  1. 1. What do you think of Brendan Rodgers?

    • I despise him
    • even when we were playing great last season, I couldn't stand him
    • he deserves as much credit as anyone for last season
    • he was lucky last season
    • I want him out
    • I hold him responsible for our poor signings this season
    • I have always been embarrassed listening to his interviews
    • he's an excellent manager
    • I love him
    • he gets until at least the end of the season
    • defensively he hasn't a clue
    • last season was down to Suarez
    • I don't mind his chat
    • he overachieved last season
    • he's wasted £100m+ and doesn't deserve another penny
    • he needs backing from the board and money for players in January
    • I trust him to turn it around
    • if we return to playing something close to last seasons football I'll give him another season
    • sack him now, install an interim manager and get simeone, klopp or someone in the summer
    • get rafa now
  2. 2. Should Rodgers be sacked immediately?

The main difference is our defence is largely shit because of idiotic mistakes and poor goal keeping. 

 

That and the lack of a real DM who is a leader and organizer. Look at Matic - imagine how much better we'd be with him in front of the back four.

But we weren't. We played three games, plus a Champions League game against Real Madrid, and conceded two goals with a more conservative style.

I meant mores over the whole of this season than when we went ultra shit and carved out results. We've not really been gung ho all season and it's partly down to us having some misguided notion that we need to follow City and Chelsea's lead and control games, yet the errors still remain. Even when we battened down the hatches we still had plenty of stupid mistakes.

 

It'd take a hell of a DM to stop the defensive rot and Rodgers would much rather a Song type of DM who likes a jaunt up the pitch more often than not.

Sorry, I'm still not buying that. It took a very average DM in Lucas to stop the rot in those four matches.

 

I'm not having that it's about personnel, he's spent fucking bucket loads on defenders. Bar Lovren, who appears to be so shit that he manages to stand out in a Rodgers defensive set up, the rest are good footballers. Skrtel has been part of a defence than conceded about half of what we did last season in the league. Sakho is first choice for France. 

 

I agree we've been less gung ho, but I still think in the main we see more defensive errors because our defenders have more to do than most other defenders. A bigger area to defend because unless we play Lucas, our midfield does fuck all defensively. A bigger area to defend because the keeper is glued to his line. A bigger area to defend because the fullbacks are often 50 yards out of position. Also, because our keeper is shite, more mistakes lead to goals.

 

Swap Skrtel and Sakho for Terry and Cahill, which side do you think has a better defensive record?

Is he meant to be challenging for the prem with Swansea, Watford and Reading?

 

Talk me through it.

 

Lets just say, in cup terms, the early bird dont catch the worm.

 

He did well at swansea, thats it but he is unable to deal with two games a week demands.

 

We are eleventh and if Arsenal beat us in our next game possibly further down.

 

Which leaves very little from his CV to cling to really. The very fact I am reading a manager of LFC who has come here on the back of those mediocre clubs doing nothing remarkable with no sign of anything special doesnt mean he wont win everything with us but theres no record of it having occurred before. 

 

This is just why I dont understand all the blind faith.

 

Oh and we have Mario and Rickie leading the line and no idea when Sturridge is back.

A very good manager who imo we should give the benefit of the doubt for at least the short while.

I agree in many ways its just hard to pick through the clubs faults when much of what goes on is behind closed claws so al give him the benefit of the doubt until the end of the season if he does turn it round it will dispel any notion of the suarez effect clouding his mediocre record with last seasons 'success' (See the Geordie definition) made easier with having only one game a week advantage over our rivals who were shite anyway etc.

 

I will see how the cup runs go along with the league form from here and judge on it, now hes at the bottom will he float back up like a shiny tooth witch or will he sink to the bottom and have eels eating out his eyes and making a home inside his hed with a front entrance through the windows to his soul and make a bed of his rotting brains and a fireplace out of his toothes? If he turns out to float back up then surely you have to credit him.

 

Are the teeth a vanity excercise by an out of depth manager?

I wouldnt be so sure, you point to me what other manager has 2 rows of 24 tactical white boards at the ready 24hrs a day on his own face, strap a mirror on his chin and he's ready to go through all passages of play at once to the players or any prospective transfer target querying 'whats it all abaht Brendrodger?' 

 

Only time can tell and nobody likes a tell tale tat.
