Rodgers is not a top club manager. If it wasnt for suarez things would have been far worse. This clown was responsible for the SG retirement drubbing against stoke. He's doing a good job with leicester but id rather have arse surgery than have him back at the club. Under Rodgers, Suarez wen from an erratic luxury player who would have a stormer one game, and miss six sitters and get sent off in the next, to the best player in the league. To say it was just Suarez is myopic: otherwise he would have done it under Dalglish. Rodgers improved Suarez, Coutinho, Henderson, Sturridge, and Sterling immeasurably. He nearly won the league with a back 4 of Glen Johnson, John Flannagan, Martin Skrtell and Kolo Toure! That team was greater than the sum of its parts, and to pretend it was Suarez is just silly, especially considering Suarez spent the first 10 games of the season banned, and we still won most of them. When he had to juggle Europe and rebuild the squad after losing Gerrard to age, Suarez to Barca, and Sturridge to injury, and Sterling to City, his lack of experience was certainly exposed, but when he had a week between games to prepare, his preparation and coaching were evident. His system was a good foundation for Klopp to build on.

Agree except the last bit, Klopp changed almost everything Rodgers built He changed and refined a lot, but the pressing and defending from the front, playing out from the back, our strengths as a counter-attacking team, or passing game: much of that was easier to implement with what Rodger did having happened already. It was a much easier transition than it would have been taking over from Dalglish or Rafa. Rodgers style isn’t the same as Klopp, but there are certain elemnts that are very similar.

Not sure about that, the end of the Rodgers' full season and the beginning of the next one, the one he got sacked were appalling, worse than Dalglish's last season when we went to 2 cup finals winning one.

It's a shame Rodgers doesn't get the respect he deserves, mostly because of a portrait and saying 'outstanding' a lot.
He's got an impressive CV for a very young manager and I think he's going from strength to strength. Liverpool was just too soon for him but he nearly got us there.. Lack of experience but also circumstances went against him. If we'd had a better GK that year, we'd be giving him legendary status.
I have a feeling down the line we might give each other another shot. Many years down the line of course after Klopp's gone. I'd take him over a Stevie G anyday.
