He's going down the Moyes route of trying to make performances sound better then they were and hoping for 'luck'.

Listening to him is like reliving Moyes all over from last season.
 
'When I first came to Liverpool, I put my principles in place; this is the way I work.

'Once I was bedded in and people understood, I became a little more democratic, more educational. But after Palace, I’m thinking “Right, I need to become autocratic again.”

'I've provided even more clarity, been more concise in the ways of working.'

Incredible that how much he was carried by Suarez last season. All the goals are obviously gone but Liverpool look absolutely woeful attacking these days. Such an huge opposite from last season where they absolutely annihilated teams in the first quarter of the match.

He probably could cope without just Suarez. The problem is we can't cope without Sturridge too.

He's always spoken like this. It's just now that he's struggling United supporters are trying to compare everything he does or says to Moyes.
 
King Midas has lost his touch. Well, nothing else explains why he bought Balotelli other than he actually felt he could've turned the Italian into a Cantone-esque signing. What a failure he's been in the transfer market.

If your team is struggling to cope due to an injury to one player then its poor management as simple as that.

Depends what player. If Messi or Ronaldo get injured they're irreplaceable regardless of management.

Has he, how many times last season was he hoping for luck? Maybe he's just praying for the same number of penalties you guys were awarded last season. That's most likely the luck he's referring to.
 
Is the Cristiano and Messi post just for debate value? Cos it's Daniel Sturridge we're talking about here, and his absence being so much of a problem is a perfect example of bad management.
 
Exactly. Not like Rodgers signed no strikers.

He signed three in the summer. Two of them Lambert and Balotelli were just awful choices.

Losing a player like him plays a huge role but he's replaced him absolutely poorly. Not even referring to the dip in quality but just the dip in style.

Pool absolutely slaughtered team because of their pace and movement. Superb quick incisive football. When he lost Suarez, he should have replaced him with players who played the same way. He went on to get Labert and Balotelli meaning he didnt just lose quality, he fecked the very style which made them so lethal.

Definition of 'folklore': "the traditional beliefs, customs, and stories of a community, passed through the generations by word of mouth."

I can imagine it, 6 generations from now Liverpool fans will speak of how their great great great white bearded granddad was at Anfield to witness the legendary Maestro Rodgers with his fake tan and heavenly white teeth lead Liverpool to glory against all odds taking down the mighty FC Basle of Switzerland as Liverpool progressed into the last 16 of the champions league. They too will pass this legend on to their children and they on to their children for as long as they live, legend has it that night Maestro Rodgers retired to his rented apartment and slept well for supreme captain Kim Jong-Gerrard rewarded his loyal tenant with a tempur mattress.

What utter nonsense, folklore:lol: from winning the Champions League to now just qualifying from a relatively straightforward group is folklore :lol:.
 
Will they sack him if they fail to win tonight? 6 wins out of 15 this season and out in the group stage, his tenure may come to a halt.

Lets hope 'drop' into the Europa League, because they'll believe they can win it and qualify for the CL that way.

Yeah that would be perfect. Most likely Real will win their home game and Pool will more likely be third(if they fail to win).

They have pretty tough December as well. Away to United, Home to Arse, away to Burnley and home to Swansea. I expect them to win no more than 4 points in those 4 games.
