Need to be more balanced. Any credit that Rodgers had is being erroded post by post ... by his biggest fan RS. In fact according to him, our title challenge is about to collapse cos Karius is playing in goal.

Soon as you said that City equalised 
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.

Brendan was a top manager and was very successful for a lot of his time here, in particular that amazing 2013/14 season.
In his final full season when results weren't as good (although we did get to two semi-finals and our league points counts was still respectable), I felt he was unlucky as he didn't have the team to use his style of play. Also when your British and not a fashionable name and haven't got the glittering CV, most fans aren't going the manager much time.
But no doubt one of the best managers we have had in recent times. I think only Hodgson was worse but he had only half a season, so we cannot be sure. KD went to 2 finals winning one while Brendan only got to semi finals. Klopp in his part season went to a final, so already better than Brendan. All these are facts but I would think your heart would say otherwise, better to use your head in football.

Dalglish might have got to two finals but where did he finish in the league that season ? And if that performance that season was so good why did John Henry sack him at the end of it ?

Any manager who finishes second in the PL having ran so close cannot be bad. He inherited a truly world class player in Suarez and had some very good attacking players in Sturridge/Sterling/Coutinho/Gerrard, so he was lucky to have these players. The team was exciting to watch but only had 1 real way of trying to win/playing and that was all out attack, the top managers can adjust their teams and tactics to suit the game/opponent, like what Mourinho's Chelsea did to us. He also spoke a load of Bo**ocks which got very annoying towards the end. He had his faults and it was time for him to go, but that year he gave us some great entertainment, it was truly Outstanding  He didn't inherit a world-class player in Suarez, he nurtured Suarez into a world-class player. That Chelsea game was unfortunate because we gifted them a first goal from nothing. Suarez was world class, the way he finished allot of goals could not be coached, that was natural ability, not nurturing, the only nurturing Suarez needed was on his temperament to stop him biting people !!! I was using Mourinho as an example of a top manager, who adjusts the team/tactics as required, not that game in particular, Rodgers could/would not do that, so that's why he will never be a top manager. He was an improvement over Hodgson, just like Klopp is an improvement over Rodgers.

We didn't have the squad to compete in so many competitions and if you remember, we let go after the Arsenal home game when we were beated by a top Van Persie goal, a game we should have been 3-0 ahead in the first half with Suarez missing sitters. And IMO JH biggest mistake was to replace KD by the inexperienced Rodgers, the last trophy we won was under KD, hopefully Klopp will change this very soon.

Had just a few results (one result even) had been different Rodgers would have won the title that's football you can't give dalglish a free without applying the same logic to Rodgers.
