Just watched the press conference before the game and I'm now fully a believer. He's a great manager. He really knows his shit and believes his shit. Yes. This is the man. I know not everyone wanted him, or liked him that much to begin with, but are we now all on the same page? BR is a proper Liverpool manager, He is the manager we needed.
 
Words can't describe what sort of an impact Brendawg has made on this Liverpool side.
 
Been hearing people saying this sort of thing a fair bit this year 'Look at the Liverpool fans, they wanted Rodgers sacked last season' a lot of it is releated into justifying the Moyes situation.

Its really annoying hearing that shite, obviously there were some not happy but the vast majority were behind him the whole way from what i remember, there was a fair bit of sympathy for the crap hand he was dealt with the situation he inherited and the shit summer window but most could see he had a clear plan and vision for the team and were behind him even during that shit start and even more so after Xmas when it was clear we were getting there and on the right track.

Haha, you have to laugh at the utter dog shit some people speak.

Look at Conor the number 1 fucking idiot in that thread...

I don't rate him. Simple. Seriously average manager in charge of a seriously average team. I don't buy into this thing about them challenging for top 4 next year at all. Gerrard is past it, Carragher is done, Suarez will leave and they will struggle next year imo. @nssmuckers, its the media mate. We've all heard pundits rabbiting on about top 4 when the dippers are there and I swear I nearly choked yesterday when I heard 2 sky sports pundits going on about a top 7. He had to take the loserpool job cos no-one else to my knowledge came calling. I just don't think he is a top manager.


After being recently bumped with a smilie...


@ArnoldTheYid. Stand by my views about Rodgers until he actually wins something. BTW, aren't you he clever one.


So by Conors logic if we finish 2nd by a point then Rodgers is still a seriously average manager in charge of an average team blah blah.
But if we finish first by a point then that will make the major difference to him whether Rodgers and our team are any good or not.

Just LOL at that, its yet another example of someone making themsleves look an even bigger twat by failing to simply hold their hand up and admit they we wrong, in Conors case he was catistrophically wrong on all counts, but still.

Yeah, nobody has called for his sacking, but there were a lot of raised eyebrows after his first 3 or 4 months, and understandably so. I think since Christmas last year when he appeared to be adapting the pass pass pass philosophy and make us more unpredictable most have started to see that he's doing a great job. I also believe he really does his homework on the club's history as well as the footballing side of things. He's made comments that have studious echos of Shankly that reflect his absorption of Shankly's ethos. He impresses me loads.

Well I am happy to admit I was a doubter and I wasn't alone judging by the post match Hull away thread! Take a look, it is an eyeopener to realise how much things have changed in a short period of time. Although we haven't won anything yet, I am happy to admit I was wrong, how could you not when we have been lucky to be a part of this exhilarating football. BR is proving he is up to the job, I do think he talks a bit too much though, he is on Talksport so much at the moment you would think he was a new pundit. Much prefer we did all the talking out on the pitch.
 
He made me cringe like fuck when he got here, and all that stuff doing two hour interviews with fan groups going on about his philosophy while we were getting wellied most weeks gave me the fear. You should show rather than tell, I reckon...

There was no way I believed him, I thought he'd managed to blind FSG with science and charisma to get the job and then carried on when he got here. That portrait in his hall seemed to sum him up.

But now look. He wasn't talking shit. He's fucking boss. We're playing the best footy we've seen since Beardsley and Barnes and we're top of the fucking league in April. He's a fucking master. And unlike with previous people who improved us since then, Ged and Rafa, I'm not getting any negatives at all. With both of them they played some shit players out of position, they'd fall out with players you'd like, they'd try and keep it tight and snatch one on the break and we'd end up nervy as fuck. If Ged or Rafa was in charge tomorrow you would only be able to guess six of the starting line up and we would be playing 1 up front, hoping for a pen after 70 mins or something. With Rodgers everyone knows what the vast majority of the team will be, Fat Sam knows it, he'll have been trying to come up with a plan to stop us all week, but in the back of his mind he knows he's fucked. All our players today will be relaxed and buzzing off maybe scoring six goals. Every single player asked about him says he's ace. And he shags trannies. What's not to love? The lizards need to tie him to the club for decades.

Apparently the players ripped him about the tranny rumours and he just rolled with it, joining in the laughs - total total legend if true ! You can see the players have complete trust in him, and would run through a field of dogshit if he asked.
Good times, in a parallel universe somewhere Hodgepodge is trying to get us into the Championship playoff places
 
I honestly can't remember what I thought of him at, say, Xmas in the first year. I was glad when we appointed him cos I thought he came across well, and he'd done really great things at Swansea, and I was so relieved Dalglish had gone, but it was a really properly slow start. I don't think I was ever close to losing patience, but I did think that progress seemed to be depressingly slow. It seemed like we barely scored any goals those first few months.

But really, he never gave even the most twitchy of us a chance to want him out, because once we got Sturridge and Coutinho in things turned around incredibly quickly. We've basically looked excellent since about January 2013.

I just hope FSG properly back him now, because he couldn't have done more to deserve it.
 
He's done great work and really grown up over the last two years.

However, I worry a lot about signings. The Sturridge / Coutinho is the best we had since Ged's first summer. But he wanted Dempsey, Sigurdsson and last summer we mostly bought players he doesn't play.

It's a mixed bag, because I don't think he has that much control over who we sign, especially since that first summer - you can see that in the players we're going after now as opposed to then - but also because the ones where I suspect he's had least influence - Aspas and Alberto - have probably been the worst of all.
 
But if he'd got his wish we'd have Dempsey and Sigurdsson in the team and probably wouldn't have signed Coutinho or Sturridge. Not sure we'd be doing quite so well.

Yeah, me get you. What I mean is that on the plus side systems are now in place to prevent signings like those, because he has less control. But those same systems also seemed to produce Aspas and Alberto, which are different kinds of bad signings.

I think overall it's a development to celebrate - I'm happy to predict that we'll make good signings this summer - but it's not a totally clear picture.
 
We can also expect to get more of our top targets now that CL looks secure. I've got every confidence in us getting some boss signings this summer.

I'm incredibly grateful to the work he's done, gene. But you are right, his instinct on signings has been 50% positive at best. Borini, Alberto, aspas, Iiori, were poor baffling decisions and maybe not all his. Allen may have come good, as well as Coutininho, Studger, Sakho, kolo being good signings. Siggurdsson and Dempsey are wtf signings that raise question marks about his decision making, although though not being in the CL probably means he was going for what he could get.

GED in 2002 and Rafa in 2009 show us how fast a progressive season can be reversed, especially with bad signings. Even Brendan's judgement needs to be checked occasionally.
 
I was in Spain for the whole of last season so I was kind of detatched from it all, and very rarely saw his interviews and Brentisms. I just watched the matches and you could see we were improving, even if we weren't getting the results. It was quite refreshing. I never wanted him out, always knew we were going the right way under him, but never ever thought we'd get here this fast.

Ilori will turn out to be a good signing. To early to label it poor regardless imho. Agree about the rest and I think Ming has been a very good signing aswell.

I know, but for me Ilori seems pointless, like Coates to be honest. Ming has been good
