KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rodgers share your thoughts so far

Positives
- improvement in certain players
- shown a tactical awareness in games to change them to our benefit and to not wait until the 60min mark to do it
- his pressing game has started to bear fruit in recent weeks and the midfield look stronger than before
- removed a lot of deadwood and there seems to be a genuine hunger and competition in the squad as a whole
- bringing through several youth players and can see this bearing fruit in future and makes LFC an attractive proposition for talented youngsters
- enjoyable to watch

negatives
- some of his transfers haven't all worked out as yet but its more the money spent on some of them that I would have an issue with.
- sloppy in defence at times
- while there has been generally very good performances in the league, games like Villa and Stoke have shown us to be vulnerable at times to a physical team but the midfield does look stronger now.

Maxi agree the first of the negatives is a slight concern top managers like wenger and ferguson rarely sign bad players. The other two can easily be fixed and hopefully a new keeper and commanding centre half will arrive in the summer

All managers sign poor players at some point, its inevitable. Wenger has always had an eye for a superstar though which balanced it out. A good manager in the transfer market would probably get 3 out of every 5 transfers right or in and around that. I still have faith in the lads like Allen and Borini but they are both struggling at present.

what ever about allen, borini is a total waste of time. he'll slump back to italy on a big loss for us.

BR whole time here will be based on getting the proper keeper and centre half. 2 postions he hasn't even looked at yet.

Agreed those positions are crucial and I am sure he is looking at them for the summer

All managers do sign bad players but they mostly get it right as you have said

It's usually down to a few factors though, Wengers the most patient man in the world when it comes to transfers, Fergie bought the best striker in the league for 24m, not exactly rocket surgery.
Kawaga, De Gea, Jones and Smalling haven't exactly set the world alight.
I think the sign of a great manager is making the most of the players he has. Obviously it's too early to really judge BR, but he's getting the best out of Downing and Henderson lately despite obvioulsy not wanting them in the squad.

I think Rodgers has done a decent job , it is his first season

Lets see where we end up at the end of the season , we should be better than last season in the league standings

I know alot of people believe 4th position is gone but I think its still a possibility

Imagine a top 4 finish and perhaps a Europa Cup win ,that would make Rodgers a hero

Still 13 games to go , I can only see the team getting better so that is progress
