Crisis, what crisis?

I doubt it, Mark, as he used to be Rodgers' superior at Chelski.

I know, I was thinking this, but aside from the ego's, it would have been ideal.

It's ok Rodgers arguing the toss over wanting to work with his staff, if it's working - but it's not. I'd imagine if it's his head or theirs then there's only one outcome.

I cant believe Achterberg is still our GK coach.
There are several good coaches out there, and the likes of Eric Steele at Derby would be a massive improvement.

As for coaching team, if Rodgers had any sense he would have built his team with quality and experience.
It would have helped his own development aswell if he had someone who would challenge him and contribute.
Today its just him it seems and its not working.

Most managers are like that and I think it is a big reason why they fail. Look at Rafa, towards the end he started surrounding himself with yes men than people like Pako who used to constantly challenge him. Moyes at United is another example, he dismantled the coaching setup and his Everton team took over.

Yes. Nice enough bloke, and for all we know he deserves some credit for Mignolet coming back so well from his collapse in form, but, really, there must be more obviously good keeping coaches out there.

Mike Marsh, if memory serves, only started playing regularly under Souness, so it's not as if he was that much of a link to our glorious past. Neal was (may well still be) a ridiculous sycophant but at least he had experience of winning things. I remember Mike Marsh scoring against Swindon at the start of a season and very little else he did of note. Other than get transferred to West Ham along with David Burrows when we signed Julian Dicks.

He scored the 1st or 2nd in the 3-0 win against auxerre. That's about all I remember him for

 

[cloggypop]

I remember him mainly for looking a bit like Scully.

(As in Alan Bleasdale rather than X Files or the hardest goth on 6CM)

LFC called a 'crisis meeting' today, couple of heads may roll, worth stating explicitly that Rodgers position absolutely not on the agenda.

The most important factor now is everyone from Henry, Rogers, ourselves, puts the interests of the club first. Our love for the club, as embodied by our famous motto, YNWA, means we should get behind the team. I suspect the most critical decision now will be for Rogers - if we continue to lose games he needs to ask himself whether he has lost the players. If he has, he will need to the noble thing - I think (hope?) he is big enough to do that and not that deluded.

Agree but fat chance with a nice fat payoff in the offing

Honestly, it all boils down to one thing. We've no strikers and no goals. Everything else just falls apart and seems worse than it is.

That said, I feel like a 2 week break from supporting the club. Every where's a battle these days, I don't need me only release to be pain in the arse too.

Yeah, constipation's a bitch. 😉

Exactly. I've been saying since the start of the season that our main problem was lack of strikers and goals.

I'm not sure Origi is the answer for that problem, but anyway with Sturridge's injuries record we'll probably need Origi + two more new top quality strikers while getting rid of Balotelli, Borini and sadly Lambert too.
If Yesil or any other young striker can make the step forward and become a first team player that would be a bonus.

 

[localny]

For sure. I mean, you can't go from 100 goals a season to 45, and assume that the problem lies elsewhere.

 

[cloggypop]

Suarez hattrick today.

[StevieM]

If we get rid of those we know are leaving - Gerrard & Johnson plus sell Balotelli, Aspas, Borini & Lambert for whatever we can; sell no one else, bring in Milner on a free and then take whatever money we had set aside for transfers plus whatever we get in those sales and splash it all on the best striker, in his prime years, that money will buy - then I'd be happy.

Those two quality, experienced players, plus current squad are enough to secure top 4.

 

[Insignificance]

So, any News on Whos head rolled?

 

[EmreCan Idol]

I'd sign Milner and sell Allen, put the money towards an attacking left sided player or striker. Three seasons gone and the Welsh Xavi hasn't really impressed me. Has a good game, then a couple of mediocre ones, then he's injured.
Henderson, Can, Lucas, Milner, Coutinho for the central midfield positions, with Rossiter making league cup and subs appearances.
Fullbacks required, a quality left sided player required, a couple of good strikers required.
