I'll use a Liverpool example to counter that. To the outside world Bob Paisley was a cuddly old uncle but his teams were full of hard-nosed bastards who needed no motivation to get up for big matches or indeed any appearance in a Liverpool shirt.
He needs sacking for that alone if he thinks that's true (unless he said it sarcastically or winked)
They got it direct from the manager. Paisley himself had a definite hard-nosed bastard side to him.
Maybe he's just had a quick tot with Sherwood and his brain has gone?
I know this mate, I'm not saying this season hasn't been a clusterfuck - it has. But people have short memories, like on the post-game stuff before, the pundits banging on about "Liverpool not doing it in big games", well if you discount games like City this season and last, trouncing Spurs, Everton and Arsenal like no Liverpool side in recent memory has.
Yes he did...I said that was the image he portrayed to the outside world.
And apparently he was as ruthless as anyone when it came to making big decisions. His public persona was hard to figure out as he did so few interviews but hearing players who played under him they all say that he could be as cutting as anyone when you didn't perform. Also he had Ronnie Moran who bollocked the players even when they won and who has rodgers got. Some fat headed clown that wears shorts in the dead of winter even when he's sitting on the bench. The shorts thing probably doesn't make that much of a difference but does make him look like a tit.
"sometimes you can want to win too much" said the manager whose not won a trophy.
Should we stick or twist?
It's like he's the wise old head who'd been a top manager for years and years and is generous enough to share his wisdom. Rather than someone who hasn't won anything and looks to be mostly smoke and mirrors. I genuinely can't listen to him anymore as it makes me shout at the telly.
Entering Moyes territory here.
Its your fault you're the biggest bellend on this site who constantly tries to be a clever smartarse, when in reality you're a fucking moron.
meh, not fussed.
Poor Hansern
Spot on that.
I stopped listening to him quite a while ago, the absolute bullshit he spews got way too much.
The man's a pretender who hung on the coat tail of Luis Suarez.
Let's not forget, bar a handful of games, we've been muck all season.
How many times did he change formation in that game? 4, 5, 6 times? This sort of stuff proves that he doesn't know what he's doing.
Moving Gerrard back at the start of the second half was probably the worst move of the lot on Rodgers part, such an obvious mistake it's almost like he's trying to handicap the team on purpose.
Bringing Johnson on with 15/20 minutes to go when we were chasing a semi final was awful too even though it was to replace the hapless Allen, why wait till injury time to bring on Borini or Lambert?

Just fuarking awful.
We were never ever going to beat Arsenal in a final though with Stevie in the team so at least we are saved from another curb stomping from the Arse.

Thoughts
- Tactically we were a mess. We must have changed systems three times during the game.
- We took 25 minutes to come to terms with the fact we were losing because we had played poorly. The lack of leadership and competitiveness during that period was disgusting.
- I think we'd have won, or at least gone to extra time if Balotelli had started. He did more in 45 minutes than most players did in 90.
- The same is true is if Lucas has started.
- Gerrard should have won the league last season and left. I'm not in the slightest bit annoyed we didn't offer him in a new deal last year. It's like playing with ten men every time he's on the pitch.
- Sterling up solo against that Villa defence was doomed from the start.
- Delph won't be a Villa long, new contract or not. Same is true of Benteke.
Btw the plan to stay awake went to shit. Fell asleep almost immediately after posting and had to watch the game on DVR.
Luckily I remembered to record. Unfortunately had to watch us get trashed by Villa.
Moving Gerrard back there was because Allen and Henderson were so bad. We needed someone to get on the ball and get it to the Coutinho and Sterling.
I thought Gerrard was better than either of them at that. Not saying he was great though.
