I've feared this game for a while, well, since 'Arry got the job. We never seem to do well against 'Arry and/or lower placed sides. QPR have some decent players that will be more up for player a 'Liverpool' or 'Man Utd' than a 'Norwich' or 'Southampton', no offence intended.
We need to show some consistency more than anything, the fact that we've not won three back-to-back PL games for a few years speaks for itself.
I don't think the QPR players will consider this current LFC team to be much different to a Norwich or Southampton. Again no offence intended.
Wouldn't it make more sense to give a promising young manager time to work with a promising young squad? Top managers are hardly likely to be rushing to Anfield with little money to spend. Hounding Hodgson out and then giving Dalglish the job, not to mention a wheelbarrow full of cash to spend, didn't go too well. Rodgers will come good- Rome not built in a day and all that.
You are going to batter them...they are complete ****...they have won 7 league matches in the whole of 2012...only 1 this season. They wont pick up until they sign some players...I reckon they'll pick up in mid january after they've signed a new first team.
That he has overseen half a season and you're going backwards. That he hasn't operated at the level you aim to be at That he hasn't ever 'rebuilt' any side, and yet he is expected to 'repeay' what he did at Swansea That he made a complete mess of the last transfer window
I know what you're saying but it is still Liverpool Football Club and players see us as a big scalp despite us being ****!
None of that is evidence. He has overseen half a season and we're in roughly the same position as last year, given that circumstances change, I wouldn't say that is going backwards. He has operated in the premier league and beat the sort of opposition we aim to be around, Dalglish has operated at the level we aim to be at, doesn't make him any more suited to being our manager than Rodgers. He isn't expected to "rebuild" our side immediately, he's expected to add to it and work with what hes got. Who says he's expected to repeat what he did at Swansea? He was more than likely hired for his potential. He made a complete mess did he? He addressed the problem areas, a DLP in Allen and a striker in Borini. Just because they weren't what we expected doesn't mean he made a mess of the window at all. Equally, sending Carroll on loan was based on assurances from the owners/chairman that just weren't kept, that's not his fault.
Yes he made a complete mess of it. Do you think Harry Redknapp would've let that happen? Would he he ****. Rodgers is a cheap appointment, who will do as he is ****ing told, and be grateful.
Disagree with that Ze. Our problem was that we didn't score enough goals. And he's not signed a single player that can score goals. Infact between the 4 of his summer signings, they've scored 1 league goal. Considering we all knew that scoring was our major problem last season then its quite a mistake to spend £30m + about £250k on wages on 4 players who have only managed 1 goal between them, and that goal wasn't actually meaningful. I have said it wasn't all his fault, as he's obviously been unfortunate that Borini picked up an injury and has been out for almost 3 months and that the owners didn't get Dempsey as they'd promised him, but I can see why some people would class it as a mess when you fail to address something so obvious when you're making transfers.
