If managers doesnt matter then just sack him and let Pascoe handle everything. He's already setting the cones out.

An SCM classic right there. Managers doesnt matter. Gold.

Hardly anything in the thread is about what comes out of his mouth.It's been about his coaching, his managerial decisions, his formations and his selections. And mostly from people who DON'T want him sacked. And we don't need 'an excuse to vent,' as you patronisingly put it. One would have to be a moron NOT to complain about the state of the club at present. I'm not sure why you're suddenly coming across as a giggling happy clappy Dalai Lama type, but there's no need for the air of superiority.

Post #742 less than an hour ago, you were doing that very thing. And I'm not Buddhist and neither would I patronize you, I don't have your insights into the club's inner workings.
 
When managers are under pressure it's rare that the things they say will help their cause with supporters who already doubt them. When Rodgers claims we've been unfortunate with injuries he can only be talking about sturridge surely (possibly flanagan too) and his injury record over the years suggest that he will always miss periods of any season so the manager and club should have planned and prepared better for that eventuality in terms of summer aquisitions and they clearly didn't. With this talking in the third person stuff he's starting to spout the sort of shite he was talking in his first six months (when he was also under pressure for results and performances) and i don't think it helps him at all.

There’s no one better than me to manage Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers says

Liverpool manager remains confident he can get his side back on track with tomorrow’s journey to Old Trafford, Tony Barrett says


Brendan Rodgers has responded to mounting criticism of his methods and suggestions that his job could be in jeopardy with a strident insistence that there is no one better equipped to manage Liverpool.

Before Liverpool’s crucial visit to Old Trafford to face Manchester United tomorrow, Rodgers mounted a staunch defence of his record since taking over as manager in the summer of 2012, highlighting last season’s title challenge and his history of improving players as the chief reasons why his position should not be under threat.

Despite acknowledging that being ninth in the Barclays Premier League and failing to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League is not good enough for “one of the biggest clubs in the world”, Rodgers maintains that he has not lost any faith in his ability to return Liverpool to the standards they set last season. The Liverpool manager did admit, though, that “command” of such a sporting institution is “lonely”.

“I think the message for me is clear, I don’t think there would be anyone better to do the job here,” Rodgers said. “Seven months ago we nearly won the title unexpectedly. I had time to work with players and took them beyond where the club has been, which was above expectation.

“This has been a difficult start with new players, less coaching time, young players, virtually starting again. I don’t think there is anybody equipped better to deal with that, having been here for the last two-and-a-half years, and experienced what this club is about and seeing what we get from the players whenever we are at our best.

“It comes with the territory [criticism and people calling for a new manager] when you don’t win games. Football is very short term. [For] the same people, maybe six or seven months ago, I couldn’t do anything wrong. You have to accept that as a manager and fight even harder to bring success. I certainly don’t doubt myself.”

The contrasting transfer strategies of the clubs have been consistently cited as one of the contrasting fortunes of Liverpool and United before their latest meeting. Whereas Louis van Gaal was able to recruit proven world-class talent such as Ángel Di María and Radamel Falcao, Rodgers has been asked to incorporate and improve players from a lower level. The difference in approach is apparent in their respective results, with United outperforming their northwest rivals, despite finishing 20 points below them last season.

“I think the club is in a different place to others, but that is something that I accept as part of my job here at Liverpool,” Rodgers said. “I will always fight for the club and the people to try and make us the best that we can possibly be. The club have employed someone who, without being arrogant, believes he can get the best out of a senior player or youth player. He will always maximise talents that he has and I think last year proved that.

“I know exactly where we are at. Of course there is a little frustration in terms of where we were for a couple of years and where we built it, too, and we are sort of starting again really. I will take the responsibility for that. Last year, of course when you do so well, it’s the players, and rightly so. The recruitment is good, everything in the club is good.

“When you’re doing not so well, it’s the manager, and that is football, so you learn to deal with that. I’ve got to find a way with the squad of players, and the players we don’t have that are injured, to find a way to release our talent and our football again. That’s driving me on every single day and I won’t be happy until I get that again.”

The previous time Liverpool’s team bus pulled into the Old Trafford car park, those on board scented blood but also glory. United, demoralised and downtrodden, were there for the taking and so too, it seemed, was the league title. Tomorrow, just nine months after that unforgettable afternoon, Rodgers and his players will alight the coach at the same venue looking to stem their own bleeding. The hunter has become the hunted.

“The last time? What month was it — March? We would have been flying at the time,” Jordan Henderson said. We were going there with a great belief that we could win the game and we did.”

That was then, but this is now. The excitement of spring has gone, packed off with Luis Suárez, and been replaced by the harshest of winters.

Fourteen points separated the teams after their previous meeting, a 3-0 win by Liverpool that enabled them to move farther ahead of their great rivals and close in on Chelsea, the leaders. A month later, David Moyes was sacked. This time around it is Rodgers’s position that will come under increased scrutiny should United exact their revenge and establish a ten-point advantage over the Merseyside club in the process.

The prospect of seeing their season unravel at Old Trafford of all places is enough to strike fear into the most ardent Liverpool fan. Henderson, though, views it as an opportunity to be grasped. “You can’t go in with that mentality,” the midfielder said. “You can’t go in and say if we lose, it’s going to be even worse. If we go there and win the game then, all of a sudden, it changes.”

Best piece of defensive work we have seen from Brendan in 3 years

Courtesy of swipe on ynwa forums
 
Not enough time coaching the team is a terrible excuse.
Shitty transfers is the core of the problem.
The reason for the great season last season was because we had 2 top players banging in goals and creating lots of chances.
We lost our best player and our second best player has been largely absent.
100m+ for no noticeable improvement.

Yes, that must be the third time this season he's mentioned lack of coaching time. It's worrying because unless the club slides backwards he'll never have more coaching time than this, and obviously he's not had an impact on the defence, at least a positive impact, when he had loads of coaching time, so he probably needs to drop that excuse pronto.
 
He's had 2 and a half YEARS to coach the defence to defend corners and free kicks with fuck all progress - we look like Fred Karno's army every time!!

Whoever suggested to solve it would be to stick Johnson at CB and Jones in goal against arguably a team in must win game needs to go with him...

Feck me can it get any worse?
 
You just can't help yourself.

Happier to get an opportunity to have a go at the manager than if you'd had to endure a victory thread.

- What are you doing Rafa?
- #Brendanou... oh nothing...
 
Well, its a bit difficult. You want to give him time. But we spent 110 mill this summer and look horrible. Really horrible.
2,5 years and we still cant defend.

I'm losing patience. But it might save him that we cant get a decent manager mid season.
 
Ok, so now it's pretty obvious that this season is a write off and we've no chance at 4th with the current manager/player combo. But what do FSG do? The only foreseeable way out of this is a new manager (now or at the end of the season) and heavy investment. With us being restricted by FFP and the big teams not, is it possible they could spend their way out of it? We need heavy investment to get a squad capable of challenging, as this one can't. We need a new keeper, CB, DM, CM, striker etc, and not just average ones for the future either.
I think we needed to get into the champions league this season more than last season, but now we've blown that, it might be a bridge to far to catch Chelsea, city, Arse, scum financially.
I suppose we could get bought by arabs, spend bazillions on us, and opt of of the champions league for a few years because of the penalties of breaching every year, but apart from that, I think we might be in a bit of trouble.

Another option is, and I know it's not one you're going to like, is selling Sterling for the good of the team. Get someone who's not utterly clueless with the money to rebuild of the back of it.

The place has turned into a bagful of bellends. I keep dipping my hand in to grab a peach and all I keep coming up with is a bellend! You know what I mean? Don't worry you're a peach - That why I replied to you.

As we both know there is nothing worse than a bagful of bellends.
 
We do need to sack Rodgers butI don't think we need too many new player just a way of playing this suits our players...For example don't play along the floor to a keeper who can't do it, don't have2 cb's who don't work together well, don't havea midfield two who can't add anything...

These are simple things, well I think they are..

We do need a player who ca score a fucking goal...

Right so I am now to blame for the ills and woes of our beloved football club..

You may probably find SCM is shite these days, because the club we support and love, is beyond shite.. There is nothing on the field that sparks debate other than the manager is this and the club is that..

It's beyond wank...

A forum is about being able to discuss and speak out..

Ok so I harp on a bit at times, but who doesn't? ..

No-one is saying you're to blame for the ills and woes of the club. People are saying you need to take responsibility for how your constant repetative posting is affecting the forum. A forum which yes, is about discussion and speaking out, but that's not what you're doing. You're not discussing anything, you're just repeating the same views, almost the same exact post, day after day after day. It is fucking mind-numbingly dull to come on and read the same people posting the same thing all the time.

I understand what your position is on the manager. I understand why you have that position. I appreciate how frustrated and exasperated you must feel but give it a rest in terms of posting please?

You and Modo following each other around the forum liking each others posts like two little saps says it all really.
It's the constant winding up of people that grates.
Your not as bad as Modo for it but it's one of the main reasons why most of our top posters don't even bother anymore.

All the good ones know what I think of them as I meet up with them pretty often. Sadly those 'goodies' have mostly deserted the site. I do enjoy reading a select few so I guess I will always be around as long as they are.

And really 'LOL'? How old are you? Eleven???
