and passion with the same players is so much better under BR.
I think a large element of that is due to BR's personailty. We have a manager at last who does not run scared of the big names in the squad and is prepared to drop players if they are not up to scratch.
Kenny kept faith with Adam, Downing, Henderson and to a extent Carra when they were not up to the job, dropping them could have given them a short kick up the you no-where yet Kenny seemed afraid to drop them.
People may not like me saying this but in BR we have a manager in the mold of Fergie, if you are a player you will get support from BR but if you cross him them beware.
And that is the most positive aspect of BR.

It's only the 2nd premier league game and we always raise our level of play against the big boys. So let's not get too carried away.
However, there were several positives from the game like others have mentioned. I've got faith in Rodgers and I'm pretty optimistic for the future. But for now let's see where we stand come December. Then we'll know how much we've changed under Rodgers. Granted - but under hodgson and dalglish, whilst we might have 'tried' a bit harder, we just didn't have the quality or know-how to actually up our game. I'm no knee-jerk fan.......I won't have much to say about brendan until next year as the jury is still out as far as I'm concerened. All I will say is that it is crystal clear amongst players and fans a like that he's a breath of fresh air after a depressing few years. I can definitely agree with that.

I think it is still early days to make conclusions. I was also happy with the performance against City and without the defensive mistakes which I must admit I feared having watched the previous matches, we played well. After a dreadful match against WBA I expected the worst as many fans I suppose, thus the feel good factor. Now in the last seasons also we had good games and usually against good teams, we had very good draws against City and United at home and beat Chelsea and Arsenal away (playing well)+wins in the Cup against both Manchester teams. We even beat United 4-1 at OT (with Dalglish on his birthday, I remember fans singing Happy birthday, that was a great performance) in the season before last. But we know how it all ended. I am not getting too carried away yet but positive.

Anyone that thinks that we didn't play or try to play decent football under Kenny needs a belt of a wet fish. +1. Astonished with how selective people's memories are... but anyway, this is the Brendan Rodgers era, so that's what we should be focusing on Its incredible isn't it? How many times last did we say we played some fantastic football but didn't get the job done in terms of results? I can think of at least a dozen times. We played some good football under Kenny, there is not much difference yet, but there are signs that we are getting better at keeping and passing the ball around especially with the arrivals of Sahin and Allen.

Not very many at all. People's love for kenny convinced them that we were playing well and only lost because of 'bad luck'. Either that or they are getting confused with the end part of the 2010/11 season. In my opinion, the reality is that we weren't very good at all and any good performances were few and far between. We didn't finish 8th after a season of great football but bad luck. We threw away the lead, gave away soft goals, capitulated on several occasions, lost embarassingly to poor teams and were a disgrace at home. We were complete and utter rubbish - no 2 ways about it. And it comes as no surprise to me that the majority of kenny's signings are no longer a feature of the first team....
