I had a good feeling about Rodgers from his appointment. I find t hard to explain why in words. Progress has been slow and there have been concerns and setbacks but slowly the trajectory is upwards and I have the feeling we are building. Building what? A mindset and culture we are seeing evidence of that with improvement in some players for the first time in a long time we are making the best of what we have rather than buying high and then moving them on at a loss. Not comparing him to shankly but there are similaritiies to what went on in the sixties. But the big test fr Brendan will, come if FSG back him big in the summer how many times have we seen managers rafa houllier dalglish blow money on big but wasteful signings that ultimately cost them their jobs. This is the test and interesting whether he will spend on a few stars or continue FSG policy of young players. But so far I am comfortable with the way things are going.

He will only get the money to spend in the summer if he finishes above 8th, otherwise he will have to be sacked as was the case with Dalglish.

I see he is still more interested in gardening after yesterday's game, something about growing a group....tomatoes?

think he has been good and bad Stanley, the team is playing a bit more attractive football, we are winning more games at home and some of the players have improved a bit, the bad parts are I think he has a defeatist attitude as proved in the Cups, he blames players rather than himself for mistakes and seems to be a bit of a yes man to FSG so overall good and bad for me...

No he wont, that's just your opinion.

He needs to be given a fair crack of the whip and the same backing in the transfer market as KD got, but that's only my opinion.

I love the attacking style we're playing now but i fear for us at the back. We look like conceding all the time. Don't know the answer but we need to find it if we are to climb the table.

It is good and bad cool flames but for those us of old enough so it was with shankly too to repeat in no way am I saying he is the new shankly just pointing out how things can pan out.

Now Stan you know fine well that you are not allowed to have any hope for the future.

Accept we are a mid-table club and get on with your business wink

fair points stanley but I can't ever remember Shanks having a defeatist attitude towards the Cups like this feller. I don't see any reason to field anymore weak teams in the Europa now as we are out of the F.A.Cup so I am fully expecting the full hit in the Cup from now until the end of the season, already looking forward to his team selection against Zenit...

The cups meant for more than today. I remember as a kid the whole country stopped for the fa cup final now it much devalued. Likewise te fairs cup now the Europa was a massive completion. If shanks was in charge today I am confident it would be the champions league he would be focussing on
