Lets be honest here, the season where we finished second, you have to give credit to Rogders for getting the best out of Suarez and Dany, they were instrumental in our attacking display, that led us to scoring over 100 goals. But lets look at the bigger picture here, we conceded 50 goals, capitulated when the pressure was against us, and thus lost the title. And this season, we've regressed further, our attack is by far one of the least potent in the league, equivalent to tha of lower-mid table teams. It goes to show, he's not capable of handling pressure, and not the man to take us to new heights. Moving on, do you think Rafa would be any better ? Sure he won the champions league in 2005 and Fa cup in 2006, but what next ? We failed to win a trophy for the next 4-5 years with him in charge, so is he really the manager to take us forwards, or are we blinded by nostaligia ? 100 % correct

Strikers don't score consistently without a decent midfield to play from. Suaraz and Sturridge performed brilliantly last season but it's not a one or two man game. Fact of the matter is our strikers haven't preformed and Rodgers tactics have been regressive in failing to play two up front (or even one up front at times). Combined with a suspect defence it's no surprise where we are in the league.
You have to give Rodgers credit for last season but it's hard accept he managed to actually weaken the squad with all that cash in the summer. Just don't know if he should be trusted with a large transfer budget again.
Rafa had a spending habit no doubt but we mustn't forget the turmoil the club was in at the time. In my view Rafa is a better manager overall because he has a track record of actually winning things. Just don't know if we can wait for Rodgers to make that breakthrough. On the evidence of this season that's getting harder to do.
Klopp is still a risk with no premiership experience and Rafa won't be appointed by FSG so we either stick with Rodgers for another season or look elsewhere.

If we consider Rafa's tenure as failure then we really are deluded about our position. What has happened since Rafa left and where are we now? BRs suggests 5th is about right for us. I would much rather have more of Rafa's failures than BRs success.

Faz... times have changed. For us to win the league it's gonna take some big spending over a couple of seasons or a freak one off season like last season. We don't have the financial clout to achieve the former quickly.
In the meantime, we need to rebuild our reputation. We've got to be able to compete. That will steadily takes us to a positions where we are more likely to attract quality signings even if we're not the richest. Rafa did this. He put us back on the map. We need that to happen over many years as a foundation for title winning side.
Look at Arsenal. Do you consider Wenger a failure? Even if you do, don't you think Wenger's tenure has taken Arsenal forward?
