And apart from Sturridge and Coutinho, no other signing could be counted as a good signing so far.

You swapped tables last season.
Mignolet ?
He's got a crap back 4 in front of him.
Nah Mignolet is utter shit. The back four can blame him for their form as much as he can blame them.
Allen and Toure have been good additions.
Loads of money on loads of average players, then complain that the league is corrupt when they perform averagely..... its the Liverpool way.
Christmas is coming up, Stevie G's annual '2 or 3 quality players short/confident for next year' interview must even be scheduled at this stage.

I thought he was ok last season,although the opposition had yere attack to worry about.
Most of the liverpool team has been shit this season.
Don't agree at all with Allen. Perhaps he has potential but a good signing? Not on the evidence so far.
His record in the transfer market and in Europe is total shit. He'll never do anything like getting to second place again, let alone win a major trophy.
He was good up until Christmas. Really good at times. Then he made a few big mistakes against City and Chelsea and since then hasn't looked anywhere near the same.
I'm sure he was being sarcastic
I don't think he was.
What I don't get is how Manquillo is not playing
He is surely better than Glen Johnson
He is surely better than Glen Johnson
Pretty sure he wasn't. He rates Allen highly
He wasnt he genuinely believes they've been good signings.
He is. Johnson and Skrtel are undrinkable under Rodgers though (not that we have much choice with Skrtel).
Edit: undrinkable? Cheers autocorrect. Undroppable.
Even last season when Liverpool were flying both were poor
Barney they are average players who do decent jobs. Is Allen any better than Shelvey or Toure any better than Agger who were both already there? It is the same as Mignolet is he any better than Reina certainly not £10-£15m worth better. That's about £20-£30m replacing 3 players who haven't improved your team!
Allen was very good last season when he played.
Allen is better than Shelvey for what we ask him to do. Toure isn't better than Agger, but you don't keep Agger on £120k pw on the bench as fourth choice. Agger and Toure weren't competing for the same position either. Reina and Mignolet are at a similar level now. We spent £24m and recouped around £13m with those signings and the wage bill will have been massively reduced.
So you got £5m for Shelvey and £3m for Agger! Did you get £5m for Reina? The point being Toure will be on a decent wage and Allen will be on more than Shelvey was on also! So as much as you want to dress it up buddy that money wasn't greatly spent!
Brilliant stuff. I'm waiting for him to remove his Rodgers mask to reveal Moyes underneath.
He was good at times last season - the odd good performance where he did the simple things well - nothing he does really make him stand out from an average player who racks up ggreat passing percentages - he didn't start that many games, was a sub lots and he was ok in a dynamic Liverpool team
Season 1 he was ok, this season pretty poor
Overall you'd give his career at Liverpool Liverpool a 5 or 6/10 at best - an underwhelming player who would look half decent in the midfield of any side playing really well - Shelvey - who you sold for half of what you paid for Allen is a superior player and was a victim of Rodgers wanting one of his old players in
How brilliant would it be to knock them out of the top 4 and display a 'Brendan Rodgers - Football Genius' banner when we play them!
Find an old, younger, fatter version of Rodgers for the banner.
Anyway, it's fun how things have panned out for them. First that fantastic slip that has broken thousands of hearts and disturbed mental stability of many dippers ( to be observed i.a. here ) and now this season. Sold Shituarez, bought a sack of shit players and added clown like Bibotelli who simply spices it up.

It's all a bit Emperors New Clothes with Rodgers. Some of the praise he was getting for not winning the league last season was way over the top.
The suspicion was always that he dined out on Suarez, but I don't think anyone realised to what extent.
Right now he's combining all the worst aspects of previous regimes. Hodgson's shit football, Rafa's shit transfer policy and Dalglish's delusion.

Allen who offers literally nothing and Toure who rarely plays....?
He's on loan from Atlético .
they done a nice banner for him at the start of the season
Oh damn, I stand corrected then, cheers for that.
No idea why they don't play him then. Johnson could be another scouse hero like Slippy G, undroppable and so on.
No probs.
Yet they are still ahead of us on points!
I do think he was flattered by suarez last season, who lifted everyone around him.
But Brentan is offering now what I expected him too. Exactly what he offered at swansea. a raft of poor signings, and plenty of possession around the halfway line without any clue what to do up top or at the back.
This is exactly how his swansea team played.

By january it will say 'TOSS'
Or BOSSED
