once and for all lets get it out there .
rodgers to stay as manager like i believe he should he should be as i think he will get it better .
or he gets the sack now come on no messing about lets be truthful . in the past few weeks you seem to have started a thread straight after results that upset you, asking if BR is making progress or if we should sack him. i agree with alot of what you say normally but this trend is different to what you normally post.

It's hardly a good time to be raising issues about sacking or not sacking our manager in the middle of a season, it's just silly stuff. As fans we should be supporting our manager at this time, given that he's done well with two thirds of a full squad to keep us in contention for that 4th spot.
We're playing football the liverpool way again, and if FSG will finance the signing of a few quality players for the obvious positions in the summer window, we'll have every chance of competing with the best come next season, so why start this kind of discussion at this point?

The quality of our squad says we should finish the season within a point or two of 4th, maybe even snatch it ourselves. 6th would be 'ok' as long as weren't too far away from
4th/5th in terms of points - and it would be an improvement on ast year. 7th, 8th or 9th and there must be serious questions as to BR's capabilities. You're right Car, but I'm reluctant to be too critical with the shambolic player mess he found himself with. As you pertained to and what the table is pointing too, there will probably only be a couple of points between maybe 5 th and 7th which taking into account he quite clearly hasn't had anywhere near the freedom to bring in players that previous managers have deserves him some licence. Talk of any removal though now (as other's have said) is ridiculous talk as Faz is yet again in Mr defensive mode for a manager up to now who has done very little to warrant it. He's making steady progress which is positive not one the championship and is subsequently having a bad second season!

A lot is made of the shambolic squad he inherited, but......he still had enrique, johnson, agger, skrtel, carragher, reina, lucas, henderson, gerrard, suarez, sterling, suso, downing....
My point is, our best players are still those that he inherited. BR has spent plenty of money, and Sturridge aside, his players have added zilch to the squad....
Assaidi
Borini
Allen
Yesil
Sahin
..he has spent a lot of money improving our B team from all I can see, which is why we aren't doing any better this year than we were in 2011/12. Not sure BR deserves too much credit for inheriting kenny's team and taking them from 8th to 7th, and doing very little else apart from getting knocked out of both cups.

Can't believe you've included Yesil in... He's been injured for about 3 months. Only started his first game for the reserves a month ago and has about 3 or 4 goals in around the same amount of games. For what we paid for him Yesil is a fantastic talent.

I can't believe he doesn't consider the Hendominator as shambolic.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Hendo has been one of our top performers in the last couple of months.. No doubt his love / hate relationship with Hendo is still clouded by the affair Hendo had with his wife

You think that Henderson is one of the better players? He has taken players who were playing poorly and will more than likely finish far better than we did last season. Yesil is a youth player similar to the likes of Teixeira or Sterling a few years back. Of the players you mentioned, Enrique, Reina, Henderson and Downing were all playing very poorly by the end of last season. Sterling and Suso (who you also don't rate) had barely played. He also lost Maxi, Kuyt and Bellamy so the squad he had was very threadbare as I'm sure you'll admit. I am taking this post with a pinch of salt because I think you are naming players to suit your agenda by including the likes of Henderson and Suso who you are very vocal about their abilities as his best players. A good coach can entice the best out of players which BR is doing a far better job than Kenny was.

You're dissecting this too much. I'll simplify it. Brendan's 1st team contains virtually the same players as Kenny's 1st team. Brendan has us 1 place higher in the league but out of 2 cups. All I am saying is that he's getting credit for doing no better a job than kenny (who was rightfully sacked), with more or less the same players.

A good coach can entice the best out of players which BR is doing a far better job than Kenny was. To say he is getting the best out of certain players is very subjective though. The evidence lies in our league/cup positions. If he is getting so much more from the players why aren't we doing better than under Kenny?
