LTW, you genuinely seem like a really really nice person.. But you're not funny.
I die a little inside reading your attempts.
Again, you're really nice though 🙂
No, he's my mentor in comedy.
I'm logging off - let Ross do it. He loves the Malaysian-Irish lad
I still stand by my signature - 'Remember the name - Brodgers'. I still think he can and will be a legend here.
So Brodgers get my vote of confidence (albeit, in popular belief, votes of confidence are dreaded kisses of death, but not in my case, obviously)
Bout the regression bit, i think my meaning may have been misinterpreted wrongly.
Hey, Bruce Wayne did get out of the pit, eventually, didn't he ?
"Why do we fall Master Wayne? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."

I admit the title was misleading but that's also why thread titles should come with the edit function.
I tried to edit the title and add a '?' to it but wasn't able to. There's no edit button !
I don't know mate, sometimes it's down to the kind of runs we don't make. He gets caught offside ALOT when we try to play him the way we play Sturridge. Gerrard absolutely thrived behind Torres, he said himself it was the first time he'd had "those sort of runs" to look for since Owen played, that season with Torres he was up there in the goals and assists. He's always contributed heavily, but his peak coincided with a partner to play off. Of course it's not Mario's fault and he himself might thrive with a strike partner. As things are though we've tried to shoehorn a centre forward into a "shoulder of the defender" striker and it's painful. Maybe Sturridge will cure both ills - we'll have a bit of bite and pace upfront AND Mario might start playing.
This is my hope. Mario playing just deeper than Sturridge with two of Sterling/Countinho/Lallana/Markovic in wide advanced positions. There was enough there in the Spurs game (when Balotelli was patently unfit) to suggest this might just work.
It certainly won't help now that Werner and FSG made such a point of stressing their continuing support for the last management team shortly before bombing them out. Hopefully they learnt their lesson and won't try that game again, but the precedent has been set and the press will seize on that even if FSG do dismiss the rumours. But it's an absurd state of affairs when Sturridge isn't even back and the team is clearly in transition. Rodgers clearly needs a teensy bit of a nudge when it comes to issues such as the defensive set up, but otherwise he has enough credit to be supported throughout the season.
IMHO he needs a bit more than a teensy nudge about the defence, but otherwise I'm right with you. My hope is that FSG will simply blank the rumours and not dignify them with a response.
How many backward steps are you allowed have? We should be looking at his progress and seeing if he's the right option. I still think he is, but to just assume the way we're performing is ok, is wrong.
They probably don't read the Metro.
Gerry, Captain Common sense to the rescue - you're right. I just think the man proved himself last year, and he's allowed as much time as he needs within reason. I think this season has been painful, but there's cause for optimism. Somewhere. I just misplaced it.
no one said it was 'ok' . How many backwards steps has he had?
Problem is, it's more like two steps back.
What makes it even worse is that we spent a whole lot of money in the summer.
Regarding Rafa and his transfers...I think Brendan has surpassed Rafa with regards to expensive failures or "jury still out" players.
I can actually only think of two players Rafa spent over £10 mill on and failed, Aqua and Keane.
Yes inflation, today's market etc matters.
Actually I want Henry to respond. His comments are highly amusing.
Oh yeah...we got £8 million back though...but he failed, although not as badly as some other players.
This isnt a thread about Rafa though is it?
But seeing as you brought him up.
He bought 59 players, I counted 18 good signings and some of them werent even that tbh.
Rodgers got some way to go before he's in that league.
We've bought younger players with potential and if they dont work out we'll get our money back.
We had to give loads of Rafas players away while paying their salary.
