Didn't Klopp say recently he wouldn't mind managing a premier league side...
Translation, "I want Rafa at all costs because Rafa loves Liverpool and he'll help us beat Athletico Bilbao in the Europa League"
Rafa is a bad idea, he will play Lambert on the fucking wing.
pretty much.
I'm done LTW, I'm tired of us being embarrassing. I don't want to go through that again.
I'm tired of it too but this season could still turn around.
I wouldn't risk given Rodgers another penny in the transfer market..If we don't get any points from manu and the arse, I think the board will be forced into either going back into the transfer market in January or replacing Rodgers.
Which is the least risky option?
Rodgers should start having the team press the opposition, worked well last season. Standing off hasn't stopped the other team from scoring. When we get in the oppositions face we've looked more capable of making something happen in attack. But we've not done it much this season. Weird.
You better believe it. I'm sure it will TBH 🙂
The day I put my club on a parallel with that fucking shitehole is the day I give up on football.Yep and that's when Chelsea told Di Matteo to fuck off.
This season isn't over yet, concentrate on form and win a trophy or two this season.
'Our performance levels need to improve'. He'd be better not talking after games if he insists on this kind horrible waffle. It needs to be judged at the end of the season, clearly, and in the meantime he needs to show a hell of a lot of humility and show he's trying to learn from his mistakes (and not rely on excuses - in his first season it was 'we have a wafer-thin squad'; now it's 'we've got a bigger squad but apparently it's still wafer-thin'). But he's had some shit luck so far. It wasn't his fault Suarez left. It wasn't his fault Sturridge got injured. We've all got to wait and hope he gets out of the rut.
I think he got the lineup wrong, but I don't think he can be accused of not budging on his tactics, he brought in Lucas and pushed Gerrard up several games ago now, as everyone wanted. He dropped his big money centre back and brought in Toure again, not that this should really be congratulated in the bigger picture, but I think he's been pretty fair over giving players games to get it right and taking them out the firing line when needed. I think he's got too many players in some positions though and that's shocking when we don't have a striker to rely on.
He might have too many players for certain positions, but he has absolutely no leaders for any position anymore. it really says it all when Jordan Henderson is the vice captain of the Club. Nice lad and all that, but he is no leader. We have noone going out to win the war. Noone With the attitude of "no team should beat us at Anfield at my shift!!!". Young exciting players are allways fun, but they need to learn to be kicked around at training and we don't have that in our Squad. When they noone is mean to them in training they get paralyzed when People are mean to them in games.

Speaks volumes of the morern Liverpool fan that we look to a billionaires plaything as the measure of the way to do things.
Im not saying Mr Rodgers is the answer. At this stage the jury is way the fuck out, and it looks like he may be 50 feet from an iceberg with no means to turn it around. Honestly id give him the summer and the first few months of next season to get it right. If by say end October we havnt looked like serious title contenders id be in favour of change before Jan 16.
But the man who sorted out Hodgson and Kennys mess. Who took us from 11th to 2nd and back into the champions league. The man who overhauled an ageing bloated playing staff and has replaced it with (yes the jury is still out) Sterling, Markovic, Coutinho, Sturridge, Moreno, Can, Allen etc. This man deserves a full season to correct the problems. Some of which im happy to admit are his own doing. I really hate our Goalkeeper hes awful, hes a small club goalkeeper, and I hate the way we are loaded with small technical players and have no pace and power. No explosive dynamism like a Yaya or Costa. We have a lot of work to do. But hes a man whos learning from his own mistakes. Hes dropped Gerrard 3 times now. Thats massively brave. He has stopped playing him at DM thats an admission of his own culpability.
Hes brought Lucas back in, thats shown me he isnt an arrogant stubborn tosspot.
Theres a lot to like about Mr Rodgers (ridiculous manager soundbites aside) and he got last season so right that im willing to hope and keep the faith that this season is the blip and not that.
Suarez and Sturridge in this side and we are challenging for the title again. Neither being out is his fault.

That's it really.
Oh give him another year...fuck that.
If you don't trust the manager then he has to be sacked, simple.
I didn't think we trusted BR with the transfer kitty, I thought it was a committee effort?
Okay so a quick headcount, Jono, Modo and Skully want Rafa to come back and save the day? Just three is it?
