Exactly. But the only problem is that he does appear to be a very good manager, which is quite frustrating.Yeah I was reading that article the other day. It was actually interesting enough reading but he had to go and ruin it with all the cringe again

I don't mind Rodgers as much as some people but those bits of Spanish are just stupid. What a complete hoop

Nev already commented on that opening post.
Cheers for reminding me, boss. I was on my phone earlier so the link wouldn't work.
Fixed now!
I know he did. Still doesn't make it any less funny.
By the way, when Rodgers was doing well with Swansea in the first few months of the season, I too was caught up in the hysteria. However, like the Neviller has alluded to, we saw through the bullshit pretty quickly thereafter.
It's the same as with Moyes, either we didn't recognize his comments due to lesser interest in him as a person or the delusions of grandeur came with the significantly bigger club and him feeling special because of it.
Or we all are just unobjective and hate Liverpool.

Erm, Moyes is staunchly self-deprecating in his interviews; not much of an ego with him at all.
If, and it rarely happened, he did come out with Billy Big Bollocks talk, it was in an attempt to foist his authority upon the squad. Sadly, our lot gave up on him pretty quickly and our season never really recovered thereafter.
At the time those comments were perfectly valid. He DID have Swansea playing well (he still has Liverpool playing good football, as much as I despise them, it's true). And he did appear to know what he was talking about when he spoke about football.
I definitely don't recall as much bullshit from him back then, apart from that Sunderland nonsense.
And, to be fair, I didn't really hide how quickly my opinion changed either.
The day he joined Liverpool.

He does seem to like to play football the right way, so my opinion on that hasn't changed, but he's now Liverpool manager. I have no desire to see Liverpool play nice football or be successful, so I now hope he fails in everything he tries to do, until he gets sacked for not being fat, Spanish or a waiter.

Bringing Sarni into this debate is like asking Alistair to join a Thatcher discussion.
His post is just one that I completely agree with and which, I think, shows the opposite of what you said. But like I said, matter of opinion.
This idea of not supporting Moyes because he was "too arrogant" is ridiculous. He's a self-deprecating man who felt he had the need to defend himself as he was getting shit from all angles pretty much all season. I'd have done the exact same myself - there's nothing wrong with it.
Also, the people who abhor Moyes' "arrogance" are probably the same folk who are lauding van Gaal's confidence right now. And, yes, before someone suggests it, I'm fully aware that van Gaal has won far more than Moyes in his career and maybe has a right to be cocky.

Well, nobody said that was the reason he lost support, the main reason was the abysmal football on the pitch. And you're completely right with your last sentence, it's a difference whether David Moyes praises himself for beating Olympiakos or Van Gaal being arrogant beforehand due to his proven methods and success with it.
Wrong thread for it though.
He's an unbelievably weird, self-loving, self-delusional worm of a man. The kind of man that hangs a portrait of himself in his own house. Oh wait..
The feck has Moyes got to do with any of this? He said some stuff that rubbed some people up the wrong way at the time and looks a little ill-judged in hindsight. Just like all managers, then.
Rodgers self-helpy middle management speak is what makes him a uniquely irritating speaker. Don't see the comparison with Moyes at all.

The comparison was that they're both british managers who not long ago managed a smaller club and then managed to step up to a bigger club. The reason for the comparison were the now rather funny comments about Rodgers, back when he was still managing Swansea. Obviously Moyes is far from being deluded, arrogant and all the other things that qualify for being a Liverpool manager, compared to Rodgers. Just saw them as two similar cases and wondered wether Rodgers was always the same or developed this attidude in the last 2 years, because, although Moyes isn't as extreme as Rodgers, his mindset may have changed a little since his United stint.
Me, not even an hour ago. #3969
I always regret bringing up Moyes, because with him there come those awful memories. I'm not doing this on purpose.
I was just joking, bro!

I only quoted him, there's no opinion included in that post only quotes.
Listening to Kenwright on Sky now. He and Rodgers, so much bullshit in one city...
And unlike LVG with his English only policy, you can just imagine Brenton soliciting his players to speak Spanish, against their will in some cases.
ROGERS: Lucas, Philippe, hasta luego!
Countinho and Lucas: uh gaffer, there's something we need to discuss...
ROGERS: silencio cabrons!
"After the final match of the season against Newcastle at Anfield, Rodgers walked back to his office with his family. He was asked when he had known the title had gone. Was it Steven Gerrards slip against Chelsea? 'No, no' he said. 'I knew when Jordan got sent off against Manchester City. I knew i couldn't replace him."
That's massive praise for the lad.

Looks more like a deflection away from Gerrard to me.
Ah, so it wasn't slippy G, it was Magic Jordan's absence, of course.
Nice damage control, to be expected though.

It's a good line but it's bollocks.
Your side was absolutely buzzing after the City win. "We can't let this slip now" and all that.
I doubt your manager was thinking that day, "the title is gone". If he was he is a massive idiot.
He's obviously not going to say 'yeah it was Stevie's slip'
Please tell me you're not buying that?
Pretty much. His way of praising Henderson and protecting Gerrard at the same time, but everyone knows he's not been truthful.
No, obviously not. Bob Loblaw has it spot on.
10 out of a possible 10
Pure guesswork on the non-brendan ones...
Good work. I was disappointed because The Office is one of my favourite shows. Honestly couldn't tell who was who with some of them!
Brendan just doesn't want to blame Gerrard.
That's a good answer tbf, even if it's bollocks.
Well of course it's bollocks. They didn't lose the title against Man City, a game they fecking won, they lost it against Chelsea, Stevie G with the vital assist.
