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.


I hear what you are saying but as quickly as we found we could play without a striker we also found we could play with 3 at the back. I am more nervous watching us this season simply because last season our firepower could get us out of any hole.

We are now looking like becoming a team which will be halfway between the one that put everyone to the sword last season and the awful team we became between Sept and Dec last year.

it's the speed that is important. we lost half a season and suffered an excruciating Champions League campaign working things out, including a suspected damage limitation strategy at Real Madrid.

So you wont give him the benefit of the doubt then? The article put the question: Genius or fraaud? And gave us a number of examples to choose from, was it luck? Or was it result of Rodgers actions? given that we wont know for sure either way for some time, and the fact that those examples were all successful, I consider it mean spirited to not give Rodgers the benefit of the doubt, untill the issue is proved one way ot the other.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you as I know this was a reaction to something else, but they can't directly be compared. Rodgers 3rd season with 200 million + spent, LVG has had one season. Rodgers shouldn't need half a season to find a forumla. And LVG is in the champions league spots right now, so right now he's succeeding in his current task.

Well put Kop. People are forgetting that he is still learning his trade. Has the potential to be one of the best in the future.

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.


I think that's about right.

No, it's not right, it's completely wrong.

FSG are quite happy with this type of manager, it's what they want and how they want things done. Rogers suits this structure perfectly and they aren't going to take a blind bit of notice of us mere fans-that's been quite clear.


For those shouting he should have never been appointed and want a recognised World Class manager that befits a club with similar stature; how many would work under the under 21's but it's the first team type set-up which is FSG's directive for being at the helm?

Rogers would love a Bale or Benzema in the team it narrows down the risk massively but it's not what their strategy is about.

They appointed what they considered was the most suitable young manager to follow their programme and of course he will have to drop the ball and learn along the way.

Why is it such a surprise?

Think a Koeman or Mourhino is going to work under this?

Dream on.

he;s not a [oops], hes just not very good.
there's no excuse for the demise of this club after last season. whats worse is he wont admit to it. keeps saying how amazing we are, makes me hate the guy.

Mourinho I understand, he doesn't need to go backwards in his carreer, but why do you think Koeman won't work under this, he is working under something worse at Southampton who sold all their best players last summer?
