Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015/16 (*EVERYONE READ MOD POST in OP)

When was the last time we played a derby without a player born in Liverpool in the team?

Will Rossiter make the bench for it?

How would people feel if we were to get 10 points from the next 4 games? 3 wins and a draw against Chelsea. Something which I feel is very possible with Coutinho and Sturridge back together.

So the next four league games we have

Everton away
Spurs away
Southampton home
Chelsea away

We took 7 from those 12 last season. If we took the same this season that would leave us on 18 points after 11 games. Not a disaster but still a mountain to climb. Followed by palace at home and city away, both games we lost last season.

After that run I could see us on 20 points after 13 games. If your target is 2 ppg then it's not far off and could be enough to save him, performances depending also.

This is all guess work but gives a good indication of where we could be. I really don't see him surviving to the end of November.

I can only see us getting a point against Southampton in those 4 fixtures.

That's a very very pessimistic prediction but not beyond the realms of possibility right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see 5 or 6 points from the 12.

There's zero chance we only get 1 point from the next 4 games in the league.

A couple of draws in those games and the yoyoing of should he be sacked or keep his job will continue and the club will stay in limbo for another month.

Its pretty simple really, he needs to show now that he can get this team performing again on a regular basis. The game against Norwich and yesterdays game shows that performances have improved.
I think it was a bit premature to say he should have been sacked after just 6 premier league fixtures, just as its premature now to say this team has turned a corner.

I would still say that he should be judged by Christmas and if he has shown enough to suggest that he has turned things around then he should be given to the end of the season, then judged at the end of the season. But anything less than a credible top 4 challenge this season should not be enough.

No there's not. Unlikely yes, 0% chance no.

I think people are being harsh on sakho yesterday. It's near impossible to stop someone running at speed from winning a header. It was just one of them goals.

Agreed. He couldn't really have done too much about it.

Exactly, Gestede had a run on him. Impossible to win a header in that situation , especially against someone who is so good in the air.

The first goal though!!! I wanted to strangle Can for making such a basic, stupid mistake.

The yoyoing that is going on in the media isn't going on at the club by all accounts. The manager has just had a huge vote of confidence from the owners and not the 'dreaded vote of confidence' we so often here about. This one actually involved a new set up and a pile of money. And the players are playing for the manager.
It's easy for us here to debate his suitability to the position but at the end of the day, the money men seem to be behind him. As I said previously, if they suddenly turned around and sacked him this quickly after diving into the club's coffers so recently, I would be seriously unimpressed and think it would be a sign of a much bigger problem.

My original question was more aimed towards peoples opinions on the manager should we pick up 10 points in the next 4 league games.

Since we went on a run again to Villa, we haven't been beaten in the league. We also have a ppg of 3 in that period as well.
My only concern would be, whilst we are scoring on average three goals per game, we are conceding two.
Now if we can extend the run until May, who knows how many games we will be excluding.

Did you genuinely think other LFC fans would be anything other than pleased with 10 points from 12 for those fixtures?

Without wanting to answer on people's behalf, I'll answer on their behalf. If we keep winning he'll be safe. If we get 10 points from those 4 games he'll be safe for a while.

It's far more likely we'll get 1 point than 10 points though from those 4 games.

How would you naysayers feel about Rodgers if he won every remaining league game and we got the title? Would you still want him out then? Would ye? I'm willing to bet ye wouldn't.

Even if we managed to somehow get 10 points from the next 4 games it doesn't change things much for me. Rodgers is on a probationary period right now and he should be.

He's gone from being over-reliant on Suarez to being over reliant on Coutinho and looks more than willing to let Danny slot straight back into the lead role and take over the pressure.

Instead of trying to find a formation that works and stick to it he chops and changes all the time.

He's just sticking his finger into a hole in a dam and hoping it'll all work out fine.

I guess this whole "there is a conspiracy against me" thing is a Mourinho-lite tactic of deflecting attention. But I would hope he means the media rather than the fans as if he turns on the fans then it's game over.

It's only a rumour, but I've heard it said that some people have been known to reassess their views on issues in the light of changed circumstances.

Sounds a bit like Bigfoot and the Yeti getting married...

If we won every single game from now on in and got the title I'd be ****ing delighted......

But I wouldn't be an all trusting follower of Rodgers as a manager that I had been during the 2nd place season.

It would give him till Christmas, but it will take more than that 4 games to change my view that Rodgers isn't the answer.

Now, maybe you could answer a question of mine? 1 point in the next 4....sack him?

rob316

Look if rodgers gets results the fans are happy.
If rodgers continues to get results his job is safe.

If rodgers doesn't get results the fans aren't happy. If rodgers continues to not get results then his job is not safe.

The conclusion is for everyone to be happy rodgers has to get results.

It's a black and white situation, his goodwill with the fans and club has been used up, there is no in between and no excuses.

He got a few reults at the start of the season, but any fans who watched our frist two games was hardly happy.

"We wanted to win for the manager.

"We know what has been said about him and think we showed we are a group of players behind him and trying to make everything right.

"We know the pressure is on him but we wanted to play the way he wants us to play and I think we did that."

There were fans unhappy with the performances, but I can't remember anyone looking for him to be sacked after the first two games.

Mark Lawrenson sums up the Stoke game:

It's been a very drab game. Extremely dull - it's been a bit of a dog's dinner at times - but the goal was absolutely top class. The turn on Steve Sidwell was brilliant - that gave Philippe Coutinho the space to run on goal.

Bournemouth at home we scored an offside goal, they had a legitimate goal disallowed.

Arsenal away, they had a legitimate goal disallowed.

Rubbish against United.
Rubbish against West Ham.

Draw at Anfield with Norwich.

The six games up to yesterday were certainly nothing to be happy about.

You could make the same case for Utd and they are top of the table. Stoke away was a good solid result, first half against Arsenal was excellent. Bournemouth goal was a free kick. It's just because it's poor old Bournemouth people feel sorry for them. West Ham and Utd was rubbish. They battered Norwich and yesterday was good.
