You can pick and choose all the moments you wish, but losing 4-0 to Spurs and losing 6-1 to Stoke are fairly comparable. You can randomly choose moments where any record was broken and ask "how could you let that happen" but it doesn't mean you can be immune to when every other manager has set a similar standard for those moments.


7th and 8th is not such big a gap and a Spurs with the most expensive player on the planet, Bale, is not comparable to Stoke, only for you may be. You can add West Ham at home if you want.

Our defence has managed clean sheets, and our results are up on last seasons. All there is left to judge is the next game, and this is a big one historically and in terms of rivals too. All this debate on him going or staying is just too much to handle. Fans should stop debating needlessly when nothing is on the table yet until he's had a full start to the season. If there was this much focus getting behind Rodgers, we might have actually seen a better response at Anfield once we went 1-0 and then 2-0 down.


Both of your posts on this page are fairly balanced but I believe for most fans, BR started this season on borrowed time. For me he has anyway. He is not being judged on a 4 game start he's being judged on 100+ games and £200+ Million.

I can not get behind this manager on any level quite simply because I do not think he should be at the club this season. BR has exhausted all my reservation and optimism I may have once had. I have 100% faith in the fact that his legacy after leaving this club will be to have achieved nothing other than letting the title slip away and after spending £200+ Million he will leave the club with sh1tter players than what he inherited.
I totally agree with all your comments nmade............ we have spent a [oops] load and we look more unbalanced than we have for years .. we have no spine through the middle... we will do well to be top 7......
