I think he's great. He's a bit of a character, an enigma. He's obviously full of confidence in himself which is a good thing for a manager who wants to be top level. He isn't afraid to piss people off, nor is he afraid to completely alter his plan at a moments notice.

There are signs i've seen this season which suggest he could build a long-term successful team full of players who want to be at this club, and who will fight tooth and nail to get in the starting XI every week.

This is an issue for impatient fans who want everything straight away I guess, though I'd say most fans will see we're heading in the right direction.

I've been waiting 20+ fucking years for something good to happen, in that time I've seen the odd blip and for most of the time seen vast quantities of cash and idle boasts and false dawns given out.

How long does it take to be called patient?

I wasn't really aiming that comment at anyone to be fair, but if you don't have hope then what have you got left?
 
Yes they are, but why the feck is a proper neurolgist devoting himself too geeing up cyclists and football players???

Fuck knows

Perhaps he's going to introduce excess levels of serotonin into Raheem after another special rodgers rubdown
 
Is he REALLY a neurologist though? I get the sense that Rodgers would think anything to do with the head is neurology. He probably does head massages.
 
Who gives a fuck what he is or what Rodgers call him. The people he helps have won something. If he can contribute, then why not.

We dont have to be old fashioned in everything.

No, we don't. Let's get Eileen Drewery in while we're at it. She's worked with lots of players who've won things. It must be down to her.
 
Well I think it's the manager's job. If this bloke wants a regular gig he should be given an audition by working with Downing. If he gets Stewie fighting for his place, give him the job.

I'd hire Dr Ruth to sort out Stewie..
 
I think he is a bad nightmare - I really hope the owners do something come the end of the season. The only thing that is making this team work (as much as it is working) - is Suarez. There is no genius tactics at work at LFC, there is no ultimate progress in the teams performances looking accross the games they have played so far other than a significant collapse of our defence in quite a few games, and as for the sidways passing all I can see is that our players get tired very quickly in the second half passing the shitty ball sideways. We had problems last season - but they were really to do with missing quite a few chances in front of goal and genuinely being unlucky with Suarez out for 8 games but we got to 2 cup finals. This season - I really don't know what to make of it. Sorry for being so depressing but - you know what ? - I would rather have a Houllier/Rafa type defensive setup than all this 'I wanna be Spain' bullshit passing.
 
If you can't see the progress we've made tactically since Kenny...
Anyway, I enjoy watching us pass the ball.
I enjoy watching our former youth/reserve players in the starting line up.
I love the fact that if you're not performing you're out, unlike the clear favouritism we witnesses with Downing last season.
Sure, I wanted Rafa back but Rodgers was a good pick.
 
Really? I saw that in the Man City game but hardly at all since then. I don't see much of a distinctive style at all since then. It's a decent passing game but not as coherent as I'd like.
 
OK, I should have been clearer. How about, I enjoy watching our attempt of replicating tiki-taka.

Modo - I think what Macca menas is have you never heard of pass and move ? It makes me want to pluck my own eyeballs out everytime Rogers talks about possession football as if it it some new magic ITS BULLSHIT

Is there such a thing as a good nightmare?
 
Er, ok. Care to explain?

being married - your wife is watching while you are doing it with 4 other women - good nightware because your dreaming and doing what you want to do and not worrying about the legal/emotional consequences.

I agree with you - I have not seen that level being displayed against any other team this season, and even so - we drew that game despite our efforts. So in actual fact it makes no difference playing like that and getting a draw. Also the creative forward movement is just not there when the opposition decide to press on us - all that genius tiki taka shit goes out of the window and our team ends up passing backwards and sideways because no one can think straight and just wants rid of the ball.

We're a work in progress.

Yeah we tried that, last season. There was a lot of passing, not a lot of movement.
You know that goal Sahin scored against West Brom?
I haven't seen us do that in YEARS...

We're a work in progress.

I'm honestly not trying to sound negative for the sake of it, but I've been alarmed at how the progress part seems to have faded in recent performances. We don't play out from the back with any great intelligence, the movement in midfield has declined and we rely on the inspired talent of Suarez and Raheem up front rather than any great discernible pattern of play. I did want Rodgers to allow a degree of pragmatism in matches, but I didn't want his style to slip away. I don't really see either progress or regression, on his terms, when we play now - it just seems a strangely impersonal, fairly incoherent, variation on the 'usual' style. As we're stuck with Rodgers I want to see a clearer pattern emerge, rather than disintegrate. Obviously once Lucas returns and signings are made this may happen.
