I hope they pull it back to 5-4. We don't want him getting sacked.

He really does not help himself. Why does he come out and make these statements? So stupid. Sport Witness taking the piss.Even the most delusional dippers have now given up on him, the circus will continue when he is fired.
West Ham job if Liverpool sack him?
God I hope they don't sack him. It will ruin a great end to the season.
hopefully big sam to anfield aswell
ahh please sack me! players aint even out of the shower yet spineless feck
KRAP
Think this performance could force the owners' hand.
Isn't there a slightly corpulent waiter from Spain who'd want a job next season? It would be brilliant if they replaced Brentan with Benitez instead of someone like Klopp.
seriously....is Rodgers gone then?
not after finishing so close last season...that was Slippy's fault....

Not that I've been hearing. They'll sound out Klopp/Ancellotti first IMO
Feck me, imagine that
Balls, they're gonna sack him...
You took it too far brenda.. Lacked the ability to slowly underachieve so he stays in the job, just went all out to feck them over. Oh well, as long as they don't get Klopp then they'll still be shite.
I love that he is back to being a punchline. It was weird that we had to respect him last season.
That feck for that slip is all I'll say- far too close for comfort last year.
Could Brenton be PoP?
Rodgers apologized to the fans and his son for not being able to go to Wembley to see him play.
Does the man not own a chapstick?
Good. They won't get anyone better. I don't even think Klopp would be a success there.
But I thought he was 150% sure?
His son is on the bench anyway (and his team are getting pumped 3-0 at half time). Not a great day for the Rodgers.
I like the man but all the Brendan-isms are out in force in the post match interview...
Not good for KRAP from the Echo.

Liverpool FC Talking Point: If plenty of fans were still ‘undecided’ on Rodgers' future, then this was enough to change their minds
18:48, 24 MAY 2015
BY NEIL JONES
Increasing majority of Reds believe last season, not this, was the exception to the rule where Rodgers is concerned
Prior to this game, Brendan Rodgers was asked by the media if he believed he would be Liverpool’s manager next season.
“Yes, yes, 150 per cent,” was his tub-thumping answer.
If he is still of that opinion now, then he’s either the bravest man alive, or he’s kidding himself.
There are lows and then there are lows. In a footballing sense, this was as bad as it gets, the most embarrassing afternoon imaginable, both for Rodgers and for Liverpool Football Club. Disgraceful barely does it justice.
Rodgers was berated as he passed the travelling Reds fans on his way to the dressing room at half time. It wasn’t a nice sight, but then Liverpool were 5-0 down. At Stoke. At half time, having conceded all the goals in the space of 22 horrific minutes. In all honesty, he was lucky any Reds had stayed long enough to confront him.
“They have every right to be angry and frustrated,” he said. “That was awful, absolutely awful.”
If there were still plenty of supporters in the ‘undecided’ camp when it comes to the manager’s future, then this was enough to change their minds. This was a performance so bad, it had to be seen to be believed. A sackable offence? Time will tell.
Rodgers’ end-of-season review with the American owners next week – “a formality”, he felt last week – will now be a more than uncomfortable experience. He may be able to offer mitigation for an underwhelming season, or show the logic behind his increasingly strange team selections, but to explain a capitulation, a humiliation, like this? All the best.
This was a performance worse than anything the club offered up under either Roy Hodgson or Kenny Dalglish
To be fair to him, he didn’t even try to here. Usually a bullish, confident character in front of the cameras, here his demeanour reflected his team’s performance; humbled, humiliated, beaten. That pained, haunted look, we’ve seen it before. It was the look of a man worried about his job.
“If the owners ask me to go, then I go,” he said. By the end of next week, we will know whether they’ve asked.
If they do, then what a horrendous way to sign off – with the club’s worst competitive defeat for 52 years, with supporters jeering, players hiding. And with an increasing majority believing that last season, not this, was the exception to the rule where Rodgers is concerned.
There’s no sugar coating it; this was a performance worse than anything the club offered up under either Roy Hodgson or Kenny Dalglish, both of whom lost their jobs pretty swiftly under Fenway Sports Group.
Of course, the noises out of Anfield throughout this season, even during the darkest moments, have been that Rodgers is NOT in danger of becoming the latest managerial casualty.
“He’s our man,” was the message after defeat to Crystal Palace in November, and repeated following the FA Cup semi final defeat to Aston Villa in April. The manager’s position was “not even up for discussion.”
It’ll be being discussed now, though. Loudly. You can bet your bottom dollar on that one.
