Stop the goals being conceded and make us hard to beat and BR will be a manager of LFC for years to come. . I expect us to be a lot tighter at the back next year. I wonder if our full backs are a bit too attacking though. Johnson is superb going forward but spends most of his time attacking and is often caught out. Same to a slightly lesser extent with Enrique. Has he? I'd say so. He said in his interview other day their main focus was keeping it tight at the back (after the Swansea game) and the fact he's changed the defence by dropping skrtel shows he wasn't happy. He's spoken a couple of times about the lack of leadership at the back

It will be the end of next season before we see where Rodgers is taking us, if we have had no improvement by then we probably won`t. We are certainly more of a force going forward than we have been for some time but defensively we are a mess. Experienced players making mistake after mistake and costing us vital goals. recently Carra cocked up ut Agger(especially on set plays) Skrtel and Reina have all been at fault numerous times, add to that Johnsons inability to stay awake when the balls near his box is frightening. This area above all others needs to be turned around, get us a solid back 4 plus a confident keeper and we have enough to get in the top 4 I don't think that it is a defenders' problem, we were quite decent at the back last year with the same players. I think the issue is more because of our system of possession up the field and building from the back. It can be that we need different defenders for the system that BR has put in place, then yes, it could be solved if we can find those players, but so is our mid-field, don't think that BR has found the right players there yet. We'll see, but I think the next few matches will already give us a good idea.

Firstly, hello everyone!
My first post on here, I've actually been following the forums for over a year now, but never actually got an account! So strangely, I feel like I know you all already! So hello to Faz, Flames, Stanley, bar and all the regular posters!
Last week I watched the game away at Zenit, watching us struggle to gain any authority on the game, away in Russia on a poorly maintained pitch. It was a strange moment for me, after watching The scum against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, I had the realisation we are not what we used to be?
As much as I try and be positive, glass half empty and all that- we simply are not the team we where. There is a reason Rafa,Hodgson, Kenny and now Rodgers are achieving a poor league position! Our mentality and squad are simply not what they where! It pains me to say it, but it's now an un-arguable fact.
It is just mad to assume every single one of the last four managers are all to blame? Maybe the incredible form of Gerrard and Torres managed to cover up the cracks emerging in the back ground at LFC?
Either way, we find ourselves in this situation. We are not a top four team, we are not what we where- and we have to deal with it!
I have massive faith in Rodgers, I believe many individual errors by some of our average players have really cost us this season. WE NEED TO BUILD FROM THE BOTTOM.
Rodgers has this process well under way,
* Majority of his signings have been superb
* Given younger players a chance to shine
* Every player performs better under him
I think this are all good foundations of a great manager, but he needs TIME to turn this around..
I just hope us, the fans give him that time. Thats comedy genius  Needs time? ask watford and reading supporters if he should be given time?In response to where we are at the moment,we have a TV show and owners who took longer to appoint a mascot then a 1st team coach,tells me everything.

Ask Swansea fans what they think of him?,he is doing a decent job for now,most managers and coaches struggle in jobs in their careers so I dont see what his time at at watford and Reading has to do with how he will fare out at Liverpool over time.

What?so in that case we should have gone for John Still from Barnet then if it matters not what a coach has done previously , it would have been cheaper.If you get time go on the main Swansea boards and you will get a real understanding of their views towards this manager.

Nah,I will give that a miss and the manager a chance to fail before I act like a whopper.
