I am stunned nobody agrees, but hey, I obviously don't fit into a majority. Can I just say, the title is about him, not necessarily just by his comments this week. I should have made that clear. He can be pessimistic and still predict a win. Considering we won 5-2 in our last meeting, and we have improved more than they have since then, 2-0 is like mineral water.
As for the rest of the comments, I am not an Allen hater. I think his form has dropped. But his form has dropped in a team that before the United game had won 5/7 in the league, and 7/9 in all competitions. For years under Rafa, Roy, Kenny, and even Gerard, we have called for a manager that can get results when we don't play to our best. Now we have one who has managed to get us there, and also managed to build a team that does beat those below us on a more consistent basis ( based on our last 10 games ) and you all feel the need to slate him, his tactics (which have brought about a better style of play than Rafa (who had the players and tactical nous but more unattractive style), Roy (who was a steady hand who neither pleased nor displeased with his playing style) or Kenny (whose end to last season was closer to an apocalypse). There is just no pleasing some people.
Before somebody says its just their opinion, I'd just like to suggest you look at the couple of games we have lost points in. I can't see a single reason to be jumping on Rodgers right now. If you're blaming him 6 months in and wanting to be negative around the club, team, manager etc. I would suggest picking up a set of cards and playing a game of patience.
