Many people put that season down to Suarez, but they seem to forget he was banned for 25% of the season. I don't think this is accurate, from memory I believe he was missing for the first 5 league games over the season, where we managed to get 3 wins, (All 1-0) one draw and one defeat. I remembered the ten match ban in total, but you are right, 4 of them he served the season before, missing 6 (5 league one cup)that season. My point was that he didn't play in those 5 games, which account for 10 points we earned that he contributed nothing to, and without those points we would have finished below Everton. For context, he only had 5 more appearances (33) than the ever-injured Sturridge (28). Also, of the 101 goals we scored that year, he scored 31. That's a fantastic contribution, but the other 70 had to come from somewhere, didn't they? Saying that Suarez the only reason for that season is simplistic and silly. Suarez was a big element but not the only one. A manager can have one or 2 great seasons like Ranieri last season, the only trophy he has ever won or Di Mateo winning the CL. A top manager is one who has suceeded consistently and for me Rodgers was not a top one.

My only point is that disrespecting Rodgers is unnecessary and does us no favors.

Nobody would be disrespecting Rodgers (except Gnp) if Redscouser would stop putting him on a pedestal, posters get annoyed and provide the balancing arguement

I've grown to dislike rodgers because RS's obsession with him. Also I think lovren and lallana have been the most improved since klopp came in.

Origi has disappointed this season.
Most improved from last season I would say is Hendo or Mignolet, followed by Firmino. You'll be happy to hear that Henderson got man of the match last night then Red, I didn't see it but it seems he was outstanding!

I read somewhere, maybe it was in 365, that he bossed the game, so the self appointed "experts" seem to think he was great. They say Stirabout score one of the goals too, so good night for Red fans....oh and Rooney was Shyte again, or so they say, but I knew that already.

They gave him the fooking armband for the next match, so it couldn't have been that bad.
