He bought six or so in which is conveniently forgotten Vish and they had a number of quality players he's brought on and improved who weren't getting games.

The structure around him (including his brother) is all his own and there appears very little meddling a far cry from us I'd say.

How many did we buy and at what price? We sold only one player the manager wanted to keep while he lost 3 of his top players. We were 2nd last year and they were mid table. Common, you cannot deny the fact that he did a much better job than Rodgers with more with a weaker team and less money, however, he bought rightly unlike Rodgers. Rodgers also brought his own mid table personnel like Pascoe for example.

Don't think we could say he's yet a genius but he's definitely not a [oops].
He was the main reason for us mounting a title challenge last season. He got the best out of his players.
Suarez, Sturridge, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Skrtel etc were all fantastic in that second half of the season and that's down to the coaching of Brendan.
In terms of man management, I do think he's fantastic, although tactically he is very naive as has been shown by starting line ups, substitutions and at times, systems.

When it comes to the 343 we are currently implementing, I think he was just looking for anything to give him defensive stability and as such it started out as more of a 541.

In terms of signings, if they've performed well for us or we have managed to bring in a profit from their transactions (transfer fee only) I wouldn't consider them "failures" as such. Though, there are some that may be more obvious successes than others.

Rogers supporter with blinkers or the glass is half full!


noun [oops]·trar·i·an \kən-ˈtrer-ē-ən, kän-\.
If all else fails say that word outstanding a couple of times. The more you do the more you will believe your own spin.

Nothing wrong in what he says though. Pretty balanced and nothing blinkered or half full about it.

Maybe you're the blinkered one in being so anti Rodgers? Works both ways.

Since FSG decided that's what they wanted Heggy. Not agreeing with it but it is part of their strategy and small club mentality to me.

If Rogers is sacked I see little to suggest it won't be more of the same. As said many times, we have a cat in hells chance of getting a manager who is top drawer come in and be dictated to on how he should do the job and who he can buy so I am hoping he continues to learn by his mistakes and becomes a great manager.

What other option is there bar pulling your hair out week in week out?

"I think we were outstanding on Saturday.

I think we were outstanding last month.

I think we have been outstanding this season.

I can mindlessly repeat these sentiments to the media until the end of time and maybe even believe them... so please, could you give me a job as LFC manager? Thanks."

No on second thoughts I will not send this draft application to Mr Henry! As I happen to live in the real world
