1. Why did you buy Lambert after selling Carroll for a loss?
2. Why did you think Balotelli could play up front on his own?
3. Why did you buy Manquillo then play all our midfielders ahead of him at wingback?
4. Why did you keep Borini at all?
5. Why do you keep playing Johnson when his heart is not at the club?
6. Why do we have no leaders when Gerrard is not around?
7. Why did you buy Markovich and never play him in his natural position?
8. Why did you loan out so many defenders then force Can to play at CB and RB?
9. Why is Sterling undroppable?
10. Why did you play strikerless formations in so many must win games?
11. Why did you not buy another top midfielder - when it's clear we get overrun in that position?
12. Why didn't you get real competition for Mignolet?
13. Why don't you just resign?

The questions are enough to show all the incompetence in the job we need to see from a professional sports manager in a position at Liverpool Football Club.
He has to go and his band of round table knights with him.

You're just being facetious to me now RedsforChampions. I have not said anything about Rodgers and his players needing bedding time because we lost a few games. You can quite clearly see the points I've made and you're being overly flippant about it by inferring other things.
If someone says they want him fired for not hitting his own targets this year, then that is fair. I'm not some dumb fool who wants or acts with intent to forgive BR for his inadequacies or failings. You're entitled to disagree, but I think a title challenge of any sort (whether people want to see it as lucky or all because of one player) still warrants the manager some free reign and a bit of time to turn things around when things don't quite go to plan. I'm willing to look past a period of time when players needed time to settle because I think BR commands it for his impact on the club from the year before. Disagree, fine, but don't try to manipulate my words.
Ok, you didn't say he needed bedding time again now, but then, his great record as you've put it after his bedding time (again) this season has been hit in the last few games when we could only beat QPR at home, a team fighting relegation. Losing to Hull, Villa, United at home, Arsenal (ok this one is acceptable but not the score and our performance) and only drawing against WBA is the same crap as the beginning of the season. Now if you want to take another chance with him, it's your opinion, but I don't see anything great (best for the job as he puts it) in BR even if we challenged last season. Some managers do have one top season, Hodgson when at Fulham was named manager of the season, Pardew had a relatively great season with Newcastle a couple of years back (he got an 8 years contract extension and got the sack 2 years after)

This all day long, not one point can be disagreed with on this list.

1. Why did you buy Lambert after selling Carroll for a loss? Lower wages, better recent record.
2. Why did you think Balotelli could play up front on his own? I didn't even want him. But he's played as a long striker for Italy and Milan and done very well before so it's a role he CAN perform.
3. Why did you buy Manquillo then play all our midfielders ahead of him at wingback? I didn't - he's on loan
4. Why did you keep Borini at all? He refused to leave when the club accepted offers for him
5. Why do you keep playing Johnson when his heart is not at the club? because flannagan is long term injured
6. Why do we have no leaders when Gerrard is not around? We do - Skrtel. How many clubs that you know have have several players worthy of leadership and captaincy??
7. Why did you buy Markovich and never play him in his natural position? what do YOU know about his 'natural' position?
8. Why did you loan out so many defenders then force Can to play at CB and RB? Can plays in deference because that is where the majority of his games as a professional footballer have been, for both club & country.
9. Why is Sterling undroppable? - he's not
10. Why did you play strikerless formations in so many must win games? we played Raheem as striker because Lambert wasn't match fit, storage wasn't fit and Borini isn't very good.
11. Why did you not buy another top midfielder - when it's clear we get overrun in that position? the window closed in January and at that point we were doing very well.
12. Why didn't you get real competition for Mignolet? because his form dramatically improved, along with the whole defence when we went 3 at the back with Can. Putting pressure on a keeper returning to form could have had a detrimental effect.

Outstanding. Rodgers himself couldn't have given better answers.

I would then tell you/BR, well my friend, you have failed miserably as 4th was the minimum objective as we agreed before you were given 117m to spend. Lambert, Balotelli,Lallana, Lovren, Markovic were performing much better under their respective managers before you brought them to work under your management. Please shut the door on your way out. Now if this doesn't happen, then it would mean that Rodgers was not responsible for the transfers.
