You can't remember anyone not giving us a chance of finishing in top 5, yet we had finished outside the top 5 for the four previous seasons.

Of course finishing 2nd when not expected finish in top 4 blew expectations out of proportion.

I reckon there must have been a few not expecting us to finish in top 5 whether you remember it or not is irrelevant, fact is it was unexpected.

You wrote off last season yet you are judging him on last season...

You think he should go which is fine. I understand your view but don't agree with it.
I think he should be given the season as there's no point letting him buy players and then bring someone else in and expect miracles.

You don't have to agree with me but I have no interest in reading you contradicting yourself.

I said a lot of people would have expected to challenge for top 4/5 despite earlier seasons. BR had his year of settling in. Suarez was scoring. Sturridge had settled in lovely for the second season.

My expectations of last season was challenge for top 4 which we didn't. I wouldn't call those expectations out of proportion.

I'm sure there was. I never said otherwise. As I'm sure there were many expecting a top 5 finish as I already stated.

I wrote off last seasons finish due to what we had done in his second season. I thought that maybe it was just one bad season. However we have continued this season the same way. Write off doesn't mean I completely forgot what happened, just that I didn't necessarily want him replaced at the time.

I'm not contradicting myself at all, your just not getting what I'm saying for whatever reason.

I dont want to get into a debate why I want him gone because I posted them enough already. Bottom line is I think he's a good coach but I dont think he'll get us to where we need to be.

5starpool

Us finishing where we did in recent seasons (apart from the obvious) was as a result of us underachieving, not of us finishing where we should have based on our squads and money spent.

Hangballlouie

The new fella reminds me of someone. Can't put my finger on it yet.

I didn't say everyone expected us to finish outside top 5. I said because we finished outside the top 5 the previous four seasons it was unexpected for us to nearly win the league.
Your right though, Rodgers had us playing well the second half of the season before.

We're only 7 games in.

I never said top 4 was out of proportion but neither was finishing outside of top 4 out of proportion but because we nearly won the league the season before it was for some. These were my original points and valid ones.

Stop arguing for the sake of trying to be right.

"Pulling an Arsenal", I believe the term goes.

mav79

People go on about having four teams ahead of us that earn and spend more than us so we are not doing too badly finishing 5th. Well I've no problem if we lose to the Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal as long as we play our best and put up a fight. My problem is losing to the teams that have nowhere near Liverpools spending power. Which is happening week in, week out.

"I wish I’d met Brendan when I was 24 because I think I’d be sitting here talking about a lot of titles that we’d won together. The reality is, Brendan came into this club when I was 32 years of age and it's a shame that relationship didn’t start 10 years ago." - Stevie G

I'm convinced.

Agent Coulson

Hmm

"I've never been able to say this in public before but I was seriously concerned that we thought we could blow Chelsea away," Gerrard said in his new autobiography 'My Story'.

"I sensed an over-confidence in Brendan's team talks. We played into Chelsea's hands. I feared it then and I know it now."

I'll start withe the good news. Coz it's shorter.

Jon Flanagan is back training with the first team. Apparently, his knee had to be opened up because no type of scan could tell if it was healing properly. It was but the op delayed his return. He is expected to be fit to appear after the international break.

Now the bad news. Not one person I talked to over thinks Rodgers should stay. Even if missing a 'proper' striker last season was to be used in his defense, he has had most of this season to settle the team and get them playing football and it patently isn't working.

I say that as a supporter of Rodgers appointment but his time has passed. Any more delays will hamper a replacements chances of getting us back on track.

Every person we talked to over was saying the exact same thing. The empty seats at the Sion game is testimony to how the fans are reacting. Huge swaths of empty seats. Never in my years going to Anfield have I seen so many empty seats and talk of handing back season tickets, not just by supporters in their 20s but lads in their 50s and 60s as well.

We wandered up to Anfield on Friday to get a better look at the new stand and were talking to a few working there in different places and all were as despondent as I have ever seen, worse even than G&H days and their jobs on the line.

For the first time ever in Anfield, I heard staff openly criticise the manager. Nobody seems to have an idea of what he is trying to do and seriously doubt that he has the ability to turn it around.

It's one thing to play poor football but get results or play great football and not get the result deserved but everybody feels that the team is getting exactly the results deserved.

No shape. No width. No penetration. No progress. No consistency. No hope. That's the hardest to take, the absolute lack of hope by anyone we talked to that any improvement would take place.

Special mention to the Sion fans, walking in front of them some of the way to Anfield and for 95 minutes of the game, they never stopped singing. And great lads for a bit of craic after as well. 10/10:)

The season is 7 games old...

Great news on Flanagan though.

Reading threads on boards is hard work the last few days, but it's annoying tonight especially when I refresh the page and find out it's on page 155 instead of 157.

How would that be relevant to Flannos injury?

Francie Barrett

Love Gerrard for what he has done, but this autobiography just came far too soon.

Buford T. Justice XIX

About 20% of the league games gone.

At what % do you think we can get an accurate assessment of where the season is likely to go?

Agent Coulson

100%

Rodgers out!

I'm beginning to think Rodgers is right, there is an unjust over reaction to our league games so far. I can't judge us in Europa league when we play 2nd string.
Stoke:we were great and a 0-0 would have been fine

Arsenal: We should of won game by half time but for our finishing, great control in 2nd just like Stoke game.

West Ham: That is where the over reaction begins and people start to panic. It was a freak result, we did dominate that game but were hit on break. I think it was 3 shots on target and 3 goals for West ham.

Man U : What a game to follow a bad result, we usually lose there anyway. The way we played was wrong, but we out played them once we went behind and could have been 1-3 ahead when Gomez gifted them the game. Our poor finishing in the period after they score let us down, again.

Norwich: Very much like the Villa game, we should of won 5-1. A freak goal by Norwich gets them the point. We played ok though.

Villa: Best we played . If that is to continue then happy days. It should of been 6-2. Finally 1.5 years later we have functional strikers.

Away to Everton, Spurs, and Chelsea in next 4 games. We knew before a ball was kicked that this was the toughest start to a season we have ever seen. We are suppose to have our new players all working and gelled together by now, not the way it works. Need to ride out this storm and wait for the clouds to break. Rodgers needs till January .

Klopp is the manager we need to sign. I really hope we get him but as always with Liverpool I'm prepared to be disappointed.

Not after 7 of 38 games and we're 4 points off our target, that's for sure.

Hey Smokey did you catch the Bandit when you were in Liverpool?

BorneTobyWilde

Where does it leave us if we beat Everton and play well doing it? Should we throw a good manager to the kerb and try the sound a horse makes when walking on a road?

Everton away
Spurs away
Southampton home
Chelsea away



Next 4 league games.

Rumour has it that said bandit will be in custody early next week, during the international break, and an eye should be kept out for a more accomplished replacement. From just a bit to the east of the country he is currently in, by all accounts. Not as far east as some would like though.

Lots of rumours like that going around, though:(

He said great news on Flanno injury

You said it'll be even better news when Rodgers gets his p45

Thus saying the flanno news would be made better by Rodgers getting sacked.

Unless what you're saying is completely unrelated to flannos injury, well then I'm not sure why you quoted him.

Francie Barrett

Real Sociedad were beaten again today. Imagine that this should mean that Moysie is going to be freed up pretty soon.

Potential Underachiever

Sterling might get a bit of bench time now, hooked at half time today and they go on to smash Newcastle, it'll be a dent to his ego no doubt, let's see how he reacts.

mikeym

Good that Flanno is back but I cant see him breaking into the first team.

A lot of fans have lost patience in Rodgers.

We score the first goal but then we leak in a goal and we have no answer.

Our defense is rubbish Jittery Sakho, Lousy Lovern and Skrtel isnt playing his best football.

Lukaku is going to run the defense ragged tomorrow.
