Am I wrong or is he basically saying they have 4 people for a job that most other clubs give to one man?

I think he's gone if they can find a decent replacement. I'll be gutted if they get Klopp. KRAP
Most clubs probably have input on transfers from a few people, but the difference here is that Rodgers doesn't seem to have a definitive say in who Liverpool sign.
Surely that means they don't trust his judgement? I had thought that their owners were quite sensible and would give him another season but things like their weirdly set up transfer committee make me wonder.
I don't blame them. He bought players like Lallana and Lambert.
Isn't he actually on that transfer committee?
He's not very good at this whole managing a club thing, is he?
Those photos are really not a good look for him. Looks like a defeated man.

So he says they need a new striker. They signed two in the summer. Shame they've both been shite.

he just doesn't play lambert though does he? put him on at Wembley in the last minute or so for a corner. 'make a nuisance of yerself rickie lad'
Playing Lambert for the last minute or so of a game is still playing Lambert too much. He's absolutely horrific.
I wouldn't have signed Lambert on a freebie. I hope for Liverpool's sake Rodgers didn't sign him for the romance of the story - Lambert being a boyhood Liverpool fan, released by the club, playing in all four divisions, then returning to his boyhood club.
Why do you feel Rodgers signed him? Provide depth maybe.
Could've as well said 'FIVE TIMES LA' ' and everybody would start clapping. And yea, Liverpool's more like Milan teams, definitely not up there with RM, Bayern or Barcelona.
I think he thought he could be a good "plan B" to come off the bench but those signings rarely work. Plus he was really overrated in terms of his technical ability, everyone was saying before he joined that he was good on the ball but his touch has been an embarrassment.
every time is hear this '5 times' now I picture that clip of the Liverpool fan saying 5 times to a real Madrid player at Anfield this season
Still makes me
Cover of ESPN UK at the moment.
To be fair to the guy he has been severely handicapped by losing Suarez and with the injuries to Sturridge. But you really have to question his signings too.
He is like a damn lizard. His tongue is always sticking out.Cover of ESPN UK at the moment.
Did I see a quote from him after the weekend where he included the phrase "We go again"?
That's unfair, he scored 106 goals for Southampton in 207 appearances. If he had played him properly, there is no reason why he couldn't have got double figures, or close to that. With Sturridge out for so much of the season he could have played far more full games rather than bit parts here and there, how many games did he start for you lot?
*edited, bad taste*

He is completely unsuited to the way Liverpool play. It was a very odd signing.
8 starts, 5 in the league, 20 sub appearances.
I was going to include that in my post, tbf, but still, he can score goals he was a major part of Southampton's success story.
I dont blame Lambert, he's a fan of the club and was never going to turn down the chance to move there. Rodgers should know much better though. Incredibly daft signing. He can score goals, yes, but when his style is so unsuited to the way he plays, he's never going to get too many chances. The fact that Sterling has played as a striker says it all.
Nah. Excellent lower league striker, but a poor PL player.
A predictable failure for a club like Liverpool. Even on a free he'd have been a crap signing but the fact that they paid for him makes it a disaster.
After last season Liverpool needed to make a statement in the transfer market that they were back as a force in English football. Instead they sold their best player and replaced him with an over the hill lower league striker and a headcase.
To be fair, they did try.
That's really harsh. He's scored 28 league goals in the last 2 season before he joined Liverpool.
Not saying he's world class or anything but he's clearly a good player. He's also quite good technically. His lack of mobility is the main issue and didn't suit Liverpool. But with Sturridge out for large parts they could have done a lot worse than play to Lambert's strength.
I was always sceptical of the good technically tag before he joined Liverpool. Now I know it's just complete bollocks, his touch is woeful, he can't pass, he can't dribble.
Wouldn't dispute that he's a good player for a mid table side, but his technique is mediocre for a team like Liverpool.
The problem I have with playing to his strengths is that every time we tried giving him the ball from crosses he was standing out of breath 10 yards behind the play. Just pointless, I'd even prefer Borini.
Doesn't really help that you've barely played him and the manager quite blatantly has no trust in him. I think he's a better player than he's looked for you.
Fitness is an issue though, agree with that.
I think he's better than he's looked for us too, but that wouldn't be hard. It's not really his fault, he's not suited to our style. I just don't think it's Rodgers' fault either - aside from making the mistake of buying him.
They'll be challenging for the title next year he says.
"We have great hope we can really push on again. I have absolutely no doubt it will happen.
It will be a big summer for us to find the right type of player that can come in and do that. Then we can go and work how we've worked for a lot of the last 18 months.
I'm as hungry as I've ever been. I'm ambitious to win and there is no greater place than here to win. I am still committed to doing that here."

Im dying to know what it was now. I mean obviously some play on the word handicapped but I want to know what exactly
This is used a lot, and it's true, but to be honest, your 'style' this season hasn't really been free flowing, and hasn't been effective. Had Rodgers adopted a more pragmatic approach, especially with Sturridge out and Sterling incapable of finding his form of last season, he could have shaken up the 'style' to suit other players rather than sticking to one way that was, for the large part of the season, just not working.
Lambert is not half as bad as people are making out in retrospect, his technique is okay and he's more than a Heskey/Carroll type of player you just use with long balls. He was very effective for Saints last term, and Rodgers totally mismanaged him.
(not that Lambert is the second coming of the Christ or anything, but he's not the shite player people try to make out to excuse how little and poorly he's been used)

If it was funny enough, I'd have left it up bad taste or not. Nothing worse than a crap joke in bad taste though.
We've tried the lump ball to target man approach with Lambert too and he was shite then. He's just not good enough for us, he might not have played much but his performances don't warrant any more playing time than he gets.
