Alberto should play. We need someone in midfield to create chances, and it's not gonna be Moses or aspas

So in the Premier League, at least, there is a boost for a short honeymoon period and then performance dips back – and indeed slightly below the level that it was before the club changed manager. Between 12 and 18 games after appointment, the points’ benefit of changing manager has vanished, suggesting that on average there is only a short-term gain and a longer-term negative effect of changing manager.[/article]

According to Dutch economist Dr Bas ter Weel:"Changing a manager during a crisis in the season does improve the results in the short term," he says. "But this is a misleading statistic because not changing the manager would have had the same result."
Ter Weel analysed managerial turnover across 18 seasons (1986-2004) of the Dutch premier division, the Eredivisie. As well as looking at what happened to teams who sacked their manager when the going got tough, he looked at those who had faced a similar slump in form but who stood by their boss to ride out the crisis.
He found that both groups faced a similar pattern of declines and improvements in form.
While Ter Weel's research focused on Dutch football, he argues that this finding is not specific to the Netherlands. Major football leagues in Europe, including England, Germany, Italy and Spain also bore out the same conclusion - teams suffering an uncharacteristic slump in form will bounce back and return to their normal long-term position in the league, regardless of whether they replace their manager or not.[/article]

The Diggler is back !!!!
3-0. Kuyt to score a hattrick.
What would you say if you were Rodgers to try and motivate the team for this? Anything special? more envelopes?
I hope the players, Gerrard especially, are right up for this and treating it like a big match. There are no excuses, it's not March or December when we're looking at the table ruing missed chances or our early season form. We need to batter Sunderland and march on if we want to see champions league football next year.

Yes, a big part of the manager's role is to motivate the troops, but if simply showing the current table standings to the team, and pointing out that 3 points at the Stadium of Light keeps us close to the top pack isn't enough motivation for some players, then it's the players themselves.
We must win this game - it's a must win. The league this year is WIDE OPEN and this is precisely the time we need to make a push ... This is precisely what Rafa did with Valencia - the big boys had struggles, and his teams pounced.
Exactly, and what usually happens when we have to or are supposed to win a game?
Yeah, I think we'll win but I'm fucking bricking it.
inshallah
Indeed
Where did the maggoty cock thingy go.
Liverpool To win 4-0(post justification)
