Brendan knew what we were getting when signing him, and a £16m fee pales into insignificance compared with the remuneration package. But I still have faith in Mario, grant him a little more indulgence, I became obsessed by LFC whilst watching the 1974 FA Cup final against Newcastle and can safely say that none of our players have been slaughtered by fans as badly as him since then.
Remind me, how long has he been with us? Plenty of time for consultations with management in an effort to improve.
We have sent older players out on loan so they can increase their experience!

I would suspend people who come up with ridiculous articles like this.
Referring to people as 'so called fans' and questioning their support because their opinion differs to your own is very unintelligent and down right offensive, it would be just as idiotic for me to question your support on the grounds that you're Welsh.
For the record, I don't agree that Rodgers should be sacked but I feel that a lot of questions regarding his decision making need answering. Rodgers did well last year (better than anyone could expect) but he failed/is failing in too many managerial duties to be immune to criticism. He deserves to be criticized, but some of the stuff I am reading from our supporters is cringe. People calling him an idiot etc. If people can offer an intelligent argument why he should be criticized then I have no bother with that. What annoys me is after a few games into the season people calling for his head, calling him clueless etc. Then you have the totally clueless. The people who say Rodgers is an idiot because he should have signed Fabragas, costa, Reus etc. I feel he deserves a bit more respect for what he did last season. I also hate the stuff that is starting now. Oh Suarez carried him, he has been found out. If Suarez carried him so much then why could Dagelish not get the same out of Suarez as Rodgers did and why did we play so well without Suarez last season. I am not saying dalglish was not a big factor, but it was not all about him Well, under Dalglish's full season Suarez missed more than 10 games with bans and injuries, SG missed half a season and Sterling was a little kid. Those do make a difference.

All of the so called Liverpool fans wanting BR to be sacked.
What a silly lot you are.
Our best manager since Rafa, playing the best style of football since Paisley.
He has taken a club destroyed by Hicks and Gillet, Kenny, Woy and made us great again.
Liverpool fans are loyal, that goes for our loyalty to BR and a player who has been here only 2 months Mario Balotelli, now stop being such a silly bunch and support BR and Mario. Who the hell you think you are to call people who don't think that BR is a top manager, silly. He hasn't been able to sort out our defense for more than 2 season (in fact it got worse let alone improvement) and the huge difference with our attack is boiling down to one player, Suarez. If we had lost 4 of our best players like Southampton, I would have understood, but if it is only one player, to me it means that our great run was not really BR's making. Even Pardew had a great season 3 years back and Roy with Fulham, doesn't make them great, does it?

I wonder what it’s going to take for the penny to drop with some posters, and bring them to realise that it’s not Rodgers, it’s FSG and their recruitment and wage policy that’s killing us slowly. If you sign an apprentice you don’t get a fully qualified and competent tradesman. If you persist in buying loads of potentials you don’t have top quality players to put on the pitch. If you don’t have top quallty players to put on the pitch you’re going to struggle. If I could make it simpler for them I honestly would...perhaps something like this:
Since two + two will equal four,
And neither five nor three,
The heart of man has long been sore,
And long 'tis like to be!
(with apologies to A.E. Housman)
Now 2 + 2 = 4, and not anything else...ok? Good! Now if you buy a sow’s ear, you have a sow’s ear, and not a silk purse...ok? Good
Now when next you few ‘sack Rodgers' guys gaze upon our squad, remember; sow’s ear, and not silk purse, sow’s ear, and not silk purse, sow’s ear, and not silk purse...ok? You got it... Good

So Lallana at 25m is potential to you, or Lovren, a CB at 20m?

So Lallana at 25m is potential to you, or Lovren, a CB at 20m? Not to dismiss AF58 because there is a point there BUT... Lallana is playing to his price tag. Matta was more expensive. As for Loveren, there just isn't any world class CB's out there. If there was, even at a +30 Mil, they would have joined United. So on this basis, yes. Loveren is also playing to his price tag. We spent £14 Mil on Balotelli, again, we are getting a £14 Mil performance. BUT.... and this gets on my t1ts. We ALSO have another £14 Mil striker on the bench and BR will not play him. Remember the market dictates the price of a player and Sunderland offered £14 Mil for Borini. Not so much 'Sow's Ear' after the last transfer window (although it was up until then) but defo no silk purse on the pitch.

So Lallana at 25m is potential to you, or Lovren, a CB at 20m? So you haven’t got it. And where you been this longtime? Even Rip Van Winkle knows you can’t buy top quality players for 25m these days. We’ve been buying prospects, freebies, loanees, a charity case and overpriced mid to lower quality players for the past two seasons now...and it shows, we’re struggling against even bottom of the table teams. The truth is that we have one ageing quality player together with a promising (if tiring youngster) and an injury prone decent striker that you could say have a bit of consistent quality about them. The rest wouldn’t make the bench with any of our competitors for CL qualification. I don’t like saying that anymore than you like hearing it, but it needs to be said.

However your chances are greatly improved when you sign top quality that suits your style of play. The one thing we’ve proven with the buy prospect policy is that you end up with a squad full of players you cant even use let alone depend on.
