KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is Rodgson doing ok?

Do you think it was 150 mil well spent out of curiosity?

think u are over- reacting a bit.. some of the football is bordering on deadly, have to see if he can get the players in that will make us score more goals.

the downside is don't think he is great at transfers,
he is certainly not great at defending
and he talks some load of crap , its embarrassing and is very david brent.

i would say he is 50/50 atm. he could go either way. needs to make sure his next signings are class.

exactly, our fans would have hounded him out if we started so slow . he seems to have a proper balance tho. while BR is all weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lets attack...lambert's team seem clever.

Cant blame rogers for everything though carheex, you said yourself about the quality of henderson, then there is the mighty Andy Carrol,
Much of my assessment will depend on how he does in 2nd half of season:
A. IE dump gerard, cole, downing
B. What his signings actually do, ALLEN BORINI and anynew person he gets


I dont like BR with his organic farmer grow the group nonsense, its taking the fans for mugs BUT some of the football is good,
and liverpool was doomed to failure when they sacked KD without an ambitious replacement
BR is like RH, in that he will settle for twelth, maybe hes being realist. If he says to the media he can get 4th he's blowing it out his a55. My point is KD and COMMODO FEATURES and FSG have pretty much buggered lfc up, difficult job for the new man..

I'm not sure about 'deadly' football. What good teams have we beat this season? Pretty (ineffective) football doesn't win you games - BR has proven that. Dalglish also had us displaying style over substance so this isn't something BR has brought to the club. All BR has done is carried on with Kenny's poor work and made us even worse.

Not really. But even so, that's still no excuse for our position in the league. With the players we have, a half-decent manager should have us up around 5th or 6th. Why are we below norwich, swansea & west brom, who all have new managers? why are stoke, west ham & everton above us?

i think its obvious, those managers are coaching everyday, br doesnt have time as he is in his greenhouse 'growing the group'. Tomatoes, strawberries, turnips?

Those teams may have more points than us but you cant beat home-grown fruit and veg, i'd love to be at his house for christmas dinner.

They are not miles ahead of us though are they? Everton in 5th are 5 points ahead which is very catchable particularly if they lose Fellaini for any length of time. We are 1 win off 7th which is in and around where we have finished the last few seasons so not in the worst position imaginable.

Those teams are ahead of us for a number of reasons

1) we got off to a very poor start - Everton and West Brom got off to a great start

2) we have struggled for consistency to get a run of wins which we have done for the last few seasons. Norwich have done this and catapulted themselves up the table.

3) Poor performances have happened infrequently throughout the season but we have been punished in those games - Arsenal, West Brom and Aston Villa spring to mind.

4) we are in a rebuild season playing a completely different system with a limited squad and 1 senior striker.

The 150mil worth of players left us saddled with plenty of players that we couldn't shift and as a result are left with their wages on the books which restricts the management on all levels.

Can I ask a genuine question?
