I'd say Rodgers himself is amazed he is still in the job. Following the stoke disgrace he had the look of a guy who thought he was done. The presser following that game had an air of doom about it.

Again, following the Carlisle sludgefest, not showing up for the press and on Fri talking in a resigned tone about possibly not being at the club etc, there was that same air that the end was nigh.

He is still in charge, and all of a sudden talking himself up big time. Maybe he has been reassured from above or maybe it's the last sting of a dying wasp so to speak.

Interesting times ahead.

The only interesting thing is seeing so many Liverpool "supporters" become bitter about the manager being still in charge

I ain't bitter, just speculating like everyone else on here.

Kids back in the 90's 00's supported Celtic as a second club because it was the Irish thing to do. Its boll9x.

Yeah, I'm sure you have a much more valid reason for supporting Liverpool than any random Irish person does for supporting Celtic. Having a go at people for not being tribalistic and purist enough for your liking is pathetic. It's literally none of your concern if people want to support two teams who play in different countries, in different leagues. Loads of the people on this thread follow LOI teams, too. Is that mad? I know you like having a pop at them too.

You're a very, very, very, very bad poster. Posting. You are bad at it. A bad thread contributor. Bad at this thread and the posting of posts therein. Please try to get better at the thread by not posting bad posts in it.

So most of the fans are bitter and are not real 'supporters' because they want Rodgers out?

Would you expect him to be triumphalist after a 6-1 defeat and doesn't he have every right to also fight his corner.

I don't know what people expect him to do when interviewed to be honest.

Once?

Started first game against Stoke
Started second game against Bournemouth

Everyone slated Rodgers for not playing Moreno

Started third game against Arsenal
Started forth game against West Ham
Started fifth game against Man Utd
Started sixth game against Bordeaux

Benched for Norwich
Benched for Carlisle
Benched for Villa

So thats 6 games he has started and during a spell where everyone wants the manager sacked.

Now maybe you mean he deserves to be tried in the center and that I would agree. But Sakho Skrtel Lovren and Toure are all better options right now while we try to get consistency.

I don't expect anything from anyone, I am just expressing how I thought his demeanor betrayed possible insecurities about his position. Feel free to read into what I said to suit yourself. Tis all the one to me.

WTF you on about bad poster?? Yea because my posts arent just mindless jerk fests like yours. Give over. At least I have an opinion and Im not afraid of people disagreeing with me.

As for the LOI stop lying. See this is more boll9x lying that goes on in here. Dont agree with the couple of circle jerkers and they make stuff up. I dont ever have a go at the LOI lads.

Getting onto me about having an opinion and then attacking my opinion. sad

Not at all but your criteria for whether he is a good coach is wrong. Totally ignoring the job he has done with the players he inherited and his 2 most successful buys. He deserves to be turfed out but give the man some bit of credit. It's ok ya know to want him out and say some redeeming things about him, you can still keep your I HATE RODGERS membership:pac:

You have said yourself you have criteria for when you think a manager should go. You have said here somewhere (can't be arsed to look it up) that if Rodgers is in position X by Christmas you think he should be sacked. I'm assuming you wanted Hodgson sacked before he actually was (perhaps not, but that's what an assumption does).

Does that mean that you aren't a supporter if at any point you think the club should change manager? Were you a supporter when you (probably) wanted Hodgson gone?

We know what supporter means, it means we want the best for the club. If you somehow think that it means we blindly follow everything to do with the club, players, manager, then it is you who are incorrect, once again, in your definitions. We support the club as an entity, not individuals.

Magico Gonzalez

Is Sahko still the second coming or have we realised that we hyped him to bits simply because Rodgers wasnt picking him and it was an easy way to have a go at the manager?

He's pretty average. Not terrible, but like all our defenders prone to mistakes, occasionally beaten too easily but capable of really decent performances.

The worst of this committee nonsense has been the failure to bring in a realiable cb. What should have been a comfortable win was once again undermined and jeopardised by weak defending. Can was simply awful for his goal. Lovren-esque. He is not a CB.

Disappeared? It's a ****ing forum, I don't need to be actively posting 24/7. I had some real life stuff to look after, apologies for not seeking your permission to go offline.

I've posted here consistently for over a decade. Through highs, through lows, through awesomeness and through averageness.

If it seems like maybe over the last while I only post when we're doing poorly...maybe it's because we've been consistently doing poorly for pretty much 18 months?

Do you think that if we're in the same situation I'll be calling Rodgers a scumbag and completely defiling everything he has done at the club?

No, I will say his time is up and be thankful for the work he has done. And until that day comes I will still be supportive of him.

I won't be foaming at the lips in anticipation of a bad result so it means he will be sacked. Right up until the end the man will have my support in the hope he can turn it around.

Is that OK for you and the rest of the thread?

He's hardly put a foot wrong since his introduction back into the team. Sakho is a really good player, one of the better CBs in the league. The team has never been coached well defensively but bar a few misplaced passes and poor touches he's been a very good player for us. I'm happy to have him in the starting line up for years to come.

Very few people are doing this. The implication that Tipsy was replying to implied lots of us were not real supporters by the use of the words "so many" and double quotes around the word supporters. Most of us who think that it is time for a managerial change have not come to this conclusion lightly, and the implication by Mr H that we are less worthy supporters is an insult to us.

SlickRic

Ok folks, it's been getting ridiculous.

Cut out the sniping, sly digs, betting, goading, etc. It's honestly not funny and it's not cool.

We're never all going to get along all the time. We're not going to agree all the time. But we can be civil. We can disagree, debate, argue and such without all the shíte.

This bollocks stops now, or people are going to get punished.

And it's not all one person, before many of you start pointing the finger.

Stop the penis measuring, and get on with posting normally.

I fancy us to draw with Everton.

I'm happy he's there too but Saturday wasn't a good game for him.

Not trying to imply you are less worthy a supporter. I just said "supporters" trying to justify why some of us look like we are blindly backing the Rodg

Piece on Firmino.

TL:DR - Play him as a second striker.

Would rather play two proper strikers and have Firmino behind them.

He played 5 or 6 games, not once, that's called giving him a chance.

That is a stat that wouldn't exactly fill you with confidence going into the derby at the weekend. Rodgers is playing a risky game with some of the quotes he came out with at the weekend hyping himself up, I'd imagine if we lost to Everton there will be a huge backlash, especially if the performance is poor.

Rodgers go at his critics are from somebody who knows he may be gone?

Osmosis Jones wrote: »

Apparently that won't get the best out of him - play him off Benteke with Coutinho behind them.

If Sturridge gets injured, I'd be interested to see how that (Benteke & Firmino) would work.

Osmosis Jones

To me this is our best lineup:



Benteke for Ings possibly.

BR found his voice again I see. Where was all this after the Carlisle game?

Nothing to get upset about if we are being honest. I find it funny though that after a brutal result you send out Gary Mc and after a good one you cant get him to shut up.

We will likely go and lose out next match now. Happens virtually every time.

If the owners don't sack him, then fair enough. Can only back him and hope that results become a lot more consistent.

Just wish he would keep his mouth shut after a win.

One of the better CBs in the league is wishful nonsense frankly.

Frankly, watch the games. He really should have got up to that ball for the 2nd goal, his distribution is good but he is gung ho in defence, he is not a great communicator or organiser and frankly, really really frankly, I can only think that someone who believes he is amongst the best in the league has an axe to grind and not capable of being remotely objective.

You think he should have won the header on Villa's second goal?

Gestede had a massive run on him, the cross was perfect and let's not forget Gestede has scored the most headed goals in England's top 4 leagues over the past 2 seasons. No CB in the league was stopping him from getting to that ball.
