If he goes, who do we bring in until the end of the season?

Other than taking credit for everything that went right last season I don't really know what he did?

What strides did he make?

Isn't it curious that those strides have regressed because Sturridge is injured and Suarez is gone?

He's the same self aggrandising bellend he always was. I
I'm sad to say I agree. I honestly don't know how anybody can justify giving him and the rest of the 'transfer committee' more money given their success rate.
 
Do you think a different Manager would have done better?

Who was it?

He didn't do anything that any other manager (or bloke in the street) wouldn't have done.

So no.

I think a world class striker wouldn't have had an 8 game goalless streak during a title run. Im still amazed by Gerrards slip.

No manager could have changed those things.
 
There tends to be a taboo of sorts in football where you're expected to deal with the tough times without complaint, if you want to be accepted to celebrate the successes. I think some folks are unfairly grouping valid concerns and just the general reactive nature of message boards together, without really examining some of the issues.

In reality though you aren't a knee jerk glory hunting Chelsea supporter if you question our long term future with BR. There are valid questions to be asked and discussed beyond keep or sack.

There's a theory that Roman Abramovic's money doesn't just buy the best players, it also buys the best negotiators, lawyers, medical team, and facilities. Short of QPR, nobody gets jerked around on transfers quite like we do, even Spurs tend to get their targets at decent prices, even if they don't always pan out.

I don't know if it's a cultural issue of striving to maintain status quo at the club, or just an issue of talent acquisition and management from an HR standpoint, but something isn't quite right. We've heard about nepotism being a factor before.

BR has shown a willingness to play the politics game alongside managing the club. Considering there's so many questions about his management itself though, this makes me very uncomfortable about our long term goals.

We are all complaining about things Rodgers has done during his tenure here. Ryan's thread titled 'The Manager' listed some recent pertinent ones too. However, there is a difference between voicing legitimate complaints and hysterically calling for an immediate sacking (Not that you are).

I think the majority of us are unsure about our long term future with Rodgers. Valid questions have been raised and discussed (.i.e. can he build a defensive unit, can he cope without Suarez/Sturridge?) but it seems to immediately descend into a keep or sack scenario.

If he wasn't responsible last season, he isn't responsible now then?
 
If he didn't sign the players (as he shouldn't be allowed to) then I'd agree.

We're not getting the luck we did last year, but we shouldn't expect to either. Sturridge had a particularly healthy year for him last season, Suarez continued his great form. We had more luck with goals from set pieces etc. There were loads of things that went our way, that wouldn't go our way this year. And they're why we're where we are now.

That and the shite signings - which Rodgers has to shoulder the blame for.

What are you agreeing with?
 
That he's not particularly responsible for our present league position, if you set aside the fact he signed the players
 
Isn't there a doubt as to who exactly identifies the players?

Yup, but there's no doubt about who has the final say thanks to Rodgson telling us all he was in charge.

Personally I think Hansern identifies the players.
 
Ross - you spent last season telling us how Suarez wasn't that important because he only performed against shit teams.

This season you get to try and pretend your other definitive statement - that managers don't matter, or shouldn't matter - when it's patently obvious that they do.

You're all over the place trying to justify the shit you hung your hat on.

Yep, plus some wonderfully evasive answers above.

They only matter if they're making transfer decisions, and they shouldn't be.

It's a wank squad we have and nobody would have us in a title race with it

What an troll-some post. You should get at least 10 pages out of that cry for attention.

Good to know that a whole season of the most enjoyable Liverpool performances in 20 years wasn't actually really good. Ross was likely disappointed with a 5-0 win against arsenal and spurs.

On it's face it's a phenomenal Jedi mind attempt Ross. Kudos.

Mate, what's wrong with you. Take a sabbatical. This elevator can't carry another troll. We are just getting over the other two and their continuous restatement of opinions 7 times a day, and 10 on weekends.
 
What are your thoughts on Shankly, Ross?

He was very lucky to have been managing in the 60s before social media. Also, very lucky to be starting from a low base of expectations.... ( a lawyer could argue anything to the weak minded)

Personally I think this site is a much better place when you're not posting. Its been bliss for ages now. Sadly not any more.

You should tell your fitness peak theory to Di Natale. He seems to be doing it all wrong.

... and yet said wank squad with the addition of a player who was only effective against shit teams was in a title chase till the very end.

All overseen by a manager who apparently didn't matter or add anything that anybody else could have.

You're like a fish out of water, desperately flapping about.
