Brendan Rodgers

[Destruction]

Won't happen, the Benitez period is over and only the Liverpool fans with tainted glasses would believe it's a good idea to go back.

He's just gone top of La Liga tonight, I think you might be right cha.

 

[Blitzballer]

Gone all the way to ET with a league 2 side

 

[johnnytodd]

Keith Curle could be a good replacement

 

[Christian Slater]

Aspas scored twice against Barca tonight, one a delicious chip. Amazing what a player can do when the Rodgers stink is off them.

 

[johnnytodd]

if they lose this he will be sacked

YNWA- You'll never win again.

Gone all the way to ET with a league 2 side

To be fair, we can't laugh too much at that scenario.

Brendan, I fear is David Moyes' doppleganger' ~ Moyes and his 4-6-0 formation at Everton I mean.
It seems a fair few 'up-an-coming' Brit coaches went the same route.
Token forward, who played channels ~ but the thrust and goalscorers came from midfield seemed his ideal.
Ballobonkers, lone striker
Lambert~~ now Ings~~ lone striker.
The Barca formula or syndrome, I think. Without the quality or guile.
Liverpool were supreme with dual strikers. Sturridge achieved wonders alongside Suarez and a lesser midfield.

Under Brendan, Liverpool seem to have decided that midfielders being crucial, the 'lone striker' being a target cone is acceptable.
Any opposition that floods midfield denies Brendan's basic philosophy.

Carlisle knew that last night.And proved it.~~~

Brendan is pouring good players through his fingers like grains of sand by his sad and non-Prem philosophy.
His stubborness.

Perhaps his divorce, his son's problems ~ his 'make-over' - his new style ,his new teeth, his new hair, his new 'trophy girlfriend' his "Hello" type graduation ~~~perhaps that diverted him from his job ?

Who knows ? But what remains basic is his aversion to twin strikers, his reliance on midfield, his inabilty to relate to the Kop.
They made it to "Hello"~~~so who are the Kop?~~~seems his mantra.

He must go.

 

[The Iron]

He knows he was lucky last night.

You don't need to be a die-hard Liverpool fan or footballing genius to see that Liverpool's squad is a bit incoherent, a bit confused, unbalanced, call it what you like. But that's what happens when you get multiple different people all buying different players of different types.

Sacking Rodgers isn't going to be a silver bullet to all woes. Building a balanced squad takes the patience to give the manager, Rodgers or Ancelotti or whoever, the freedom to design and build his recruitment strategy, and then a good few transfer windows and a lot of money (for Liverpool's expected standard),

Funnily enough Man United have exactly the same problem, but seemingly just a bit more money to help gloss over it. And the next Thierry Henry, of course....

Liverpool need 3 world class players to make the top 4. its just a question of spending 150m.

 

[merseyboyred]

I disagree. If we added 3 world class players to this squad we should be at least challenging for the league. Not many teams in this league have 1 world class player, let alone 3...

omg

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

He has a point. They challenged for the league a couple of years ago, when Suarez was their only real world class player.

You could say that about all 20 teams though no?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I don't see how that's so farfetched, add 3 world class players to the Villa squad and we'd be challenging for the champions league ffs.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Guzan
Hutton Richards Pique Amavi
Gana Fabregas
Traore Grealish Sinclair
Ibrahimovic

I'd expect that team to finish in the top 4 minimum, and for argument's sake I've not used Messi/Ronaldo.

 

[johnnytodd]

i couldn't find 3 better than we already have...so

 

[JimJams]

So you expect to challenge for the league title.

Huh??? Is this serious? That team looks rubbish. Maybe if Villa had Messi / Ronaldo / Suarez up front then they could have a chance towards top 4, but definitely not with that side you posted.

Give Everton 3 world class players and they'd be sold the next day to pay for the floodlights. ..

Good article here on Rodgers by Jonathan Wilson. Probably doesn't add much that hasn't already been mentioned in this thread but I thought it was interesting.

Yes it is. I know it's rubbish, but with Pique in defence, it'd seriously sure it up, alongside Richards a decent player in the centre. Fabregas would be the playmaker, Ibrahimovic would score a load of goals. Obviously injuries would fuck it all up, but it is a good side.

He's hyperlinked the words you prune.
