'Cheeky' bid in January should bring him 'home'.

Agent Coulson

Come on every one knows Rodgers is full of hiperbole when it comes to talking about football.

Does anyone really take anything he say in press interviews seriously.

Nah lets all just become massive Barca fans and hate everything Real Madrid does.

Flanagan is a dying breed of footballer that wears the black boots and loves a crunching tackle.

Love this, we have definitely lacked his aggression this season.

And change our names to "SirGallagherisGod", "TurtyturdisGod", and so on.

Goal, goal, goal!

I'm on board.

No, the little white lines just give the boys more alertness and confidence. Going to need it at the weekend.

Have to say, disappointed Charlie19 didn't thank this.

I really don't see Flanno on the training pitch, doing a Ronaldinho. I'd be fairly certain he's aware of his limitations. That's probably one of his main strengths.

Bet you Gary Neville secretly loves him

Similar players - limited but dogged. If he continues to progress then I'd imagine Flanno would be a fantastic guy to have in the dressing room

****ing hell. The side he picked put in a credible performance, and one that was much improved from the previous Saturday. "Magnificent" is absolutely a bull**** and wrong word to describe it however. Echoes of "famous" victories in Turkey tbh...

Not when your playing the european champions at their home ground. He said the players played magnificent. Had he said very good I dont think you could argue. Managers, especially Rodgers, do exaggerate a bit. Of all the things to get annoyed about this is not one of them.

I remember when he scored against Real Madrid and United in the space of a few days, and people lost their minds.

He's useless though in fairness.

Sir Gallagher

Dossena was brutal, some people remember him for scoring against Madrid and Utd. I remember him being schooled by none other than Paul McShane in a 2-2 draw at home to the mighty Hull.

A truly enigmatic player, that is, it's a fcking enigma as to why he ever played for this football club.

I wish him well.

You should stick to posting about LFC and block those you do not like. Seriously.

When you post snide remarks about people you really come across very poorly. I think your a decent poster and make some very valid points but this kind of attitude really hurts the thread.

As you can see I'm not exactly the first person to comment on the matter, so not sure why you decided to pull my post up, I'll agree that it's not great reacting in a tit for tat manner but what can I say, it winds me up the sheer pettiness of stuff posted in a bid to slate our manager, it's very hard not to bite when it seems so constant, day in day out type of thing. I do try to refrain believe me.

I see your point Alan, I particularly liked the part where you expanded on your solid introduction of repeating one word Rodgers said in a media interview, with a rolleyes

"Slightly above average" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

You need to stop believing everything you read. This is some pretty standard PR.

Knex. wrote: »

It was better than the crap we had been producing before. Great, no. But everyone was expecting a hammering. Sure, that should never be a position Liverpool are in, but its reality.

How we progress from this is what matters. The Madrid game has given cause for some optimism in that the manager and the players can do just this.

You seem to be completely disregarding this in order to maintain your stance that we weren't great.

He's in my bad books already, the pen he missed at the weekend cost me an accumulator (4 teams), I just knew he'd miss because of the curse of my money on it.

Maybe its just coincidence but it seems like you have given out more than others about posters. If that isn't the case I do apologise.

Jaysus PD, i don't know why you included my post in that. I haven't said a thing about the manager needing to be sacked, in fact i am on record as having voted in favour of him joining, in a poll on this forum , if you wish to look for it.

If there are posters annoying you with their posting style, you are free to use the ignore function at any stage. I have done it and found it helped at times. If it includes me, thats ok too.

I agree with Nukacola, when you post on Liverpool it's normally insightful but giving out about how others post doesn't add to the thread so i have more or less stopped because of that.

Anyhoo, take care:)

I like that you called me PD that's a first, wp on that.

As for the rest of your post, I just included anyones post who commented in relation to what Alan posted, just to highlight the point that I was not alone in dragging the thread 'off topic' if you will, it definitely was not anything to do with you wanting BR sacked or anything along those lines.

Edit : After re-reading my post I can see how you might have come to that conclusion, I didn't sort out the quotes that well, I was replying to what Nuka Cola posted to me.

If anyone's watching Origi tonight some feedback would be appreciated. Interested to see how he handles himself over here.

You misunderstand me. I wasn't pulling you up on dragging the thread off topic, just on your general posting on posters you dont agree with. I know others have done it, and it is wreaking this thread. Its unreadable, i hate to use posters as an example but as I have already quoted you here are a few other examples from a few days ago below.

Pilsbury Doughboy wrote: »

Fair play to Mr.Alan, he has done a solid 24 hr shift since yesterdays defeat, I wouldn't dare accuse him of only posting when Liverpool lose, just glad to see his thirst for posting has returned.

We're all pissed off with how we're playing and with some of BR's selections/tactics/signings, some of us are just a bit more vocal about it seemingly.

Pilsbury Doughboy wrote: »

Well spotted, now I'll move onto you, the non attention seeker who doesn't absolutely batter every tiny little in joke over and over and over again in a very sad attempt at gaining thanks. In fairness to Alan and Lloyd they provide some content in their posts even if their style isn't to my taste, you sir contribute diddly, apart from petty digs at Utd and Arsenal, cheap pops at BR and Stevie G, and pathetic attempts at humour.

Bring Louie Home, The Rodgers, Moses Gags, Aspas Corners gags, Sakho/Cissokho gags etc etc etc TIRED AND TESTED material. Though you'll have a couple of buddies that have your back and thank it, obv as long as you thank their posts.

If Rafa was getting the criticism Rodgers has they'd be defending him.

Hangballlouie

It's poxy how people keep pulling Alan and Lloyd up for their posts. Just block them if you don't agree, or how about ingore them? It's what I do with posters I don't wanna read, or I'll try have a laugh with them.

Regarding Alan and Lloyd, they haven't called for Rodgers to be sacked, in fact I think I'm the only one who has truly said I would replace him with Rafa tomorrow. Majority don't agree with me, and that's fine. It's my opinion!

I hope I'm wrong about how this season will pan out and will admit if I'm wrong, and I really really hope I'm wrong.

It is how a discussion forum works. If we all had the same opinion then boards.ie would be an awful place.

Dragging the thread off topic, reacting to Alans post, same sort of thing, I said earlier that I'm guilty of biting, probably too often, that's even whilst refraining loads of times. I suppose as others have suggested to me then you could use the block function on me.

Best to get off this topic I'm sure people are wound up reading it.

Rafas interviews used to be terrible, every week he'd say the same thing, 'skwad' 'kwality' 'mentality', towards the end it was farcical.

Id have finnan right back all day!

I always felt Finnan was under rated. In the home game in the CL v Porto in 2007 Carragher was getting schooled in the first half, Finnan saved him, and us, at least 3 or 4 times in the first half. Porto could have been out of sight but for Finnan covering our CB's who couldnt handle it that night. As it happened we got to HT 1-1 and got 3 in the last 15 mins. We could easily have been out of the comp before Christmas that year instead of getting deep in the competition.

He as good as paid for himself that night.

As opposed to 'the group', 'outstanding', 'the boy', etc?

All managers spout a load of pony, getting caught up with press conferences or interviews after the game is a complete waste of time.

5starpool wrote: »

I guess you could say they're similar! Or maybe all managers do a fair amount of jive talking, so no need to get in a tizzy over what's being said.

Reading too much into after match interviews or interviews in general can be bad for your health.

Pilsbury Doughboy

Just decided to have a look at some classic Rafa interviews, this was a good one.

Harry Palmr

Jasus Lille play the least creative, most inert long ball 4-3-3 that I've ever seen.

How did Origi play? Get any chances?

Harry Palmr

Hardly a sniff to be honest, the balls played in are just far too predictable - no point lumping in a diagonal that sails past, over or too close to a defender. That side is screaming out for a Coutinho type in behind the strikers.

Started on the left wing at the start anyway. Stopped watching so wasn't sure if he was moved after that.

It's hard to look that good for Lille up front. They just don't score many goals. Just 9 in 12 league games. Joint lowest in Ligue 1 even though they are mid-table.

Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers expects the sack if he gets big calls wrong..

Brendan Rodgers has said he will pay with his job for too many wrong calls as Liverpool manager but maintained his team selection at Real Madrid did not fall into that category. He also flatly denied that seven changes at the Bernabéu represented an acceptance of defeat against the reigning European champions.

Classic "anti-nuance" stupid headline, all managers get the sack if they keep getting the big
decisions wrong. I see Gerrard had a hammy scan before the game.

why can't we play like this again?? the mind boggles... players running and creating space in midfield and offering themselves for the pass from the defence...what has gone wrong??
