Yeah, the scum, they held back Hodgson.

Everyone knew Hodgson was completely out of his depth very early on.

Are 99% of the fans on here not plastic fans by the true definition or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the phrase?

Not just on here and not just this club 99% of all fans that support PL leagues teams are plastic fans.

Unless I too am misunderstanding the term and it has changed.


But then opinion doesn't matter unless you are a match going fan to some people.

Didn't mention last years signings. Sakho I think will do well. The rest have been moved on & Ilori hasn't played for us yet.

If they're still ahead of us at the end of the season then post this. They're on a good run we're on a bad one. If you think they're a better team or big sam is a better manager you're insane.

Fake fans. Maybe fickle would have been a better word.

Fans happy to enjoy last season but as soon as things go bad they are moaning and negative wanting the manager gone.

Afaik you've wanted him gone quite a while even when we were flying and tbh I respect that far more than someone who just jumps on the Rodgers out bandwagon.

Klopp is far from mediocre he is a proven winner.

He has had deal with all his top players being poached from him by his biggest rivial while still being there main competition for the last number of seasons.

The Bundesliga is,nevertheless,a much weaker league than the Premiership. Dortmund is a huge club in terms of support and financial turnover but Klopp ,as a manager, has yet to prove himself.

I loved last season, it was bonkers, but I always knew how I felt really about Rodgers. I'm aware it can come across as a mental point of view, but From the start of the season I've said I think we should move him on but even now I still want him to prove me wrong.

After tomorrow we have a fantastic run in the league where our next really difficult game is Everton away in February. He should pick a system, stick with it and ride it out. Winning games changes peoples opinions, but he hasn't won enough this season to keep the list of fans calling for his head from growing.

I don't blame Rodgers for always dropping him after seen this.

plastic fans??????
grow up.....
im one of the lucky ones who gets to head across every week..yes home and away...
but I know loads and loads of people who have chosen Liverpool to be their so called team since 86.....and im 38!!!! so they have experienced good and bad times!
don't insult the vast majority please...
ive held my speak over the last few months...but feck this...Brendan is without any question the man to lead us forward! sure he has made mistakes, but don't forget rafa needed didi to lead us to the best night of my life...sounds like a soft porno.....but its true.....don't forget the first 45 in 05!!!!
Brendan almost lead us to the promised land last season out of no where, he hasn't become a bad manager overnight, the attacking edge has been removed full stop from his team, and that will be put right in time, keep the faith lads and lassies, Brendan knows his stuff...he came awfully close last season to becoming legend...and lets see how it goes when dancing Daniel comes back
he will do for me!

Is there much sign of dissent in the stands? I've heard that the crowd are getting on his back a bit more lately.

Charlie19

Found this while I was having a little snoop and I have to say, while I wouldnt have for voted for Rodgers myself, I still would of thought he would be ranked higher in the poll.

The thread was closed on the 16/12/12.

Shame on the 8% of lads voting for Atilla Jaguar, Where is he now.

So a plastic fan is turning on the manager when going through a bad spell?
Bad spells last 6/7 games, not half a season.

aye a wee bit.... its all down to sheer frustration....we played like a dream team for the second half of last season...for one reason above all... pace!

we don't have it at the moment, but it will return, and those so called fans who want Rodgers out, are the same ones who were comparing him to legends only a few short months ago....
its a thin line between a pat on the back and a kick in the arse!!!!!

give the fella a break, he knows his stuff, and give him a decent chance....

So what if he gets the pace back?

The defence will still be a shambles.

Sakho is at the club 18 months ffs

His signing has been yet another big failure

8/1 for a Liverpool win if you can take advantage of the sign up offer.
Winnings would be paid in free bets though.

the same manager got us within a slip of a league title last season!
and I genuinely think its something that the squad has carried over....
regardless of suarez.....to come that close out of nowhere has to carry emotional baggage ...and that takes time to over come....
look im only giving my opinion, and that is Rodgers is the best thing to happen to my club since Rafa took over, and he needs to be given a decent chance,

im not having a go at anyone whose opinion is different than mine, all im saying is give the guy a chance...:)

Boobs!

Yes, certainly it came out of nowhere. Which might say something...

I kow but he has been injured. He played very well in the first half of last season before he tore his hamstring.

Did you want him sacked when we were a shambles last year?

Is Rodgers going to unearth or buy a player worthh 75 million?

Sakho has only played 21 league games in 18 months. He's never had a sustained run in the team, hard to judge him properly because of that tbh.

Meanwhile Skrtel plays every week during the worst defensive period for the club in decades and he escapes criticism

He cost big money & even fit, he is not a starter. As a transfer, it's been very poor.

18 months into his time at the club is a fair period to pass judgement. It might change, particularly if we get a new manager who is able to coach defenders, but so far it's been very poor.

Now he hardly escapes criticism tbf. While he does like his fair share of wrestling he still cant be blamed on all the other CBs being poor.

So far as a transfer it's been poor but my point still stands. Play him regularly and see how he does.

Remember Lucas and Henderson as two examples of players that took a good while to settle. You were willing to give them time iirc.

Lucas cost £5m & moved from Brazil as a young back up player.

Henderson showed plenty more in his first 18 months than Sakho has.

Henderson only missed 1 league game in his first season and was almost a fulltime regular in his second season. That goes back to my point of playing regularly before judging them.

Surely if the manager who bought him isn't playing him that tells us something about whether or not the transfer is a success?!

Yes, but even when fit the manager seems happy to leave him on the bench
