You think Rodgers has some Wenger-esque personal obsession with reducing the wage bill and buying young players? Or maybe FSG are behind those policies perhaps? And if we get a new manager in and Ayre ****s up their 5 first choice signings do we just sack the new manager and go again?
Nuff said. No club can survive the enormity of this cock up. Most of this £200m has gone down the drain.
Ayre will be gone in the summer. At least with a manager like Klopp, he has the ability to attract players we probs wouldn't without CL football.
I disagree with some of the points, you mention Bertrand (bound to notice that) but he's a solid consistant defender who has good attacking qualities and available at a decent price, he's who we should have bought. A midfield of --------Lucas-------- Hendo--------Vidal That'll do for me and is an example of how 1 player can make a big difference
I agree with how a player can make a difference. But I think we need 2-3 of them - another CB, DM and a ST/AM.
and how did he do that? Apart from being one of the best Liverpool servants he did what Chewy Suarez did but Chewy got to come back to the team. This was basically a political move by Rodgers and a blatant cut your nose off to spite you face. He paid big money for Mignolet and rather than having an arguably better number 1 or at worse a competent no.2, he got rid of arguably a top 3 keeper (3 years ago) for free and left you up **** creek in terms of goalkeeping competition.
Who's slagging off Sturridge, stating we can't rely on him because of this injury record is pretty accurate imo. Both Studge and Agger, good players, but they couldn't\can't stay match fit.
I have always been a massive fan of reina's, he was perfect for the system of playing out from the back and still is miles better than the flapper you have between the sticks. Rodgers wanted his own stamp on the club and has managed to squeeze out the older and experienced players, to Liverpool detriment.
Reina was a top keeper but something went wrong (think it was when the spanish GK coach left) and his performances were really poor to the point where he was costing us points. Age and wages were against him, and he simply was not value for money. One thing we do miss is the leadership. However, I cannot blame us for moving him on - he flirted with Barcelona for a while and he was expected to leave in the summer. The club did what was expected, and that was to plan for the future and bring a new keeper in. That was smart and it was the right thing to do.
Rodgers to stay, and accept help in the areas he is not doing well. Defence coaching and transfers. That will do me. After all the changes and and so on, this season was always going to be a test. He has to accept the help he needs, if he can't accept that, then he might have to push off elsewhere. I have no problems with his squad management and coaching, defence apart. We've never been solid at the back under Rodgers except in brief spells.
I think that's true. He got rid of the old hands like Reina, Kuyt and Agger, and kept Gerrard onside by letting him rule the roost. I'm sure that stuff like his envelopes routine and power points had some of the more experienced pro's laughing at him behind his back and questioning his credentials.
Yeah and we either didn't buy them or bought rubbish. To be fair though I was pleased with Lovren and thought he'd be good, shows what I know. Also shows what Rodgers knows unfortunately.
You certainly get that feeling from Rodgers, that he doesn't like to be challenged. Players with strong egos like Agger, Sakho, Reina have all been marginalised by Rodgers. It's probs why Rodgers prefers to work with youth or English dross with no backbone ala Lallana.
I'm sure that's right. Lads who'll lap up his babble as opposed to seasoned pro's who've worked with far better and would smell a fraud a mile off.
