Correct !! wink So what does it imply if Rodgers makes the 50+ odd points mark??? Beating KK's 52 and Rafa's 58 ???

It means progress and doing a better job than those previous 2 totals with far less players in terms of both quality and quantity...

Progress is progress and should be applauded if achieved...

I would say that the team rodgson took over was no worse than what rafa had when he took over. The only reason there are more teams above us is because of Dalglish's incompetence - it's not entirely down to the quality of the squad.

Dont know what you are talking about, worst squad since 1950, what are you on. About the same squad without Allen and Borini and Steven G and Leiva for about half a season but with ageing Kuyt and Maxi just went to 2 cup finals winning one. That same squad came 8th in the league and we all agreed that KD underachieved. BR has at least the 6th best squad of the league so can't see how this is the worst squad since 1950.

Just because the manager has coached some really poor results from the squad, it doesn't mean that the players are poor.

We have what? 16 players in out of 25 which were eligible for compeition...

Lost the likes of Bellamy, Kuyt, Maxi, Aurellio and to a lesser extent Aquallani!

Kids in their rookie Season cannot be compared to them in terms of Quality!!!

Worst squad in the last 10 years. Defo I'd say.

Are you saying then that our squad last season was better than this season? If that is the case, then it would mean that we have wrongly invested about 40m (or about 30m net spent if you prefer)

We'd just one striker for half a season. I've never heard of that in non league, haha! Never mind a club our size. He lost Maxi, Beller's, Kuyt, in one window, Carroll too. Replaced with Suso, Striling, Borini. Rodgers has managed to even get Downing performing .... bloody Miracle!

It's not only the weakest squad I can remember, we were in the worst mess off the pitch, sacking a club legend after winning a cup. Messy mixed feelings and split camps right across the board. Fans going mental all over the place about where we were going ...

No I agree, I think they have backed Rodgers, just sparingly and in good measure while trying to manage costs. Nothing wrong with that, and it was needed. Think it won't be until the summer when we see some big signings, which I'd be happier with. Nice steady progress in my eyes!

We supposedly had the money for Sturridge in the Summer... So that signing was like playing catchup imo.

Where's are Winter Investment? Thats backing smile
