KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Brendan Rodgers: Genius or F.raud?

Until it's decided otherwise by the eventual outcome, we have no option but to give Rodgers the benefit of the doubt. Therefore it's got to be genius in the meantime! Though that'll sit hard with a few on here, who would prefer to see him fail, for some reason best known to themselves.

He's neither, but he is lucky. He's learning his trade at LFC on the back of an average CV and at a time when there's been a pot of money spent. There's a shed-load of managers that would give their eye-teeth for his job.

Maybe wrong to read too much into it but I think also he prefers the less experienced purchases because he's not convincing enough for top players and suits FSG because he's not gonna rock the boat.

Certainly not genius. A genius would have pulled off a title last season; a genius would've found the formula to beat or get the required point against Chelsea at home; a genius would not have taken nearly half a season to find a system that works without Sturridge & Suarez; a genius would not have spent £30m on three strikers and fail to get even one of them to be effective.

F.raud might be too strong a word, but I suggest he's nearer to this end of the scale than the genius end.

Well said

He changed things to suit what he had fit and playing reasonably well. Same sort of thing that LVG has done at Utd, especially early on, and I bet he's not a [oops] for doing it! Pretty pathetic really.

sorry wilks but I just don't recognise that. when did he do that?

This is BRs third full season isn't it? We're just one shaky performance away from losing faith in the keeper again, we don't have a decent backup, we don't know who our best defenders are, we're playing someone who appears to be a quality player (Can) in defence.... I could go on.

I think we're lucky to be where we are and it's frightening how close we are to disaster on the pitch.

Not a genius. A hard worker I think who doesn't get as much luck as his work deserves. The luck was not getting a point at City or Chelsea last season for various reasons.

Not a [oops] either. He has to be very political with his choice of words at times either due to decisions on the pitch or those made by the owners.

For me he just doesn't get animated enough at times for me to believe he has the real passion needed to be the real deal.

For all the big issues he has had to deal with, the sale of Carroll, dealing with the likes of Suarez and the outgoings of two legends in Carragher and Gerrard then he has to be commended.

If he gets CL football this season then we will see the journey continue.

So you don't recognise where he changed things yet just said where he changed things to suit what we had??

Anyway, I'm not getting into this pointless debate started by someone who clearly has more than a few issues with Rodgers.

For me, he's doing ok . No point sacking him yet as FSG will not appoint anyone better. If they do sack him then I'm sure it'll be deserved for whatever reason but don't for one minute fool yourself that we'll get anything but the same kind of manager as Rodgers.

I don't think we should sack him. I think we need to support him and try to make his tenure a success.

all debates on here are pointless. Nothing really matters in the grand scheme of things. It's an interesting pastime but whatever we say on here isn't going to affect anything.
