Rodgers survives

Didn't a club (City or Chelsea maybe?) recently acquire a football data company?

Football clubs should be more involved in the startup scene, if they're not already.


Yes. deffo. I'm all for making the most of data, in cricket as well as football. You need a very sensible and judicious person at the receiving end of it to balance it with other matters, but it's madness to ignore it. The key thing at a club like LFC is to streamline the process whereby it goes from start to finish. If you finish a game on a Saturday, have another on a Thursday, then another on a Sunday, you need a very precise and concise bit of input from your data team (I know there will also be ongoing monitoring of players, forthcoming games, transfer targets, etc, but that also needs a disciplined framework, too). Parkinson's Law comes into this currently: we've created such a big team, supplemented, dontcha know, by various EXTRA part-time ad hoc specialists, that they're working so indiscriminately that they require additional people to cut through all the extraneous stuff to find things of potential value. It's almost neurotic in its embracing of trivia.

Yup data is good but if it's interpreted incorrectly it's absolutely useless
 
Would you wanna play for someone who's told the whole world that if he's asked to leave he will leave ?

That would make a very awkward dressing room environment wouldn't it ? Doesn't inspire confidence does it ?
 
Yesterday I posted on here that I was torn between the two options.
I've woken up today knowing exactly how I feel.
FSG can fuck off, and Rodgers can fuck off.
Houllier was a gonna from the moment attendances dropped.
Rodgers will survive because however abject we are Anfield will always be full. It's a fucking theme park.

Not if we are in the relegation zone - 8 points from 27 in the last 9 games extrapolates to 33 points in a season. Mind boggling the complacency of these yanks.

It's a classic Yes Minister situation: if you want to stop a minister from doing or thinking anything, 'help' him by giving him way too much information!
 
Prove it.

Have you got Binny on ignore?

If you think those are what clubs use, you're a million miles away.

The goal of analytics is to separate luck and find repeatable skill. You cannot do that in any meaningful way by looking at any stats counted by the media organisations.

The one time I've seen clubs open up slightly about is at the Sloan Conference - where City and Chelsea's staff talked about how none of the stats they view as important in judging performance are publicly available.
 
I'm surprised that's he's being given another chance but I think it's the right decision.

If we were to judge anything on 9 games, then I'd be pretty disappointed, but probably not surprised.

We're simply following the Arsenal model of falling apart at the end of the season - but it evolves... In only ten years we'll be delighted to win the FA Cup and have the most expensive tickets in world sport.

I'm not happy, but I'll have to go along with it
 
Klopp, Anchelotti and Benitez all between jobs and we stick with someone who has failed for three years, can't set up a defence or buy a decent DM, and prescided over our worst defeat for 52 years. He can fuck off.


I agree about the change needed but not if we cant replace him with someone better.
Benitez going to Real Madrid and should never be offered the job here regardless.
Ancelotti and Klopp both taking time off.

Who should we approach if we sack Rodgers?

I know. Just frustrated. We are acting like a mid-table club. And that's what's we're becoming. But I appreciate there is no one that stands out that's better. But if we were really interested in being at the top table at home and in Europe we should have at least tried to get someone better. He's made to look a cunt by Hughes and Pardew.
