I'll ask again, if they still don't sack him? It's far from guaranteed that they will and they won't know what's going on from Boston.

Whether you like BR or not, Liverpool need results first and foremost. Wishing a loss isn't going to get him sacked, and suggests your putting your own viewpoint against the team you support, which I find baffling.

For a start, a team with average age of 21 managed an away result in the Europa League. He managed 7 points from games we managed 7 from last season - which is minimum adequacy, and he will be given a period of time beyond a handful of games to get the team ticking again.

I hope BR realizes he is in over his head and quits. But that ain't gonna happen. In addition to that I do hope that we at least show some fight and tenacity while trying to score goals. The rest will even itself out as it always does.


BR won't quit. He'll keep dishing out amateur formations and keep playing players out of position until he's forced to go. He won't want to lose his severance package and what a nifty package it is. He can then ride off into the sunset with the new squeeze. FSS it's like taking 1 step forward and 3 steps backwards with this guy. Can't wait to see the back of him.

When has 7 points from 5 games been acceptable for Liverpool? Also if you forget the points tally and look at performances its been an awful start to the season.

Its the start of the season. Few teams manage performances.

Acceptable is understanding that we're not the No.1 team in England. Losing to Arsenal and United is not good, but they're not questionable results for any manager. Its about realism. Anybody "expecting" more than 7-9 points after those five games, I feel, is settling an unfair benchmark on any manager. That's three of our toughest away games out of the way this season.

You do know this is BR's 4th season in charge? We're also lucky to have won any games at all. A wonder strike at Stoke and poor refereeing decisions all round helped us beat Bournemouth. Obviously we got the wins which is great but if you look at the big picture we aren't resolving last season's issues and this season will go exactly the same way as last due to this.

Well we didn't lose to Arsenal, we got battered 3-0 at home by West Ham who hadn't won at Anfield for over 50 years. And I really don't care that they have also beaten Arsenal and City away.

Hasn`t managed it since Suarez left,a handful of games wont change a thing.He is an absolute pitiful excuse of a football manager,from his self portrait,and Tv show to his dire signings` and p1ss poor player management,however until FSG decide they want to sell/start winning things we will have to suffer this clown and its pointless having these groundhog day for/against threads.

With six new players in our starting line up. Managing expectations is what people think it is, but its just rational reasoning.

I understand the points about performances. I agree they've been bad. But if you have half a new team settling in, you give them time. He doesn't have the time he did last year, and I think that is fair too. We're onto a run of very winnable games, now will speak more of the team BR wants and is developing.

He managed a very good run last season Kano over a half season period. Pitiful? No. Dire signings? Lots have been poor. [oops] poor player management? I guess for the title challenge he was just an observer, and that all the players developing under him would have done so without any of his coaching?! Come on.
