I think the first signs of his naivete were shown last season in the 2-0 home defeat to chelsea. Everyone knew chelsea were going to sit with 10bodies behind the ball and hit us on the counter but he still went gung-ho knowing a point was good enough.
I honestly pin most of the blame onto FSG and him. Most of the players in the team were signed by him, and despite our so called buy potential policy, we have spent close to like 200m last summer and look FAR worse than at any point last year. Benitez may have lost the plot towards the end of his reign but none of his sides were anyway near this bad despite spending far less. We definitely need someone to come in and sort out the defence cos if this goes on we'll be counting points from the bottom 3 not the top. Yeah that’s a reasonable summing of the situation, except I’d add that there are signs of frustration from Rodgers with the recruitment approach, you can see this when he uses words like "the process is broken” and when talking about players he’d targeted and; “were unable to get for various reasons” and when talking about targets; “I’m interested in quality rather than quantity”. When any manager talks openly in public like that about what’s going on around the recruitment processes you don’t have to be an Einstein to figure out he’s feeling somewhat frustrated. What I wonder are the “various reasons” he had in mind? and I wonder if he felt he was listened to when he asked for Quality, and then they went and brought in 9 prospects, including a fruit cake, a has been, an overpriced one season wonder, etc, etc. You can see and hear he’s totally [oops] off with the whole daft recruitment policy, and you have to say that’s down to FSG.

Well, if he is so frustrated, maybe he should grow some balks like Pulis a resign, no? One thing I agree though, it is down to FSG, they are the ones who appointed BR, the buck does stop with them.

Pulis is a c unt and he only resigned from a tin pot club like Palace. It's a bit different but he does need to do something if it's not working how he wants it.

A few Daniel Levy signings you think here? What I think we have here, is that Ayre and the Committee won’t sanction any signing that breaks the FSG recruitment policy on either transfer fee or wage cost

And PR is a key factor for FSG. I’d guess they rank it higher than winning the league cup for example.

Well it's only 10 points, I think it's a class apart at the moment, but, I retain my hope at the moment.... As mentioned Jose taught BR a lesson, I'm not sure we have learned that lesson..
Isn't the philosophy of footie, try things, if mistakes are made learn from them?
I like the Barca style of footie, I believe that is what BR is trying to do... Yet alas we are missing an athlete in the middle of the park, box to box man with a bit of power not to get bullied. It's all well running with the 6-7 second rule (winning ball back), yet if it's in the net before the 6-7 second rule, then u get buggered...

Unfortunately agree. I think that game broke sg.
A draw wouldve done the job.
His ego was the problem there ciuld etill be the case I'm not sure it was his ego. Probably his inexperience.
