I don't agree with that one, why does a manager need 3 years, Kenny turned us around pretty much straight away when he took over from Hodgson. Rafa won the Champions League in his first season. This whole 3 year business is pure myth.

As to people saying we had the best young manager in the league, now they're saying it was down to Suarez, take him out the picture and we would have been in a similar position to Rodgers first season, probably where will be this season.

nah its just sh1te signings. if we had a pacy forward to replace sturridge then our crap defense wouldn't be under so much pressure. just signing lambo and balo seems to be a massive balls up-prob cost us champs league football unless dano comes back today and starts an immediate recovery.

Why was I so convinced? His complete lack of a track record. Totally underqualified to get the job. I couldnt get my head around it at the time. And then his bs, david brent like interviews, not to mention the signings, oh god the signings and people criticized Kenny's signings? Tactical naivity and a complete inability to organise a defence.

His backroom staff are abunch of nomads as well. Our chief scout played for Wrexham ffs, what do you expect?

We are Liverpool Football Club, so what is a youth team coach doing sitting at Bill Shankly's desk?

Rafa wasnt even interviewed and he is the best manager in the world FACT, NOT OPINION BUT ABSOLUTE fact. And we got this joker in instead!(he won the champions league with Djimi Traore, so dont even try to argue the best manager in the world claim). wink

Sorry rant over, Rodgers OUT.



This makes no sense whatsoever. Steadied the ship first season, we were one of the best sides second half of that season and took us from 7th to title contenders in his second season. Still way too early to judge this season, we could still realistically finish 3rd which I think would be a good season after losing Suarez. I'm not a fan of any of his signings apart from Sturridge but judging him purely on results nobody in the right mind can say he hasn't done a good job so far

It was in a huge mess when king kenny left the Carroll problem and a host of expensive misfits and directionless. We may just be going through a bad spell a win today will put so different perspective on it

We'll have money to spend too, I imagine more than Arsenal, possibly utd too given the amount they already spent. We've had an awful start and we're only 3 point off 4th and 4 off third. United and Arsenal are not great sides, we were far better than them both last season so I don't see why it is wildy optimistic to say we can finish above them. Based on the last 2 years I'm confident Rodgers can get the team playing well again, I don't want us to be like other teams and sack a manage after 1 poor run of form

Did well in the cups yes but the team was awful in the league and Dalglish's signings were as bad as Rodgers (apart from Suarez). I did say at the time Dalglish should have had another season though so you can tell I think managers should be given time, especially after what Rodgers did last season, he deserves it

I agree with you BR stills deserves more time, but if we are already out of the top 4 battle by Dec, I would start looking for options.
