Back the Manager NOW!

[localny]

"People say what's your success? The word for me is failure," adds the Liverpool manager, who will be seeking an eighth successive Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur.

"How you succeed is how you deal with failure. Whatever way you dress it up something hasn't worked. For the first time in my life I felt I had failed at Reading. I probably read the script wrong, thinking I had three years and instead I had 20 games. I could either disappear and become an academy director, where I'd been for 14 years, or show character and perseverance and go again.

"Thankfully I was able to do that. I certainly have not had it presented to me. I found out the hard way. I respect former players who get the opportunity but I had to go down a different trail. I suppose that fear of failure is what drives me on."

Very harsh to strip the Manager and his staff of all positive attributes because of a poor run of form.

Absolutely. We are not spurs.

 

[Modo]

Absolutely. We are not spurs.

Nope. We're still fucking up like them

 

[Judge Jules]

All the more reason not to behave like them off the field.

 

[localny]

Isn't attacking football supposed to be his forte?
Well he's failing at that too.

Mate, yer a troll. A very nice one. But still a troll.

You really are Pro Rodgers at any cost aren't you.. ? I just don't get this..

Sadly my Patience is wearing very thin with Rodgers.. If he doesn't get a result against Stoke, I think the pressure will pile on...

It's this kind of post that makes people get hostile mate. Localny is about as unbiased as they come, he likes Rafa, he likes Rodgers, he sees faults in both. You're ramming your opinion down peoples throats in a few threads and are going overboard on many points, so accusing someone like him of being "pro Rodgers", is annoying, considering that A) He isn't and has offered up balanced views and B) You're being anti-anything that Rodgers does, in every thread, with every post.

It not meant to becoming across that way, It not been all negative, I am sorry if it is, it more about pointing out his flaws.. I am finding it hard to find the positives with him at the moment tbh...

I have ran out of patience with him its the same old problems rearing their head..

The only positive is like I said earlier, If he does turn it around it will probably be the making of him.. It will move him from being a decent manager to a great manager..

 

[localny]

Good points Jono, but you keep making them over and over. Move on mate, or take a break from the keyboard. Your passion is respected, but after a while in many threads, it's more than enough.

Let's stipulate your views here. You've run out of patience, and think BR unlikely to learn to be a better defensive coach. Done!

Does this mean that Modo is the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything?

 

[localny]

Apparently yes but he says it over and over again in so many arguments and threads that nobody believes him

My teenage daughter often uses that term..

This this like the to-and-fro talk between Kate Hudson and the kid in Almost Famous, where he ends up being about 10.

Great thread

Boss mate.

A sign of good manager is how you overcome a bad patch..

I don't think any manager who worked for you could ever overcome a bad patch, Red. You'd have sacked him the moment a rumour surfaced that a bad patch was up ahead.

I wouldn't want to go to war in any situation but if I found you in my platoon I'd surrender immediately to prevent the inevitable mutiny occurring on day 2.

For the record it took you three months to turn on Rodgers. With you in charge Rafa would never have been an option. His first season in the league was dismal. The first 4 to 6 months of the next season were utter wank - hence the infamous thread "Thanks for the CL Rafa.....". What saved him was that he had an out and out match winner in form of our greatest ever (or certainly top 3) players in his team. Without Gerrard we go nowhere in that CL and if Rafa had managed to sell him that summer then he'd have been looking for a new role and not in a position to manage us to a second CL final. This isn't an effort to slam Rafa but just looking at the "it wasn't Rodgers but Suarez" stick you love to wield.

It wasn't Rafa who took us to a title challenge - it was Gerrard and Torres. Again, not having a go at Rafa cause he did a tremendous job for us. But your constant, incessant crusade to lead SCM on a Rodgers hanging is becoming ridiculous. Offering up Rafa as a solution just illustrates how absurd it really is.

Benitez is a good manager. Won stuff before he got to us, won stuff with us, won stuff after leaving. Don't really get the disrespect (however carefully you phrase or 'explain' it).

Benitez won't be Liverpool Manager again and neither should he be as Rodgers will succeed but there is no doubt he can do a job.

 

[Woland]

If we did poach Klopp I reckon they should get Tony Pulis, seeing as the best manager in the world has currently got Dortmund bottom of the league

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Yea WTF is happening with Dortmund?

 

[rurikbird]

I am backing Rodgers. And I think he has found a way to weather the immediate crisis. We've passed the low point.
