lesser team need good tactics to beat teams which have better quality players. Rafa got good results for us all over Europe and in the EPL against Chelsea, United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan....

BR has failed to win most crunch games


Rodgers doesn't know how to get his team to handle pressure, last year we were doing very well until we came top of the league and could believe in winning the league, this year we've done badly because we were expected to have a run for the title after coming second and spending that much. We lost our home game against manure when we had the possibility to get 4th, we are poor in cup competitions because all games are vital otherwise you are out. Quite clear to me. He could be atop coach but not good enough for the top job at at club where expectations are high.


Really?! I didn't expect us to challenge for the title ths year. We had to bed in 6 new players and had an extra competition to play in. Oh, and we'd lost one of the world's best players. It also unfolded that our club captain was leaving and our top striker was crumbling away from within. Hardly a recipe for a title challenge!!! I thought we'd maybe get 4th but lvg did better than expected so 5th is a fair target in retrospect.
