I'm not gonna lie I am looking forward to his autobiography once he's sacked. What a wonderful piece of fiction it'll be.

I would think now that the only reason Brendan should keep his job is that the replacement isn't lined up and ready to take over.

Getting rid of Rodgers now and getting in Alan Curbishley isn't going to help.

If they can get Klopp then FSG should do everything in their power to get him.

I'd sack him right now and have Gary Mc as interim manager.

Can you explain how you will hit your 25 a day post quota if Rodgers was sacked?



Honestly I find your posts insufferable, that's your posts not you, your obsession with everything Brendan Rodgers is annoying. Also you seem to be giddy because Liverpool lost, must be nice to have the ability to rejoice in victory or defeat.

I await your passive aggressive vague comment about Pilsbury Doughboy meltdowns.....

I also hate the team at the moment.

Moment of magic in Stoke.

Turgid in every game so far.

He is not the right man. He is weak.

Edit: I hate admitting this but I stopped watching after the penalty. I can't remember ever doing that before.

Grayditch

Surprised nobody has come on denouncing all these posts as knee jerk.

Strongbow10

3 man midfield of Lucia Can and Millers. Far too idealistic tactics for personnel like that. No dynamism, pace, creativity or even ball winning ability.

He's flogging Gomez at left full aswell in order to try and look clever.

A good side will be judged by its spine. Ours is Mignolet Skrtel Lovren Milner Lucas (Can, Henderson) Benteke.

There's your issue, it's poor. Benteke is a good player though.

Suarez playing out of his skin 2 seasons back gave this charlatan a rep of being a good manager.

He won't be going anywhere for couple of months though at least

Have to stay off social media for the next while. Utd fans will be in full swinf, and they deserve it too.

Thing is though he's been proved right

colly10

We played a poor united team today, we looked clueless and we're dominated. It's impossible to justify playing Lovren and I can't understand selecting Gomez either, he offers nothing going forward on the left side, give him game time but he's not first choice.
This is Rogers team, he's stuborn and I can't see improvements, time to get rid

The worst part is they don't deserve it, they were shîte as well.

Just not quite on our level of shîte.

All I can think now is its a shame United didn't get another couple of goals because as it stands its going to take something like that to shock FSG into action.

noodler

And please Brendan, before you leave, get ****ing Sakho back in and lovren out.

The man is championship standard.

Well good start to the season completely wasted.

Back to Kenny at the end levels of mediocrity. Big money signings that the manager doesn't know how to use.

Not opposed to a change of manager now at all.

I wouldn't say knee-jerk no, lots of people are raising valid concerns, a lot of ott slagging of BR mind you.

The lack of clean sheets in recent games will surely force Linda's hand in getting her fella to sack The Rodgers.

That's it, he's done. He's not turning this around. I thought Rodgers should have been sacked in May but was willing to give him a chance at the start of the season, but he's learned nothing.

We have scored 3 goals in 4 games. One was offside and the other two were 'worldies', so not one legitimate goal created by team play yet.

I just hope FSG make a move soon, before old Roman gets an itchy trigger figure down Chelsea way.

This is one of the most salient points. Nothing has changed from the end of last season. The team as a creative force is non existent. Those lads talking about how disappointed we will be that he isn't going to get the sack are idiots. I'm not disappointed, I'm ****ing furious. We should expect much better, demand much better, if the owners choose to sit on their hands it is a ****ing disgrace.

It adds nothing to the conversation and the poster it is directed at hasn't engaged you in some time on this thread. A reasonable definition of a poor post imo.

Criticising the youngest player in your team is really brilliant Brendan. Way to go

The only person who gave an actual sh1te on that pitch today for Liverpool was Ings. He was tracking back and always looking for the ball.

Gomez is being set up to fail by Rodgers thus far.

I would play Enrique at this stage, that is an obvious choice if he is fit.

Utopia Parkway

Getting gubbed 6-1 by Stoke was virtually a sacking offence for any Liverpool manager in itself. Got a stay of execution but really does seem like a matter of time now. Just hope the decision isn't delayed so long that the likes of Klopp or Ancelotti will have found jobs in the meantime.

The fact that Rodgers was given an entirely new back room staff before the season though means they'll be given time most likely.

Hello yes Mr. Kloop Tome Werner here wondering if you are still available for the Liverpool job

Your not are you sure

Okay no problem.

Damn we may have to stay with Rodgers. I wonder who else is available

I've always seen myself as one of the more reasonable fans towards Rodgers, but the longer things are like this the clearer it becomes that there was an MVP alright in 13/14, but it wasn't Rodgers.

We were simply blessed when we signed Suarez and it will be a long time before we sign another with his talent and fear factor.

There's no need to rewrite history.

Rodgers came up with the change that got the best out of Luis and Sturbridge, as well as Sterling and Coutinho. Everybody thought he was mad playing Gerrard there.

There is only so long you can dine out on past performance though. All that money spent last season looks wasted and we still look crap attacking wise despite another fortune spent this Summer.

LiamoSail

I don't see any point in sacking Rodgers if there isn't a better replacement available.

Every man and his dog would have Klopp, but should he not be interested, who are the candidates?

LuckyLloyd

Look lads, I'm glad this is approaching its conclusion. We can all move on and hopefully put the absolute nonsense around his time as manager behind us. I am ****ing enraged that he survived the end of last season however. That is utterly indefensible from FSG, and speaks to their inability to make a horse race of this club to the standards we should demand.

SlickRic

We will only ever be a midtable club under Rodgers. He is a fraud.

Some have thought it for a while. Some have known for a while. I have felt it since around the home game against Utd last season.

It wasn't so much the result. I can take some of those. Bad results will happen. Maybe not to the extent of a 6-1 against Stoke or a 0-3 to West Ham. But results like today happen.

What I cannot ignore is the way the team is playing, the way it's set up, the personnel he is choosing, and the positions he's playing many of those personnel in.

Gomez, a youngster bought from Charlton, a CB, now our first choice LB for some inexplicable reason. Not his fault, he's good, he just shouldn't be pit in that situation.

Lovren, first choice, a flop. How does he keep starting?

Ings, played out fúcking wide. The logic? He's fast, so he must be able to play there. Ridiculous.

Milner, shackled on a system that basically accentuates his weaknesses and nullifies his strengths. He's not a MF general. He's Stevie G (in his pomp) light. Play him as such.

I could go on.

But let's be honest. All these players can't be as bad as we're seeing. They can't.

We've scored 3 goals this season. 2 absolute worldies and an offside goal. The team is not functioning with the ball. There are no partnerships (bar maybe Coutinho/Benteke) developing. There is little cohesion, and the identity we had with Suarez/Sturridge/Sterling is gone. We are a nothing team right now in the grand scheme of things.

At one point, Skrtel ran out of defence in the second half, didn't know where to go, didn't know where to pass it, got tackled, and gave out. We look amateur. We don't look coached to attack effectively.

The players also look petrified.

Utd weren't even good today. In fact, they were pretty shíte. We lost a goal because we were unaware and badly coached. We also came onto the field with a fiercely negative approach. We didn't want the ball and had no idea how to use it. And this pattern has been going on for far too long.

I'm a patient man. I'm sometimes fickle. I sometimes knee jerk. But my thinking on Rodgers is not. He is found out.

The owners have a big decision to make in the coming weeks and months. We have good players. There are enough talented players there to make us a good, progressive team. Solidity is needed, as is an identity.

Rodgers is now out of his depth. He wasn't when he had Suarez. But he is now.

I also hate watching us play. It shouldn't be a chore.

But it is.

Brendan Rodgers. You're done.

Do you know what I kind of agree I mean otherwise we could get some one like Hodgsons but we may find someone want a job who might actually gain some respect from this team because at the moment I feel the Rodgers has lost the team

Agh 13/14 was worth having him as manager, clock is ticking now though.

Who though? Klopp aside, who would be both attainable and capable of turning the club around?

Ancelotti's out of work, he could be a possibility, though I'm not sure what his record is like at clubs where he hasn't had significant resources relative to the competition

Form / performances have continued in a straight line from where they finished up. He lost it last year, he should have been sacked.

Ultimately, I have no doubt this is the pinnacle of his managerial career. We are losing nothing by letting him loose, he isn't the man for a job of this stature.
