with what liquid sir?
I mean our manager had a longer run of games where he was horrific in setting up the team, and it's almost like that never happened.
Don't think you can hold your players to higher expectations than your manager.
BIN HIM!!!
Done.
You can if he didn't buy him, but it's not like you're gonna quit with you're agenda driven shite, so as you were.
Then, most people know that prior to our shit run earlier in the season, Rodgers had been excellent for a good 18 months. Of course, that's only the belief of everyone who isn't in the Whirly camp of "Suarez carried us". Balotelli on the other hand didn't have the benefit of prior good form, all we had to go off was him team hopping due to his behaviour. Not that I'd expect you to recognise a bit of rationale.
I thought you'd been quiet of late, oh, the manager has been winning. Quelle surprise. See you after the next defeat, where you can retell your Suarez story, again.
You're remarkably good at extrapolating way more than I said.
Fact of the matter is Balotelli was shite, then he was excellent, and you aren't willing to give him an opportunity.
Rodgers was more shite than Balotelli was, for a longer period, and you're head over heels for him after we've turned it around.
Prior to that both were solid. On the balance of a couple years Rodgers a decent manager and Balotelli a decent striker.
I think it's valid to be just as forgiving to your players as your manager if not more so. Tell me why I'm wrong.
To address the other points. Rodgers is successful in 6 month periods. The first half of last season we had very average form, culminating in the 4 CB set up against Southampton. Can't say it was 18 months of success prior, on the balance though I'll concede he was solid.
Balotelli on the same period was an established goal scorer. And all of his behavior issues are obviously exacerbated, that's not the reason Milan sold him so much as to make excuses for their own shortcomings.
Because managers don't go in and out of form, so should be viewed more broadly?
The statement was along the lines of we shouldn't start Balotelli because he was poor for awhile, and we can't treat that as if it never happened.
Feels uneven to me considering how quickly we got over Rodgers leaving a lot to be desired in the first half of the year.
Where the fuck is Gerrard?
Ryan said he only beats people on the halfway line and doesn't make things happen like Lallana and also said he has never scored an important goal for us ever which was proved to be total rubbish too.
Your point was valid his was not.
I think it might be down to the fact that Ryan never admits when he gets something wrong and is always the first to throw the boot into others when they do. He can be one of the worst for dragging up posts from the past to continue to hammer home a point.
If he had turned around and said 'you know what, I was wrong, Coutinho does create as much or more than Lallana, has scored very important goals but Christ I'd love to see him kick on a level or two and become a world beater who scored double figures from midfield' then this debate would have stopped some time ago.
Surprising the examples didn't mention any defensive players so if 'world class' was the primary key in the example.
All Coutinho does is pass
Still has to score them.
How in blue blazes does scoring a peno and a tap in equal the run Rodgers has us on??
Balo has gone from a total waste of space to a decent bench option.
Rodgers has gone from a crisis where we looked doomed to finish outside the top 6 to being the in form team in the league right in the mix for fourth, the favourites for the FA Cup and in pole position to make the next round of the EL.
His passing is one of his worst traits
