It don't matter if you use FIFA metaphors to try and convince me how far off we are.lol The truth is I dont feel we are that far off. I feel we need more balls in periods of the game( guts) and a little bit more fire power wouldn't go a miss neither. Everybody's struggled this season which is good for us because we'd be further off if teams were not all beating each other. I agree with all of that - and glad you enjoyed the FIFA analogy!  We're not a million miles off where we realistically should be progress-wise, so why all the OTT reactions??

I'm passionate about my team. But it does not ruin my judgement. I know things will get there sooner or later but patience is not my best trait especially as I've been patient with a lot of previous managers. I also don't know if Rodgers will get the time he needs either.

I can't believe Rodgers went a whole interview without saying fantastic. Lol

He needs to be given the time to put his stamp on the team and bring in more of his own targets. If he fails, he fails, but we'll never know if he's not given a proper chance. I'm not one of these fans who thinks everything is gonna get solved by going through one or two managers every season.

Yea i agree we shouldnt swap managers too often.Well he needs to be backed by FSG with the right players. What I have noticed is he likes players he's managed before and there's nothing wrong with that if they are good enough for liverpool. Well have to see but I think it's always going to be a hard job for a liverpool manager to keep his job if we are not challenging as we saw with Kenny.... We should give him time but there has to be CLEAR signs of real progress for that to happen. Final table will define that I think.

Thought both teams very much cancelled each other out today. Sure, we had the better of the chances and arguably should have sunk one but a draw was a fair result. I think Brendan left it too late to change things today and that we were crying out for the creativity that Suso could have given us, especially with the poor performance of Gerrard today. Sterling looks a lot more comfortable cutting in from the left and I'm struggling to see what Assaidi has to do to deserve a league game on the right.

the problem in this game is the same as it has been since the start of the season. don't know why everyone is getting so worked up now.
we are going to have to wait until the january window for players who can put the ball away and another while for them to settle in.
he's taken a poor squad which was over aged, over paid and under performing. he's had to work on the cheap. he's put some of our younger players in the team and they've blended well in the main. barring the first few games this season we're in not a whole lot worse situation than last. considering the constraints he's under he's doing ok (he's far from a disaster), not great, just ok. it's his first term so it'll take a while.
it's worth noting that swansea have only lost once at home this season

it's worth noting that swansea have only lost once at home this season +1. Good sensible post. It's also worth noting that we've lost the same amount of games as the league leaders. Only Man City, Chelsea and Everton have lost less. It's clear we've drawn too many games, but we only have 1 striker!! And that one striker just happens to be the top scorer in the Premier League! He can't do it all by himself. He'll get help in January, I'm sure.

I understand the frustration of the fans - I'm just as frustrated myself, and I'm sure you are too, KP. What I don't understand is why some fans instantly spit their dummies out and fly off the handle straight into drama queen mode. I'm talking about grown men (I think!) acting like petulant little children. Some need a reality check, seriously!
