Waste of time.....we dream of titles and trophies But the manager who gave due importance to trophies (cups) taking us to 2 finals winning one was sacked by owners who only wanted the bucks of Champions league. Would like to see their faces right now, no champions league, no cups no nothing. they never said that Champions League was the expectation for this season though? Thats the same manager who gave us our worst league performance in however long? So you feel we are better off this season than last then? I assume that the cup runs meant nothing to you then. I do feel we are better off this season and feel that we are improving rather than dis-improving like last season the cup runs were good but were not a justification for keeping an underperforming manager. Birmingham won the Carling Cup the year before and were relegated. Was that a successful season?

Waste of time.....we dream of titles and trophies noy under Rodgers we don't, he doesn't want to win cups as he doesn't take the serious, he fields weak teams and treats all cup competitions with contempt, he sees them as a distraction in our quest for 7th place each season in the league. If all you fans accept that from a Liverpool manager then continue to back him...

I assume that the cup runs meant nothing to you then. not my money but it pains me to think we spend 100m to finish in the position we did. i dont think one small cup makes up for the amount wasted on players and low league position. that was our time to spend and close the gap between us and city, chelsea etc

But we helped up the GNP that year though! Always some positives to find inside every failure, isn't it?

KD underperformed in the league but not in the cups, fact. Now let's assume that overall he underperformed and was rightly sacked, then what would you say to this season's performance? It's worse, unless of course we go and win the Europa league.

How are we better off than last season, please enlighten me? Last season at this point in time we were still in the cup competitions and still in the top 4 battle (until the Arsenal home game on the 3rd of March). This year we are still in one cup competition, holding by the thread. Now if you think we are better off, i am very happy for you, you must be delighted with our season so far.

Going by the league we are better off than this time last year and all before the collapse that happened. We are playing better football and have improved throughout the year.
I am possibly looking at it through retrospective glasses so it seems that we are better off in the league than we actually are but I don't think anyone expects a collapse similar to last season again and expect to see an improvement on last year.
as regards the cup competitions, we won one which is great but it only papered over the cracks in a small way.
I am not delighted with the season but I can see progress which is all that I expected for this season. I was always going to judge him on the second half of the season once his ideas and players had bedded in. Currently after 8 games we have got 14 points which is an improvement on the 9 we got at the start of the season. We got 25 in the first 19 games so I fully expect that to be beaten with ease as well as last years points total

i'm much more excited about this team, the way they play, the chances we create and the way the dominate games compared to last year.
since our signings in january i think our attack looks a little more complete and i think theres huge progress to be seen. home or away we're a match for anyone in the league.
to dimiss the manager after inheriting a very young, thin squad and not being able to see we are progressing is a very naive and fickle way of looking at things.
