The biggest 100% problem and it would mask over all our other problems is that we have not signed a proper replacement for Suarez. That is Rodger's fault, Committee's fault or a combination. All the rest is secondary.
Whoever did not get Sanchez to Liverpool is to blame the most. He should have been kidnapped, We would not be in this mess we are now if we had signed him Sanchez is nowhere near Suarez's level so that's a bit wide of the mark. Missing out on him was no one's fault...he simply preferred London. We didn't just lose suarez though; we've lost sterling, gerrard and Sturridge since threatening to win the league 2 years ago. That's a hell of a lot of missing talent to cope without! Yes I do not believe Sanchez could of consistency scored for us like Suarez could even if we had replaced suarez for last season instantly. Sturridge being out too, we were never going to hit as many goals we did the season prior to the summer of 2014. Sterling was actually used as a lonestriker for a fair few games, missed a hat-rick of chances against manchester united etc. Had to resort to using a back 3, because our pressing front 3, or front 2 weren't available to us anymore, liverpool basically didn't have an attack as such, so we depended on our midfielders getting us goals.

Suarez is a better player but Sanchez is top drawer as well, I don't think there is a huge amount in it in terms of ability. Sanchez suffered at Barca because he is a wide forward, they already had Messi and Neymar and were therefore crying out for a central striker, meaning Suarez was the perfect player for them. I've just imagined Suarez and Sanchez in the same Liverpool team, that would have been absolutely awesome to watch!

He should have been kidnapped, We would not be in this mess we are now if we had signed him We probably would mate...has only scored 6 goals and has been out injured since the end of feb. I think Ings getting injured has been a kick in the teeth. Was coming along very nicely

When you have suits playing football manager at Liverpool football club you are in trouble. We've been there since FSG walked in the door.

Good grief. Klopp has been here 3 months + and such a thread on him.
It's not about fans covering up for him. It's about fans recognizing his pedigree, knowing the difficult job he has on hand and basically being rational enough to believe that given time, he can bring some of his previous success to LFC as well.
He has not even gone through 1 transfer window and have any of 'his' players in the 1st team.
The other points about FSG shooting only for balance sheet performance has some valid points but in the long run, a financially stable and self sustaining club will, that's right, keep the club long running.
You can't say that FSG have not provided the funds. They placed the transfer onus on the committee (of which BR is part of) and obviously the signings mostly have not worked out as well as we all hoped. A manager lives and dies by his signings. Results go well, I'm a great manager. Not so, the signings weren't mine. Could BR have done better if he stood his ground on transfers or was a better manager to the players that were eventually bought?
Hindsight is always 20/20...

That's a good read Shaggy, this part sums us up perfectly
" Two years on, the signing of Benteke, for a non-refundable twice the price, seems entirely baffling: neither an investment nor a symptom of Rodgers’ playing “philosophy” in action, just evidence of confusion."

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
